Judge limits defense in Haywood case over blacklisting evidence
In Bolne Idaho Judge Wood rules on the Hawley and Darrow arguments in the Haywood counter conspiracy case. The court accepts part of the prosecution’s view and confines defense proof to Colorado and Coeur dAlenes events tied to the present matter. Ed Boyce, former Western Federation of Miners leader and Haywood backer, and Clarence Darrow argued for broader latitude. James H. Hawley pressed that the state already proved a conspiracy via Harry Orchard and that other isolated incidents should not be used to prove a nationwide scheme.
