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.

"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.

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.
