ings of the eourt.
Moyer on the Stand.
"Y Moyer was called thin morning after
/ "one more deposition was r« a<l and the de-
fense had attempted and tailed to get in
evidence as to the feeling toward former
Governor Pen body and the Western Fed-
eration of Miners. Mrs. Moyer was in
the eourt room when her husband took
the stand.
Mover said he had I a miner ever
since 1883. lie joined tie Western Fed-
eration of Miners in 1M»7 and was first
elected president in .fun*'. 190U, having
been re-elerted annually sinou that. lie
first met William 1> Haywood at the
3900 convention in Denver. Haywood was
chosen secretary-treasurer in 191>1.
Mr. Moyer said, as president, no bond
was required of him. but that Haywood,
as s< cretary-treasurer, was under a bond
of *30,000.
There were 22,000 members of the fed-
eration when Hoyer was elected in 1902.
"When he was arrested more than a year
ngo there were 30,"00 members and ac-
cording to this year's report there are
more than 4<».000 member. .
Moyer spoke with absolute self-poses-
sion. He seemed to weigh every word
of his answers.
"Has the organization had to defend
its members quite often?" Mr. Darrow
asked.
"Yes."
"And have there been many convic-
tions?" % ,
"Very few considering the number who
have had charges preferred against
them." „ , ..
"Where were you in 189? during the
Coeur d'Alenes trouble?"
"In the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Moyer said he did not beeome a mem-
ber Of the executive board until the
June following the troubles. He had
nothing to do with the ordering of the
strlk' Or anything else to do with it
other than as a member of the organiza-
tion After becoming a membei of the
board he had to vote on matters con-
cerning the latter part of the strike.
Didn't Know Steunenberg.
"Did you ever know Governor Steunen-
berg?"
"No sir."
"Ever seu him."
"No sir."
"Did you ever entertain any personal
hostility toward him?"
"No sir." .
Mr. Darrow next tool: the witness to
the Cripple Creek district of Colorado an I
the beginning of the labor strike there.
The strike started at. Colorado < ity hi
Februarv W03. It extended t<> Cripple
Creek in 1003. the men were going out
in support of the Colorado City mill men.
The Strike spiead to Telluride in S» ptem-
b« r, l.xw, the mil! nv i there going out
tor an eight-hour day.
Food after the strike was called at
Cripple Creek Mover said lie an I Hoy-
woorl went to a dares?-, the miners at a
picnic in Pinnacle Park.
"I urged the men to be careful about
any acta of violence or acts which might
r be charged ag.iinst them and used against
the organization," said Moyer.
The troops went into the. Cripple Creek;
district Sept. 4. 1!X>4.
"What was the condition as to peace
ar.d quiet at that time?" asked Darrow.
The £"tat "• objected to this as a con-
clusion of the witness. The question
was finally allowed an.i Moyer declare!
the men were going peaceably about
their business and there was no disor-
der."
Moyer said he first met Steve Adams
at the Pinnacle Park picnic.
"When did you first meet Harry Or-
chard'.1"'
"In January, 1904 at the headquarters
of the Western Federation of Miners."
"Did he come into your office in De-
cember, 19":!. and tell you he had Mown
up the Vindicator mine, and did you pat
him on the back and tell him he had done
a gor-j job and give him $400?"
Denies Orchard's Story.
"No sir," replied Moyer positively. "I
never saw the man until January, 1904."
"Did you ever give him $100 at any time
or place?"
"To the best of my recollection," re-
plied Moyer deliberately, "I never gave
Orchard any money for any claim or for
any other purpose.
"Did< you ever know of bis getting any
money from the organization for any
crime or criminal act?"
"No sir."
"Did you say in the train wrecking
case that you wanted no mention made,
of the 'Petlibone dope?' "
'I had never heard of such a thing
at that time,"
The next time the witness saw Orchard
was in 1904.
' He came to my office in Denver along
with three or four other men who said
they had decided to pull out of Cripple
Creek. I told him I was making prepara-
tions to go down to Ouray myself and
that I would be glad to have him wait
and go with me. 1 told him several other
men had been beaten up down there and
I would like to have Mm with ine as a
protection. I got Mr. Pottibone to buy
guns for us. I had known him since 1900."
"Was your shotgun used to kill Lyte
Gregory?"
"No. sir."
"Has it ever been fired?"
"No, sir. I left it in Denver at the
time of my arrest with the remainder of
my belongings."
At the afternoon session Moyer said he
asked the Sheriff who arrested him at
Ouray if he had a warrant. He said
no; that he had acted on a telephone
communication from T» lluride. When
he was taken to Tellurkle Mover said he
was charged with desecration of the
American Flag, it being claimed that ho
had used the flag for advertising
A paper poster containing In big letters
"Is Colorado America?" was here intro-
duced before the jury. Each stripe of
the flag contained a statement.
Released on $500 bond, Mover said he

