OF the defense's witnesses in the Hay
wood trial, was recalled by the state

questions put to him were evidently
for the purpose Of impeachment. After
FLYNN left the stand Haywood was re-
called.
Haywood said Orchard had been at
his house three or four times, but he
never called on Orchard nor had he
ever had anything to do with buying
q horse and buggy for Orchard with
whichlto go out on killing expeditions.
The witness denied severally and pos
itively that he had talked to Orchard
or planned with him the killing OF
Bell Peabody, Hearn. Moffatt, God
dard or Gabbert, and declared Or
chards' story on the witness stand
was the first he had heard Of the mat
ter.

1902. He said the SIS he sent to
Adams at Ogden when the latter wired

pecting and had stated on leaving
Denver, that il he struck anything he
would locate Haywood ON 1t. During
1904 Adams was at headquarters sew

this time.
Did you ever give or send him any
money other than the SIS you have
testified TOT"
mo, SIR
AS to the letter he wrote to Or
chard's wife, Nov. Is, 1905, Haywood
said the note was in reply to one from
Mrs. Orchard inquiring as to her hus-
bands whereabouts. He told her what
he knew about Orchard. He had no
way OF knowing where orchard was
except as the latter had told him his
plans for going to Alaska. Haywood
said he did not care to tell Mrs. Or
chard what her husband said as to
his determination not to return to her.
Haywood declared he knew absolutely
nothing ct the plot against Steunen-
berg.
Il don't know that thought of him
after left the state OF Idaho" The
first Haywood heard of the assassina-
ton was In the papers, which claimed
the crime was elimination of the
troubles In the Cour de- Alenes. The
first definite information came in a
cipher telegram from simpkins, which
was translated at first. Can l get
counsel for Hogan?" but which was
afterwards corrected to read Can not
get counsel for Hogan"
Dar-ow led his client carefully over
the ground covered by Orchard, and
every charge that Haywood had any
connec,ion with Orchard other than
VIVA. was of the most innocent char
acter, or with any criminal act, was
denied again and again by witness in
the most positive terms.
Senator Borah took Haywood in
hand for cross examinations Of the
workings of the Western Federation of
Miners, and its policy and attitude
towards employers Of labor. Borah
announced that he would conclude the
cross-examination today.
Federation and Steunenberg.
"The Western Federation of Miners
came to think of steunenberg as
pronounced opponent OF organized Ia
bor?" asked Borah.
II believe so; yes, sir"
"But prior to the Cour d'Alenes trou-
BILE he was regarded as friend?"
Il think 50; he at one time was an
honorary member OF the local un-
SON"
THE union afterwards regarded him
as friend Of capital and swayed by
the capitalists, and suppose you
Joined in this view?"
''Yes, sir, as an officer did"
Ibid the Miners Magazine reflect
your views as we'll as those of the or
ganization 2"
Sometimes. I did not approve OF
the bull pen," of the permit system,
OF the indignities upon men, but as to
Steunenberg, I did not regard him in
any other light than do you, sena-
tor, or Bartlett Sinclair, or any others
who were concerned"
II have understood that" replied
Borah, who then questioned the wit
ness as to an article which appeared
In the Miners Magazine at the time
Steunenberg left Office, entitled When
the passing of Steunenberg's epitah
ehould come to be written it would
lead: "Here lies a hireling and
traitor"'
did that article reflect your views
and those OF the federation?" -.
"As to the governors official acts it
did" replied Haywood, who added the
article was directed against Stuenen-
berg as a state official not as man.
There were many others who felt
the same way about Steunenberg."
witness went on. "The lieutenant gov
ernor who served under Steunenheyg
wrote an article which was much
stronger than this"
