It states the, proeecutora believe they

PettJbone was an expert on explosives and

the crlmea.
.Arrest anal Estradltloa.
,On February 11 of lat.yeart Haywood.
Moyer and Pettlbone were arrested In
Colorado and Immediately brought to
Idaho. The -arrest vat made by Idaho 1
officers at the time the .murder was torn
nilttad. The governor of Colorado hon
ored the requisition" of the governor of ;
Idaho, but there wae net Judicial procaed-1
Ings In Colorado, a circumstance that led
t a long nd bitter cbntest. The'affl-i
davit charging that the men were In the'
tte of Idaho at the time of the murder'
being admittedly false In fact, though true
as a compliance with the letter and spirit ;
of the ktatute, according to the officers of!
the state, gave rise to widespread dlacua-j
alon as to the propriety' of the action , of
the-two states Involved." ' ' '
Than throughout the country went the
cry; that the three prisoners had been kid-!
naped In defiance ot . all constitutional
rtgbta. . This phase of the- qiwntton was
Utef tested, by mean of -writs of habeas
corpus and an appeal to the United States
supreme court, the result being a victory
fgr the elate of Idaho. ... ,
There . have .. been various .preliminary
legal proceeding In this cac In Idaho.'
and much delay due to, one cause or an- ,
other. The moat Important proceeding haa !
been a change, of venue taken recently
fr(?m Canyon county to Ada county on np-
p.lontlon of .the defense, on the ground of
prejudice.
Slaajr Lawyers Employed,
gpeclaj cqunsei for the atufe of. Idahe
and the. officials and detectlvee connected
' with the prosecutioo. . havo maintained al
ienee as.. o their cutse and l!ttle la known
publicly aa ' to Its features and details! j
Their progress will be contested at every (
puim uy un aicri group ot strong counsel
frtr the defense. It Is thought by many
lawyer that the fate of the case here and
Irj'the higher courts7 hinge on the admis
sion ot rejection of certain evidence. A
tpeclfle murder is charged and the confine
ment of th ' evidence to 'that crime may
exclude fnany- features' of the general con
"eplraey set up' in the atory. '
The defendants deny'thelr rrullt moat
pertlvely end In turn assert that-they
are the victims of a giant conspiracy aa
daring In conception and art as the one
alleged against ' them. Their attorneya
. have, withheld 'their plans, but it la gen
erally believed that while 'they -will ad
mit many Crimea they will hold that their
clients are guiltless, and will act u the
theory that the plot and Instigation came
frrtm thlr old enemies, the mine owner.
They will probably seek to show that
Orchard made hla ronfeaslon In the hope
that he would aave himself under promise
a Buckwheat Brown! . i
