 Of the three officials of the Western Federation of Miners now on trial al Boise, Ida. for their lives on the charge of having conspired to cause the mur- der of cx-Governor Frank Steuneuherc of Idaho, w. D. Haywood, secretary and treasurer of the miners organiza- ton, makes the best impression on first acquaintance, says Oscar King Davis the Boise correspondent of the New York Times. He is q big, sturdy fellow. with square head and solid jaw He has lost the sight of his right eve and has developed a curious trick of turn Ing his face away as if 10 conceal his misfortune and rolling his left eve around to keep track of what is going op. It gives him queer unnatura!ly furtive expression, not st all in keeping with his raghtforward manner when personally addressed
 Haywood is a Socialist and an ideal ist. He is fond of reading and deyotes much of his time to it, making it both recreation and study. His friends say that although he is deeply concerned in making the most vigorous fight possi- ble to escape conviction, he has not lost sight of the fact that the death penalty in this case would make him a martyr of organized labor.
 But Charles H. Mover. president of the federation. and George A. Petit bone find no such compensation in their situation. They are both more praC tical men. desperately intent on mak- Ing winning defense. Mover was the brains of the Western Federation of Miners and it's chief organizer. lie !e of the labor leader type and always e1. tremely popular with the regular lahor union man. lie makes a fey speech and carries his audience with hm. He has the reputation of being the best man on his feet in the ranks of organ. ized labor today. Iettlbone in appear ance fits the description reported to have been given of him by Harry Or cbard. He is a slight man, below the average height, With a weak chin and the good natuied grin that goes with it,
 When l saw the three defendants il. had just come down from the court room, where be had listened 10 the ad- verse ruling of Judge Fremont Wood. 1n court he was very nervous and had Difficulty in maintaining an outward show of composure He seldom faced the judge. but continually roIed his left eye toward the bench, while seem- ing to look the other way, But in his cell be is different man. He had nothing to say about his case of course. but manifested a lively interest in what was going on outside and particularly in the effect of the Undesirable citi. gen. expression of the president.
 Pettibone was busy at bis favolite amusement, typography. He had a let of specimens of his work and one which afforded no little amusement. It was a big piece of leather on which be had burned the motto, "So live that every day you can look every man iE the face and tell him to go to b.
 The signature Pettibone has adopted for bis artistic effects in the burned wood and leather line is goat. He signs all his work with that symbol. and there is an irresistible suggestion of appropriateness about it, for Petit bone is not in the class with Mover and Haywood He is the sort of man founG in all small towns-the good natured. handy man who can do job of tinker ing, carpentry, painting, general al around usefulness in the small way mechanic line
 Mover is tall. dark man, with q narrow face and small, deep set eyes And high. long nose. His long lower jaw ends in sharply pointed chin and altogether his face gives the in pression of incisiveness which accords with his reputation.
