Haywood trial opens with defense witnesses at Boise
In Boise on June 26, the Haywood trial heard several defense witnesses. Mrs. Lottie Day testified about Orchard’s threats toward Steunenberg and his ties to Haywood and Pettibone at a Denver lodging house. John Elliott, a Soldiers Home inmate, related a 1905 train conversation with Orchard claiming mine owners would crush the Western Federation of Miners before an assassination of Governor Steunenberg. John M. O Neill, editor of Mine's Magazine, said Moyer and Haywood did not run the magazine though they sometimes wrote for it.
