Thlrl Ballot Verdict vlndl-
catlntf Haywood of the murder
of Governor Steunenberg was
arrled at shortly after day-
break Sunday.
(Special to The Times.)
Boise, July 29. William D. Hay
wood, defendant in one of the most
noted trials Involving conspiracy and
milrder tho country has ever known,
left the jail Sunday a free man, ac
quitted of the murder of former
Governor Frank Steunenberg. It
was after being out twenty-one hours
that the verdict was arrived at. The
jurors were at first divided, eight for
acquittal, two for conviction and two
blank, and then seemed deadlocked
at ten for acquittal to two for con
viction, and finally came to an agree
ment shortly after daybreak Sunday.
Events moved rapidly after this
and hardly had the principal actors
In the trial been gathered into the
court room a few moments before 8
o'clock when u white envelope was
handed by the foreman to-the judge.
Judge Wood opened tho envelope,
hesitated, looked again, and then in
some amazement said: "There Is
nothing in here."
"There's tho right envelope in
your coat pocket," said Juror Russell
to Foreman Gess.
The foreman was palpaply ner
vous and this added materially to the
strain felt by all in tho court room.
The second envelope was handed up,
Judge Wood glanced at it and tossed
the paper to the clerk 'who read:
"State of Idaho against William D.
Haywood. We, tho jury In the above
entitled cause, find tho defendant,
William D. Haywood, not guilty.
Thomas B. Gess, foreman."
Then came congratulations of
Haywood in tho midst of which
' Judge Wood said: "The defendant
will be discharged and the jury dis
missed for this term."
Tears swelled to the eyes of the
man who during 80 days of trial, sat
with stolid indifference written upon
every feature. At last, the ley armor
he had thrown about himself had
heen pierced, and whatever of pent
up feeling had been contained within
was loosed, Haywood's attorneys
were fairly lifted from their seats,
and Judge Wood made no effort to
restoring order as the crowd sur
rounded Haywood to shako his hands
and shout aloud their congratula
tions. James II. Hawley, leading
counsel for tho state, and O. M. Van
Duyn, prosecuting attorney of the
county in which former Governor
Steunenberg was assassinated, sat
gloomy and unspeaking in their
Places. Senaotr Borah, who made
the closing plea for convlcton, was
not present.
Saturday when tho jurors shortly
after 11 o'clock retired they pro
ceeded to tho election of a foreman,
Thomas B. Gess, No. 1, being se
lected. Then, came tho first formnl
ballot, which resulted: Not guilty,
8; guilty, 2; blank, 2. The blanks
were cast by Foreman Gess and A.
P. Burns, both farmers. The second
vote was 9 to 3, Gess going over to
the majoriy. 'The-n BurnB joined in,
making it 10 to 2. Here the Jury
remained at a deadlock for twelve

The milking contest however was the
most exciting. The old bossy that

San FrancWjfo, July 29. The re

by iron iljtd schedules compel the
masters of ships to go at a sped
their consciences tells them Is ujfeafe
was thfe feature of the Cojrtimbla
wrecki'testimony taken befofre Cap
talnBirmlngham todayjf Second
Officer Agerup's testlmonar establlsh
edjTnoro clearly than hjra been done
before the fact that caifralns are com
pelled to run their Jmlps full speed
along the dangerous coast In foggy
weather in the course navigated by
many vessels.
Birmingham jAsked if it was the
usual practice to go at full speed
ahead. Ageiup replied the Captain
always slovd down when he heard
a steamer ahead. The question
whether It was necessary to go at
full speW in order to make schedule
time elfclted the statement there was
certain time allowed for trips on
coa&t steamships and It was neces-
to arrive at a certain hour to
gat in on time ana avoia ueiay.
Does tho ship never slow down
nless there Is a steamer ahead?"
"I can't recollect we ever did. It
might have been done once in awhile
In especially bad weather," said
Agerup.
Attorney Knight for the company
took the witness and elicited from
him that Captain Doran had never
ordered him to push the vessel
ahead at anytime and that he had
never heard the captain say he must
make certain time. Knight made not
an effort to sliako the dangerous tes
timony that dangerous runs were
made to keep the vessel on its sched
ule and that moral suasion of the
company was the reason for fast
runs.
The first witness of the day, Miss
Alice Osterburg, who was a passen
ger on the Columbia testified that
the conduct of Officer Hawse was
gentlemanly throughout the disaster.
Her testimony Indicates the charge
against Hawse is a case of mistaken
identity. She denied the story that
Hawse procured whiskey for himself
and testified tho whiskey was given
women passengers on the boat. She
also denied Hawse was forced to give
up his coat to a woman passenger
and declared ho did so voluntarily.
She likewise denied he struck a pas
senger.

