BoIsr. Idaho, July 2~O.-Denouncing the
present leaders Of the Western Federation of
Minors ~ a ban of criminals who had
DETECTED the organization from the honest
r~urYuSes for which IL was formed originally
until II had sunk to a level of sinister vio-
leuce. opposed TO every possible conception
Of American ideals OF decency and justice.
Lawyer James II. Hawley concluded his
argument before the jury in the Haywood
murder trial late this afternoon. after
speaking for nearly eight hours.
The veteran prosecutor disclaimed all
intention upon h part Of the State to
mako war on honest organized labor.
He declared that he and every other
thoughtful man in Idaho approved the
work Of labor organizations when it was
conducted upon fair INC legitimate lines.
Rir he asserted with vehemence that the
Western Federation of Miners had been
proved beyond all possible doubt to have
forfeited the consideration Of every respect
able American citizen and that unless il
rurgcd itself Of the leaders who had brought
il 10 itspresent low estate IL must be fought
from ono retreat to another until il had
been obliterated.

principles of the Federation as to make it
merely an engine Of destruction and Of
violence, Nr. Hawley said. were Haywood,
Meyer. Pettibone. Simpkips and their in
Inmates, and he declared that the evidence
taken In this case showed conolusively that
these men had c~onspired for the commission
Of more than twenty murders in pursuance
Of their policy, concluding with the assassi-
=. n---I.
In its way, IL was an able argument. Mr..
Hawley has few Of the graces of the orator,
hut he has a logical MIND and he under
stands the sort Of jury TO whom he was
'alking to-day. He reviewed the main
features Of the evidence taken in the case,
went over the testimony for the defence
point by point and maintained that Orchard
had no possible personal motive for a single
one of the crimes which he has testified
Haywood. Meyer and Pettibone hired him
to commit, and that the only persons who
could possibly have had a motive for the
commission Of all these crimes were the
per ons who actually stood accused Of in-
spiring them.
In his d~enunciation Of the leadership
and spirit OF the Western Federation the
veteran was at his best. He demanded
20 know why Jack ~Simpkins, the execu-
tive board member of the organization.
had fled when accused. why he had still
remained in hiding if he were innocent,
and called attention to the fact that this
man. accused Of murder and now in hiding
from the Off GERS Of the law. had since his
fight been twice reelected to the high
office that he held in the federation.
Haywood listened with his customary
imperturbability to this denunoiation of
himself and his associates. At mis- elbow
sat his crippled wife in her invalid's chair.
On her other side sat H~aywood's two daugh-
ters. The court room was crowded as it
was yesterday, an Gov. Gooding and De-
tective Mcfarland were ssain present.
In the course of the morning session there
was q hot colloquy between Hawley and
barrow, in which each of them called the
other a liar, and only prompt action by
Judge Wood cut the controversy short.
IL wa the only interruption Of consequence
to whic h the prosecutor was subjected in
the course of his argument On Monday
morning Lawyer Richardson will make the
opening argument for the defence. He
will certainly talk all day and perhaps worse
still.
Great stress has been laid by the defence
on the contention that the alleged attempt
u wreck a train on the Rio Grande and
Cripple Creek Railway was nothing but a
Job put up by D.. G. Scott and X. c. Sterling,
who are detectives. at the insugation of
the mine owners, 80 that the blame might
lie laid on the union. Darrow has con-
tended that Orchards talk with Scott
showed that he was working for the mine
owners.
When Mr.. Hawley resumed his arguments
this morning he put that contention out of
business by quoting the testimony OF both
Scott and Orchard to prove that Scott told
Orchard VhpD the Iaffar want aS ha az va
10 warn him Of an attempt to wreck a train,
that as a matter OF fact the attempt had
been made the night before.
The prosecutor then took up the toughest
task that remained for the State when the
evidence was all in. This was the ex plana-
iirn e the testimony of two women who
ran a rOoming house in Cripple Creek and
who swore they saw Orchard in Sterling's
room in their house several times not long
before the Independence station explosion.
The inference the defence makes is that
Orchard and Sterling were then plotting
o. destroy the Independence station. again
IN the interest of the mine owners and in
pursuance of their general plan Of per-
forming acts Of violence that wou per-
haps be attributed to the Western fedora
ion.
Mr.. Hawley laid stress on the fact hat
ne women who testified did not know
Orchard at the time they said they saw him
ant that they never knew who he was

N need of this testimony. The prosecutor
declared that he was not present to paint
Harry Orchard in any but his true %colors,
and he then addressed himself to the part,
Of discussing Orchards doings in Cripple
Creek and Denver late in 1905, when he was
TEX ng money from both the railroad and
the federation. That he was doing this
o. that time Mr.. Hawley did not deny,
hI, he said the testimony showed that
Orchard rendered no services to the railroad
in return for this money, whereas he became
IN 1906 the faithful aid and murderous
servant Of the federation.
The attempts on Gov. Peabody's life
not came up for consideration.
The Governor" said Mr.. Hawley. was
then the best hated man the federation
knew. So they told Orchard TO bump
him "a. He went back to Cripple Creek
10 get Steve Adams. He got him and the
two came 10 Denver and started in to watch
tho Governor with the sawed of shotguns.
You remember that thrilling story
Of Orchards about the time when he and
Adams stood by a carriage door ready TO
shoot Peabody when he got out and when
the door opened three ladies aliRhted in
stead. Miss Peabody was n OF them.
Nh" has told you that Orchards story Is
true"
