Haywood More Cheer
ful Over Outcome
of Testimony.
Boise, Idaho, June Zt.—Encouraged
by the showing made yeaterday, tho
defense in the Haywood case proceeded
with the presentation of their testimony
today, confident that they would be able
to break down the remarkable story
told by Harry Orchard in so far as It
affects Haywood and the other officers
of tho Western Federation of Minere.
Direct charges of attempted intimida
tion of three witnesses was made by
the defense against the state’s detec
tives and agents.
It is alleged the representatives of
the mine owners in Colorado have been
Placed in the court room so tboy can
listen to the testimony of certain wit
nesses to contradict in rebuttal.
The decision of Judge Wood as to
the admission of testimony in which he
sustained Mr. Darrow’s point that the
defense had a right to Introduce evi
dence showing Orchard's connection
with the mine owners and detectives
makes it certain, according to the claim
of Haywood's counsel, that they will
be able to show that ail the crimes
committed by Orchard were the result
of a conspiracy to discredit and destroy
the Western Federation.
They claim they have ample testi
mony to show this conspiracy and that
the murder of Governor Steunenberg
was the result either of this conspiracy
or the private grudge held by Orchard
against the governor for driving him
out of Idaho.

J. 8. OLIVER HA8 JOINED
ARMISTEAD & M'MICHAEL.

gale Advertising Agency, has accepted

an advertising man of splendid equip

by father, and put my arms around him
and he put his arms around me, and aa
soon as I could speak I told him that
while I was in Lovington Theodore had
asked me to go driving with him: that I
first refused, but that on Annie Kidd's
Insisting I did go finally, but thought
we would go only a little way.
"I did not put my hat on; Just
thought it would be a short drive. We
first drove out toward Oak Ridge eta
tlon, drove about half way to Oak
Rldgo station and turned around and
came back and drove down through
Lovington, and stripped at his house.
He told me he was going in his house a
minute, would I wait there and hold the
horse until he came back? He was In
the house five or si* minutes. He came
back, and we drove on down through
Lovington, through the gap and down
below Mrs. Coleman’s old place, and
turned around and came back toward
Lovington. Just before we got to the
gap he took out the bottle of whisky
and asked me to take a drink of it, and
I did take a swallow of it. I told fa
ther I thought it must have been
drugged, because I immediately began
to get dizzy, and couldn’t see things.
Asked To Be Taken Homo.
“Everything commenced to dance be
fore me, and I asked him to take me
home at once, back to Lovington.
When wo got to where one road turns
toward Lovington and one up the
mountain, instead of turning toward
Lovington he started up the mountain.
I asked him to take me home at once,
that I was feeling very badly and was
sick, to please lake me home. He
didn't answer me at all, but drove on
as rapidly as he could. So father then
asked me if he attempted to assault
me. I told him that he had forced him
self upon me. I screamed, but I sup
pose no one heard me, and that I then
lost consciousness and did not remem
ber anything after that until I was at
Mrs. Kidd's house that night. When I
told father that ho got so white and
unnatural looking that it scared me. I
ran out to mother, and told her I be
lieved I had killed my father."
Cross-Examined.
Miss Loving then regained her com
posure and the cross-examination bo-
g on.
Attorney Daniel Harmon presented a
map of the country over which the
buggy ride was taken, 'and asked that
the witness fix the portion where Estes
gave her a drink. She could not re
member exactly, but designated the
neighborhood. She was then asked
whero the assault occurred, to which
she replied that it was after she and
Estes had turned up the mountain
road.
“When did you remember gaining
consciousness?"
"During the night, at Mrs. Kidd's."
“Do you remember telling Mrs. Kidd
that you had tanen too large a drink,
and that you did that once before at
Bellevue?"
"No."
"Did not Mrs. Kates, mother of The
odore, come to see you the day after
the osaault and give you a piece of
chocolate?"
“Yes."
Loving Hard Drinker.
At today’s session John P. Read,
sheriff of Amherst county, and D. M.
Harrison, lawyer of Amherst court
house, were put upon the stand to
testify as to Judge Loving's use of
liquor. It was brought out by their
evidence that for a great many years
Judge Loving has been a hard drinker,
subject to frequent attacks of delirium
tremens. They further stated that be
fore he began drinking he was a pleas
ant, agreeable man, but his tempera
ment was entirely changed by dissi
pation.

FOR RECORDER TO
BE HELD THURSDAY
The city council will hold a caucus
Thursday morning at Id o'clock for the
purpose of selecting a recorder, the
chief of the fire department, building
Inspector, ward physicians and the
health officer.
Judge Broyles, the present recorder,
la opposed by Malvern Hill.
Frank A. Pittman, the building In
spector. is opposed for re-election by
Ed R. Hayes, a well-known contractor.
The friends of Judge Broyles con
cede Mr. Hill only five votes, those be
ing Aldermen Holland and Key and
Councllmen Hancock, Longlno and
Pearce, Alderman Curtis and Coun
cilman 1 Styron, they say, are doubtful.
Look* Like Broyles.
The friends of Judge Broyles say
the following will positively vote for
him: Aldermen Qullllnn, Hlrsch, Iieu-
tell, McKachern and Peters, and Coun
cilman Terrell, Martin, Huddleston,
Mangum, Chosewood, Pomeroy, Gloss,
Grant, Taylor. Robert*, Hannon and
Baakln.
The friends of Mr. Hill, on the other
hand, while not giving the names of his
supporters, say that Mr. Hill has
enough votes to win and that this will
be shown in the caucus.
The election of a building Inspector Is
sure to be a warm one. Mr. Pittman
has served In this capacity tor twelve
years, and Mr. Hays, his opponent, is
one of the best-known contractors In
Atlanta.
Hays Runs.
A member of council told a represen
tatlve of The Georgian that on Tuesday
afternoon eleven men had signed an
agreement to vote for Mr. Hays, and
that Mr. Hays had stated that two more
had promised to vote for him If he got
ten signatures. This would make It
appear that Mr. Hays has thirteen
votes, which Is enough to elect If the
entire council—24 In all—la present at
the caucus.
It was stated Wednesday morning
that twelve men had signed this agree
ment, but this was only a report which
could not be verified. Mr. Pittman's
friends seem confident he will be re
elected.
Dr. George Doss and Dr. Allen John
son are opposing Dr. L. H. Jones for
ward physician from the Fifth ward.
If there Is any opposition to the In
cumbents tn other wards It could not
be ascertained. W. B. Cummings seems
unopposed for re-election aa fire chief.
Dr. J. P. Kennedy likewise-as health
