Senator Borah, who made the closing plea for conviction, was not present. Of the prisoner's counsel those In the coifrt room were Clarence Darrow of Chicago, E. F. Richardson of Denver, and John F.

No member of the prisoner's family, nor any of hla friends among the Solacialist writers and the bor Jury who have been attending the trial, was In the court room at the early hour the verdict was returned.

Lelevler and bia son were taken to Noco and jailed. given an absolutely fair and Impartial trial and that Idaho had indeed reason to be proud of herself. Haywoods First Thought of His Mother. Haywood's first thought was of his aged mother, who on Saturday had suffered a complete nervous breakdown after the jury bad retired. Leaving the courtroom In company with Attorney Nugent, be walked down to the jail portion of the building, shaking bands as he went with the guards, employees and friends who bad arrived on the scene. He bade farewell to Moyer, who,' when he heard the verdict said, Thats good, and never stopped shaking, ami to Pettibone, whom Darrow desertbed to the Jury as a sort of and who called, happy Hooligan, Give my regards to Broadway. Then Haywood walked to St. Luke's hospital and unannounced rushed Into his mother's room. So great was the tonic upon the elderly lady that at night sjpe was up and about and happy. Next Haywood went to the little cottage where bis wife and daughters have been stopping. He had parted with Attorney Nugent at the hospital gate and left alone In Boise got all but lost, and had to Inquire his way from Once home, Haywood passers-by- . said: I want to thank the people of Boise for their kindness to my wife, my mother, my family and my friends. There has been widespread sympathy here for Mrs. Carruthers, the prisoners mother. Senator Borah, for Instance, when first apprised of the I feel glad for verdict, said: mother," Verdict Was Expected. The probability of a verdict of acquittal In the case of the secretary-treasure- r and acknowledged leader of the Western Federation of Miners, had been freely predicted since Saturday, when Judge Fremont Wood read his charge, which was regarded as strongly favoring the defense In its Interpretation of the laws of conspiracy, circumstantial evidence and the corroboration of an accomplice who confesses. It was also freely predicted that In the event of Haywoods acquittal the state would abandon the prosecution of bis associates, Charles II. Moyer, the president of the federation, and George A. Pettibone of Denver. Statements from counsel and from Governor Gooding issued Sunday dispel this view of the situation. Governor Gooding said: The verdict la a great surprise to me, and I believe to all citizens of Idaho who have heard or read the evidence in the case. I have done my duty. I have no regret as to any action I have taken, and As long as my conscience is clear. God gives my strength I shall continue my efforts for government by law and organized society. The state will continue a vigorous prosecution of Moyer and Pettibone and Adams and of Simpkins when apprehended. There will be neither hesitation or retreat. Orchard Ready for Punishment. Not the least Interesting of the comments made upon tbe verdict was that of Harry Orchard, the murderer of Governor Steunenberg and the witness upon whom the sUle chiefly relied to prove Its claim of a sinister conspiracy against tbe Western Federation of Miners. When told Hay-wood- '8 d would have never had any fear and behave expressed yesterday tbe saute arrested, first when lief I expressed an that is: That with a fair trial and would be verdict the impartial Jury counsuch as has been given to the WHAT try. Senator Borah treated me moii fairly and I appreciate It. to "Judge Wood was eminently fair me and T have extended to him my thanks for his treatment of me during tbe ordeal of this trial. I do not In any way blame Governor Gooding for the position be took. In closing, 1 wish to express appreciation of the wonderful support given to me by the presence In the courtroom during the trial of the representatives of labor, Industrial and political organizations. Views of Counsel. James H. Hawley, leading counsel for the state, left Sunday night for the we5t, under doctors orders. Imrenmediately after the verdict was dered he went to his home, Mr. Hawthe ley has broken considerably under struln of the trial and preferred not to make a statement as to tbe out Enormous Sum Expended n th T of Labor Leader for Complied Murder of steun. ! no I have Senator Borah said: comment to make other than that twelve good men and true to the state of Idaho have passed upon the case, and that disposes of It so far as the state of Idaho and Haywood ate concerned. The prosecution of the other men indicted will be pushed vigorously and without any reference to the Hay- wood trial. F. Richardson, one of Haywood's We have had leading counsel, said: a fair trial. We have had an Impartial and conscientious Jury and impartial We have and conscientious1 judge. had the most vigorous and effective counsel opposed to us that It has ever been my fortune to meet.
