HAYWOOD'S OEFEIISE

His Lawyers Begin by Laying a Further Foundation for Impeachment of Orchard,

EIS REPLIES DO NOT HESITATE

Witnesses Swear That He Threatened to Kill Ex-Gov. Steunenberg.

Others Testify to Hid Frequent Con. .ultatioug with Detectives of the Mine Owners Independence Station explosion.

iloise, Ida.. June 2fl. The first C.b tect testimony la defense of William D. Haywood has been offered, aud it "wn chiefly directed toward slowing that Harry Orchard, blaming Frank JSteunenherg for the loss of h:s interff.t La the Hercules mine, bad threatened to Lave revenge by killing him, and that theeonduet of Orchard and Sterling, both before the Independence eiplosioa, when they were frequently eon together, end afterwards, when Sterling called off bloodhounds that were following Orchard's trail. justiEed the inference th:;t the mine owners Inspired the crime. Orchard Called on Again. The rallies' of the first witness for the defense was preceded by a further examination of Orchard to penr.it .the defense to complete Its formal Im- ' peaching questions. These question were nearly all in connection with the allegation that Orchard tilled Steunenberg because of an alleged grudge growing out of the sale of his interest 1n the Hercules mine. Orchard, maintained bis old calmness and spok? in the low pitched, soft tone. He again .(denied that he ever thrrntened to kill iStennenberg because of the Hercules imlne. and again asserted that he sold ..fcis interest in the mine two yeais be'fore the trouble tka throve him out of northern Idaho. Witnesses Contradict Him. i Two witnesses called later in the day swore that Orchard did threaten to kill Steunenberg because of the Hercules matter, and the defense has prepared the way for such testimony from a dozen more witnesses. The two lieard were F. It. Keel, once r.f Cripple Creek, and now of Goldtield. Nev., nnd Charles A. Sullivan, formerly of Cripple Creek, nnd now a watchman lu the Drown hotel in Denver. Redd eild he heard Orchard make the state

ment and threat in the miners' hall in Cripple Creek, nnd Sullivan swore that while he and Orchard were fellow boarders at John Neville's place in Cripple Creek Orchard repeatedly said that but for Steunenberg he would be a rich man and that he intended to kill tirn.

CALLED OFF THE RLOODIIOUXD Itailway Detective Said Steve Adamg Blew Up the Mine. The cross-examination showed that tioth were members of tin- Western Federation of Minors, and that Sullivan was a friend of Haywood, Mover and many of the union leaders at Cripple Creek. Dr. I. E. Mr-Gee. a mining broker of the Cocar d'Alenes. another Impeaching witness, swore that Orchard told him in 1D04 at Wallace, Ida., that he was a "spotter" for a detective agency. Orchard denied this conversation; denied that he was in Idaho at any time in 11)04. Several (Witnesses, principally women, who Ikept lodging houseu at Cripple Creek, located Orchard at various conferences ..with Sterling, the detective for the inline Owners' association, prior to the .Independence explosion.and there was a further showing as to .neeiiags between Orchard and 1). C. Seott. the 'detective for the Florence and Ciipple 'Creek railway. Another witness toid of the effort to locate the men guilty of the Independence station outrage by starting a bloodhound from the chair rung used In pulling off the mine explosion, lie said the dog took the read to Colorado Springs, the one over which Orchard tied in the night, nnd that when he reported to Sterling he tut orders to call the dog off. Sterling said he knew who blow up the station, and later said that Steve Adams bad done so. The state fought the admission of the bloodhound story, and also opposed the admission of evidence covering general features of the Colorado la!or Uaw, but in both Instances the court Tuled with the defense. One of the witnesses did not come Tip to the expectations of the defer.se. Ira lilizzard. contracting agent for tin1 Florence and Cripple Creek railroad sit the time of the Independence depot explosion, said he immediately went there and saw the wire and chair rung jWh'.ch served as clues. The defense !alb:ges that the Independence station w.-!.s all but an abandoned affair and 'that its destruction might have been planned by others than the Wester Federation of Miners. "What sort of a depot was it?' asked iV.rrow of the witness. "The depot was in good condition." replied Iiliznrl. "It was a nice, up-to-date, station, witli a good waiting room. It had a platform in front of it." Wizard declared that the Independence d j o; was used as a stopping place, but there was no ticket agent there. County Council Is Censor. Tendon. June 26.

