witness In the view of the defense to
day, but the only point In his testi
mony that could be of any possible
benefit to the defense 'in influencing
the Jury Is that relative to sending of
detectives to get into the unions. Some
of the reports he copied were offered
In evidence. There is nothing in them
that is injurious to the case of the
state and no objection will be raised
to their introduction.
Some call this the best day for the
defense, but there are othere close to
the prosecution who hold It is the best
for the state. In connection with the
latter statement is an intimation that
it is best by reason of the laying of
foundations for refuting the testimony
given by some of the witnesses, that
there is a surprise in store.
TELLS OF PINKER TON ' SPIES
Former Employe Exposes Secret
Work In Strike.
BOISE, Idaho.. June 29. Morris
Friedman, a former employe of the
Plnkerton. detective agency at Denver,
who published his adventures and
many of the confidential reports and
records that passed through his hands
In an attack on the agency, was a wit
ness today in behalf of William D.
Haywood. He told how the Pinker
tons had sent spies into many of the
important unions of the Western Fed
eration of Miners.
The call from the defense ' for Mr.
Friedman to take the stand produced
one of the sensational periods of the
trial. He is a striking-looking young
man with a shock of black hair and
of marked Hebraic type. Heavy, thick
glasses magnify his large, dark eyes,
and his smooth-shaven face is very
pale. By name and operating number
he Identified a dozen detectives who
succeeded in entering or getting very
close to the miners' unions in Colo
rado and produced voluminous copies
of the reports they made to the agency
for transmission to the mineowners.
Mr. Friedman was a confidential sten
ographer under Detective McParland
and, so he tesified. it was part of -his
duty to re-copy the reports of the
operatives as they reached the office.
Identifies Spy In Court.
Mr. Friedman swore that in several
Instances the detectives sent out by
the agency In behalf of the mine
owners managed to get themselves
elected to high office In the union and
In a couple of Instances they carried
their daring roles to the extent of
sharing all the hardships of real strik
ers and being finally deported fro
the country with real strikers who
went out before the militia. Ten feet
from Mr. Friedman's chair sat George
W. Redell, who as a Plnkorton detec
tive worked up to leadership in the
Tellurlde Union and, turning to him
by direction of Clarence Darrow, the
witness identified him. Mr. Redell
smiled and touched his chest as Mr.
Friedman pointed toward him.
Mr. Friedman said that one Pinker-ton-
operative became chairman of the
union strike relief committee at
Globevllle and as such had charge of
all -funds and foods disbursed there by
the local union and general federation.
Mr. Friedman said that under Instruc
tions from his superiors at the Pinker
ton agency this man first tried to
beggar the federation by the lavish
expenditure in behalf of the strikers
and, failing In this, he cut the relief
down to the lowest point of stingi
ness in the hope that the members of
the union might censure Haywood.
Plnkerton Reports Presented.
Mr. Friedman was twice interrupted
to give way to other witnesses and did
not get beyond the Identification and
a brief sketch of each operative em
ployed In the espionage of the feder
ation's strike operations and the iden
tification of several of the confidential
reports. The latter were not read and
will not be offered In evidence until
Monday morning, when Mr. Friedman
will continue his testimony. The ex
amination did not show whether Mr.
Friedman entered the employ of the
Pinkertons as a spy in behalf of the
labor organizations or his decision to
make public his knowledge and the
documents he took was' reached after
he was discharged.
Aside from the introduction of Mr.
Friedman the defense also offered a large
amount of testimony covering Orchard's
credibility, the dispute as to the time
Orchard sold his interest in the Hercules
mine, the treatment of Jack Simpkins
while a prisoner in the Idaho bull-pen,
another motive for the murder of De
tective Lyte Gregory, the whipping of
men friendly to the Btrikers at Cripple
Creek, and the circumstances under which
the processes of the civil courts at Tellur
lde were disregarded by the military au
thorities. Saw Orchard In Poker Game.
Two witnesses swore that on the day
the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mill was de
stroyed Harry Orchard was at Mullan,
which is IS miles from Wardner. They
located him in a poker game and one of
them Patrick McHale, a saloonkeeper
swore that he sat In the game. By vari
ous means, including & showing that
McHale Is a gambler, the prosecution en
deavored to break this testimony, but
both witnesses held to their stories. J. H.
Ramsey, who formerly operated stage
lines in North Idaho, testified that Or
chard came to him on May 2, 1899, to sell
his Interest in the Hercules mine for $400.
Orchard has testified that he finally sold
his interest in the mine February, 1897.
Frank Hough, who said he was sent to
the "bull pen" in North Idaho In 1S99 for
reasons that he never knew, described
conditions in that military prison and how
diers released him, but as he left the of-
negro soldiers required Jack Simpkins to
stand for six hours in the hot sun of a
July day, refused him water -and kept
him up by menacing him with their bayo
nets. Another cruelty witness was William
Amole, once a watchman on the Portland
mine, which acceded to the demands of
the strikers at Cripple Creek and con
tinued to work with union men. In pic
turesque language Mr. Amole told how
he was driven from the district and
sneaked back to get his furniture, only to
be rounded up by the militia. The sol
fice of the Citizens' Alliance he was set
upon by a party of armed masked men.
