LAWYERS REVIEW CASE.
Defense Asks Court to Dismiss Hay
wood, But Is Refused,
Boise. Idaho. Juno 22. Yesterday
In the Haywood murder trial, after
tho stato had rested its caso in chief,
tho defenso mado n motion for an
instructed verdict, and there follow
ed tho first protracted argument of
the lone contest. It occupied n long
nftcrnoon session and was of tho
highest Interest, bringing out tho
radlcnl dlvergcnco between tho views
of tho state and those of tho defense
respecting- the governing law of tho
case.
On the side ot tho defense tho
claim was that thcro was no testi
mony to connect Haywood with tho
murder orvFrank stounenoerg, com
mltted by Orchard, an alleged occom
plica, of the defendant. Tho law re
specting the testimony of nn accom
plice was quoted and commented up-
on nnd it was claimed mere was no
testimony to connect Haywood with
Orchard in tho commission of this
net, excepting that of Orchard him
self, which could not bo accepted
Mr. Richardson mado a very ablo
argument along these lines. Ho went
over the testimony of most oil tho
witnesses, winding up his review of
tho narratlvo of each crlmo touched
upon with tho declaration that there
was nothing to connect Haywoou
with it.
Judge Wood immediately an
nounced bis decision refusing tho
motion.
''The court is thoroughly satisfied
that this caso should be submitted to
the Jury. If I felt differently I would
not hesitate to so rule."
Tho court then explained that ho
would not review tho evidence in a
written opinion, because there were
two more defendants to bo tried
later.
Court then adjourned until 10
o'clock Monday morning.

STORY OAOKEO UP.
Bank Records Show That Orchard
Told Truth.
Tdolse. Idaho. Juno 21. Yesterday
the stato proved by documentary evi
dence that money was sent Orchard
nt San Francisco from Federation
headquarters as ho testified. They
showed by tho records of the Postal
company at Denver that two remit
tances were made, ono by Wolff, Pot
tlbono's representative, nnd tho other
by P. Bone, tho latter namo being n
play on tho words. Orchard testified
that such a namo was often used by
Pcttlbone. Further, It Is understood
that n handwriting expert will testify
ut somo tlmo before the caso Is end
ed, that both applications were mnde
out by Pettlbone. An Interesting rea-
turo of those remittances Is that
Identification of tho pnyco was
waived In both cases.
Another link In tho chain of docu
mentary evldenco of payments has
been forged. A dispatch received
from tho First National bank states
that tho stub of tho $100 draft pur
chased for Slrapklns In December,
1905, showed It was secured on De
cember 21, tho day on which tho
money wns sent to Slrapklns for Or
chard, as shown by tho letter sent by
Pettibone to tho latter. In that draft
tho second figure of tho date had
been punched out. aud It was neces
sary to refer to the stub to determlno
that tho draft was Issued to Slmpklns
on the day that Pcttlbone gnvo as the
date on which tho money was sent.

tho Public Lands convention, which

tho present administration will until
Its end pursuo a policy ot fostering

Tho west, by reason of tho presi
dent's written declaration and state
ments mado In detail during tho last
fow days by Secretary of tho Interior
Garfield and United States Forester
Plnchot. will havo a much better un
derstanding of the administration's
intention with respect to a matter
that is second in importanco to no
other now occupying public atten
tion. Tho better understanding has
been Indicated already In the resolu
tions adopted by n convention or
ganized with In'ent hostllo to tho na
tional administration. Thoso resolu
tions do not In their entirety express
what conservative representatives of
the public lands states declaro would

west Itself If unrestricted expression
thereof had been pormlttcd In Den

NEW LAW IS DEAD LETTER.
Orocerymen Continue to Make Sale
of Poison for Sprays.
Salem That the law giving druggist
tho exclusive right to sell poisons will

that some of tho druggist have found

Some tlmo ago a druggist seemed un
