Summary:Haywood was tried for the Dec. 30th, 1905 assassination of Idaho's former governor Frank R. Steunenberg. Although Harry Orchard, a member of the Western Federation of Miners, confessed to the murder he claimed that Haywood, Charles H. Moyer, and George A. Pettibone instigated it. The case of the State of Idaho vs. William D. Haywood, et al. was tried in the Court of Canyon County, 7th Judicial District of Idaho, May 9th-July 29th 1907 with Clarence Darrow as attorney for the defense and William E. Borah as the special prosecutor. Haywood was acquitted.
