EDITORS’ MEETING
Lawyers Assert Re
sentment Drove Wit
ness to Murder.
By J. 8. DUNNIGAN.
Boise, Idaho, May 10.—Moyer, Hay
wood and Pettlbone are today analyz
Ing the list of state’s witnesses pre
sented In court yesterday by Prosecu
tor Hawley. The accused men and
their attorneys say there are no sur
prises in the list; It Is, they say, Just a
roll call of men adverse to the Western
Federation of Miners.
Mins Owners 8ubpenaed.
Former Governor Peabody and for
mer Adjutant General Sherman Bell, of
Colorado; Bulkley Wells and Floyd
Thompson, together with halt a dozen
members of the Colorado Mine Owners'
Association are In the state list of wit
nesses.
Within forty-eight hours fourteen ad
ditional guards have been appointed to
the prison where Orchard Is confined,
and peremptory orders have been given
that no one but the warden shall leave
the place.
Orchard Once Mins Owner,
Among the ex-members of the Fed
eral convention who have been aub-
penaed by the prosecution Is Ed Boyce,
first president of the miners' organisa
tion. Harry Orchard was once Boyce’s
equal partner In the Hercules mine, one
of the richest mines In America. Or
chard sold his Interest for $500, and
that Interest today Is worth $4,000,000.
Governor Steunenberg drove Orchard
from the state, and that compelled him
to sacrifice his share In the mine. Boyce
held on to his share and today Is worth
mlUlons.
Resulted In Murder.
Haywood'u defenders claim that Or
chard's resentment toward Governor
Steunenberg drove him to murder, and
this will be one of the contentions of
the Haywood trial.
Governor Gooding has given orders
that no newspaper photographers shall
take pictures of Orchard. Detective
McPartland, who keeps constant sur
veillance on the assassin of Steunen
berg, Is almost afraid to admit that
Orchard Is at the penitentiary, so fear
ful is he that someone will get over
tho walls and talk with tho Informer.
The trial of Haywood adjourned yes.
terday afternoon shortly after 6 o’clock
until Monday morning, because the
Jury panel had been exhausted.
A feature of the examination was
that all of the talesmen questioned
swore they had not been Influenced by
the letter of President Roosevelt, the
speches of other olllclals of the national
or state governments, and a majority
said they were Republicans,

A story of a young mother’s break'
Ing heart and her effort to hide her
Identity was told to C. Robert Jones
and his wife shortly before midnight
Thursday, when a basket containing a
tiny girl baby was left on the door
step of their home at 65 Bradloy ave
nue.
There waa a knock at the Jones'
door, a man's voice saying there was
a package for Mr. Jones, the rush of
feet and the rattle of cab wheels and
then a lone baby’s pitiful wall.
Pinned to the clothes placed In the
basket, was a note and every word of
It told of wrenches at a mother's
heartstrings.
At 5 minutes to 12, Mr. Jones, who Is
a well known street car motorman, was
awakened by a knock at his door, and
when ho asked what was wanted, a
man's voice answered, sayTog there was
a package for him.
Then Mr. Jones heard some ono run
nlng through his front yard, and he
heard the crack of a whip and the
sound of a retreating carriage. Inves
tigation showed there was a basket on
his porch, and, at first, he hesitated to
pick tt up, thinking It was an Infernal
machine.
But a pitiful little wall," said Mr.
Jones, “soon told me that I had noth
ing to fear.”
No Children In House.
Mr. and Mrs. Jones have been mar
ried over ten years, and have no chil
dren of thtlr own. Many a time Mrs.
Jones has expressed the wl$h for a
girl baby, and this fact evidently was
known to the mother of the little waif.
Here le the pathetic little note the
mother wrote In pencil. In an excellent
hand:
"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jones: I bring
my precious little one to you and I
hope you will take her and ralso her as
your own, as she should be. She Is of
the best blood—blood that no one can
be ashamed of. Cherish her as your
own and she will always love and obey
you. As you have .no children of your
own, I give you my precious darling, os
I know you both to be kind and gener
ous-hearted. 1 know you wtn always
love her and would not part with her
for anything. Take her, for her sake,
not mlne/and hide the shamo of a poor,
unfortunate girl. Don't Judge me too
harshly bocauso I-wanted you to have
my baby to be your own. Her name Is
Ruby Jeannette.”
The Little Layette,
With the baby were some clothes,
medicine arid a bottle filled with warm
milk. Tho clothes looked, as If they
had been made by an Inexperienced
hand and in a hurry. The' girl is about
a month old and appears to bo healthy. ’
although Mrs, Jones thinks she has
been neglected.
■While Mrs. Jones Is not.strongly op
posed to keeping the baby, Mr. Jones
thinks It Is his duty to allow tho au
thorities to take charge of tho waif,
and ho has communicated with Chief
Turner,, of the county police. As he
lives Just outside of tho city. Probation
nfilccr Oloer can not tnko charge of
the matter,-but he will consult with
Chief Turner.
“My heart-goes out to this little
waif,” said Mr. Jones, "and my wife will
tenderly care for her until wo find a
home for her. Who tho mother Is I
haven't the least Idea, but-It Ih some
one who knows about my wlfo and my
self.” - • > ■
All day hundreds of people In tho
neighborhood of the Jones homo.called
to see the little waif, and she is re
ceiving every attention. .
Suit Is Dismissed,
Upon the ground of a misjoinder of
parties, the suit of Dr. J. M. Gaston
agulnst D. F. Thompson for a doctor's
bill of 1700, was dismissed from the
superior court by Judge Pendleton on
Thursday afternoon.
The debt was alleged to have been
due for professional services rendered
the young daughter 'of Mr. Thompson,
who was wounded by a pistol some
time ago.
En route to attend the bedside of hlz
father. Dr. Joseph Bryan, who le very
111 at his home In Elbert county. Editor
W. C. Bryan, of The Douglas Enter
prise, stopped over In Atlanta for
short while Thursday.
“We are keeping abreast of the times
down our way.” said Editor Bryan,
and Douglas Is the center of a mighty
prosperous section of the state. When
the Georgia weekly pen-pushers meet
at Sandersvllle this yesr we sre going
to make an effort to Induce them to se
lect Douglas as the meeting place next
year, and feel cure that the Induce
ments offered will be sufficient for the
purpoee."
Editor Bryan states that many of the
Georgia editors have promised to vote
for Douglas as the next meeting place,
end It seems probable that this thriving
little South Georgia city will be
lected.
