WANTS JUSTICE DONE.
President Writes Another Letter on
Moyer-Haywood Affair.
New York, May 7.-In a letter read
before the Central Federated union
President Roosevelt states that if evi-
dence is submitted to him showing
that there has been a miscarriage of
justice for or against Moyer and Hay-
wood, awaiting trial at Boise, Ida.,
charged with the murder of former
Governor Steunenberg, he will bring
such evidence to the attention of the
attorney general for such action, if
any, as it may be in the power of the
federal authorities to take.
The communication was the formal
reply of the president to the commit-
tee of the union which recently called
upon the president in Washington and
requested him to set forth in general
his attitude toward the accused men
and specifically why he had referred
to Moyer and Haywood as "undesir-
able citizens."
