The Verdict of AcQuittal in the Hay
wood Case.

The trial Of Haywood at Boise,
Idaho, which has attracted the at
tention of the whole country for
several weeks, resulted in verdict
of acquital last Sun day morning;
and the result furnishes an addi-
tional proof of the good horse sense
and justice of farmer jury.
Orchard murdered Governor STEM
nenburg of Idaho, and, according to
the story told by him on the wit
ness stand, he has been butcherer
of his fellowmen for paltry, person.
al gain.
Largely, if not entirely, upon the
statements of this self confessed
plotter and wholesale murderer, the
officers of the Western Federation
Of Miners, who are residents of Col
orado, were indicted by an idaho
grand jury and then Kidnapped and
taken 1900 miles from their homes
for trial before jury composed Of
friends Of the murdered governor.
This lawlees act on the part Of
the Idaho authorities furnished
some ground for the belief
entertained by many, that the mine
owners were trying to destroy the
Western Federation OF Miners by
connecting their officers with Or
chard's numerous crimes.
The sheriff who had charge of the
drawing of the jury was under the
influence and direction of the Idaho
officers, and he excluded from the
jury lists all members of labor
unions and men who worked for
wages. This tended to further con-
firm the belief that the prosecution
of Haywood was an attack upon or
gained labor and organized labor
did not hesitate to accept the cha.
lenge.
Clarence barrow, one of the abltst
criminal lawyers Of Chicago, was
employ ed to assist in The defense OF
Haywood. barrow knew from long
experience that lie could safely trust
the life of his client to jury q
farmers. The business of farming
tends to make men Independent,
and their contact with nature and
her unerling laws enlarges their
desiles for justice and fair dealing.

agreement in the jury room was
reached just after daylight yesterday.
Haywood came into court palpably
nervous, but said he was feeling

Haywood Free Man Again.
The prisoners attorneys jumped to
their feet and slapped Haywood on the
back and all tried to grasp his hands
at once. Judge Wood Immediately. or.
,lered Haywood's discharge. The jury
stood deadlocked at 10 for acquittal to
for conviction most of the night, and
ballots We're taken at frequent inter.
walls. On the very first ballot taken
after the jury retired the vote was
8 for not guilty, for murder, and one
undecided. Then the undecided man

He had nothing to say and left ii

state counsel would comment on tn

The probability of verdict Of ac-
quittal in the case of the secretary

was regarded as strongly favoring the

dence and tile confederation of an a,
complete who collfesses. Among the
Jurors the judges charge was very ef-
fective, Samuel ID. Gilman, the last
man to be won over to the defense.
declared that Il majority of the men
seemed convinced that the general
tone of the courts instructions in
dicated that the defendant should lie
freed and this is co,rolorated by the
1emarks of others Of the Jury. Me-
Bean voted consistently for ;cuu.ttai

1t WAS also freely predicted that In
the event of Haywood's acquitial the.
state would abandon the prosecution
Of his associates, Meyer and Prttibane.
Statements from counsel and from
Governor Gooding dispcl this view vt
the situation. Governor Goodn. said:

ans, and of Simpkins when apprehend-
ed. There will be neither hesitation
nor retreat"
Not the least interesting of the COM

letin says that Third Officer Hawse

whose sworn report of the disaster

more cruel than that specified by him

against Hawse are:
Refusing to give his coat to an I'M
conscious woman rescued from the
water in freezing condition, his re-
mark being: My coat is my own"
Ordering sailor to strike crippled