p repared to leave Telluride for Denver,
when lie was arrested by the military
a utljorities.
Put in the Bull Pen.
"I was then taken to the bull pen,"
said the witness. "I tried to find out
many times why I was detained, but no
one could say other than that it was
upon orders of the commander »n chief
of the militia."
Moyer told of the militia having re-
fused to obey a writ of habeas corpus
issued by Judge Stevens of the Colorado
State Court. lb* was flnalh released on
a writ of habeas corpus but was rear-
rested and held two days on a charge
of murder. There was never any hear-
ing of any sort on this charge.
Moyer said he was next arrested on a
charge of riot and the murder of Roxey
McGee at Victor, Col., June t}, 1904.
"Where were you on June 1901?"
"I was in the bull pen at Telluride, 200
miles away/'
Witness also said he was arrested for
the murder of McCormiek and Beck, who
were killed in the Vindicator mine. He
was taken to Cripple Creek on this
charge. He was released on bond after
a few days in jail and never called for
trial.
At the time of the Independence depot
explosion Moyer said he was in the bull
pen at Telluride.
Harry Orchard came to see him in his
Office June Z'», 19U4, and asked him out
to have a drink. When Moyer was
through with his work the two men went
out to dinner together and had a few
glasses of beer. Moyer said that after
this occasion he never saw Orchard again.
Moyer denied that Orchard was ever
at hks house in the Aberdeen Flats, and
also flatly denied Orchard's statement
that the witness and Haywood ami Petti-
bone and Orchard met in Petti bone's back
yard iti August. 1905. and discussed the
k'lling of Governor Steunenberg.
Moyer told of having come to Silver
City. Idaho, in October, 1905, to visit the
local unirns of the Western Federation
of Miners. He did not stop in Caldwell;
he did not know there was such a place
at tie* time. He knew nothing of the
whereabouts of Orchard or Slmpkins at
the time.
Never Received Letter From Orchard.
"Did non ever receive a letter from
Harry Orchard at Butte asking you for
$loo?"
"No : ir. I never received any letter
from Orchard from any place, or any
telegrams either."
Moyer declared that lie had never heard
threats against Governor Steunenberg.
lie knew absolutely nothing about the
assassination in advance and had hover
heard his death discussed.
January 4, 190t», Moy« r said a %*her tel-
egram was received from Spokane. The
federation had had a cipher code ever
since its organization and i;s< • I it in the
general transaction of business. The
message was from Jar k Slmpkins an 1
translated read as follows: 'Spokane,
January 4. 100*5: Cannot get lawyer to
defend I-Togan. Answer. L. J. Slmpkins."
Moyet said Simpkins was a member of
the executive board, who had charge .»f
the. Idaho district, and it was his duty
to take • are of any trouble. Simpkin*
was implicated by Orchard In his at-
tempt.1: on Governor Steunenberg and

GALVESTON/ Tex., July 10.—Meager
reports of an attempted train wreck on
the Calveston, Houston & Henderson
Road b< tween Lamarque and Highland
Park, reached here tonight.
It appears that the north-bound Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas passenger train,
out of Galveston at 7:05, ran into an ob-
struction on the track which proved to be
a pile of rock:-. Fortunately the obstruc-
tion was sighted in time to slack the
train before any serious damage was
done.
A warning nn sago was sent ahead
to the south-be nd Galveston, Houston
and Hcnder.-on passenger train leaving
Houston at 7:;'»u p. m. But at a point
north of where the Katy tram encoun-
ter* d the obstruction, the Galveston,
Houston and Henderson train ran into
another lot <»f rocks placed upon the
tracks.
Sheriff Thomas and hi# deputies are at
work on the case and it is reported the
<.ffi« rs have struck a clue. One report
had it that it was the work of boys,
while another report declared it to have
been a deliberate attempt to wr«-ek either
the Ivaty or t'n Galveston, Houston &
Henderson, or ho'li trains. Tt is believed
that the plot wns laid for the Galveston,
Houston Henderson train.

TORREON, Mex., July 10.—A gentleman
who has been recently on an extended
trip through the mining districts in the
States of Chihuahua and Duiango says
that the various camps in those States
are ail in a very flourishing condition.
Especially in the northern part of the
State of Chihuahua there is a vast sum
of capital invested in mining properties
by Americans and that more is coming
ail tiie time.
Among V. . C. Greene's propositions in
the Sierra Madra district he says, and
also in the Santa Eulalia, extensive prep-
arations are now unjer way from which
will result heavy shipments In the very
near future.
This .same gentleman pointed to the.
fact that the Santa Iailalia district,
which district is located about fifteen
miles from the City of Chihuahua, is esti-
mated to have produced sinco its dis-
covery by the Spaniards in 170;? more
than §900,000,000, more than any other
mining district in Mexico.
In the Guanaeevi district it the San
Pedro mine the mill is now running to its
fullest capacity and J« paying good divi-
dends. The Guanaeevi Company. Limit-
ed, is making- extensive improvements
under the management of Mr. Ayton,
who was formeriy w'th the Guanaeevi
Tun not Company.
All that the camp lat ks, this gentle-
man saiil, is railroad tacilities. the near-
est shipping point being seventy miles

Pritehard of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, in an opinion handed
down today, continued the restraining or-
der preventing the uniform 2-cent pas-

The question is involving the jurisdic-

fix the rate governing; the operations of
railroads in Virginia, and the opinion
was handed down as a result of argu-
ments held in Asheville recently. The
case will now be fought out on its merits
and it is understood that no matter how
the United States Circuit Court of Ap-
peals may decide the case finally will
be fought out in the Supreme Court of
the United States.
The Southern Railway was requested
to furnish bond in the sum of $200,000,

company that the diminution oil receipts
as a result of the decreased rates would
be $135,000. The Norfolk & Western Rail-
way furnished bond in the sum of
$275,000.

holds the action of the State Corpora-
tion Commission in adopting the 2-cent
rate. The railroads in question are now
issuing rebate coupons with all tickets
sold at more than 2 cents per mile.
