. . pendcnce Dynamiter.
BOISB, Idaho. July 11. (Special.) Rapid
.progress was made today in the Haywood
case. The cross-examination of Charles
H. Moyer was completed at one session of
the court and In the afternoon the direct
examination of W. D. Haywood, the de
fendant, was carried well along through
his story.
Both men have made good witnesses.
They were expected to deny everything
said by Orchard that connected them with
crimes, and they are doing so consist
ently, but In the admissions both make
the case of the state is receiving pro
nounced support. When- Orchard con
fessed, it was stated in a great many
Interviews by these and other men con
nected with the management of the Fede
ration that he knew nothing about the
affairs of the organization; that they had
no knowledge of him, having met him,
but having no real acquaintance, with
him. Now they are obliged to practically
admit intimate acquaintance running over
a long period. Again and again they ad
mit the correctness of Orchard's state
ments respecting collateral matters and
again and again they reflect their Inti
mate acquaintance' with him' under his
various aliases.
Haywood Nervous About Moyer.
It was noticeable today that Haywood
was far more at ease on the stand than
he was while Moyer was in the chair.
During the entire examination of Moyer,
Haywood was nervous, but, when the lat
ter took the stand, he was more com
posed and showed less nervousness than
had been displayed by his predecessor.
The testimony given hy Moyer was
characterized throughout by a purpose to
protect himself. Again and again in
answering questions as to criminal plans
or acts charged to him and others, he
qualified his answers with a phrase like
this:
"Speaking for myself, I can say there
was no such knowledge."
He emphasized this statement today on
cross-examination in referring to the
draft for $100 sent to Simpkins on De
cember 21, 1905, which, as alleged by the
state, was for Orchard. He said he knew
nothing of the draft; though he had to
sign all checks, he did not sign one for
that money. He knew nothing about that
matter until It came up in evidence here.
He signed checks for Simpkins' per diem
and mileage, but did not take part in- any
such payment to him as this.
Must Explain About Draft.
It Is assumed that Haywood will make
the explanation Indicated by Mr. Darrow
in his opening, to the effect that Simpkins
left this $100 with Haywood to be sent to
him in the form of a draft. It is one of
the things that have to be explained, and
they are going to make the best effort
they can, but It is past belief how they
expect to make an impression when the
facts are so clear. Orchard testified to
sending for the money and he received
the letter from Pettibone dated Decem
ber 21, saying the money had been sent
that day to Simpkins for. him. Moyer
showed In his testimony that he was
very intimate with Orchard, though he
had claimed only a short acquaintance.
Xever Tried to Earn Reward.
A very Interesting feature was his
statement about having asked the Fed
eration to offer a reward of $5000 tor
the perpetrator of the Independence
outrage. The convention made the of
fer. After that Moyer saw Orchard
about headquarters at Denver and
knew he was suspected of being re
sponsible for the explosion, others
there knew It, but no single person
connected' with the Federation' made a
move to eari that $3000 reward or to
cause the arrest of Orchard without
asking for the reward. On the con
trary, they helped him nd Neville to
get away because he was suspected,
as has already been shown, and will
be further shown on rebuttal.
It is painful to listen to the stereo
typed denial of every crime charged by
Orchard and to find Interspersed with
' the denials every evidence of Intimacy
with him and bad faith wHh the pub
lic. In the matter of employing coun
sel at a cost of $1500 to defend Or
chard, Moyer admitted it was done
without any inquiry whatever as to
the probability of the guilt of the man.
Federation money was paid out at once
and without compunction, to defend a
man accused of such a crime when
there was no suggestion of a reason
why the Federation should seek to save
him from the law.
Haywood's testimony is running
along on much the same lines as that
of Moyer and It Is sprinkled with the
am character of admission. Though
an effort was made to create the Im
pression that there was but compara
tively slight acquaintance with Or
chard nothing approaching intimacy
Haywood told of having had a long
Interview with him about what ha
stated was Orchard's purpose to desert
his wife. He gave .Orchard some, ad
vice, lecturing him earnestly for this
wife and his two boys. Though they
were by another man, the -woman had
them when Orchard took her and Hay
wood insisted it was his duty to. take
care of them as If they were his own.
A good deal of evidence appears in
that to establish intimacy of the clos
est character. It is necessary to go
deeply Into the mire on that point, as
Haywood has to offer an explanation
of the letter he wrote Mrs. Orchard for
the purpose of loading her into the be
lief that her husband was in Alaska.
Keeling Against Steunenberg. t
Again, Haywood denied entertaining
a feeling against Steunenberg. He had
lived in that etate and It was testified
by the witness Stewart that he heard
Haywood declare the Governor should
be exterminated. . Haywood said ' he
might have, had a talk with Stewart,
but, if he; did, he probably used the
term "relegated" and not "extermin
ated." Thus It goes all through. . '
Though both men have been doing
the best they can under the circum
stances, they are obliged to admit so
much, while denying direct criminal
acts or plans, that they fail to
strengthen their case.
It is said that there will be between'
45 and 50 witnesses to take .the stand
in rebuttal.
HAYWOOD'S GENERAL . DENIAL
Defendant Tells Story Calmly While
His Wife Weeps. "
BOISE, Idaho, July 11. William D.
Haywooa took oath today, as a .witness.
In his own defense, and In a lengthy
narrative 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 Steun
enberg and the manifold crimes
charged against him by Harry Orch
ard. Haywood was pale and trembled
with nervousness when he left the
table of his counsel and walked around
to the elevated stand,- where. he faced
the judge and jury and raised his right
hand to be sworn. When he began, to
respond to Clarence Darrow's ques
tions his voice was low and somewhat
uncertain, but within 10 minutes he
had regained his composure and for
the rest of the afternoon he was master
of his feelings. As he told of his boy
hood, that began with toil at" the age
of 9, and gave the history of his fam
ily, his invalid wife, who sat Just to
the left of the witness stand, began
sobbing softly. ' Her mother-in-law and
her nurse soon comforted her, how
ever, and during the rest of the after
noon -she -and the rest of Haywood's
kinsfolk remained quiet but deeply
concerned auditors.
Denies Every Charge Made.
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 Gregory
murder, and denied suggesting or dis
cussing the Steunenberg murder. He
swore, he never gave Orchard any
money at any time or place or for any
purpose. He declared that he never
made a threat against Steunenberg,
whom he said he regarded only as he

