BOISE. Idaho, Aug. 2.-willism D. Hay
wood. secretary-treasurer Of the western
Federation of Miners. accompanied by the
family, John Murphy, general counsel OF
the federation. who is dying OF consump-
ton, and several socialist writers, who
have been in Boise throughout the trial.
left here on an early trein today for
Denver The party is travelling by way
Of Salt Lake City. where they viii arrive
late this afternoon. Haywood will stop
for few hours IN Salt Lake City to see
that his mother. Mrs. Eta Carruthers, IS
comfortably returned to her home.
Haywood will proceed thence to Denver,
arriving there late Saturday night or early
Sunday. Charles H. Meyer, president Of
the federation. who has been released in
s25.O0O bail was also expected TO leave to-
dav. but has postponed his departure until
tomorrow night. He. too. will go by way
Of Salt Lake City and then TO Colorado
Springs and Manitou before arriving in
Denver.
The fact that Haywood and Meyer did
not leave together has renewed rumors
widely circulated some time ago Of serious
differences existing between the two chief
officers of the federation. Both men denied
these stories today and declared they were
circulated for the same purpose Of creating
dissension and trying to divide the ranks
Of the miners organization.
Does Not Approve Celebration.
It is known. however, that Meyer has
not wholly approved of the plan for a
celebration in Denver on Sunday and will
have no part in 1t. He believes II would
be far better to wait until at least George
A. Pettibone. who must remain here in
jail. has had his trial. 1T was one Of the
saddest things 1 have ever had to do"
said Meyer today, Ito go away and leave
Pettibone in Jail I did not wish to go
at all. but he insisted 1 could do him more
good on the outside than 1 could by remain
ing. 1 shall return to Boise in two weeks
TO look after Pettibope's interest. I do
not know when I will take up my duties
at the Denver headquarters. Not for some
time. Ny health is none to good"
There is to be a readjustment of counsel
for the Pettibone and Meyer trials and
this fact has given rise 10 reports of
dificulties among the lawyers. There were
ten attorneys in the Haywood case and not
more than three or four OF these may be
retained. The matter is to be settled soon
at a conference in Denver. Clarence Dar-
row Of Chicago and z. F. Richardson OF
Denver, 1t Is said, will not be associated
at the next trial. There has been a dis
position among the counsel to criticise
some OF the acts OF the others, but the
verdict of acquItasl in the Haywood case
did much to allay what had grown into a
decidedly sharp feeling.
Big Welcome In Denver.
YER. Avg. 2.-PraeticaIly all of the
labor organizations represented at a
meeting last night. which had for its pur-
pose the perfection of plans for honoring
William D. Haywood secretary treasurer
of the Western Federation Of Miners. who
was acquitted on the charge OF conspirtng
to murder Former Governor steunenbers
of Idaho.
Haywood will arrive in this city from
Salt Lake City next Saturday evening. A
popular demonstration will be made in
which II Is estimated by unionists between
.0O0 and 5000 people will take part. Hay
wood will be met at the Union station and
will ride to his hotel in a carriage drawn
by SIX white horses, symbolical of his in
nocence of the crime with which he was
charged. An effort will be made to have
Haywood address the populace.
Richardson VIII withdraw.
The News says today that Attorney
E. F. Richardson Of Denver, who was
one OF William D. Haywoods eoun-
sci in the famous trial at Boise. Idaho,
has withdrawn from any further connection
with the defense of officials and others of
the Western Federation OF Miners in cases
now pending before the Idaho courts He
is quoted as saying that he will not work
with Clarence DarIow, the Chicago lawyer
associated with him in the case, any longer.
THE whole sum and substance of the
matter is that I cannot endure Darrow's
methods" said Richardson. II do not
sanction socialism. at least not when it is
coupled with the trying OF legal suit, es-
peciauy when that case is a murder case
and means a mans life"
