HISTORIC TRIAL
WILL BEGIN TODAY
Renew of SteunenWf Murder
and After Event.
On May 9th the mention of the
reading public will be turned to
ward Boise, Idaho, for then there
will begin the trial of William D.
Haywood, secretary of the West
ern Federation of Miners, one of
the three men held on a charge of
being responsible for the murder
of Frank Steunenberg, ex-governor
of Idaho, ars a dispatch to the
Oregonian. The other two are
Charles II. Moyer, president of the
Federation, and George A. Petti
bone, formerly member of the
executive committee of the organi
sation. The men demanded sepa
rate trials nd the state elected to
try the case against Haywood first.
There have been few murder
cases in the country attracting so
much attention. Widespread in
terest was aroused at once on
announcement of the arrest of
Federation leaders, and that
terest has deepened as time
passed. The subject has been
the
the
in
has
so
widely discussed and the lines bet
ween the adherents of the two sides
have been so sharplv drawn that
the case has assumed national im
portance, and in every part of the
'country the keenest interest is
taken in it.
It has been necessary to expand
the telegraphic facilities enormous
ly to make it possible to handle
the case, but the Western Union is
prepared to send out some 200,000
words a day and can handle more
if necessary. The case has been
discussed everywhere as each chap
ter has unfolded, but at this time,
on the eve of the trial, a consecu
tive narrative of the various stages
will prove of interest.
History of too Cast.
Frank Steunenberg was assassins
ted at the gate of his home at
Caldwell, Canyon Co., Idaho, at 6
o'clock on the afternoon of Decem
ber 30, 1905. -As he opened the
gate a bomb attached to a wire was
i i . .
expiouea, ana ne was nuried some
ten feet into the yard. His right
side was fearfully mangled and he
died in a few minutes after being
carried into his home.
As was afterward learned from
the man who set it, the bomb con
tained ten pounds of giant powder.
The powder caps were placed and
over all was a mixture of sugar and
potash. The exploding agency was
a bottle of sulphuric acid so ad
justed that when the gate opened
the wire pulled the cork. This
caused instantaneous combustion.
which exploded the dreadful en-
gine of death.
The assassination caused great
excitement, and the news flashed
over the country, produced a pro
found sensation. Everyone realiz
ed that it was no ordinary crime,
as the method employed indicated
a measure of deliberation and vin
dictiveness not often witnessed.
There were theories of all kinds,
but the minds of people generally
ran back to the time in 1899 when
the victim,then serving as governor
laid an iron hand upon the situa
tion in the Cour d'Alenes and
brought upon himself the denuncia
tions of a vast number of people.
While he had always been suppor
ted by what may be designated as
tbe business interests of the state,
the miners were incensed against
him, particularly those affiliated
with the Weetern Federation, and
union men quite generally joined
in their condemnation of him.
Confession of Orchard.
January 2 a man calling himself
Thomas Hogan was arrested. He
had been suspected from the first,
having been hanging about with
no apparent business. A few days
later he was identified as Harry
Orchard, a man who had figured in
the Cripple Creek disturbances and
was in the Coeur d'Alenes in 1899.
A preliminrry examination was
held January 13-15, and Orchard
was held without bail on the charge
of having committed the murder.
For safe keeping he was lodged in
the penitentiary. There he was
visited by James McParland, the
well-known detective in charge of
the Western branch of the Pinker
ton agency. Orchard made to Mc-
rariand what is said to be a con
Pettibone were arrested in Denver.!
Then some features of it were given
out, but it has never become public
in its entirety aad there ia nothing
but the statements of those connec
ted with the prosecution to indicate
what its nature is. The statements
made respecting it are in general
way that Orchard detailed a plot
participated in by the defendants
which embraced the murder of
Governor Steunenberg. He claim
ed to have been sent here for the
purpose of committing the crime
and that Jack Simpkins, a member
of the executive committee, had
visited Caldwell with him and as
sisted in planning the work. Or
chard is said to have told of a
great many crimes that he ascrib
ed to the initiative of the officials
of the federation. But the story
will soon be brought out and the
public will know what it is. The
supposition is that a great many
matters will be included in Or
chard's testimony, and his state
ments will be attacked by all the
testimony available for the pur
pose.
Dtfeadanta Spirited Away.
When the prosecution was ready
to arrest Moyer, Haywood and Pet
tibone a complaint was sworn out
against them and a warrant issued
In this they were charged, under
the Idaho law, with being princi'
pals in the erime, the warrant al
leging they committed the deed
Uover or uooding issued a vequi
sitioa upon the governor of Colo
rado for the extradition of the men
Accompanying the papers in the
case was a copy of the alleged con
fession made by Orchard. Gover
nor McDonald took the matter un
der consideration for some days
and then issued h a extradition
warrant
Moyer was arrested just as he
was boarding a train on the Bur
lington road; Haywood was tken
into custody in a house to which
he had been shadowed, and Petti
bone was taken at his place of
business. All the men were lodged
in the County Jail for the remain
der of the night. A special train
was secured, and at 5 o'clock A. M
the officers left with their prisoners
for a rapid ran to Idaho. News of
the arrest had not leaked out, and
the train was well on its way be
fore it became know that the men
were in custody.
This is what has been designated
as the kidnapping ef the men. It
has been insisted by the friends of
the defendants that they should
have been permitted to consult
counsel in Denver and resist remo
val by appeal to the courts. The
State, on the other hand, has in
sisted that it is not the duty of of
fleers to thus invite legal proceed
ings after having made an arrest
on regular extradition papers. Out
of these conflicting contentions
grew the legal proceedings which
delayed the trials a year.

Relief from Rheumatic Pains.
' I suffered with rheumatism for
over two years," says Mr. Roland
Curry, a patrolman, of Key West,Fla,
Sometimes It settled In my knees
and lamed me so I could hardly wallet
at other times It would be In my feet
and hands so I was Incapacitated for
duty. One night when I was In severe
pain and lame from It my wife went
to the drug store here and came back
with a bottle of Chamberlain's I'aln
Balm. I was rubbed with It and
found the pain had nearly gone
during the night. I kept on using It
for a little more than two weeks and
found that It drove the rheumatism
away. I have not had any trouble
from that disease for over three
months." For sale by D. IV Adam