Houston, Va., June 20. Between stifling sobs, with tears streaming from her bright blue eyes, and while striving to hold back the huge lump In her throat. Miss Elizabeth Lov ing, who occupied the center of the stage in tho trial of her father. Judge William G. Loving, for the murder of Thiodorw F.stes, told on the witness stand here

her story of her alleged outrage by the youn man whom her parent sii t down. The recital was probably the most dramatic ever heard in a Virginia court of justice, and rivaled the story told by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw of her ruin by Stanford White. Same Story Told ller Father. It was the same story, she said, she tolu to her father on the morning of the tragedy, aud which culminated in his hunting down and slaying the man whom she charged with perpetrating the deed. Estes, she said, bad given her a drink of whisky from a flask he had in his pocket while they were out buggyriding on the afternoon prior to the killing. After taking the drink she declared that she immediately 1 egan to feel dizzy, and her head "spinned around" as if she had been given some powerful drug. Her Screams Were Not Heard. In this condition, and despite her protests, she declared that her escort drove her over an unfrequented mad, and despite her screams outraged her. Exhausted by the struggle, and her mental faculties rendered incapable from the stimulant the witness declared that she recalled nothing more until she regained her senses while iu bet1, late that night at the home of County Clerk E. L. Kidd. where she had been visiting Miss Kidd. Related on Bended Knees. She testified that on the following morning, when her father asked her for the cause of her being brought to the home of Kidd in an unconscious and drugged condition, she relate 1 to him on bonded knees the same statement she made in court. It was this recital, declared the defense, which so affected the mind of Judge Loving that it impelled him to commit n crime, which, according to his statement could have been prevented by no power "except God Almighty." WILL IIEll STO.UY STAND

Prosecution Says It Will Not ; That It

Is Impossible. Whether the story told by the 20-year-old girl can be torn to pieces and disproved by the prosecution remains to be seen, and on the disproving of this story hangs the fate of the defendant. The state alleges that it can be shown that the outrage laid at tho door of the man whose? lips are sealel forever was impossible. The rehuttal evidence by the prosecution will I e probably the most important though not the most sensational feature of the

case. How much of the evidence it already has can be introduced is yet to be determined, and a legal battle oa the point of admissibility will be waged, as the defense has already announced Its case Is nearing an end. When Miss Loving took the stand to testify the falling of a pin coul 1 almost have been hoard. Miss Loving w?.s weeping. For the first few minutes she had to be allowed to stop at intervals in order to dry the tears which continually ran down her face. During the recital several of the attorneys for the defense, and Judge Loving, his young son. and Mis Annie Snead. sister of Mrs. Loving, gave way to tears. Miss Loving admitted that she had taken two drinks with young Estes during the drive, the first one being while at Estes' store. She was asked about other other occasions when It is charged that she drank whisky, but the defense objected on the ground that it hr.d no bearing on the crse. The prosecution waived the questions for the present, but may insist upon sin-liar ones later in the trial. Aside from the testimony of the young girl, the ex

amination of two physicians concern-

mi; un- iii?aijn ui .1 uute Lov ing at the time of the kiliing, and the testimony of the defendant and Harry Snead were features of the trial. Judge Loving's testimony was a repetition of the story Elizabeth fold on the stand a story she had told him tho morning he shot young Estes to death and its effect on the judge practically to makehim wild for Estes' blood. Snead was the man who first told Loving what, as alleged bad happened to his daughter, and he toli thi court the story again. The two physicians Dr. Wlliam Timstall and Dr. II. B. Melvfn t. stifled that Loving was probably Insane while he was committing the deed, an insanity brought on in part by excessive use of Intoxicants. In this feature jlso the case presents a marked resemblance to the Thaw case. In his testimony Judge Loving declared he had not touched whisky for two months previous to the tragedy.
