Hawley, senior of t!i group of prosecu
tort, the Stat of Idaho, today, mad
tha opening ttment ajpalnat Haywood
and then hern tha presentation of tea
limony by which It bop to prova tha
indictment laid agouut him, Tha open
Ing statement waa a broad wplng ar
raignment of tha leader of tha Western
Federation of Miner who ar charged
with plotting wholesale murder and
hiring ain, all In a gipantta con
spiracy of vengeance ujm thoaa who ob
structed their away, to tletroy opposi
tion, by trrorlin, to control the politi
cal detlnie of the communities cov
ered by their orgnnlwtion ami to per
petuate their own power within the
oriranUatlon, It 1 charged that a
widespread conspiracy, dating Ita in
ception from the North Idaho disturb
anee 18 year ago, reaching down to
tha murder of Steuncnberg and whole
murdered victim by bullet and bomb,
numbered aoorea.
Haw ley declared that whenever In th
mining aectlona of the Count states the
Federation ha been In control, there
H been left a trail of blood to mark
It operationa of hired aatatsln, It
cried i "To them murder Wain a
r&Aa am! aiyifiattliiAttiin a meant of
hiR."
nm o ins (junrrni cuunpiriii'y, jiawiry
ill i "It ha been a part of their
liny to control th view of th var
mm wetlnna whnrfl the e nrrrnnlriMnn
fa had control. Tin conspiracy, tin
collision, the crimen, thl understand
lug between leader of thl organisation,
together with some that were associated
w ith them In a auboixlinate role, together
at other time, with other that have
upon the outside ' played Into their
hands, numed death and ha been the
real cause of the death of Governor
Steimenlierg." -
Mr, Hawley declared thl wa the
only object of the organisation, lie ald
that while the executive committee had
at various time changed their object,
their Idea never changed. Hawley de
clared prosecution would prove at tha In
ception, a conspiracy was formed by the
"Inner Circle," the object of which was
to perpetuate hlr wn power both In
the Federation Itself and In govern
mental matter of different eotlon of
the mining country wherein they had
control by "Employing desperate crim
inal to wmimlt murder and other atro
cious crime" against .. those whose
wlshe ran counter to their interest.
A part of the prosecution case showing
who I responsible for Steunenberg's
murder and who caused It to be com
mitted, Hawley said they would show
the leader of thl "Inner Circle" have
for more than eight year past made
record of deeds and violence and that
their ohosen method and course and
c)istom has toft a trail of blood In min-
ina uentlnni of this entire coast wherein
they hd control. We will show that
tlio leader who comprise the "Inner
Circle" have traded In blood, employed
'hired l to tak life and destroy
property a their InteretU seemingly re
quired, and a part of their general prac
tice of protection rained by assessment
levied on metiiiter of their order, a
!rg amount of money tn emergency
fund and from It not only squandered
large mi ma fur their personal purpose
and in' certain criminal method but
hav alio from It retained th best legal
talent to defend thos of their number
charged with crime."
: After retelling th story of th Cald
well crime, th arrest and couf!on of
Orchard and a part of the history of the
Coeur d'Alen trouble Hawley aaldi
"The original proposition and theory
that the power of this Federation or of
the 'Inner Circle at least of th Federa
tion, oouU be perpetuated by murder of
those who in official lift or in private
situation ran counter to their interest,
became lntnifird seemingly after they
assumed the entire control. , Th Inner
Circle1 composed a It was of thl d
fendant and co-defendant, to a great
extent brought . around them a few
choice spirits, nd to them, murdar b
cam a trad and assassination, the
mean of living. We will show, gentle
men, that a aral of wage was sven
devied, fixing the amount to be paid
for different . crime by thl 'Inner
Circle' to part le who committed these
crime and chief amongst those who
did the actual work that wa planned by
th 'Inner Circle and paid for out of
the fund of tha Federation by mem
ber of th 'inner Circle' wa thl man
to whom I hav referred, Harry Or
chard, and on Steve Adam."
Hawley tpoka nearly an hour and a
half to a courtroom crowded but sllcut,
to a jury, which, silting bolt upright,
watched for every word, to th prisoner
with hi family around him, who wa
several time moved to deep emotion

