 ~->----------e----'----- ------------>---~~-----~--- wood. Miller acted as attorney for liar ry Orchard when the self-confessed mur- derer of Steunenberg was arrested at Caldwell. According to witnesses for the state, Miller, who practices at Spokane, sent telegram to Orchard when he was in jail at Caldwell, announcing that he was coming to his assistance
 This message, it is charged, was In pursuance of arrangement made by Haywood that the Western Federation of Miners would defend the murderer. So far the defense has not denied that Miller was retained in the interest of the West ern Federation. but it is maintained that Haywood sent the telegram to Silver City when it was announced in the news papers that the Western Federation was concerned in the murder and that it was their custom to take up all matters where the name of the federation was involved. John Nugent, another of the attorneys representing Haywood was at the time of Orchards arrest practicing in Silver City, Idaho, and he was consulted by the secretary of the local union, who re- ceived Haywood's message. It is known that Miller visited Orchard after his ar rest and that he went to Denver to con- suit with the Western Federation after
 wards, calling on Orchard at the peni- tentiary at Boise.
 Bought Suit of Clothes.
 At this time Miller bought Orchard a suit of clothes and was acting for him, While Miller was in Denver, Orchard s confession was secured by Detective Me- Partland, and when thls confession came out later Millers visits ceased. About q score of witnesses who will be called in
 rebuttal by the state have arrived in
 Boise. They come chiefly from North Idaho and Colorado The defense, having set up the claim of a piracy on the part of the mine owners assocla-
 ton, the Citizens Alliance and the Pin kerton agency, In furtherance of which they have shown by their witnesses that the calling out of the militia in Colorado was unnecessary, the state proposes to show that before the militia was called a number of terrible outrages had been committed and that lives and property of many citizens having been placed in jeopardy during the struggle between the federation and the mine owners, the call ing out of the militia was necessary as | a precaution.
 Among the witnesses In rebuttal will be Captain Mcfarland the manager of the western division of the Pinkerton na- tional detective agency. It is expected his testimony will be highly interesting and that the examination of the defense will BN searching. Mcfarland has been the object of continual attack on tho part of the defense. He has been re- tained by the state of Idaho ever since the arrest of Orchard and has been con- tinually at work on the case against Mover, Haywood and Pettibone since they were brought to Idaho from Colorado. It is probable that the rest of the week will be taken up with the exception of Mover and Haywood. The former goes on the stand today. Counsel for the defense say that his examination will not be | lengthy, and probably i'll be dismissed be- I fore the adjournment this afternoon. Ever since the case against Haywood began | there have been rumors of probably a ! confession from Mover. According to | the best possible information from a re- l liable source there is not the slightest | foundation for these reports. The state ment has been made that society women of Boise are interesting themselves in an effort to influence Mrs. Mover to secure a confession from her husband. For such reports there is not the slightest foundation. It Is beyond question that neither Mrs. Mover nor Mover himself have been approached by any person in Boise with view to influencing the case. A statement to the effect is used by coun- sel for both sides and by both Mover and his wife.
