HAYWOOD NOT GUILTY
Boise, July 29 ? After deliberating tor more that
twenty-four hours, during which time on several oc
casions it looked ;us if they would become divided aud no
verdict arrived at. the Haywood jury came into court
this morning and returned a verdict finding William D.
Haywood, not guilty. As soou as the Clerk had read
the verdict Haywood was set free. He was at once sur-j
rounded by a great crowd of people who sought to grasp
his hand. The first to be greets by him was his invalid
wife, who had been iu attendance during the entire trial.
The verdict was a great suprise to everyone in Boise, in
eluding Haywood, Moyer and- Petti bone. A motion will j
be made this afternoon to have Moyer and Pettibone re
leased on bail. The Western Federation of Miners staud
willing to furnish half a-million dollars in cash as a bond.
Haywood will leave tonight for his home in Denver.
At Denver a mouster demonstration is being arranged by
workingmen for him when he arrives. The case was the
most expensive that has e\er been conducted by a West
ern state. Idaho's treasury is poorer by more than two
hundred thousand dollars than it was before the trial
began and the Western Federhtion of Miners and allied
trades unions have spent almost an equal amount. Gen
eral demand is heard on all sides in Idaho,, that Orch
ard, the mau who confessed that he killed Governor
Frank Steunenburg, be made pay at once for his crime.
It is likely that the case against the other defendants,
who have been in jail with Haywood, will be dismissed,
as it appears impossible to convict in view of the result
of the present case. James McPartland, the head of the
Denver agency of the Piukertons,who managed the secur
ing of evidence for the state, left for Denver today. He
would not discuss the result of the case,