DENVER, July 11. John T. ThomJ
son, a notorious crook captured in Lon
don after a chase around the world,
escaped from a train on the -Rio
Grande ' Railroad at Burnham, four
miles from this city this morning. He
leaped from a car Window while the
train was running at a speed of 40
miles an hour.
Afterward Thompson forced Dr.
Horace, S. Cooper to attend him, and
gave him a $300 diamond pin for. his
services. . He ' then left the doctor's
office fend with a broken right arm, a
broken collar-bone and a, deep scalp
wound and other injuries, is at large,
while all the operatives of the police
and the Sheriffs department are scour
ing the city and suburbs for him In
automobiles, on foot and horseback.
Lulls Day's Vigilance.
Thompson is wanted in Portland, Or.,
on charge of robbing a citizen' of that
place of $3000, and was. on. his. way to
that city to stand trial when he made
his. thrilling escape from ex-Detective
Joseph Day, of the Portland police de
partment who had him In charge.
At the time he eluded the vigilance
of Day, -Thompson was .out of hand
cuffs for the first time In weeks. He
gained the confidence of Day by ex
emplary behavior and asked permis
sion to go to the toilet just as the
train was leaving Depver. Day took
the handcuffs from his wrists and al
lowed him to go into the lavatory, be
lieving that the great speed at which
the train was going would preclude
any possibility of his getting away.
Desperate Leap, Is Recaptured.
Thompson took a desperate chance,
leaped through a window of the toilet,
which he opened for the purpose, and
secured his liberty at the cost of great
bodily Injury. His leap was witnessed

by many employes of the Rio Grande
Railroad at Burnham and by Dr.
Cooper, who attended him, and he was
believed by all to be demented.
Day lad not realized his prisoner
had got away until he reached Castle
Rock. This gave Thompson more than
an hour s . start on the officer.,
Thompson was caught in Cheyenne,
Wj'O., tonight and an officer will go
there tomorrow, Iron him and take him
to Portland. . S -
Search for Thompson was kept up until
late tonight, when word was received
from Cheyenne, VYyo.. that the escaped
prisoner was In custody, there. Thompson
managed to work his way back through
the railrofnJ yards of this city to the
Union depot and boarded . a northbound
train for Cheyenne. Before reaching the
latter city he gave himself up to. the. con-,
ductor, saying that his injured shoulder
pained him so much that he could stand
it no longer. On reaching Cheyenne
Thompson .was taken into custody by the
police there and given medical treatment.
He will.be held, until the arrival of De
tective Day, of Portland, from whom he
escaped today. -

Winter, a well-known saloonkeeper of
this city. Thompson, who Is nearly B0
years of age, will be remembered by
the patrons of Mr. Winter's cafe as the
snowy-headed mixologist who served
the customers of the resort known as
the Log Cabin saloon on the morning

