PLETE THEIR PLANS FOR

INTEREST ALL IN DEPENDENT
When the Accused Takes the Stand
He Will Be Prepared to Lay
Bare the Entire History Of
His Life.

HASt10
the final week of the defense, which
begins with the opening of court today
at 10 o'clock. Interest in the trial
at this time centers in the forthcom-
ing appearance upon the stand of Hay
wood, who, it is claimed, has been
the moving force in the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners for the past several
years and one of his co-defendants,
Charles H. Meyer, the president of
the miners federation. The third de
PENDANT in the famous case, George A.
Pettibone, will not take the stand, 1t
is said, until his case comes on
to be heard. Steve Adams, whose re-
cent trial for the murder of a man In
northern Idaho resulted in a disagree
ment of the jury and who has been
~variously implicated by Harry Or
chard in many of the latter's crimes
and alleged conspiracies with the lead
ers of the Western Federation, is
still in the Boise Jail available as a
witness for the defense, but it has
been definitely decided that he shall
uOI DC Cdllcu W luc SIdIu. Ii plOoC-
cution still claims it would welcome
such a move, as the appearance of
Adams on the stand might open the
way for the introduction of a portion,
at least, of the Adams repudiated con-
fession.
Trial May Last Three Weeks.
Viewed in the light of the closing
plans for defense and prosecution.
there seems to be little hope that the
trial, which has already been in prog
ress for W months, can be brought
to an end inside of three weeks. The
defense will require at least all Of
five or six days yet, for it is announced
that Haywood, when he takes the
stand, will be prepared to lay bare
his entire life's history.
His testimony as to his connection
with the Western Federation of Min
ers will be interspersed with much
documentary evidence and the intro
duction of this and reading of it to
the jury will take up much time. The
defense expresses it's willingness that
the cross-examination Of Haywood
shall take the widest possible range.
The defendant, it is said, will not
only deny in toto all that Orchard has
said as to his connection with any
of the witness crimes. but will offer
a perfectly plausible explanation of
the instances where the state has
associated Orchard and Haywood,
notably the instance of HaywoOd's
Mrs. Orchard as to the whereabouts
of her husband in the late summer
of 1905. Haywood will also be called
upon to explain the sending of sew
eral drafts to Jack Simpkins, a men,
Der of the executive board n an or
ganizer for the Western Federation,
whose presence in Caldwell with Or
chard just prior to the assassina-
ton of former Governor ~Steunenberg
has not been denied by the defense.
The attorneys for the federation say
that these payments were the regular
sums due Simpkins for his work as an
organizer and had absolutely nothing
to do with any crime or proposed
criminal act. The sending of SIS to
Steve Adams in Ogden, Utah, will also
be a subject of inquiry when Haywood
takes the stand.
Begin by Reading Dispositions.
Haywood's examination and cross
examination al hardly be accom-
complished in less than three or four
days. Meyer may be disposed OF in
one day. The week will begin today
with the reading of dispositions Sc
cured by the defense in San Francis
CO, ;contradicting Orchards claim that
he destroyed the Bradley house with
a dynamite bomb. With a supporting
affidavit from Bradley, the defense
will claim the explosion was due to
gas. Dynamite experts will be intro
duced to show that the explosion of
such a bomb as Orchard claims to
have placed on the Bradley porch
would have created far greater havoc
than was the case and that it would
have been impossible for Mr.. Bradley
himself to have escaped with only
the few bruises he received.
D~eportations Were Lawless Outrages.
The state may indefinitely prolong
the trial by going into the Colorado
labor troubles on rebuttal. The de-
tense has followed Orchard up the
field by introducing testimony as to
acts of the mine owners at Cripple
Creek and Telluride. The defense
claims that the calling out OF the
militia at Cripple Creek was un-
warranted and that the deportations
from Cripple Creek and the Telluride
country were nothing less than law
less outrages upon the persons and
property Of the union miners. The
state undoubtedly will introduce testi-
mony showing the conditions which
prevailed In these mining districts at
the time Governor Peabody proclaimed
martial law.
