DENIAL
DEFENDANT ON WITNESS STAND
IN HIS OWN BEHALF.
GIVES LIE TO CHARGES
Says He Never Made Threat Against
Steunenberfl and Never -Gave
" Any Meney fm'
. Orchard.
Boise Idaho. William D. Haywood
took oath Thursday,' a witness in bis
own defense, and in a lengthy narra
tive of his life and his work as a
leader of his fellow miners, that was
interrupted by adjournment, denied
guilt of the murder of Frank Steunen
berg and the manifold crimes charged
against him by Harry Orchard.
Haywood was pale and trembled
with 'nervousness when he left the
table of his counsel and walked
around to the elevated witness stand,
where he faced the judge and jury
and raised his right hand to be sworn.
When he began to respond to Clarence
Barrow's questions his voice was low
and somewhat uncertain, but he soon
regained his composure.
As he told of his boyhood that be
gan with tofl at the age of nine aad
gave the history of his family his in
valid wife, who sat just to the left of
the witness stand, began sobbing soft
ly. Her mother-in-law aad her nurse
soon comforted her, however, and dur
ing the rest of the afternoon she and
the rest of .Haywood's kinsfolk re
mained quiet bat deeply concerned
auditors.
Haywood's testimony was chiefly
characterized by positive denials of
the allegations made against him by
the prosecution. He denied that he
met Orchard until some time after the
Vindicator explosion; denied that he
sent Orchard back to Cripple Creek to
blow up the Independence station; de
nied participation in the Lyte Greg
ory murder, and denied suggesting or
discussing the Steunenberg murder.
He swore that he never gave Orchard
any money at any time or place for
any purpose.
He declared that he never made a
threat against Steunenberg. whom he
said he regarded only as he did any
politician who was being swayed by
capitalistic influence. He told of a
number of occasions when he met Or
chard in Denver in the ordinary
course of his relations with the fed
eration and George A. Pettibone. and
said he saw Orchard for the last time
in August. 1905. when Orchard told
him he was going to Alaska, and Hay
wood said he chided him for deserting
his wife at Cripple Creek. The direct
examination had not reached the con
nection of Jack Simpkins and the ac
tion of the federation after Steunen
berg was murdered when adjournment
interrupted it
Borah Crosn-Examines Moyer.
The state completed the cross-examination
of Charles H. Moyer at
noon, and in dealing with his testi
mony directed its strongest attack
against the circumstances under
which the federation, at the sugges
tion of Jack Simpkins. came to the
relief of Orchard when he was arrest
ed for killing Steunenberg.
Senator Borah, who conducted the
examination, emphasized the connec
tion of Jack Simpkins and the federa
tion and the fact that the federation,
without inquiry as to the guilt or in
nocence of Orchard, gave $1,500 from
its treasury to provide for his defense.
He also developed the fact that the
federation is providing for the de
fense of Steve Adams, who is charged
with killing two claim-jumpers at the
instigation of Jack Simpkins.
Moyer denied knowing anything
about the $100 that Haywood sent
to Jack Simpkins a few days before
Steunenberg was assassinated, which
is traced to Orchard by an unsigned
note he got at Caldwell jail and a
coincidence of dates.
Haywood Ends Testimony.
Boise. Idaho. William D. Haywood,
the defendant charged with the mur
der of Frank Steunenberg, left the
witness chair after he had been un
der examination six hours, the time

and her son sat in stolid composure,
