Spectators Attracted by Trial.

William D. Haywood, secretary and
treasurer of the Western Federation
of Miners, will on Thursday be placed
on trial charged with the murder Of
eX, Governor Frank Steunenberg Of

In all, four men are in custody

Federation of Miners; George A Petit
Tone, a former member of the execG
tive board of the same organization
and Harry Orchard, a member Of the
federation. OF these men, Orchard, i
is alleged, has made a confession ia
which he admits that he killed the
former governor and in the same con
fession, it is alleged, duplicates thu
other men under arrest, together with
others, as being accessories before the
fact. Under the law of the state Of
Idaho, while it is admitted that Hay
wood, Meyer and Pettibone were not

JAMuARY wAs a eoLp MAN.
Lived Seven Years Near Prison Where
He Escaped.

The astounding fact has developed
that Villa January, the American
Jean Vatican, now awaiting the prom
ised executive pardon, resided for
seven years within 20 miles of the
.Leavenworth (Kansas) prison. from
which he escaped nine years ago, and
to which he has just been returned.
January escaped in the night with
a fellow convict while a guard was
asleep. He beat his way on freight
train to Wichita. He secured employ
ment in stone quarry at Winfield.
where he remained until the death Of
his companion three months later. He
was a drummer through Oklahoma,
Kansas and Missouri for a coffee
house, took up the insurance business
in Kansas City, then peddled coffee on
his own hook and finally settled dowr
in the restaurant business in the lat
ter city, after being employed for a
while on the Metropolitan street rail-
way.
Although operating under the eyes
of the prison authorities, working on a
street railway that carried them and
conducting a restaurant business at
the junction of this line and the cleo
trio line to Leavenworth, which was
used by the prison officials, he was
never recognized until the ether day,
when fellow convict spotted him and
informed the authorities in order to
collect The standing reward offered by
the government for ESCAPED prisoners.
The papers in Januarys case are
ready for the signature of the attor-
ley general.
