Boise, Idaho, July Recommending
the seventh day of the direct ex.
animation of witnesses this morning
the defense in the trial of William d.
Haywood bids fair to exceed by sew
eral days its promise to close within
eight days after the opening speech.
The foundation laid by the testimony
OF former stenographer of the Pin
kerton detective agency who to use
his own words gave back to the
rightful owners" the secrets intrusted
to him by his employers, will be used
today, and on 1t will be built the struc-
ture by which the defense hopes to
convince the jury and public that there
has been a widespread conspiracy to
wreck the Western Federation and
convict its officers of murder.
The defense today continued the
Colorado story in which Orchard told
of the proposal to blow up the Union
boarding house at Globeville just out
side of Denver In this he incrimi-
mated a number of people, including
Max Malich, who is expected to be one
of the witnesses this afternoon. The
swore he discussed with David Coates.
former lieutenant governor of Colo
RADIO, and at that time a newspaper
publisher at Wallace on the subject of
kidnapping one of August Paulson's S
children may also be taken up before
night. Mr.. Coates who has been here
for several weeks has given out sew
eral interviews in which he had denied
Orchards story absolutely and prom
ised to develope some new features in
the case.
Boise, July 2.-In the Haywood trial
today Max Mallich of Denver swore
positively that Orchards story IS false
in stating that he helped Orchard
steal powder from the Union Pacific
and in saying that Mallich suggested
blowing up of non-union men. All
suggestions for criminal acts were
made by Orchard and the witness de-
lounced Orchard for making them and
threatened him, whereupon Orchard
or Hogan, as he was then called, said
he was only joking.
Boise, July 3.-This morning the
cross-examination OF Eugene Engley
formerly attorney general for Colo
RADIO under Gov. Waite was continued
from yesterday afternoon. The de
fense continues to center its efforts
on the conditions existing in Colorado
at the time OF the Cripple Creek strike
for the purpose of showing there was
no need for calling out the militia
and that the Western Federation oi
Miners, which, up to that time had
conducted peaceful campaign against
the mine owners was made responsible
for a number of outrages by the mill
tary and the "gun men" employed by
the mine owners and the citizens
alliance. General EAgley has already
testimony that the Citizens Alliance
was made Up of leading citizens o
Cripple Creek and that the mine own
ers constitute very small part o
the community. He Is an avowed so
cialist of the pronounced type. Hi
evidence SO far has been interesting
as frank svowal OF his interest II
the doctrines Of socialism and tn,
Western Federation OF Miners as al
actual sympathizer and because h
was employed as counsel in a numbe
OF cases for the federation.
