Title	Hurt, Walter 1928-06-19
Abstract	Letter to Theodore Debs, 6/19/28. Says that he appreciated the articles Theodore Debs sent about William Haywood. Writes that Theodore Debs' impression of Haywood coincides with his own. Tells Theodore Debs that he knew Haywood well because while he was the labor editor of the DENVER POST, Haywood was the secretary-treasurer of the Western Federation of Miners, headquartered in Denver, Colorado. Mentions that whatever else he may have thought, he never questioned Haywood's "sincerity, his class integrity, nor his passionate devotion to the cause of the workers." States, however, that he did find Haywood's personality "repulsive" and his "lack of moral fiber" alarming. Writes that it is impossible to compare Eugene V. Debs to Haywood. Informs Theodore Debs that he believed Haywood and the Western Federation of Miners guilty of all the crimes charged against it. Tells Thedore Debs that he is convinced Harry Orchard told the truth on the witness stand. Says that he is glad that both Theodore Debs and Eugene V. Debs thought highly of Clarence Darrow.
