Here With Me Today"
Denver-William d. Haywood ar
rived in Denver Sunday night, one
year. i've months and eighteen days
since he left here to go to Boise to
face a charge Of conspiracy to murder
Governor Steunenberg.
No one saw him start for Boise.
Thousands cheered him on his re-
turn.
All day. on the journey through Colo
RADIO. Haywood was greeted at the sta
tions by crowds who shouted them
selves hoarse and tried to drag him
from the train to make a speech.
Haywood's first care on arriving at
his home city was his wife. He carried
her tenderfy from the train, put her
into her invalids chair. and wheeled
her through the shouting crowd to a
waiting carriage Mrs. Haywood was
pale but smiling. and seemed su-
premely happy at the reception given
her husband.
The crowd surged through the gates
at the union station and pressed up
close to the train. When Haywood ap-
peared with Mrs. Haywood in his arms
the crowd let loose, and men, women
and children yelled their greetings.
The crowd outside could not see Hay
wood but they knew he had arrived.
and the cheering swelled out and up
Seventeenth street.
From the station to the Albany the
streets were lined with crowds. and
long before and long after the carriage
Bearing Haywood passed, cheers were
given him.
Hello, Bill" was the usual saluta-
tion, and every time he heard 1t Hay
wood turned and smiled.
When the Albany was reached Hay
wood first carried his wife into the ho-
tel and put her in the elevator to be
taken to their rooms Then he returned
to the street and made speech to the
thousands who jammed about his car
riage.
1t was a homogeneous gathering of
people who received Haywood at the
union station.
There were fully 1000 people In the
crowd. which cheered, clapped hands,
shouted with all the force of their
lungs and laughed aloud from sheer
Joy. Well-dressed men and women
Joined in the pressing throng to grasp
Haywood by the hand. and in doing so
rubbed shoulders with plainly, even
shabbily-dressed men and women.
Even little children blended their
voices with the general shout when
Haywood first appeared between the
ranks OF the committeeman, who
cleared the way for the wheel chair
in which Mrs. Haywood was taken
from the train to the carriage.
Questions of all sorts and kinds were
asked right and left by men and
women, irrespective of whom they
might be addressing.
"Is he big man." What kind of
clothes does he wear?" rs his wife
coming with him?" do you suppose
he'll make a speech here near the sta
tion?" These were few of the queries
with which policemen and members of
the reception committee were deluged.
Ten minutes before Haywood's ar
rived at the Albany hotel big crowd
gathered there to greet him. A corps
of uniformed police in charge of Ser
geant Russell worked valiantly to keep
the multitude back and maintain
passage from the street to the entrance
of the building, but the eager, crush
ing throng would not be stilled.
When Haywood's carriage was seen
turning into Seventeenth street from
Glenarm street lookout on the edge
of the crowd shouted Here he comes."
and the shout was taken up by thou
sands.

and he went on.

Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. was
in the lobby, but made no attempt to
