About Time_Traveler
My name is John and I live on the Central Coast of CA near San Luis Obispo (SLO). I have an M.S. degree in Counseling and work for the State Dept. of Rehabilitation. My hobbies include exploring our beautiful coast, venturing off in our motor home, gardening, reading and of course studying history, particularly Civil War through the early 1900’s. I am a CA boy born and raised but feel deep roots going back to Idaho. The labor and mining issues in the Rocky Mountains, my great grandfather's assassination, the Haywood trial and Idaho history in general have become a passion for study in recent years. I enjoy collecting books, periodicals, photos and other items related to those events and times. During the past two years it has been very gratifying to see the establishment of the George L. Crookham, Jr. Collection at the College of Idaho Archives comprising the papers of Frank Steunenberg, to stumble across the original Harry Orchard confession, to attend "The Gate on 16th Avenue” at the Boise Little Theater and to film a segment for IPTV’s "Assassination: Idaho’s Trial of the Century." I wish to thank all those who have taken an interest and played a part in these historical events.

9/26/1913 (cont). - Stuenenberg (sic) was a man Idaho took pride in and his premeditated assassination cannot so soon be forgotten. A life term in the penitentiary, where conscience can hammer at Orchard spectre-like, and jingle in his ears till the death rattle appears should be his portion. It used to be an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but now-a-days a few fool lawyers try the immunity bath. Oh faugh, put on the brakes, "Lest we forget, lest we forget!"

9/26/1913 - We have faith that the pardon board of the State of Idaho will retain its reason and judgment in spite of the maudlin sentiments being exhibited by a few religious organizations in behalf of Orchard, the murderer. Must we forget and forgive the dastardly crime so soon? Suppose the man has got religion, suppose he has become a fit member for religious "rollers?" What then! Gadzooks! (continued next column).

The "multi-murderer" is Harry Orchard and "Western penitentiary" refers to the Idaho Pen in Boise, Idaho.
