Much of Haywoods testimony to
day was a repetition in deai of what
Meyer said yesterday. Haywood
however, made no effort to deny his
knowledge OF Orchard and his affairs
or his connection with Simpkins
When pressed closely as to the pas
sage Of telegrams relating to the en-
gagement OF counsel to defend Har
nv Orchard, he admitted that he knew
Simpkins had retained counsel bu
that there was no record OF any re
port from Sinpkins to the officials OF
the Western Federation OF Miners
like Meyer, Haywood had never
heard of Orchards threats against
Stcunenberg, though he had heard Of
Oryhard's claim that he had lost his
interest in The Hercules Mine because
of the troubles in COeur DAlenes |
Haywood explained that draft had |
been sent to Simpllins for 500 on De
cember 81, 1905, on the ground that |
Simpkins had left the money with |
the federation for safe-keeping. Te I
had no acknowledgment of the re |
ceipt of the money and had not heard |
from Simpfins since that time. Hay
wood said that he never told Pettibone
that he had sent any money to Simp |
kins
Haywood in many particulars con
firmed Orchards story, but where
Orchard connected Haywood or the
Western Federation with crimes, the
witness was very emphatic and
prompt in his denials. He showed no
hesitation or desire to conceal the
TACT that Orchard had visited him at
his house or that he, on different oc
had intimate conversations
with Orchard. He denounced the adj
of Colorado at the time
If Colorado at the time of the troubles
IS corrupt and he extolled the value
If the Western celebration. Through
nut Haywood rang the notes of antag-
'nism to what he calls the captalistic
lass and his confirmed view that by
,uch methods only as those followed
~ the Western Federation, can work
ngmen hope to control the situation. (
