TRY STEVE ADAMS TODAY.
RejKirt of Conspiracy to Free Alleged
Murderer.
Grand Junction, Cal., June 22.
Steve Adams Is here to be tried for
the murder of Arthur Collins, manag
er of the Smuggler-Union mine at Tel
lurlde, Sheriff Meldrum having arriv
ed with him at 2 o'clock Saturday
morning.
One hundred veniremen will be
summoned for the case, and in this
connection there has developed what
Is said to be one of the most carefully
laid plots ever mapped out by tho
Western Federation of Miners to free
Steve Adams. For more than a
month, it Is alleged, paid spies of the
federation have been coming Into
Mesa county and circulating literature
concerning the "persecution" of Ad
ams. Directed by the headquarters here,
the county has been thoroughly can
vassed by fluent talkers who have en
deavored to disguise their object, but
have Industriously circulated stories
of how mlneowners, after falling to
convict Haywood and Pettlbone, have
been moving heaven and earth to
hang Adams and terrorize the federa
tion.
Federation men have sought em
ployment in every Industry in the
county with the object of being drawn
on the Adams Jury. The orders from
headquarters are said to be to "go the
'limit to acquit Adams."
District Attorney Sellg, General
Bulkeley Wells and their associates In
the prosecution say they will defeat
the conspirators, and have made plana
to overcome the handicap the Inner
circle has placed around them.
