STATE EXPECTS TO
CLOSE CASE TODAY
The Prosecution in the Haywood Case
Proposes to Close for the State
Today Unless Unexpect-
edly Delayed
WILL MOVE TO DISCHARGE
Haywood on the Ground that lie Has
Not Been Connected with the
Murder of Steunenberg
by the Evidence
TO BE ARGUED WHEN ST ATE CLOSES
BoIkc, Uttho, .lime 20.—Unless
there should he unforeseen delay in
securing a couple of final pieces of
evidence, the state will tomorrow
close its ease against William D. Hay-
wood, whom it charges with the mur-
der or Frank Stetmenherg. This an-
nouncement was made this afternoon
hv one of the special speakers and
when Clarence Harrow of the defense,
took up the discussion of the arrange-
ment of time, he made it very cleat
that directly after the state closed,
he and Ills as oeintes would move the
court for an instruction directing a
verdict of acquittal.
It Is now anticipated that the state
will dose by noon, that the afternoon
session will he devoted to argument
of the expected motion and if the
court rules adversely on the motion,
the opening statement in behalf of
Haywood will be made.on Saturday
by Mr, Harrow
The prosecution succeeded today in
again showing a direct connection
with the stor. of I'etUhone in Denver
and Harry Orchard at work on the
Bra Hey .crime in San Francisco, anti
promises to make .he connection with
Bettibone personally by handwriting
experts who will he called tomorrow
Original records of the‘Pacific Postal
Telegraph company were produced
showing that in September and Octob-
er, i90 4. remittances of $97.50 arid $18
respectively were made, the first by
",!. Wolff" and die second by "P.
Bone” from 1725 Stout street In Deli-
ver—the address of Pettibone's store-—
to "H. Green" in care of Peter L. Huff
at 211 Taylor street. San Francisco.
XV. McCartney, who was cashier of
the Denver office of the Postal Tele-
graph company in the fall of 1901.
came here from Cheyenne to identify
and explain the records that showed
the remittances. The exhibits in-
cluded Doth the application forms and
telegrams of instruction ordering the
payment of the raonev at San Fran-
cisco. "J. Wolff" and “P. Bone”
both waived the identification of “IT.
Green” at, San Francisco and it is
claimed that, the handwriting in both
instances is ihe same and that it is
'the same as in the letter Pettibone
wrote to the Mutal Life Insurance
company, when Orchard joined that
corporation as a solicitor,
The slate also showed that while
a-r Silver City, Idaho in 1899. Haywood
declared that Steunenherg was a
tyrant and a monster who should he
exterminated, and by dames Kirwin,
acting secretary-treasurer of the fed-
eration, that Jack Simpkins and
Marion Moore were made members
of the executive hoard of the federa-
tion in 1905. and that control of all
expenditures made by ihe organiza-
tion was vested in the president and
secretary-treasurer.
For the rest it was a day of reading,
with Senator Borah as first reader.
.Judge Wool admitted many of the
strongly worrier articles'wf the Miners'
Magazine in which Frank Steunenherg
was bitterly denounced anti as one
after another they were let in Borah
read them to the jury.
These were admitted as showing
the animus of the federation against
Steunenherg and showing animus
against .Justices Goddard and Gab-
hen of the supreme court of Colorado,
whom Orchard swore he tried many
times to kill. The state introduced
in evidence the decisions of tnose
judges on the Coiora lo eight hour law
and the habeas corpus applications
of Charles H. Moyer.
The defense insisted that Borah
reait every “word in both decisions and
in the first which took 45 minutes io
go over was read before the noon re-
cess ami cleared the court of al! save
those whose duty required them to
stay. The other was read with like
effeci soon before adjournment for
the day. Then Attorneys Richardson
and Harrow called for the dissenting
opinion In the Mover case, as i mat-
ter of fairness and demanded that
Borah read that also. .Judge Wood
took pltv on the
Colorado, published in the Miners’
Magazine, were read to the jury An
important article road was entitled
"The Passing of Steunenherg.1' It
appeared in the issue of danuary, 1901.
In this editorial epithets without
stint wire applied to Steunenherg.
who is charged with getting rich on
the greasy dollars of the Standard
Oil' company and mine owners whose
servant he has always been."
Condemning Steunenherg as a vile
thing, deserving only of contempt,
hatred and political death, the article
bids farewell to "the creature over
whose political tombstone should be
inscribed the words. 'Here lies a hire-
ling and traitor.' "
■Judge Wood allowed the state to in-
troduce a decision by the supreme
court of Colorado declaring uncon-
stitutional the eight-hour day .Judg-
Goddard participated in the decision.
When luncheon adjournment was
taken. Senator Borah announced that
the stale would undoubtedly close tie
morrow.
Afternoon Session.
After recess Senator Borah offered
in evidence a decision of the suprem-
court of Colorado in the case of
Charles H. Moyer, defiying a writ of
habeas corpus to the president of the
Western Federation of Miners. The
opinion was written by Chief Justice
Gabbert and, was identified for file
purpose of Showing alleged animus
of itie federation against tin- jurist
whose life was attempted by Ha-ry
Orchard. The reading of the d--<i-
sion of Ihe court was dispensed with
for the time being to enable the stale
to call to the stand James Kirwan,
acting secretary of the Western' Fed-
eration of Miners in the absence at
Haywood.
He was merely asked as to the rules
of the secretary-treasurer of the or-
ganization and as to the membership
of the executive hoard in different
years. He was excused without cross-
examination and returns to Denver to-
night.
k. M. Stuart, a machinist of Baker
OHv, formerly a chief engineer of the"
Trad* Dollar mine at Silver City, was
called to testify as to a conversation
lit: had with Haywood iti 1899.
"Mr. Haywood said Govt rnor Steu-
nenberg was a tyrant and monster
and ought to lit killed—I believe ex-
terminated .was the word he used."
said Hie witness.
Cross-examined by Richardson,
Stuart said that criticism of Govehioi
Steunenherg was common among the
miners at Silver City, because l.mifl
miners were in tin- "hull pen" at the
time and were 'held without trial.
Asked li.ow it was lie remembered
what Haywood said. Stuart replied'.
"i had always looked on Mr. Hay-
wood as a model citizen and was sur-
prised to hear him say what he did."
Haywood made several such ut-
terances thereafter, but so far as his
conduct was concerned, he remained a
model citizen.
The state then introduced the origin-
al records of the Postal Telegraph
company, showing that while Orchard
was in San Francisco in September
and October, 1901. money was trans-
ferred from Pettibone's store tn Den-
ver to him.
Senator Borah said this ended the
state's case with the exception of
some records front the Denver office
of the Western. Colon Telegraph com-
pany which art expected tomorrow If
they arrive the stale will close by to-
morrow noon.

Denver, Colo June 20.—The first
public land convention ever held catno
to au end late this afternoon with
the adoption of a series of resolution#
which wert* not so radical as expected.
A letter from President Roosevelt
was a feature of today’s Hess ion.
The resolution causing the most
dispute read.
We oppose any change in the exist*
iug laws and customs as to grazing
livestock upon the public domain,
outside o| forest reserves.”
'Ill* resolutions say that experience
has demonHtrated the wisdom of the
police of treating tin* lands of rha
nation as a public trust to be di.stiox-
* d of mi all cases and wherever po.s-
ible 111 actual settlers The p«H»pl«
of the west are unalterably opposed
to any change in this wholesome and
beneficial pulley Forest reserves
