HAYWOOD KNEW
ORCHARD WELL
In Many Particulars Corroborat-
ed Him But Denied Any Con-
neotion With His Crimes.
CLOSELY CROSS EXAMINED
Strongly Antagonistic TO Capitaiistlc
Classes and Strongly Favorable to
Federation Ways of Dealing.

Boise. Ida, July 2.-William y. Hay
wood. the defendant charged with the
murder OF Frank steuuenberg, left the
witness chair this afternoon. He had
been under examination six hours, the
tlme being equally divided between his
own counsel and Senator Borah, who
conducted tho REORGANIZATION. Hay
woods testimony in his own behalf
practically closes the side for the de-
Tense.
The cross-eSamination OF Haywood
commenced this morning within an
hour after the opening of court. By
this time every seat was taken The
announoem that senator Borah
would cross examine brought out an
unusually large attendance. 1t was
quite evident that the spectators were
not alone In their expectation of souie-
thing interesting. When Clarence Oar
row Haywoods counsel, closed the di-
rect examination OF his client and
quietly remarked. ''You may cross-eH-
anime the prisoner-NNitness turned in
his chair and faced Mr.. Borah. his face
pale and Jaws firm set. There was
stir in the courtroom and then an abso-
lutte silence.
Borahs s-examination, always
rapid-iire. was more than usually quick
today. but from first to last Haywood
preserved complete possession ana
control. At times his replies came as
quickly as the questions were flung
at him. Again he would hesitate and
speak slowly with marked emphasis.
His voice, low and musical, was seldom
raised except once or twice, when a nat
denial was given. Borah's manner was
courteous throughout, but now and then
q tinge OF sarcasm appeared as he ln-
sisted on direct answer and Haywood
appeared reluctant. Haywood in turn
was as courteous as the cross-examinSr.
Invariably he addressed Borah as
Senator and repeatedly asked per-
mission to explain when he thought
there might be some Misunderstanding.
Notwithstanding his subdued air OF
consideration, Of quiet speech ana
courteous bearing, there was not a mo-
ment throughout the three hours OF
cross-examinatlon that the atmosphere
did not Jingle with possibilities.
once when Senator Borah pressed
Hayward as to his sentiment toward
former Gov. Steunenberg. Haywood
said quietly and with a smile, Il felt
no different towards Steunenberg, SEN
Rtor, than | do towards you. or any OF
these people"
Senator Borah looked up quickly, hut
he did not smile. He said very quiet
~, Yes, / have been given to under
stand something Of that sort" and did
not pursue the subject.
Much of Haywood's testimony today
was a repetition In detail OF what
Meyer said yesterday. Haywood, how
ever, made no effort to deny his
knowledge of Orchard and his affairs
or his connection with Simpkins. He
was pressed closely as to the passage
of kilograms relating to the engage
ment of counsel to defend Orchard
and In this connection admitted that
he knew SimplSins had retained coun-
sci. but that there was no record of
any report from Simpkins TO the OFF,
Gals of The Western Federation.
Like Meyer, Haywood had never
heard Orchard make threats against
Steunenberg, though he had heard OF
Orchards claim that he had lost his
interest in the Hercules mine because
OF the troubles In the Couer d'Alenes.
Haywood explained the draft sent TO
Simpkins for 800 on Dec. 81, 1905
on the ground that Simpkins had left
the money with him for safe-keeping.
He had no acknowledgement of the
receipt of the money and has not
heard from SimplSins since that time
Haywood said he never told Pettlbone
that he had sent this money TO Slmp-
kins In his opening speech MIR. OAR
row said it was doubtful II the defense
would attempt to explain the copy OF
the letter received by Orchard While he
