(EXPERTS DECLARE THE WRITING ALL PETTIBOBE'S WORK Applications for Money Ord

ers, It Is Stated on Witness Stand, Are Identical With Pettibone's Handwriting. STATE NEAR CLOSE OF ITS DIRECT EVIDENCE. sExpected There Will Be Much Important and Valuable Evidence Come in During The Rebuttal. Boise, June 21. The state called Charles S. Kinsley, a Boise attorney, ivrho qualified as a handwriting expert and examined the applications for anoney orders and Pettibone's hand"writing. He declared they were written by the same hand. Jim Leahorn, . liveryman, identified Haywood as the man with Orchard when he bought A horse. The state may rest its direct testimony against Haywood today. This does not mean, of course, that the prosecution has offered all the evidence It proposes to offer against the defendant. To the contrary, it is expected that much important and valuable evidence will be put in on rebuttal, while it is expected that many things of significance will be brought out on crossexamination of the defense and witnesses. It is not probable that the defense will open ita case before Monday. Attorney Darrow stated that after the close of the state's case the defense would have an important matter to present to the court before proceeding with the opening statement as to the line of the defense. This will be the notification that the defense will ,!move the court to instruct the jury to render a 'verdict of not guilty on the ground that the state has not sufficiently connected Haywood with the ifath of . former Governor Steunenberg. If this motion is denied the defense will ask for an adjournment until Monday, when Mr. Darrow will make the opening statement. Haywood Is Shaken. Thursday afternoon Senator Borah produced, a witness whose testimony shook up Haywood and his lawyer quite visibly. The surprise came when the witness announced that his name was W. T. Stuart and that he was a machinist, living in Baker City, Ore. Ia 1SIM, when the Coeur d'Alene troubles, which Governor Steunenberg suppressed, were in progress, Stuart was living in Silver City, Idaho, where lie was chief engineer of the Blaine mine. Haywood at that time was em S-Kyed In the mine and Stuart heard fm express himself several times re garding Steunenberg's action as gov rnor. When the witness was asked to tell "what he heard Haywood' say, Lawyer iTUchardson hopped ttp in great haste iwith, an objection and an argument to back It up. ' He fought hard, but the fcourt overruled the objection, and Stu art told of hearing Haywood talk one 'day In the timber shed of the Blaine 'mine. "The expression' that attracted my attention," said Stuart, "was that Steu nenberg was a tyrant and a monster ind should be killed. I am not posi tive of the exact expression, but I think that was it." Defense Strongly Objects. Immediately there was a roar from the counsel table of the defense. It inltimately resolved itself into this from Richardson: "Now, if your Honor please, we don't want to know what this witness thinks; we want what he knows, or nothing at all." Haywood sat back In his chair, his one good eye fixed on the witness, his mouth tightly closed and the muscles of his heavy jaw working convulseively as they always do when he is excited. "State your best recollection of what Haywood said," directed Senator Boran. There was perfect silence in the courtroom. Several of the jurors leaned forward in the effort to hear every syllable. "Haywood said." repeated Stuart, deliberately, "that Steunenberg was a tyrant and a monster, and should be fchould be" He stopped and reflected for a moiment. and then went on: "I think exterminated was the wordexterminated. That was the idea I am certain." Diff icult for Defense. Then Senator Borah proceeded to link Pettibone with the time up to Orchard's attempted crimes in San Francisco, the time he tried to kill Fred Bradley, and he did it so well it is hard to see how the defense can get away from it. This was done by the aid of the records of the Postal Telegraph company, and the testimony of V. B. IcCartney, who in l!)H..was cashier of the Denver otffce of the company. JlcCartney produced an application to transfer money and the telegram that ! actually did transfer it under date of S.--pt. -i, . The uefeu.se fought vij;crousiy to prevent the admission of all this evidence, but in vaiu. Judge I '"'" -.tnim-i in exinoiis arm ueded they were pertinent.

