IIo spoke of tho disadvantage under which the defense labored, with both himself and Mr. "Wilson ill. "The action of counsel for the do-fcuso do-fcuso in submitting but a small amount of testimony and ninking no argument whatever to the jury -was a bold and audacious thing. But it was justified in the light of the vordict." he concluded. Mr. Harrow's health is slightly improved, im-proved, although he ib not by any means oat of danger. FEDEBATION OFFICIALS REJOICE AT THE NEWS. DENTER, Jan. 4. Tliero woro but few persons in the office of the Western West-ern Federation of Miners in thiB city today when news of Pettibone's acquit-tal acquit-tal was received and no demonstration, save expressions of satisfaction, v?aB made. Ernest Mills, acting secretary, is the onl- oflicor of tho Federation in tho city. 1 "We have been confident that Pet-tibouo Pet-tibouo would be found not guilty," said Mr. Mills. "There was not a particle par-ticle of ovidencc to connect either with a conspiracy to kill Governor Steunen-bcrg Steunen-bcrg or with a general conspiracy against tho foes of the miners' unions. We fool certain that this will end the conspiracy cases in Idaho and that Charles H. Moyer, president of tho Federation, will never be brought to trial. Now we shall sec what will bo done with Harry Orchard, on whoso unsupported un-supported word' tho cases against Mover, Mov-er, Haywood and Pettibono rested." Views of Haywood. William D. Haywood, sccrctar' of the Western Federation of Miners, who is on a six months' leavo of absence from his official position, arrived in . Denver tonight from the Northwest. When shown tho Associated Pross dispatch dis-patch in reference to the acquittal of Georgo A. Pe.ttiboue at Boise, ho said: "I feel like L had been acquitted again. This is .1 more corapleto vindication vin-dication than tho previous trial. There was no ovidencc introduced or argument argu-ment made by tho defense and tho prosecution was cognizant of everything every-thing wo had and it had months to strengthen its case. "It affirms what has always been contended by the Federation, that there was a conspiracy afoot engage'd in by the Mino Owuers" association to convict con-vict uk and thereby weaken organized fabor in the West. "I am equally jubilant at Petli-bono's Petli-bono's acquittal as my own; and notwithstanding not-withstanding the reiterated statement by Governor Gooding, it is now safe to presumo we'll all leave Tdaho alive." Mr. Haywood said Pettibono would probably go to tho coast for his health. The action of the Stato in dismissing tho case against Moyer, he said, was just what ho had oxp'ected. |
