Not in the slightest degree, in fact, has the state, in the minds of hunand dreds of intelligent people of this city, connected William D. Haywood or the Federation with the murder of the late governor, and it is not thought that it will yet be able to establish a case and secure a conviction. A number of the leading lawyers here, who evidence more clearly understand than does the average citizen outside of the legal profession, contend that the state has failed to "make good," and they give it as their opinion that the defendant will be promptly acquitted. And all of this in the face of the fact that the defense has only had a few witnesses on the stand. Sentiment here has changed materially since the case opened, and public is conscience generally apparently not inclined to accept the awful story of Harry Orchard implicating the defendant or the Western Federation of Miners in numerous crimes without a large measure of discount. rel-itiv- u Hay-woo- highly-respecte- OF HAYWOOD COST New Orleans.