by the Oliver Grand Jury, by which be

tion from the French restaurant. Judge
Dunne, upon motion of the prosecution,
over determined and spirited objection
of th , defense formally disqualified
Sheriff O'Neill and Coroner Walsh as
unfitted by personal biaa to perform
any function in connection with the
trial and appointed William J. Biggy
elisor to li'ave charg of the jury until
their verdict ha been rendered or a
disagreement reached.
Shortly after the adjournment, Biggy
marched the jury to the St. Francis
Hotel where they will be kept under
lock and key all the time they are not
sittimr in th trial. Judire Dunne ha
A'clded that the jurors shall hav no
newspapers to read until all the articles
relating to the cas have been centored,
they may receive no general mail nor
lt communicated with by their families
except under scrutiny of the Elisor. The
tate hope) to put all it evidence in
thl week.
The defense fought the appointment
of Jiisiry a blisor "Because he wa
part and parcel of prosecution" and be
cause he employed Detective Burns,
"Than whom, no man is more zealous
for the conviction of this defendant."
Judge Dunne replied that he had no
confidence in the sheriff's office but be
did in Biggy- He said he knew If Biggy
had charge of the jury it would be sub
jected to no outside influence.
"That is just what we want to be
sure of," retorted Campbell of the coun
sel for the defense.
"That," sneered Johnson of the prose
cution, "Is evident from the conduct of
the defense." '
"But it is not evident from the con
duct of the atate" was, the swift re-
joiner. ' pv.j' ;l -i i
"Wa do not forget," interjected Bar
rett, one of the Mayor's attorneys,
"That you have money behind you."
"Thank heaven, lb It not dirty
money," retorted Johnson.
"Now," said Heney, rising in wrath,
"I am going to ask your Honor to com
mit Barrett to jail for contempt if he
does not cease his slurring interruptions
of this proceeding. I 11
"This court I take it, is not going to
send me or anybody to jail at the
behest op to suit the purpose of
Heney," observed Barrett.
"Both of you take your seats," com
manded Dunne. ,
At which, complained Heney, pointing
his finger at Barretts ,
"He' been talking all afternoons I
haven't had a chance to talk at all."
"And naturally that pains you,"
soothed the Mayor lawyer, with which
there was a laugh.
Judge Dunne ended the discussion by
saying lie would instruct not to em
ploy anyone connected with the prose
cution or defense unles he was employ
cd by both. The judge said he did not
car how my ' people watched the
Klisor, but didn't propose to hav any

SEVERAL SURPRISES.
Prosecution Will Produce Schmita and
Ruef Order.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 4. Eleven
juror hare been ecured to try Scbmit,
and there is a venireman in the twelfth
ehalr who will be examined a to his
qualifications when the trial is resumed
thi morning. That th remaining juror
will be secured out of the eight venire
men remaining of the panel is probable
a both side hav exhausted their
peremptory challenge , and may now
challenge for cause only.
In the line of expedition, the special
prosMitor announced that the actual
trial would begin immediately after the
jury shall have been empaneled which
means that the prosecution will get
down to the real business of proving the
charge on which the Mayor wa indict
ed, thi afternoon. .
It i understood that the prosecution
will spring several surprise in the line
of evidence against the defendant. One
of these novelties will include the pro
duction of the calendar used by the
board of police commissioner at the
time the renewal of the license of the
f rench reataurant to sell liquor were
before that body. The prosecution claims
it will prove, by the aid of these cal
endars, that there was a conspiracy, of
which Scfimlt and Ruef were the head,
and under which all the license were
programed by these two indicted defend
ants. These calendars, it is alleged,
contain the checkmarks and other writ
ten instruction of the Mayor and Ruef
to the police commissioner in respect
to the disposition of the applications
for license before them. It i claimed
by the prosecution that the commission
er wcer merely the tools of the mayor
end his "legal advisor" and simply
obeyed their Instruction in matter of
tli character.