He testified that they took him six miles
outside the town and cruelly whipped him
with a blacksnake.
Conflict of Court and Militia.
Theron Stephens, now of Goldfleld, Nv..
but once judge of the District Court "at
Telluride. traced the history of the re
lations between the courts and the sol
diery in the troublous days of the strike.
He testified that, when the deportees tried
to use the injunction to get back to their
homes, the Governor returned the district
to the control of martial law, and that the
writ of habeas corpus and the subsequent
order for arrest for its disobedience
against the military authorities in the
case of Charles H. Moyer were both dis
regarded by General Sherman Bell and
Captain Bulkley Wells. The Judge
thought things had been very quiet in
Telluride district, but under cross-examin

ation said that some men had been killed
in an attack on the Smuggler-Union mine
I and that subsequently Arthur Collins,
manager of the mine, was murdered.
There was also a showing that detect
ive Lyte Gregory had beaten officers of
the United Mineworkers and the defense
explained that this was offered as the
foundation for the allegation that some
body besides the Federation might have
desired his death.
Saw Orchard Playing Poker.
Dominlck Flynn, a merchant of Mul
lan, was the first witness. He testified
that on April 29, 1899. the day of the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan raid. Orchard
was playing poker in his place from
noon to 4 P. M-, Mullan being 18 miles
from the scene of the explosion. Under
cross-examination he said he had
known Orchard a year and a half, and
that Orchard often played at his house.
He gave the names of others who were
in the same game. He had not seen
Orchard since. He denied having vol
unteered to testify, but some time later
was asked if Orchard had not played
on the day in question and Patrick Mc
Hale was one of the players.
McHale, who next testified, - said he
was a bartender at Mullan, and con
firmed tills last statement. He denied
that gambling was his profession, but
admitted gambling every time he got
a chance. He said the poker party
was made up of Forest Clark, now a
retired mining man; Colonel Moore, an
electric light and water man; Dominlck
Flynn, Harry Orchard and himself. Dr.
McGee was In the place during the
day, but did not play. The witness
declared he was positive Orchard was
not at Wardner the day of the mill
explosion.
"Then," said Senator Borah, "Orchard
had nothing to fear so far as being
mixed up in that matter was con
cerned?" "No. sir."
"And he had no reason to sacrifice
his property and get out?"
"No, sir."
In reply to Mr. Darrow, McHale said
everybody in Mullan except the sa
loonkeepers. Colonel Moore and Dr.
McGee was arrested after the explo
sion. Cruelty In the Bullpen.
Frank Hough, a Federation member
from Wallace, testified as to conditions
in the bullpen, where he was confined
He said Simpkins was a fellow-prisoner.
He tried to find out what he
was arrested for, but did not succeed.
Objection to testimony as to the bull
pen was overruled, Mr. Darrow saying
It was Intended to show Simpkins' mo
tive for acting with Orchard against
Steunenberg.
Mr. Hough testified that 330 to 400
miners were crowded in the bullpen In
the Summer of 1899, and one-fourth of
them .were sick most of the time. Col
ored troops guarded them.
"Was it the same regiment that
afterward went to Brownsville?" asked
Mr. 'Darrow. V
"Brownsville?" repeated the witness,
somewhat puzzled. "I can't say as to
that."
"We are not going' to investigate
that affair, are we?" questioned Judge
Wood, of the attorneys.
"Well, I guess not," drawled Darrow,
after a pause.
"If you do. we'll send for Foraker."
declared Senator Borah.
The witness said while in the bull
pen Simpkins was taken outdoors on a
hot July day and made to stand in the
sun for six hours without water. He
suffered considerably, but every time
he ,tried to sit down the soldiers
trained their bayonets on him, but the
witness did not" see any of them jab
him. .
Names Some of Raiders.
Mr. Hough, who is now a painter,
paperhanger, and sometimes tends bar,
said he met Orchard at Wallace in 1899,
and the latter said he had just come
from Alaska. Orchard also said if it
had not been for Steunenberg he would
have been a rich man.'
Under cross-examination, Mr. Hough
said he saw the train carrying the mob
to Wardner pass through Gem and the
men were not all masked. He did not
see any arms. He knew after the train
pulled out where it was bound for.
He gave the names of Mike Devine and
Jay Gould as two men he saw on the
train, but said they were both dead.
Asked for names of men not dead or
out of the country, he said:
"Horace Mahoney, Joe Riley and lots
of others. It is a long time to remem
ber names."
He was arrested in the general
round-up by a deputy called "Death on
the Trail." He saw Simpkins, as well
as Orchard, in Wallace in 1905, but had
no talk with him.
Declined to Buy Hercnles Mine.