Thompson opened up the place, but for

SAN FRANCISCO, July 11. Dr. Charles
Boxton, the temporary Mayor of San
Francisco, on the witness-stand in' the
Glass trial this afternoon told the story
of his debaiichment by Theodore V. Hal
sey, - the Indicted agent of the Pacific
States Telephone Company, who, .he tes
tified, paid him . $5000, "mostly In ' $100
bills," for having voted and used his in
fluence as Supervisor against the grant
ing of a rival franchise to the Home
Telephone Company.
Boxton is a fine-looking, gray-haired
maijof middle age. He has a creditable
Spanish War record and is entitled to
write "Major" before his name. He was
the last and only important witness in
an otherwise slow and tedious day. He
was not a reluctant nor yet a noticeably
willing testifier, but his examination by
Mr. Heney was so spiked about .with
clever objections from Mr. Delmas often
sustained that at length the gorge of
the Assistant District Attorney rose and
he hotly accused his veteran adversary
of trying to cloud the issue and impede
justice.
Heney and Delmas Clash.
An indulgent reply from the velveted
front pew of the synagogue courtroom,
where sit the defendant's attorneys, pro
voked the prosecutor to an audible
thanksgiving that, though other folks'
veins might be filled with ice water, his
were not; and when Mr. Delmas had re
spondingly alluded to the "Dutch" in his
opponent's make-up, trudge Lawlor laid
the ban on the two of them.
"No more of- these exhibitions," he
warned.
But for all that they clashed again,
some 20 minutes later. Mr. Heney object
ed to a question Interpolated by Mr. Del
mas and was sustained. , Subsequently at
a whispered word from one of his asso
ciates, he withdrew the objection.
"Oh," smiled Mr. Delmas, with irri

tating good humor,- "I thought you would
do that."
"The objection being withdrawn, the
ruling is annulled," said the "court.
"I withdrew my objection," retorted Mr.
Heney, "because I think it was not a
wise one, and because (with what looked
like a nod and a wink in the direction of
the jury) I am willing to help you build
up your reputation by making as much
out' of that as you can."
Delmas Strikes Fire.
"I fear," mocked Delmas, "that the
structure you refer to will gain nothing
from your quarter," and then into the
midst of the responsive tittfer he launched
a vigorous objection to his "learned ad
versary's" nod and wink. When they had
fought about It a little while. Judge Law
lor remarked with a show of displeasure:
"I thought the court Instructed you
gentlemen to proceed with the witness. I
thought I stated that these exhibitions
between counsel must cease."
Mr. Delmas .smiling across the chancel
space, murmured!
."You hot-headed
"I'm not hot-headed," protested Mr.
Heney, flushing up. They let It go at that
then, and returned to their witness.
The cross-examination of ' Boxton was
scarcely under way when District Attor
ney Langdon Interrupted to ask an ad
journment to permit Boxton to attend "a
very Important meeting of the Board of
Supervisors, called for 3 o'clock." It was
then 4:30 by the synagogue clock. Judge
Lawlor was loath, but finally consented
after It appeared that President Henry
T. Scott, of. the Pacific States Company,
the next witness on the prosecution's list,
was not in attendance, though he had
been, specially .summoned.
Warning to High Financiers.
"I wish it distinctly understood," the
judge-said, "that any witnesses who are
absent when court opens at 11 o'clock
tomorrow will be brought here by process.
No. .witness will be excused from attend
ance, no matter who he is or what are
hl business engagements, without the
special consent of the court."
The first and only important question
asked of Dr. Boxton in cross-examination
before he was excused brought out the
answer that the. supervisorial caucus at
which, a majority of the 18 Supervisors
decided to abandon the Pacific States
Telephone Company by which, according
to their confessions to the grand jury,
they had been bribed and vote a fran
chise to the Home . Company was held
In the office of Mayor Schmitz on the
Sunday preceding February 26, 1906.
Boxton's cross-examination by Mr. Del
mas will be resumed tomorrow morning.
. t Fixing Time of Bribery. ., ,
William Thomas, who was the first
witness, testified that as attorney for
the "Home Telephone Company, of San
Franctsco, he drew up that corporation's
application for a telephone franchise
competitive with the Pacific Btates Com
pany. The original of this application
was filed with the clerk of the Board of
Supervisors, and a copy was kept by the
witness.' Both, he said, were destroyed
in the April fire, but he could give the
jury the full substance of the matter con
tained. He proceeded to do this by read
ing an application made to the Berkeley
city government, which, he said, was a
copy of the San Francisco document.
One of the vital allegations in the in
dictment is that this application was
pending in the Board of Supervisors when
the alleged bribe of $5000 was paid to
Boxton to vote against it. To prove this
pendency. Mr. Heney asked Mr. Thomas

ington, July 11. If the Metcalf idea Is
carried out and the Atlantic battle
ship fleet makes the so-called practice
cruise around the Horn and up to San
Francisco; a new record In the history
of the American Navy will be estab
lished. Various ships have made the
trip around the Horn, notably the bat
tleship Oregon at the outbreak of the
Spanish war, but never has a fleet un
dertaken the journey a a unit, and
never, so far as recalled, has any for?
elgrn fleet of 16 battleships made such
a long, continuous cruise.
When the Oregon made her famous
trip around the Horn ehe consumed 63
days, but her route was not as direct
as that which would likely be taken
by the battleship fleet, and her pro
gress was retarded by the fact that
she was accompanied by the little gun
boat Marietta, which made scarcely
more than eight knots per hour. If
the Atlantic fleet consists solely of
battleships and Is not handicapped by
smaller craft, naval officers believe It
can make the trip in considerably less
time, as the fleet should make from 10
to 12 knots with case.

Progress will necessarily be retarded

this account will depend entirely upon
