Counsel in Haywood Case Are
 Loaded to the Bfin
DOUBTFUL ABOUT VERDICT
No One Can Forecast the Result of the Trial. Attorneys for the De- fense Are Making the Most of
 lmpeaohments of Testimony.

Boise, 1daho July 2t.-Argument in de- fense of William D. Haywood will com mence tomorrow, and for the next two or perhaps three days, E. F. Richardson and Clarence Darrow will plead for the life of their client, who they assert, is innocent of any connection with the mur- der of former Governor Steunenberg The Denver lawyer, who with Clarence Oar row of Chicago, has taken a large part in the defense, expects to speak eight or ten hours. It Is probable. therefore. that MT. Darr0w will not commence his clos ing argument before Wednesday morning. The last word vii come from Senator Borah, who will speak probably on Fri day. closing up the states side of the case. Judge Wood will charge the jury on Friday afternoon or more likely on Saturday morning, and a verdict is eX pected oy Saturday night.
 Doubt As tc Result.
 Opinion is divided as to the probable result. The decision of Judge Wood talk ing from the jury all evidence relating 10 the deportations in Colorado and attacks of the mine owners in their efforts to harass the Western Federation of Min CTS constituting the showing by the de- fense of counter conspiracy. has ncees- sarly limited the argument of the defense to the evidence introduced by the state corroborative of Orchard. and the im- peachment of Orchard by the defense.
 MT. Richardson will take the position that Haywood had not been connected with any crimes to which Orchard has confessed, and the alleged co-conspirator has not been corroborated as required by the law of conspiracy. This will involve review of all the evidence from the period of trouble in the Occur d'Alene district in 1899 down to the murder of Steunen- berg by Orchard in 1905. He will repre- sent the legal side of the position of the defense at every point and seek to exon crate Haywood and the Western Federa- tlon of Miners from all knowledge of par ticlpation ir crimes in which Orchard earned the title of Boss Killer"
 Orchards Word Worthless.
 MT Richardson will argue from the evil dence that Orchard was not present at the blowing up of the conceutrator at the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine in 1899, and that therefore his evidence in this matter Is impeached and worthless. He will argue that the explosion at the Vim dicator mine in Colorado. and the killing of Beck and Mccormick was an accident with which Orchard had no connection. That the blowing up of the Independence depot in Colorado, where fourteen men were killed, was the result of a scheme to create public feeling against the striking miners and that the killing of non-union miners was not intended; that Orchard had no connection with it, or if he had. Haywood had no knowledge of what was going on.
 Gregory Murderer.
 The killing of Lyte Gregory in Denver, Mir. Richardson will lay to the door of personal enemies of Gregory, who was en- gagged in strike breaking. The Goddard and Gabbert bombs, concerning which so much has been said, will not be consid- cred by the defense as seriously bearing upon the case, but at the same time 1t will be held that if such bombs were made and planted the Western Federation of Miners had nothing to do with them. The same disavowal of connection will be argued also as to the Bradley explosion, and the Steunenberg murder itself.
 From first to last MT. Richardson Will take the ground that Orchard, having foullv murdered Steunenberg, has woven the members of the federation into his story at the behest of Capt James Nc Partland and Governor Gooding of Idaho under promise of immunity.
 As the end of the case apepars the town of Boise is even more quiet than at any time during the trial. Most of the wit nesses have been paid off and dismissed, hut many people are coming from long distances to hear the argument.
