The state called but two witnesses In rebuttal today, notwithstanding Hawley's statement that eight or ten witnesses remained.

At the last moment, the prosecution decided not to call1 the mine owners or Plnkerton detectives, believing this would strengthen their case before the jury. As a result of this decis ion, a number of interesting witnesses will not be heard. One is Capt. Mc- Fartland, the Plnkerton who has had charge of the case since the arrest of Orchard. The witnesses examined today were from Colorado and gave an account of the conditions existing around the mines.

O. M. Sackett made a positive assertion that the mob of the citizens alliance of Cripple Creekf took the law into their own nands, as a last resort and that this organization was made up of good citizens of the district. He testified that he deportations were made on the ground that they were necessary and because the authorities had reached the conclusion that the men who refused to work themselves or would not permit other people to work, should be sent away. He said that some of the deported men were innocent of wrong doing.

He stated positively that they were allowed to come back" when the injustice was discovered. Sackett said that of his own knowledge, and on Information, he knew of a number of murders and outrages committed by union miners and that the calling out of militia and declaration of martial law, was necessary to the preservation of life and property. The last witness of the day and the last witness of the state, was William Stuart, a Scotchman who was a miner at Cripple Creek during the trouble. He told a terrible story of maltreatment at the hands of miners, who warned him he would have to take the consequences If he went to work as a "scab." He stubbornly went to work, however, and today as a witness, told of the consequences. Mr.

Richardson dismissed the witness with the words "that is all." Stuart stepped down from the witness chair and said quickly "Humph, well there' more If you want The state of Idaho rests content with the evidence to prove We D. Haywood conspired to kill and therefore murder Frank Steunenberg, for mer governor of Idaho. Tomorrow morning Haywood, through his coun sel, will rest his case with the Jury so far as evidence is concerned. Judge Wood has invited arguments to eliminate certain evidence from consideration by the jury and probab ly the day "Will be taken up present ing the views of both sides as to the Instructions to the jury. On Friday morning the arguments are expected to begin and the last stage of the trial will have commenced.

After having dismissed the Jury this afternoon, Judge Wood stated his opinion that the evidence Introduced by the defense to prove a conspiracy on the part of the mine owners, by the deportation of miners from the Cripple Creek district during the strike of 1903 and 1904, was I not material to the issue involved and should not be submitted to the jury. On the other hand he said the showing by the state that Steve Adams was concerned in the killing of two men In the Couer d'Alene district, did not appear to the court to be germane and should be eliminated. He announced, however, the court -would hear arguments on these points tomorrow. Another announcement by the court today was that it was determined to conclude the case within the week. He said he would hold three two-hour sessions dally during the arguments.

E. J. Richardson pro tested against this but he met with no encouragement. Richardson stat ed today he desired the court to order D. C.

Scott, William Dewey and J. C. Rutan, witnesses who tes tified in rebuttal for the state, to remain within the jurisdiction of the court. This was explained on the ground that counsel for the defense was considering the advisability of Issuing certain warrants, charging the state witnesses with perjury. There was nothing done during the day, however, and late tonight Clarence Darrow said it was doubtful if any steps would be taken.
