The Colorado State Federation of
Labor, at its meeting on Sunday
proceeded to denounce William d.

terances and his plan of direct

troubles.

placed himself alongside Emma

We do not imagine that Hay

that dynamite will settle labor

that by threats OF ills character
and by a blow-up occasionally when
1t can be done In secret and with

can produce a reign OF terror and
compel capital to yield to bis de-
manda
But fortunately this 10 q country
in which the reign Of Law has not
yet given place to the rule OF the

inefficiently administered. and
though injustioes may exist. yet
even Haywood knows that It II in-

II Is many years since Bill Hay
wood has done q stroke OF real
work. His present Job. and for
many years past. has been to draw

workers. He makes money BY
agitation. either direct from men
who do honest work for living
or by means of lecturinE. The only
way In which he can continue to
get these easy dollars is by keep
ing himself In the limelight and
fomenting trouble.
On the whole. his Cooper Union
speech served a good purpose. for

abled all honest. lawabdding work

earmarks OF hysteria.
Mr.. Bumps argued that inasmuch
as DIR. Boyajian was acknowledged by
the witness to have had one genuine
epileptic nt, the defendant was, there
fore. an epileptic, but DR.. Hitchcock
wouldn't allow that the conclusion OF
the defense was correct.
Mr.. Bumps then went into the col
lege career OF DR.. Hitchcock, and
drew from him an admission to the
effect that he got his diploma after
twelve months study In the Detroit
College OF Medicine. the course at the
time he studied being one year, with
two six-month terms. The doctor ex-
planned that he had since that time
been employed in one department. the
epileptic ward. OF the Pontiac asylum.
The doctor said he took post
graduate course In America and
abroad, In mental and nervous dis
eases. after quitting the Pontiac asy-
lum. some years ago. but engaged In
general practice until last fall. when
he decided to devote all his time TO
mental and nervous diseases, making
such afflictions specially.
The prosecutor. after the defense
was through with DR.. Hitchcock, ask
ed the latter II he were still OF the
opinion that DR.. Boyajlan was
rational. responsible for his actions
and sane at the time he shot Cos
tanian. Dr. Hitchcock made an af-
firmative reply.
DR.. A. w. Ives, alienst for the
prosecution, was the next witness. He
Is a professor In mental and nervous
diseases In the Detroit College of
Medicine and said he met and became
acquainted with DR.. Boyajian while
the latter was a student In the col
lege. The witness said he observed
Dr. Boyajian closely.
Asked II he saw DR.. Boyajian on the
morning OF the shooting. DR.. Ives said
he saw him In the police court and
shook hands with him. He noticed
nothing out OF the ordinary in con-
nection with the doctors appearance
or manner. Later he said he saw the
doctor in the county jail, the physi'
clan having sent for him in the hope
OF getting him TO lend helping hand.
DR.. Ives said that Dr. Boyajian cried
and made expressions TO the effect
that his home. wife and child. were
ruined The witness said he mention
ed the tragedy to the Doctor. and that
the latter said he remembered moth
ing about IL.
Assistant Prosecutor Jasnowski
then read to DR.. Ives the hypotheti-
cal question OF the prosecution. re-
viewing the defendants life history,
the circumstances leading up to the
shooting OF Gostanian and the doc
tors actions following the tragedy.
DR. Ives answered that he believed
BoyaJian rational, capable OF control
ing his actions and sane at the time
of the shooting. He gave similar an
swers in response TO the hypothetical
question framed by the defense.
