Show BAIL FOR MOVER, 1 NOT Fi PETTIBUNE I 'il Bond of Twenty-Five Thousand i Dollars Will Be Furnished in Cash by Butte Miners. TRIAL OF PETTIB0NE SET H FOR TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1 ) II Daily Papers of Boise Express i 9 Great Surprise at the Ver- M diet of Acquittal Wi BOISE, Ida., July 29. Charles IT, j MsM Mo3er, president of the Western Fed- LifH eration of Miners and co-defendant with pffl "William D. Haywood, acquitted yestcr- H da'- of tho murder of former Governor; Stcunenbcrg, was ordered released on $25,000 bail today by Judge Wood, -who presided at the Haywood trial. The at-lornoys at-lornoys for the Federation expected to havo the bond ready , for filing tonight, but the arrangements had not been wholly completed at a late hour and Pl Mover resigned himself to another nighfi fyl in .jail. ITo will probably be released EH tomorrow and will leave within twenty- iflfl four hours for his homo in Denver. lfl No application for bail was made in Bl the oaso or George A. Petlibone, tho HH third af the alleged conspirators, but il ;i motion was made for a speedy trial il and his case was ordered set down for ll Tuesday, Octobor J. Counsel intimated jH lodav that they might npply for bond for Pcttibonc later, but it "is not be- jfl licved that the State's attorneys will jfl consent. It has been generally claimed lfl that lho Slate has more incr'iininatiug evidence against Petlibone than any of the others, while it has been gencf- fl ally conceded that the case against Moyor is the weakest of the three. Tho lfl deteuse in tho Haywood case admitted lfl that there were a number of things for lfl Mr. Pcttibonc to explain as to Lis asso- tfl ciation with Harry Orchard and tho lfl sending of money to him. .but they said ifl it would be time enough to deaf with IH theso matters when Pettibouc himself jfl was placed on trial. jH Haywood Has Many Friends. Haywood today continued to tcccivo 'M many congratulatory telegrams from t all sections of tho country. They cania from individuals, from local unions of f the Western Federation, from all yl clhsses of labor unions and from various ihl Socialist organizations ajid leaders. rlfl Aside from the personal congratulations of the senders, the messages nave nearly LH all expressed tho sentiment that "labo'r flffl has triumphed oyer the oppressive mea- surcs of capital." M Haywood spent tho day at the cot- iH tape oectipjcd by his family and re gfl coived many callers. Ho expects to Ml leave for Denver on Thursday. J The matter of releasing Mover on bail "and fixing tho time of Pettibon'e 's trial ! came up before Judge Wood at 10 'iH o'clock this morning, but was postponed 'IH until 2 p. m, to allow further confer- lfl enecs between counsel for tho defenses IH and for the prosecution. Strenuous ef- 'll forts were made to secure tho consent; of the State's attorneys to the rcleaso of Petlibone, but witnout avail. Tho bi courtroom, with its empty jury box and benches, appeared far different from fl tho closing days of the trial when hull-dreds hull-dreds of people were turned away from every session. Moyer and Pcttibono wore brought into court at 2 o'clock. 11 Tho latter s wifo was present and broko KlH down aud cried when the order' was 111 made releasing Moyer and holding hor 11 husband. Tt was said tonight that Pet- lfl tibonc may be taken back to the Can- yon couniy jail at Caldwell until tho lH time for Ins trial arrives. The caso fll and the prisoners wero brought lo Boiso t9 six months ago on a ehnngc of veuuo iSI from Canyon to Ada county. ill Satisfied With $25,000 Bond. fll Attorney Darrow of Chicago mado Kl the formal application for Moyer 's re- jftsl lease and no -word of objection -was in- If J terposed by Senator Porah, renreseut- Kail ing tho Stale. When it came to fixing .the amount. Senator Borah named $25.- I&l nnn "That is rcasomtblo aud suits us," HI said Mr. Darrow, illgl Judge Wood said ho. would personalis HU1 approve the bond and would make if: IK I continuing so Moyer could remain at HI his home in Colorado until wanted. . pSi As lo Petlibone, Mr. Dnrrow urged tUl that tho earliest possible dato be fixed ifll for his trial. The next term of court UTI begins Sopt ember 4 and Judge Wood Pll said ho would like, to clear the calendar inl as far as possible before setting the oaso Hl for trial. October 1 was then set as rfl a date agreeable to all parties. Ul Bond tor Moyor is lo bo given in a flfl unique way, suggested by Attorno' Pe- 11 tor Breon of Butte, Mont., who has been Kl associated with the defense. The Butto wfl local of the Western Federation of Min- Sl crs is the richest in the organization and Mr. Breon said carries a deposit of from $100,000 to $140,000 conslantjy in jlfl tho bank. Arrangemonls were made by tflfl wire today by Mr. Brccn to havo tho Mfl Butte union mnko $25,000 subject lo lUI draft by the First "National bank of 'hmJI Boise. Some officer of the Boiso union will ElH sign the bail bond as surety. A tele- frH gram to Mr. Breon tonight said tho Il arrangements at Butto had been com- jjl plolod. Offered Other Security. JM "Wo wero offered personal . bond in fl several times the amount desired here in Boise." said Mr. Breon tonight, ''but; l we preferred not to impose upon any vll of. our friends to that extent when (ho I'l Butlc union has such a large surplus pl and was anxious for the honor of show- ujl ing its allegiance and confidence in tho ftl president of the Federation." IH Discussion of the verdict in the Hay- jH -wood case was widespread todn3', tho consensus of opinion being that lho jury had done its duty as it saw it and' rH should not be criticised. Editorial ffifl comment of tho local papers is to this Vifl effect, tho Daily Statesman saying: tflfl "The Statesman, in common with tho Kfl great mass of the people, regrets that fl tho trial of William D. Ha3'wood for fijM tho murder of formor Governor l-raulc Ufl II c I v ft' Steunenbor rosultod as it did.
