| to lead a good, true and honest life
after the present ordeal is passed. y
| This statement was made by Mrs.
| Frank Steunenberg, widow of the for
mer governor of Idaho, who was kill
ed by a bomb planted by Orchard at
| the gateway of his home in Caldwell.
Mrs. Steunenberg is attending the an
| nual camp meeting and conference
of the Seventh Day Adventists at Col

Walla. She seems to be above hatred
of the man who killed her husband,
and her conversation indicates that
sne has forgiven aim
AS to Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone she expressed no opinion, say
ing she had not thought of their con
nection with the case. She is leading
secluded life, spending most of her
time reading the Bible and other re
ligious works. She said yesterday:
The trial of Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone is the commencement of a
national struggle between the L. S.
government and organized labor, and
wills eventually lead to rebellion
When the Couer D'Alene trouble
arose Mr.. Steu1enberg was greatly
worried and after he made the final
stand he told me he thought it would
cost him his life. The thought that
his life was at stake, however, did
not influence him in the least in do
ing what he thought right. After COM
pleting his term as governor ne never
believed that his life was in danger,
and l had practically forgotten the
ordeal through which he had passed
and | believed that he had. His assas-
sination was too terrible to speak
about"

Max Malich, a prominent politician
and labor union man of Globeville |
says Orchard told him that he killed |
Steunelberg because the latter pre-
vented him from becoming a million |
