Accused Viii Be One Of These
Decision. Maybe, in
Two Weeks
Defense Got in Some Strong!
Testimony Against Orch
ard Yesterday

Boise, Idaho, July 5Ihe begin
ming OF the end Of the HAYWOOD trial
was reached today when counsel for
defense announced that with the ex-
ception OF three or four witnesses their
case in direct is before the jury
Charles FL. Meyer, the accused pre-
sident OF the Western Federation nf
Miners, will be called as q witness
Monday next. He will be followed by
William b. Haywood, another officer.
Judge Fremont Wood has asked
counsel of both sides to submit their
requests for instructions to the jury.
In adjourning court this afternoon
until next Monday at 10 o'clock, Judge
Wood said he hoped the interval would
be utilized by counsel in preparations
that would prevent further delay and
bring the case to as speedy q close as
possible.
{ 1T is now expected that rehuttai IN
behalf of the state will commence on
Wednesday and possibly on Tuesday
much depending on the exten5S6f the
cross examination and yHaywood-
There is possibili sef the verdict
or disagreement in two weeks.
Five Witnesses on the stand this
morning added support to those who
have preceded them. They were cali
ed to testify on certain conditions
existing in Colorado during the dis
turbances at Cripple Greek and to
show that there was no reason to cali
out the militia.
Orchard was further diseredited by
Owen Barnes, a miner, who lived near
independence and who, Orchard had
said, assisted him in the manufacture
of bombs. Barnes said he knew On
chard, Adams, Easterly and the 9TH
ers, but fatty denied that he ever
planned or discussed any criminal ex-
petition with Orchard.
j. Wolff who sWore that he was IL
nancial clerk for George Pettibone for
many years and closed up Pettibone's
business after he was arrested, proved
one of the strong witnesses for the de-
tense. In his statement on the stand
Orchard swore that when in San Fran
cisco on the Bradley killing expedi-
ton, he sent to Pettibone for money
which he received by a registered let
ter containing five tWenty-dollar bills
He said the letter was signed
Wolffn and the state intimated that
was the name under which Pettibone
passed. The witness today swore that
he had sent Orchard no money, but
that he had sent d registered letter to-
Orchard as Jack Dempsey" address
ed to him in San Francisco. This let
ter Wolff swore contained a Masonic
charm and card that Orchard had left
with Pettibone and for which it has
been testified he wrote after his ar
rival in San Francisco. sss
The examination of VIM. D. Hay
| wood next week is looked forward to
as one of the big features of the case
! 1t is probable that Haywood will be
| closely examined as to his whole life,
| and that he will be asked in his own
defense to expose everything he pos
sibly can give out in connection with
the affairs Of the Western Confedera
tion or Miners. &.

COMPLIMENT FOR FRAZIER.

The Pasadena (Cal. J Star pays
Senator James b. Frazier hand
some tribute by publishing his
speech last winter on the Califor-
MIA school question in full and
commenting on the Tennessean's S
efforts at length.
This speech from Senator Fra
zier, by the way, changed the whole
program of the administration on
the California trouble.
Senator Frazier took the posi-
tion that the Federal Government
had no, Constitutional warrant to
dabble in CALIFORNIA; school af-
fairs. In support of this position
he very carefully. put before tho
Senate his own opinions and every
authority extant, and at the close
of his remarks, there was a confer
ence OF administration leaders to
select some man to answer the
Tennessean.
The result of this conference
was that no man was selected for
the Job, the opinion prevailing
that the speech was unanswerable.
President Roosevelt was advised
that il he persisted in his program
he would not be upheld by the
courts.
1t was soon after this that the
administration abandoned its first
position and agreed to enact legis-
lation barring Oriental laborers
from the country if the San Fran
cisco school authorities would
slightly modify their order pro-
hibiting the teaching of Japanese
children in the public schools.
Senator Frazier's speech was the
directcause of this change and was
known to be such by every Repub-
lican Senator who attended the
conference alluded to in the fore
going. No speech delivered in
