THE VOLUME 4 CARBChVDALE. ILLINOIS. WEDNESDAY. JULY 10 1907. NUMBER 230 THE WORLD S3Y ft i 1 "'Ci OP IMF, DAY Ih III rl.ND P'OWEIGN LANDS STATE OBJECTS TO TESTIMONY HAYWOOD ATTORNEYS ATTEMPT TO PROVE MCPARTLAND MANI UFACTURED TESTIMONY.

TALKED TO NEWSPAPER MAN Almost the Entire Day Was Given Over to the Reading of Rest of the San Francisco Depositions. Boise, Idaho, July de- Tense in the Steunenberg murder case Tuesday charged that Detective Jas. MoPartland bas been guilty of an attempt to manufacture testimony agairst William Haywood, but was unsuccessful in getting the basis and details of tbe charge before tbe court and jury. Alva A. Swain, a newspaper corre- who represents UK- Pueblo Chieftain at Denver, was culled to the stand and questioned as to a conversation he hud with Detective McPartland in Denver hist fall.

Senator Borah, for the state, objected to the conversation 01:1 the ground that no foundation had been laid for it. Clarence Darrow, for the defense vho was examining Swain, explained that the testimony was offered for the of showing that there exist ed a conspiracy between the mine owners and the Pinkertons to secure ft conviction and execution of the pris. oner. "McPartland approached this wit ness in as attempt to manufacture testimony," he declared, "and be lieve we have a right to show it." State's Objection Sustained. Judge Wood said there was nothing In the evidence that furnished a proper foundation for the introduction of such testimony and sustained the State's objection.

The defense took on exception and said they would another attempt to secure the of Swain's testimony. Counsel for the defense are evidently counting on reaching tbe matter through McPartland himself, but it Is quite probable that the state will not call McPartland as a witness. 31. Is claimed by the defense that McPartland told Swain that he had a letter from Harry Orchard saying that Haywood paifl him for the Vindicator job he took him to one of the Denver banks to draw the money and that when they came out of the bank Swain was standing at the door and eaw them. It is said that'Swain told McPartland he could not remember tbe incident whereupon McPartland Impressed him with the importance of.

it as evidence and significantly lirged him to recall It and become witness in the case. Detective McPartland denies that he ever suggested anything improper to Swain. He says he got the letter described by Orchard, who wrote that Swain was at the door oit the bank on the day in question, there be- irfg a run on the bank and that he "believed Swain might remember having seen them. He says that when he went to see Swain tbe latter said he would not fell whether he remembered the incident or not and asked ifor another Interview. McPartland declares that lie there dropped the matter and did not again see Swain.

More Witnesses Heard Threat. Allen F. Gill, formerly master mechanic of the Tiger and Poorman 'mine and later city engineer of Spokane, and his wife, Mrs. Gill, were also witnesses foiv the defense Tuesday. Thsy jointly related that Har- 'ry Orchard attempted to sell them bis interest In the Hercules mine in February and March, 1899, which was prior to his departure from the Conor d'Alenes, and Mr.

Gill, who saw Orchard in Spokane a month before he killed Steunenberg, testified that said that Jt was because of Steunenberg that he lost his interest IE tea Hercules. Other than for the interest and re' Hef afforded by the Introduction of the three witnesses named, the entire day was given over to the reading of the rest of the San Francisco depositions. The men who built the Linforth flats, the plumbers who put in the lighting system and flremen who came after the explosion and the contractors and their men who made the repairs all deposed at great length and detail. The weight of their tales seemed to favor a gas explosion, but none of the testimony was conclusive and the whole question involved will be fought before and decided by the. jury.

The last the deponents knew Harry Orchard and from him heard the story of the Hercules mine, witil- th usual threat that he to fix Steunenberg for driving him out of the country. Moyer to Be Called Today. Charles H. Moyer, president of the Western Federation of Miners, -will be brought from the county jail today to give testimony in behalf of his co-defendants.

Along the line of the Central both east and west of Guadalajara, scores of them.can be seen from nearly any passing train, doggedly plodding along on foot.
