 Did other People.

Roise. Idaho. July 12-W. D. Hays. wood. the defendant charged with tho murder of Frank Steunenberg. left the witness chair this afternoon. He had been under examination six hours, the time being equally divided between hts own counsel and Senator Borah. who conducted the cross examination. Haywood's testimony in his own be. | half practically closes the side Of tho defense. One witness will be called tomrrow morning and his examination will take up about fifteen minutes. Counsel for the defense will then an. nounce their close and the State will begin the rebuttal. unless motions to strike out certain parts Of the ovt. dence should be brought forward bx the defense. Counsel for the state an. nounce their willingness to abide by the instructions of the court to the jury. and will not occupy the time with the arguments on motions to strike out.
 There Is Q prospect now that the case may be brought to . conclusion, within two weeks. The State expects to close the rebuttal by Wednesday or Thursday next. The defense express- l ed the opinion that the sur-rebuttal will be in by Saturday. Under these circumstances the case will be given | to the jury by the end of the last week of this month.

Once when Senate, -.. pressed Haywood as to his ts -.tis- sH toward former Governor Stet Haywood said quietly and wa' smile. T felt no different -oa Steunenberg, Senator. than 5ee t'. wards you or any other of ple." rs, Senator Borah looked up quickly. but he did not smile. He said very quietly. Yes. l have been given to understand something of that sort." and did not pursue the subject. Much of Haywood's testimony today was a repetition in detail of what Mover said yesterday. Haywood. how. ever. made no effort to deny his knowl- edge of Orchard and his affairs or hia connection with Simpkins. He .waa pressed closely as to the passage of telegrams 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 West ern Federation. Like Mover. 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 Couer d'Alenes. Haywood explained the draft sent to Simpkins for $100 on Decem- Der 21, 1905. on the ground that Simp- kins left the money with him for safe keeping. Simpkins had not acknowl- edged the receipt of the money and Haywood had not heard from Simpkina since that time. tH
 Haywood in many particulars cons firmed Orchard. but where Orchard connected Haywood or the Western Federation with crime. the witness was very emphatic and prompt in his de- nials. He showed no hesitation or de. sire to conceal the fact that Orchard had visited at his house or that he on different occasions had intimate con- versations with Orchard. He de- nounced the administration of Colo- rado at the time of the troubles as corrupt and he extolled the value of the Western Federation.
 Predicate is Laid.
 iolx Inn of A~S. witnesses in the Haywood trial, was recalled by the State when the case opened this morning at 9 o'clock. He was asked as to a conversation he had with Daniel Ganey at Mullen. Idaho. in 1899. The questions were evidently for the purpose of impeachment. After Finn left the stand Haywood was re- called and the direct examination was continued.
 Testifying in his own behalf in tho Steunenberg murder trial this morn- ing. William D. Haywood denied that he had any concern in any knowl- edge of a plot to kill steunenberg
 Speaking slowly and emphatically. Haywood said:
 T don't think l even thought of Steunenberg after I left Idaho in ls0i."
 Haywood said that Orchard had been at his house three or four times Most of the members of the uniop. when they were in Denver, called at his home, the witness declared.
 Did you ever call on Orchard?" ask ! ed Mir Darrow.
 No, sir: never"
 Did you ever have anything to do with buying a horse and buggy for Orchard to go out on killing expedt- tions with?"
 No, sir; never"
 Haywood said Orchard came one day to headquarters in buggy with a ne- gro man and said George Pettibone wanted to know If he could trade the rig for a gray mare which the Federal tion owned-one of the nineteen horses which had been used in distributing rec lief in the Cripple Creek district. Pet tibone was anxious to get the marc for one of his delivery wagons.
 Didn't Plan Bell Killing.