COUaTENAY MILL
f WORK PROGRESSING
Onvner Says Delays On Material Have
Hampered Buildings Com
pleted Last of August.
Mr. A. A. Courtenay was in the
city yesterday and was queried about
tho progress beng made with his mill
on Isthmus Inlet. He said he was
getting along as well as he could
expect, considering the delays which
are bound to occur so far away from
supplies. He stated that one source
of delay was in obtaining timbers for
carriages. This, he bad to order
from Portland as the sawmills on the
bay could not saw the material for
him inside of three weeks. These
supplies came on the Breakwater last
week.
The brick work for boiler founda
tions and supports Is about com
pleted and will be finished this week.
While not being certain as to when
the mill will be ready for operation,
ho tfiought It should be completed by
the last of August. Piling has been
another source of delay, and he is
building some large booms where
these are required. In order to have
room for a large supply of logs.

PETTIBONE'S TRIAL NEXT
Evidence Against Him Said to Be

Any of the Others.
BULLETIN, 1 A. M.
Boise, July 30. A telegram
$ to Peter Breen, of tho defend-
ant's counsel, tonight from
Butte said arrangements at
Butte had been completed for
Moyer's ball.
Boise, July 29. Charles H. Moyer,
co-defendant of Haywood, was or
dered on ?25,000 bond today by
Judge Wood, who presided at tho
Haywood trial. Attorneys for the
Federation attempted to have his
bond ready for filing tonight, but
arrangements had not been wholly
completed at a late hour and Moyer
resigned himself to another night in
the jail. He probably will be re
laescd tomorrow and will leave with
in 24 hours for his home In Denver.
An effort was made by an attorney
for the prosecution and defense to
arrive at an agreement regarding
ball for Pettibonc, but it came to
nothing and no application was
made in his behalf. A motion was
made for a speedy trial however and
his case was set down for October 1.
Counsel intimated today they might
apply for bonds for ePtitb oenleatol
apply for bonds for Pettlbone later,
but It is not believed the state's at
torney will consent.
It has been generally satted that
there is more incriminating evidence
against Pettlbone than any of the
others, while it has been generally
conceded that the case against Moyer
1b the weakest of the three.
The defenso In the Haywood case
admitted there were a number of
things for Pettlbone ot explain as to
his association with Harry Orchard
and tho sending of money to him,
but they said it would be 'time
enough to deal with these matters
when Pettlbone himself was placed
on trial.
Haywood today continued to re
ceive many congratulatory telegrams
from all sections of tho country.
They camo from individuals, from
the local unions of tho Western Fed
eration, and from all classes of labor
unions and from socialist organiza
tions and leaders.
The bond for Moyer Is to bo given
by the Butte local of the Western
Federation, which is the richest local
in the organization and which is said
to carry a deposit of 100,000 to
$14 0,000 constantly in tho bank.

Marshfield beat North Bend.
Hand't you heard about it? It
happened on Sunday, and (he way
the Marshfield boys played ball was
a revelation. They took everything
which came in reach, and batted tho
ball at times. The game was one of
those snappy contests which delights
a crowd. All the returning fans
agreed that it was the "best game
that has been played on this side of
the divide this season. And most
of North Bend acquiesces. Wright
officiated In the box for f Marshfield
and Foote served the benders for
North Bend. The hitting was what
Is considered free, but most of the
long hard drives went Into the wait
ing mlts of tho opposition. There Is
little more to tell. Tho game wps
spirited and both teams were at their
best. Nji'i.11 Bend had twelve put
outs In the field, r.nu Marshfield,
seven.
This victory for Marshfield ties her
with North Bond for second place
and gives her an opportunity to forgo
ahead and overtake Coqullle. By
winning over Bandon on Sunday,
Coqullle has a lead of three games
and Captain Peralta says that one
more win for his team will give It a
cinch on the pennant. It is there
fore up to North Bend to -take tho
county seat boys into camp next Sun
day at Coqullle if either of tho Coos
Bay teams hope to figure in the final
round-up for first place. Marshfield
will play at Bandon, and has confi
dence of winning. Marshfield will
denco of winning. But Coqullle
must be held down for the one game
which gives her tho pennant or the
contest will not bo so Interesting
