1t is to be hoped that the visit Of
the president to Memphis will result
in arousing his interest in the purpose
of the convention-to create a navi-
gable waterway 1880 miles long from
Chicago to New Orleans, providing a
14-foot stage the year around. The
first 40-mile section Of the Chicago
drainage canal has been practically
completed at cost Of $50, 900 900, and
plans have been made for second d.
visions from Joliet to st. Louis. The

THE HAYWOOD TRIAL.

When the state closed its case
against William ID. Haywood, charged
with the murder of Frank Steunen-
berg, the defense made an unsuccess-
full attempt to secure from the court
an order directing the jury to acquit
the prisoner. Judge Woods ruling
requires the defense to meet with evil
dende the case that the state has pre-
scented.
The state in the Haywood trial
again showed direct connection be-
tween Petitioners store and Orchard
when he was at work on the Bradley
crime, and read 10 the jury denunci-
atory articles on Steunenberg from
the Miners Magazine.
The state in the trial at Boise,
Idaho, made dramatic production and
proof of the Goddard bomb, and be-
sides offering further contributions OF
the testimony of Harry Orchard
against William d. Haywood, secured
a ruling under which a number of the
denunciatory articles published in the
Miners Magazine, official organ of the
Western Federation of Miners, will be
admitted in evidence.
The prosecution in the Steunen-
berg murder trial offered one of the
most important pieces of evidence
against William ID. Haywood when, re-
calling Harry Orchard for redirect
examination. it introduced and Sc
cured the admission of four letters
tending to show that Haywood, during
the fall of 1905, when Orchard swears
he was engaged on various crimes for
the federation leaders, had partici-
pated in a plan to deceive Mrs. Or
chard the second, C. Cripple Creek,
as to the whereabouts of her hus'
band.

ORCHARDS STORY.
The Defense Of Haywood, charSsd
With Murder of Idahos Governor.


The closing of the case of the state
leaves the battle against and for the
life of William ID. Haywood in midfield
and from now forward the sides
change-the defense assumes the ag-
gressive, the prosecution is on the de-
fensive. The state will carry its case
on through an aggressive cross-exam-
nation and then present testimony in
rebuttal but its main proposition and
showing are already before the jury.
Orchard has been traced through all
Of the more important movements con-
nected with the alleged attempt on
the life of Fred Bradley in San Fran
cisco by independent witnesses, and
his story of the poisoned milk has
been carried down to the chemist who
analysed It. 1t has been independent
ly shown that while Orchard was in
San Francisco, Pettibone, using false
names, telegraphed money to him
twice, and that a registered letter or
package was sent to San Francisco
from Petitioners Denver address under
a name used by Pettibone in sending
one of the telegraphic remittances.
Other than by Orchards word 1t has
not been shown that the Bradley ex-
plosion was caused by bomb.
Orchards story or his journey to
Canyon City to kill former Gov. Pea
body is given general confirmation by
the testimony of VIM. Vaughan, who
was Orchards travelling companion.
Orchard went to Canyon City ostensi-
bly, as an insurance agent, and the
state has produced a letter of recon-
mendation written TO the insurance
company for him by Pettibone.
Orchards testimony as to the indie
pendence station outrage and the MUIR
der of Detective Lyle Gregory stand
alone.
The chief confederation or Orchards
testimony has been as TO things he
did and the time and manner of their
dong. and it is contended by the de-
tense that aside from mis- testimony
there is not a single piece of indepen-
dent evidence against Haywood or any
fact that independently connects Hay
wood with the crime charged or any
other crime.
