HAYWOOD NOT
GUILTY OF MURDER
Not Guilty Of Steunenberg Crime
and Promptly Released
JURY WAS OUT 81 HOURS

Boise, Idaho. July 29.-Into the bright
sunlight of a beautiful Sabbath morn
ing, William D. Haywood, secretary
and treasurer of the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners, walked a free man,
acquitted OF the murder Of former Gov
ernor Steunenberg.
Probability Of acquittal was freely
predicted after Judge Fremont Wood
read his charge, which was regarded
as strongly favoring the defense in
its Interpretation of the laws of con
spiracy, circumstantial evidence, and
the corroboration of a confessed &C
complice.
Not the least interesting comments
made upon the verdict was that OF
Harry Orchard, the confessed muir
derer Of Steunenberg, and the witness
on whom the state chiefly relied to
prove It's charge OF a conspiracy
among certain members Of the West
ern Federation of Miners. When told
at the state penitentiary that Hay
wood had been acquitted, Orchard
said:
well. have done my duty. I have
told the truth. 1 could do no more.
am ready to take any punishment that
may be meted out to me for my crime,
and the sooner it CONS the better"
It was after being out for p hours
that the jury, which at first had been
divided to 4 for acquittal, and then
seemed deadlocked at 10 to 2, finally
came to an agreement
Inquiry among the jurors after their
dismissal revealed some of the ele'
ments entering into their decision
Samuel d. Gilman, the last man to be
won over to the defense, declared
that a majority of the jurors seemed
convinced that the general tone Of the
courts instructions indicated that the
defendant should be freed.
Juror James Robertson. the good
natured Scotchman, at whose house
in Boise Governor Steunenberg board
ed for more than two years, said: 81
could not reconcile myself to voting
anv other way than with the defense
from the very first, and I think that
under the law and the evidence, there
was nothing else for us to do. There
was some talk of a compromise of a
second degree verdict but we would
not stand for that. 1t had to be ac'
quittal, or l would have stayed there
forever"
Juror Samuel F. Russell. the senior
member Of the panel. said: There
was nothing against Haywood but sus-
picion and inference, and when we
came to dovetail the evidence in the
Jury room it did not seem somehow
to fit"
Haywood spent the day at the cot
tage occupied by his family and re-
ceived many callers. He expects to
leave for Denver on Thursday.

LYncHINe IN MARYLAND
Negro Murderer Beaten and Kicked TO
Death BY Mob.

Death BY Mob.
Cnsield. Nd, July 29.-James Reed,
eolored. was lynched here. Little more
than a dozen hours before he had
crept up behind John H. Daugherty'
policeman and fired a bullet into the
latter's brain. Daugherty died IN
Btantly.
Daugherty arrested on a warrant a
negro named Hillery Jones, a com
panion of Reeds, and was taking him
to Jail. Reed borrowed a revolver
and. catching up with his friend and
the officer, fired the fatal shot into
the back of his victims head. The two
negroes fed, Reed taking possession
of a bicycle he found nearby. Pursued
and fired upon, he soon abandoned the
wheel and took to a sallboat In which
he headed for Tangier sound, with the
hone. it is presumed, of reaching Nir-
ginia. He was becalmed in the sound
however, and pursuers, learning that
he was ahoat followed him in power
boats. One Of these, on which were
CAPTAIN John Shelton and a number
of armed men, overhauled Reed. The
negro. seeing Captain Shelton's yes
sci approach. jumped overheard and
endeavored to escape by swimming
but was finally captured. He at first
denied his identity, but afterward
made a full confession and ackuowl
edged that he was not under the in
fuence Of liquor when he killed Po'
llceman Daugherty.
AS the boat bearing the negro ap-
preached the wharf here a crowd
gathered quickly. There were angry
ordinations. and some. one struck
Reed a blow with his fist that knocked
the negro senseless. Immediately those
in the crowd pounced upon the pros
trate man and beat and kicked him to
death. A rope was tied to the body
and It was then dragged to the scene
of the shooting and in a moment was
dangling from a telegraph pole There
It remained viewed by hundreds OF
people. many of whom drove in from
miles outside of town when the fact
of the lynching became known.
