HAYWOOD mot GUILTY.

The trial Of w. D. Haywood, Sec
rotary of the Western Federation
of Miners, at Boise, Idaho, ended
last Sunday morning with a verdict
of mot guilty. The verdict was
genuine surprise to most people,
not because they believed Haywood
guilty but because they believed
that the jury was strongly preju-
diced against the organization to
which the accused belongs. 1t was
not really a murder trial; it was a
desperate attempt of the mining
corporations to wreck the only
force that opposes them in he west
ern mining states. They have alb
solute control Of the government in
Idaho, as we'll as several other min
ing states, and they used that
power most unscrupulously to Sc
cure prejudiced jury. To be set
free by such jury was far great
err victory for Haywood than if he
had been freed by jury on which
there had been some representative
of the ranks where he belongs.
The only evidence against him was
furnished by Harry Orchard, a
man who by his own confession is
one of the most cold-blooded vii
lains that ever polluted the earth.
The sense CT justice in the jurymen
was strong enough to overcome
tn ,ir prejudices, and they refused
to convict man on the evidence
of such a wretch.
