alton of Miners in 1896. 1t was the |
first labor union he had ever been |
connected with. When asked about
Steunenberg he said he had never
known him personally nor seen him,
but was in Idaho when he was elected |
and knew he lived in Caldwell. Most |
examination was a reflection in detail |
of Haywoods testimony on direct |
of what Meyer had said. Haywood |
made no attempt to deny his knowl- |
edge of Orchard, except as they re-
lated to criminal matters. On cross
examination Mr.. Borah several times
confused the witness with his rapid
fire questions. especially when Mr..
Borah asked him in what light he re-
garding Ex-Governor Steunenberg and
he was finally led to admit that he
regarded Steunenberg as an enemy to
organized labor and that the malig-
nant articles in the Miners magazine
against Steunenberg reflected his own
sentiments las an official" He was
asked as to the phase Here lies a
hireling and traitor" taken from
the Miners Magazine and asked if
this reflected his sentiments. LAS
regarding him officially it Does" was
Haywood's reply.
The Simpkins draft Haywood ex-
planned by saying that when Jack
had received the money from the Fed
Grafton he came into his Office and
gave him 500 to keep for him as
Simpkins was afraid he might be held
up, he wanted Haywood to keep it
for him until about Christmas and
then sent it to him, which Haywood
said he did and this was how Hay
wood explained how he happened to
get draft just at the time he did.
He testified that the Western FEEDER
alton went on with Orchards defense
without making any Investigations as
to whether he was guilty or not, he
also stated the Federation hadalways
regarded Orchard as good, faithful
member in good standing. After
few questions on redirect eXamina-
ton Mr. Haywood's testimony was
) completed and the case of the defense
practically closed though Mr.. barrow
said they might have one witness
to put on if he arrived. He was an
expert on explosives. 1t developed,
though on Saturday when court con-
vened that the witness had not ar
rived and Attorney Richardson in a
loud voice and as dramatically as pos
sible, exclaimed, 1.-The defense rests.
