ny. I am not here to paint Harry
Orchard in anything but his true colors.
There is but one claim we make for
him, and that is that he has told you
the truth, This fact has been indelibly
fixed by all the circumstances in this
case"
Mr.. HawIey said Immediately after
the train wrecking incident Orchard
was found again in the employ of the
federation.
Taking up the matter of the attempt
ed assassination of Governor Peabody,
Mr.. Hawley repeated much of the tes-
timony Of Orchard as to the plans he
and Steve Adams laid to kill the gov
ernor either by bomb or with sawed-off
shotguns- Orchards testimony was
amply corrCbOrated, counsel declared
Mrs Peabody herself taking the stand
TO testify to one of the most important
incidents. The attorney told of Gov
ernor Peabody's activities in the Colo
RADIO troubles, and declared that the
strongest motive for his taking off rest
ed with the Western Federation of Min
ers. No possible personal motive, said
Mr.. Hawley, could be attributed to
either Steve Adams or Harry Orchard.

you utter deliberate falsehoood''
Darrow renewed his objection, and
then Judge Wood took a hand. He said
he would instruct the jury to disregard
all statements made by counsel not
borne out by the evidence. Darrow
urged that counsel he prevented from
making any statement in regard to
Steve Adams.
Il object to his saying he brought
this man here for us" he continued.
Court Asked to Suppress barrow.
'Your honor" said HawIey, IF YOU
have ruled, L ask that Mr.. Darrow be
instructed to sit down."
Il object" said Darrow.

to the jury.
Adams is here, and he was brought
into this court and shown to you. His
appearance in this room gives the lie
to the statementsmade by counsel that
the facts are not as 1 have related
them.
There is just one other man who
could deny Orchards statements as to
Governor Peabody. That man is George
Pettibope. If he did not counsel the pro- |
posed murder, If he did not furnish the
sawed-Off shOtguns. why didn't they
bring him here to say so? There is no
evidence to contradict Harry Orchard
Does counsel expect to wipe out the
facts by mere argument? They cannot
