MARSHALL COUNTY FAIR AT WARREN MINNESOTA AUGUST 34 1907

majority of the men seemed con-
vinced that the general tone of the
courts instructions indicated that the
defendant should be freed. Finley Nc.
Bean, who voted consistently for ac-
quittal from the first, declared that
the judges instructions seemed to set
tie all doubt as to the course he should
take
Juror Samuel F. Russell, the senior
member of the panel, said: There
was nothing against Haywood but sus-
picion and inference, and when we
came to dotetail the evidence in the
juryroom it did not seem to fit."

have expressed Saturday the same be-
lief 1 expressed when first arrested,
that is, with fair trial and an Impair
tial jury the verdict would be such
as has been given to the country.
Senator Borah treated me most
fairly, and 1 appreciate it.
Judge Wood was eminently fair
to me, and l have extended to him my
thanks for his treatment of me during
the ordeal OF. this trial.

Gooding for the position he took.

Spends Night with Family.
Haywood spent Sunday night quietly
at the house in Boise where his family
has been living since the trial com

the released man received congratula

union. Haywood will remain here
some days before returning to Denver
to take up his work. John Murphy
the general counsel for the Western
Federation of Miners, who is dying OF
consumption here, is great friend OF
Haywood and arrangements are now
being made to take him back to Den
yer, if possible, before his death. Hay
wood will probably accompany him.
Boise has accepted the verdict quiet

in evidence since the trial commenced

termination to leave the decision will
judge and jury in the Haywood case

The decision of the state to continue
the prosecution of the men now unde
arrest and the statement that Jacl
Simpkins, the fugitive from justice, in
dicted with them, is almost within tn
reach of the law and may be ARRESTED
at any time, came as surprise t.

ly expected that Meyer and Pettibon
| would be released,
