Tale of Murder Plots Tied to Miners Officials
In Wallace Idaho on February 25 the trial heard an alleged confession by Steve Adams alleging he received Denver money from Moyer and Pettibone of the Western Federation of Miners to travel to Idaho and kill Stevenenberg. The confession notes Stimpson urged killing Settle and Tyler first, with Pettibone offering $1000 when Steunenberg’s death was known. The Miners’ federation, defending Adams, planned to show he was in Spokane the day Tyler was murdered. The prosecution in Wallace on March 1 moved to reopen Adams testimony, arguing Tyler’s murder date August 1 would disprove his alibi.
