Haywood, Moyer, Pettibone are now being tried for their lives!

This is a postcard that I am moving up from the unarchived section at the bottom of the blog.

Postmarked July, 29,1907. Hand written on the front it says:

"Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, July 24th, 1907
Dear K. This is the scene of the great mining riots for which Haywood, Moyer, Pettibone are now being tried for their lives. Yours, Bill"

And as we know, four days later, on July 28th, before this postcard reached its destination, the jury found Haywood not guilty.
