A Return« of the Let« Important but
Not Lett Interesting Events
of the Past Week.
Boise, July 22.—James 11. Hawley,
leading counsel for the state of Idaho,
presenting the first of the arguments to
the jury in the case against William D.
Haywood, spoke for nearly eight hours,
distributed over three sessions of court.
Even when the forenoon sossion Satur
day had extended far beyond the cus
tomary time limit, every seat in the
courtroom was occupied and remained
so until the last word was spoken.
None listened more attentively to the
argument thuu Haywood, the defend
ant, and none showed less emotion.
From time to time be took copious
notes in a small book and frequently
made suggestions to one or other of bis
counsel, seven of whom were in court
today.
Throughout the day Mr. Hawley used
an almost conversational tone. The
analysis of testimony in contradiction
of Orchard’s story conclude«! frequently
with the denunciation of witness after
witness as a wilful perjurer or guilty of
unintentional falsehood.
When he
bad spoken five and a half hours, Mr.
Hawley reached Caldwell, where at the
close of the year 19J5 the prejiaratlons
for the murder of Steunenberg were
afoot. His voice now found a sympa
thetic note and, as he told of the last
moments of the ex-governor the court
room was hushed and the jury leaned
forward to catch the speaker’s every
word.
Mr. Hawley's peroration was impres
sive. There was no attempt at any
flight of oratory, but only u strong
note of deep sincerity and great ear
nestness wheu he pleaded for an iionest
judgment from honest men of Idaho.
Mr. Hawley said he did not charge
that a majority or even that many of
the Western Federation of Miners were
criminals, but that tire evil deeds of
the officers and of the scum of the or
ganization had brought discredit on
the rank and file. The time had in
deed come, he said, when right think
ing men should rise and make war upon
the evil influences that were the curse
of all labor organizations.
On the adjournment of court until
Monday morning, Mr. Hawley was
showered with congratulations.

Boise, Idaho, July 20.—The Held for
argument both for the prnaecutiou and
defense of William D. Haywood has
tieeii limited by Judge Wood, who in u
decision handed down yesterday remov
ed from consideration by the jury all
evidence tearing on the alleged conspir
acy by mineowners and others against
the Western Federation of Miner«.
Judge Wtaal decided that the defense of
Haywood had made no legal connection
of tire Mineowners’ association, the
Citizens’ alliance, of Colorado, nnd the
Pinkerton agency with the crimes as
laying a foundation for the evidence in
troduced by the defense to show that
the charge ugainst Haywood and Ids co-
defendants is the outcome of a conspir
acy to exterminate the Federation.
Immediately following the announce
ment of this decision, argument com
menced. J. H. Hawley, leading coun
sel for the state, spoke for two hours
and 15 minute*« of tire afternoon session,
the morning aeealen having been ad
journed to enable the judge to prepare
hia decision.
Counsel for the defense repeatedly
interrupted Mr. Hawley with protests
and objections, hut tiiese only seemed
to stir him to greater efforts.
Mr Hawley concluded with the state
ment that already lie had shown enough
to convict and that any juryman not
willing to convict on the evidence con
necting the conspirators with the blow
ing up of the Bunker Hill A Sullivan
concentrator in 1899 and the explosion
iaat the Vindicator mine in 1903 alone
"sought only to rid himself of an un-
pleaeant duty to his state."
Mr. ilaw uy will continue his argu
ment today.
Judge Wood lias notified counsel for
the defense that he expects argument
for their side to commence on Monday.

San Francisco, July 18.—The triul of
Lou la Glass for bribery reached u cru
cial stage yesterday, when the prosecu
tion made its first attempt to begin the
introduction of the testimony of 10 or
more supervisor« other than Buxton
that their vote« were bought by Theo
dore V. Halsey, aiding under direction
of Vice President Glass, of the Pueiflo
State« Telephone A Telegraph company.
Such testimony is celled "evidence of
similar offense«’’ and it is often admit
ted in criminal trials for the par pram
of showing corrupt intent on the part
of a defendant in tiie commission of
tiie act for which he i« l»eing tried.
Glass at tiie present time is being
tried for tiie bribery of Buxton; the
prosecution contends that it has the
right to lay before the jury the inference
of his guilt contained in the proof of
his having iirilssl other su|iervisors,
like Boston, against the granting of n
rival franchise to the Home Telephone
company.
The defense denies this
right, mainly on the ground tluit the
«tate is not privileged to prove other
crime« in an effort to establish the
crime on trial.
The argument of this point, conceded
to be of even more than iu original im
portance, slooe ttie defection of Second
Vice President Zimmer from the rank»
of the prosecutor'* witn«t<ses, occupied
the last two hours of the afternoon M i s