a Deep Interest In

REMOVAL PROJECT TO COME DP LATER No Action Now Toward Removing South Eighth St. Friends' Church. THE WEST SIDE WANTS IT. AT THE PRESENT TIME ALL THE INTEREST IS CENTERED IN THE AFFAIRS OF EARLHAM COLLEGE. "Is the proposition for removing the South Eighth Street Friends' church to the west side, dead," was asked of a prominent west side Friend. "No," he said. "Decideldy not. We members residing west of the river, and you know the larger per cent of the membership of the church resides there, are giving our attention to Earlham just now." "When are you contemplating movement on the proposition?" "It will necessarily have to be some time off as many of the members of the church are directly interested in Earlham, and we are bending our efforts to help the college now. As soon as these affairs are -brought about to our satisfaction the church proposition will be revived and we hope will be carried to a conclusion, and one which is satisfactory. We feel that the West Side is a logical place for the church, owing to the large membership there." "Is there any serious objection on the part of those members of the church residing east of the river V" was asked. "There is some obiection at the tirestime. was the answer. "but I think the east siders are looking at the proposition in a more favorable light than ever before. I thoroughly believe there will be no objections when the time comes for action. There of course, is a feeling of love for the old meeting house, as many very sacred ! remembrances surround it. but I do not think these should be allowed to interfere." The removal of the South Eighth Street church has been discussed for some months. HAS PAID THE PENALTY - At Mobile, Ala. Mobile, Ala., June 21.

PROFESSDRS BECOME FRIEND MINISTERS

Monthly Meeting's Favorable Action on Profs. Dennis and Hodgin. ACCEPT THE RESIGNATION. PROBABLE SOUTH EIGHTH ST. CHURCH WILL HAVE A NEW PASTOR BEFORE THE REV. CASE LEAVES. Professors David W. Dennis and Cyrus W. Hodgin. both of Earlham college, were officially made ministers of the gospel at the monthly meeting of the - South Eighth Street Friends church Thursday night. Both men have been doing considerable preaching during past years, but were never recognized as regular Friends' ministers. The resignation of the Rev. Clarence M. Case was accepted and it was re ported that the committee which had! charge of such affairs, is now consid-1 ering the applications of several other men for the position. It is highly probable the pastoral committee will have selected a pastor before the Rev. Mr. Case leaves for school'in the fall. During his stay in Richmond the Rev. Case has made many friends and has taken a leading part in civic and religious affairs. To him belongs the credit of originating Sunday jail services in this city and conducting services at the county jail. Again, he has been largely responsible for lifting the South Eighth Street church to a high position. Rev. Case is an original speaker. He is thoroughly in accord with many modern religious ideas and has propounded them from his pulpit. He is a broad thinker and the city will feel his loss as will the ; many organizations with which be has been closely identified since bis residence In Richmond. He is president of the State Christian Endeavor union. WESTCOTTS.WESTCOTT Divorce Hearing Will Be Held Next Tuesday.

FOR DRIER INDIANA SL ISS Sunday School Convention Favors Demand for State Liquor Legislation. REV. HUMPHREYS SPEAKS. IT WAS DECIDED TO FILE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AT AN EARLY DATE AND SIMPLIFY THE NAME. Kokomo, Ind., June 21. If the wishes of the Rev. U. G. Humphreys, state superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, are realized, Indiana will be a dryer state in 3912. "Indiana a Dryer State" is to be made the slogan for the Sunday schools of the state as announced yesterday before the eta te convention. The speaker said they could not enter politics but they could educate and accomplish indirectly, and that the children could be asked to persuade their parents to sign remonstrances against the liquor' traffic for the sake of the children, and to vote only for men In the next legislature who would stand for temperance legislation. Make Indiana Exempt. Assuming that the decision of Judge Artman, recently renderel, la not a fundamental law of the state, the Rev. Mr. Humphreys asserted that two things will be asked of the next legislature," and in this movement of reform he would except the co-operation of the Sunday school workers and pupils of the commonwealth. The legislature would be asked to pass a county local option law and a resolution for the constitutional amendment making Indiana ; exempt from the liquor evil. The i legislature would be expected to make this a separate question, as it is not one of politics. The speaker declared jthat the voters of the state might In this way give a direct expression of their honest views on the liquor question. I A great educational work, he said is to be considered, and the Sunday school children of the state will be provided with badges by the hundreds bearing temperance inscriptions. The speaker declared that the Sunday school teacher who found a temperance lecture oftener than once a month a bore, should be fired from i the Sunday school teaching force. Treasurer Elvin's report showed a balance of $1.66 fn the treasury. The receipts were $5,031.50 and the expenditures $3,029.N4. The convention raised $1,350. A class of 97 have received diplomas for finishing a course of three years in Sunday school work. Adama county was the banner one, furnishing 25 of the number graduating. The convention decided that articles of incorporation be filed In the near future with the secretary of state, and acting upon the suggestion of General Secretary E. W. Halpenny the present cumbrous name will be dispensed with and that of the Indiana Sunday School Association adopted. Three new departments are to be added missionary instruction, temperance organization and adult organized class work. HE ACCOMPLISHED MUCH V. J. Phillips Continues His Experiments. W. J.
