Dawson News
on “Haywood.”
That able newspaper the Dawson
News, which somehow lias a knack of
going to the bottom of things in its edi
torials, contains an article on “Hay
wood” that cannot be surpassed.
Contending that the verdict firmly
establishes the man’s innocence, the
paper says: “If it was unfair before
the trial to pronounce the man inno
cent, how much more unfair would it be
now to pronounce him guilty in the
face of the tremendous showing made.
No one has a right to intimate guilt
now; such are the facts that it were a
violation of every principle of justice
and fairness not to accept fully and
completely the sweeping vindication of
the secretary of the federation. Con
sider the details: he was tried, not by a
jury of bis peers—God save the mark—
but by a jury as unlike as the State of
Idaho could procure. The state was
raked with a fine-toothed comb to find
men who never worked for wages: who
who have never disclosed the slightest
leaning towards those who do. Pre
sumably these was not on the jury a
man with the prejudices supposed to be
held by the workers for capital and
capitalists. Certainly there was not on
that jury a man committed to unionism
or with a disposition to defend union
leaders at all odds. And it is this jury
twelve to nothing finds Haywood inno
cent. No, the most prejudiced f anti
federation citizens is bound to accept
that verdict at its face.”
“In view of the fact that this jury,
with all the evidence before it, with no
predisposition to regard Haywood or his
doings charitably, has found him inno
cent, the impropriety of governor and
president now stands out like an elec
tric flash from a black cloud,” contin
ues the News. “They pronounced an
innocent man guilty, and though bis
life was the forf« it, made it dangerou-ly
difficult sur Haywood to clear himself.
“Also, in view of the fact that Hay
wood is an innocent man anti was al
ways an innocent man—for no other as
sumption is at all l>crniis*able—tin kid
napping of him from one state to an
other; the keeping of him in tin- peni
tentiary, for much of the time incom

the last moment in the trial to let him
demand to he tol.l with what he was
really charged; the feasting and re
warding of Orchard publicly by state
governor and others to convince the
jury he was a good mar.—all these
things must he branded as atrocities
only equaled in the government mis
management of the original strikes in
Idaho and Colorado which precipitated
the difficulty in the first place. All
these things can now he seen and said
without a vestige of impropriety; with
ott a suggestion of reckless judgment;
without a symptom of a desire to pre
judge the ease or to influence the public
mind. Such is the construction of the
human mind, even the best, that were
Maywood guilty, any of his rights dis
regarded in bringing him to trial and
justice would id prove at all shocking.
' Hut all these tilings happened an inno
cent man, and at once the atrocity is
apparent—vivid, ominous and noxious
as an eruption from Mont I’eelee. It
can now be seen that everything con
spired to hang an innocent man, than
which nothing can he conceived more
shocking. With the entire Pinkerton
agency working against him; with the
State of Idaho doing its utmost; with
the freest help from Colorado; with
state funds, mine-owner funds and de
tective funds free as water used against
him, it i- easily conceivable that Hay
wood was for a year within the very
shadow of the gallows; an innocent
man. yet in such a position that had not
friends come to the rescue with funds
and estltisel, he could not have esea|>ed
an ignominious death any more than a
man can walk through a modern blast
furnace and continue to live.
“.lust what ought to Is' done with the
Pinkertons, the men who it was shown
hired, paid and sent On hard to Hay
wood in tin first place to get him to do
something which would hang him, our
words run »le»rt in oppressing. Clearly
hanging is to good t>y far (or Orchard,
though he U >lo»iblk-< to he rewarded.

Haywood being innocent, the ire
against him was plainly coiteoeted, and
the union stands treed of ooieh that
was black and tan ning.

from which news of a sensational gold

undetected.
