EVIDENCE PRODUCED TO SHOW
WITNESSES FOR THE DE-
TENSE HAVE LIED.

T6NoE 51AvE LIEU
Or. !. 1. MCGEE 10 Arrested at Spo.
kane on Charge Of Perjury-con-
fession Of William Dewey Supports
That of Orchard.
Boise, Idaho, July 15.-The end Of
the trial of William D. Haywood, sec
rotary and treasurer Of the Western
Federation of Miners, charged with
conspiracy to murder and with muir
der, is now within measurable dis
lance. The case enters it's tenth
week of hearing Monday before Judge
Fremont Wood in the district court of
Ada county. Both sides have rested
and the rebuttal has commenced.
Haywood Witness Arrested.
The rebuttal for the state so far is
being directed against the witnesses
produced by the defense to discredit
Orchard. At. the end of the first day
of rebuttal warrant was issued for
DR.. l. l.. McGee, who swore that he
saw Orchard in North Idaho at a time
when Orchard swore he was in Den
yer. MCGEE is a prominent man living
In the northern part of the state.
Counsel for the defense, as soon as
they heard Of the warrant having
been issued, sent a telegram to Nc
Gee, in which, according to Clarence
barrow, one of Haywoods counsel,
they urged him to come to Boise at
once. He was arrested at Spokane.
Another Crime Confesser.
The most novel feature of the
case is the confession of the witness,
William Dewey, who Saturday swore
that he participated in the riots in the
Occur d'Alenes when two men were
killed. In making this confession
Dewey laid himself open to arrest.
Counsel for the state express the
opinion that Dewey will not be prose
cuted.
Among the men now in Boise as wit
nesses for the defense is W. A. Davis,
who was indicted by the grand jury
Of ShOshone county as leader in the
same riot. He has been in the state
Of Idaho for 80 days and no effort has
been made to act on the Indictment
Haywood Is Cross-Examined.
Boise, Idaho, July 13.-William D.
Haywood, the defendant charged with
the murder of Frank Steunenberg, left
the witness chair Friday afternoon.
He had been under examination six
hours, the time being equally divided
between his own counsel and Senator
Borah, who conducted the cross-exam-
nation.
There is prospect now that the
case may be brought to a conclusion
within two weeks. The state expects
to close the rebuttal by Wednesday or
Thursday next. The defense express
the opinion that the sur-rebuttal will
be in by Saturday. Under these cir
cumstances the case will be given to
the jury by the end of the last week
of this month. ...-..
Admits knowledge of Orchard.
Much of Haywood's testimony Fri
day was repetition in detail of what
Meyer said Thursday. Haywood, how
ever, made no effort to deny his knowl-
edge of Orchard and his affairs or his
connection with Simpkins He was
pressed closely as to the passage of
kilograms relating to the engagement
of counsel to defend Orchard, and in
this connection admitted that he knew
Simpkins had retained counsel, but
that there was no record of any report
from Simpkins to the officials of the
Western Federation. Like Meyer,
Haywood had never heard Orchard
make threats against Steunenberg,
though he had heard Of Orchards
claim that he had lost his interest
in the Hercules mine because of the
troubles in the Occur d'Alenes.
Haywood explained the draft sent
to Simpkins for 500 on December 21,
1905, on the ground that Simpkins
had left the money with him for safe
keeping. He had no acknowledgment
of the receipt Of the money and had
not heard from Simpkins since that
time. Haywood said he never told
Pettibone that he had sent any money
Mr.. barrow said it was doubtful if
the defense would attempt to explain
the copy of the letter received by
Orchard while he was in Jail in Cald-
well, in which he said, "That it was
sent on December H." In his testi-
mony Orchard said that this letter
was in reply to one from him to Pet
tibone asking for $100.
Flat DeniaIs of Crime.
Haywood in many particulars con-
frmed Orchard, but where Orchard
connected Haywood or the Western
Federation with crime the witness was
very emphatic and prompt in his de-
malls. He showed no hesitation or de-
sire to conceal the fact that Orchard
had visited him at his house or that
he on different occasions had intimate
conversations with Orchard.
