Lottie E. Day, who was introduced

Orchard and Haywood in private con-
sultation. General Eugene Engley,
the former attorney general of Colo
rado, who of all men, an officer of the
law, should not have kept these dire
full threats a secret locked within his
breast, when the state of Idaho was
looking for evidence against Orchard
the suspect
Calls Engley an Anarchist.
But" said Senator Borah, General
Engley does not believe in law He is
not even a socialist; he is an anarch-
ist. You heard the speech he made
here in the witness chair. Nobody
could stop it
with such men as Engley in office,
1 am not surprised that Colorado has
had hell within her borders for the
past ten years"
The sena tor next read effectively to
to the jury the articles denouncing
Stcunenberg in the miners magazine.
There is much talk here and in the
argument of counsel about. an indus
trial war. The is an industrial war.
but It is for you men to determine
whether Industrial warfare shall be
carried out on the principle of muir
der.
of Orchards testimony there is moth
ing here to prove a conspiracy. What
more do you want? We put Orchard
and Simpkins and Meyer and Haywood
and Pettibone together in Denver. Now
watch them as they move to the scene
of Frank Steunenberg's murder"
Briefly Senator Borah showed the
friendship existing among the quin-
tette Then he hurled at the jury the
letter which Orchard said he received
(~aJ1 4 al
Friend Tom: That was sent to
Jack the 21st."
How" exclaimed Senator Borah,
did Pettibone know that Orchard un-
Caldwell? Why did Haywood send
draft for 500 to Jack Simokins on
December 21? Has Pettibone come
here to say a word as to this? NOW
watch the coconspirators, how quickly
they act Scarcely had the news of
Tom Hogan's arrest been flashed to
the world than attorneys for the West
ern Federation of Miners t1ocked into
from all directions.
Haywood Got Busy.
Jack Simpkins was the man who |
went to see Attorney Miller at Spo-
kane; Jack Simpkins was the man VINO I
sent the mysterious and unexplained
telegram to Haywood. The wording |
Of Simpkin's telegram, Senator Borah |
declared, showed that he knew Hay !
And Haywood got busy.

WE'LL review the testimony, watch |
heir actions and I say to you that |

They killed Steunenberg to show to |
he world that they never forgot an |

peak? Where is Jack Simpkins who
cas-at Caldwell with Orchard and who [
ould tell so much? He Is in corner
nd afraid to come to say a word for
lis life long friends
Senator Borah said he was ready
o admit that Haywood was shrewd,
Teen and possessed of brains. "Of
curse he has brains" he exclaimed.
He had brains enough to start de-
ense of the Western Federation of
liners. the minute he learned that

en- into a trap"
Did the Pinkertons send any one
o defend Orchard? Did the mine
