Boise, Id., July 13. William D.
Haywood took oath Thursday, u wit
noss in his own defense, nnd In a
lengthy narratlvo of his life and his
work aH a leador of his follow minors
that was interrupted by adjournment
denied guilt of the muni or of Frank
Steunonberg and tho manifold crimes
charged against him by Harry Or
chard Haywood's testimony was chlofly
characterized by positive denials of
tho allegations .made against him by
tho prosecution. Ho donled that ha
met Orchard until some time aftor
tho Vindicator oxploslon, denied that
ho sont Orchard back to Cripplo
Crook to blow up tho Independonco
station. Ho denied any participation
in tho Lyto Qrogory murdor, and also
donled suggesting or discussing tho
Stounonborg murder. Ho swore
that ho novor gnvo Orchard any
money at any timo or pluco for any
purpose. He declared that ho novor
made n tureat against Steunonberg,
whom ho said he regarded only as
he did any politician who was being
swayed by capitalistic Influence. Ho
told of a number of occasions when
he met Orchard In Denver in tho
ordinary course of his relations with
the federation and George A. Petti
bone, and said he saw Orchard for
the last time in August, 1905, when
Orchard told him he was going to
Alaska, and Haywood said ho chlded
him for deserting his wife at Cripplo
Creek.
The htate completed the cross-examination
of Charles H. Moyer at
noon nnd In dealing with his testi
mony directed Its btrongost attack
ngalnst the circumstances under
which tho federation at the sugges
tion of Jack Slmpklns came to tho
relief of Orchard when he was arrest
ed for killing Steunenborg.
Senator Borah, who conducted tho
examination, emphasized the connec
tion of Jack Slmpklns and the fed
eration and the fact that tho federa
tion without Inquiry as to the guilt
or Innocence of Orchard gave $1,500
from its treasury to provide for his
defense. He also developed tho fact
that -tho federation is providing for
tho defense of Steve Adams, who is
charged with killing two claim Jump
ers at -the Instigation of Jack Slmp
klns. Moyer denied knowing any
thing about the $100 that Haywood
sont to Jack Slmpklns a few days
beforo Steunonberg was assassinated
ard which Is traced to Orchard by an
unsigned note ho got at Caldwell Jail
and a coincidence of dates.
The cress examination of Haywood
commenced Friday morning nn hour
after the opening of court. By this
time every seat was taken. Tho an
nouncement that Senator I3orah would
cross examine brought out an unus
ually large attendance. It was quite
evident that the spectators were not
alone In their expectations of some
thing Interesting. When Clarence
Darrow, Haywoods counsel, closed tho
direct examination of his client and
quietly remarked: "You may cross
examine," thp prisoner-witness turned
In his seat and faged Mr. Borah, his
face pale and JawH firm set. Thoro
was a stir in the court rcom and then
an absolute silence. Tho first ques
tions and answers came In such sub
dued tones that Mr. Richardson of
Haywood's counsel asked tho witness
to speak out. Borah's cross examina
tion, always rapid-fire, was more than
usually quick, but from first to last
Haywood preserved complete self pos
session and control. At times his re
plies camo as quickly as tho questions
were flung at him. Again he would
hesitate and speak slowly with a
marked emphasis. His voice low and
musical, was Bcldom radical except
once or twice when a flat denial was
given. Borah's manner was courteous
throughout but now and then n tinge
of sarcasm oc stolcness appeared as
ho Insisted on a direct answer nnd
Haywood appeared reluctant. Hay
wood in turn was as courteous as tho
cross examiner. Invariably ho ad
dressed Borah as "Senator" and re
peatedly asked permission to explain
whon Ijo thought there might be some
misunderstanding. Notwithstanding
this subdued air of consideration, of
quiet and speech and courteous bear
ing there wns not a moment through
out the three hours of cross examina
tion that the atmosphoro did not tin
glo with pcnslbilltles. Onco when'
Senator Borah pressed Haywood as
to his sentiment toward Governor
Steunonberg, Haywood said quietly
and with a smllo "I felt no dlfferont
towards Steunenborg, Senator, than I
do towards you, or any of those peo
ple" Senator Borah looked up quickly,
but he did not smllo. Ho said very
quietly, "Yes, I have been given to
understand somothlng of that sort,"
and did not pursue tho subject.

for Its Dissolution.

Receiver Appointed Criminal
Prosecutions Probable.

Wednesday filed in the United
States circuit court in this city a
petition against the American To
bacco company, tho Imperial Tobac
co company, the British-American
Tobacco company, the American
Snuff company, tho American Cigar
company, the United Cigar Stores
company, tho American Stogio com
pany, nnd Co other corporations and
29 individuals connected with tho
named companies. These corpora
tions and individuals constitute what
is generally known as the "Tobacco
trust" and the petition directed
against thorn sets forth the purpose
of tho goyornment to dissolve this
trust by breaking up tho agreements
under which the consolidated con
corns are working. In showing the
growth of th0 "trust" sinco Its or
ganization in 1890, the conclusion is
reached that at an early day, unless
prevented, It would completely mo
nopolize the entire tobacco Industry.
James C. Reynolds, the special as
sistant attorney genoral appointed to
prosecute the so-called tobacco trust
declared Wednesday after filing the
compiaint In tho caso that tho ques
tion whether ho would urge tho court
to appoint a receiver foV the various
companies would depend entirely upon
the evidence secured from witnesses
summoned. He said also that crimin
al prosecution of tho defendants nam
ed in the complaint 1b highly probable
and that tho Shorman law, under
which this notion is brought makes a
conspiracy In restraint of trade a crim
inal offense.