James M. Ramsey, formerly a stage
driver and rancher in the Coeur
d'Alenes, testified that he met Orchard
on the road between Gem and Wallace
on May 2, 1899, and Orchard offered to
sell him his one-sixteenth Interest in
the Hercules mine for $400 and get out
of the country before the soldiers
came, adding that the Hercules would
make a million some day.
"Did he tell you he had given title
to his property to a man named Cor
dova more than a year before this
time?" asked Senator Borah. .
"No, sir. I didn't ask him about the
title. I turned the proposition down
cold."
Asked how he happened to remem
ber the conversation, Mr. Ramsey said:
"When they struck It rich in the
mine, I thought a lot about the offer
I had turned down."
James A. Baker, a miner and pros
pector of Slocan, B. C, testified that he
had been a member of the federation
since 1899, and was a member of the
executive board of British Columbia
from 1901 to 1905. ' During a large part
of the Cripple Creek strike he aided in
running affairs in Denver while Moyer
and Haywood were in jail. He went to
Cripple Creek in December. 1903, to
establish a union store, but was arrest
ed and told by the commanding officer
he did not want any union stores in
the district and was advised to take
the first train out of town. He took it.
William Amole of Denver, who was
a watchman at the 'Portland mine at
Cripple Creek until the union miners
were deported, testified that he was
arrested and released several times and
finally flogged by two masked men.
Plnkerton Spies in Union.
Morris Friedman, a newspaper cor
respondent who has written a book ex
posing the Plnkerton; methods, next
testified. He said he was a stenogra
pher in the Denver office of the Pinker
tons during the Cripple Creek strike,
doing the work of James McParland
and becoming familiar with the office
work. He said a Pinkarton man named
Crane became secretary of the Smelter
men's Union of Colorado City and was
also chairman of the strike committee.
Other operatives who were connected
with unions in Colorado were Joseph
F. Gaddon. Charles H. Rhymer. George
W. Rlddell, P. B. Bailey, Cummings
Lutlow and Connlbear. Mr. Friedman
declared he handled most of the daily
reports from these men for a year and
a half.
Mr. Rlddell was in the courtroom as
Friedman began his testimony. He was
identified by the witness.
Two of the Pinkertons were deported
with the rest of. the union men from
Cripple Creek and Telluride.
"Do you know a Pinkerton named
Londoner?" asked Darrow.
"Yes. sir." '
"Was he a member of the union?"
"No, sir. Londoner was -supposed to
be a capitalist and trying to find out
secrets of Mr. Heinse."
The reference to the Montana mining
millionaire called out a wave of laugh
ter. Mr. Friedman next told of an opera
tive named A. W. Gratlas. who was
chairman of the miners' relief commit
tee at Globevllle, Just outside Denver.

"At first Gratlas was instructed by Mr.
McParland to make the relief bills as
large as possible." said the witness, "In
order to drain the Western Federation's
treasury. This didn't seem to work, so
Gratlas was told to cut down the bills
to the lowest notch so as to dissatisfy
the men on strike."
He told how the operatives reported
what transpired at union meetings,
what miners did in private. The Pink
ertons spied on both the federation and
the United Mineworkers. His duty was
to copy these reports and mail them to
clients of the agency, and he had copies
of a number of them. He was with
drawn from the stand till he could pro
duce these reports.
James Mooney, of Missouri, who de
scribed himself as "a Jim Crow farmer
and a one-horse coal operator," next
testified that, as a member of the na
tional executive board of the United
Mineworkers, he was called to the
Trinidad coal field of Colorado during
a strike. Mr. Darrow explained that the
purpose of this testimony was to show
that Lyte Gregory, whom Orchard
killed, was working against the United
Mine-workers, not the federation.
Mr. Mooney said Gregory was re
ported to be engaged in importing non
union miners. The witness was badly
beaten by an exceptionally large man
and was in bed for 10 days In conse
quence. Objection being made, Mr.
Darrow said the purpose was to show
a motive for assaults on Gregory by
any man who regarded him as a thug,
and a man who beat men.
Mr. Mooney said, under cross-examination,
that he did not plan the assassl
antion of Gregory or encourage any of
his friends to kill the man, but made
an effort to find out who he was, not
for the purpose of revenge, but to have
him prosecuted.
Chris Evans, national statistician ot
the United Mine-workers, testified that
he, too. was beaten at Trinidau. Ob
jection being made to this testimony, as
irrelevant, it was allowed on the prom
ise of the defense to show that Greg
ory was responsible for the assault.
John L Tierney, a Denver newspaper
correspondent, testified to having seen
Gregory at Trinidad, and said he was
six feet two inches high, and weighed
260 pounds.
Judge Theron Stephens, ex-judge of
the District Court of Colorado at Ouray,
but now of Goldfleld, Nev was then
called to prove that peace prevailed
In the Telluride district until the mil
itia came and the union miners were
deported.
Judge Stephens told first of an in
junction having been Issued against
the Miners' Union preventing a boy
cott of some of the merchants in the
Telluride country. So far as he knew
the Injunction was obeyed and there
was no interference of any sort with
the court.
