Boise, Idaho, July 80. = Into the

trials involving conspiracy and MUIR

The probability of a verdict of &C.

since Saturday, when Judge Fremont
Wood read his charge, which was re-
garded as strongly favoring the de.

It was also freely predicted that in
the event of Haywood's acquittal the
state would abandon the prosecution
of his associates, Charles H. Meyer.

George A. Pettibone of Denver. State
ments from counsel and from Gov.
Gooding issued yesterday dispel this
view of the situation.

basis of 117,564 names in the new city

the product to the population estimate
of the previous year The Minnesota
state census of 1905 gave st. Paul a
population of 197,025, and the gain is
little more than per cent year.
The families number 42,971 and the
buildings 42,307. The changes in

reach a total of $4,000 Ia the 1907

End Arguments for State.

Boise, Idaho, July 28.-Evidence and
argument is at an end in the Haywood
case. Senator Borah, special counsel
for the state, spoke the last word last
night. Judge Fremont Wood will
charge the jury today.
Senator Borah laid the foundation
for his argument Thursday night. Yes
terday morning he began an analysts
of the evidence, but he confined him.
self to the murder of Steunenberg and
the conspiracy. He linked Orchard to
Haywood, Haywood to Simpkins,
Simpkins to Meyer and Meyer to Pet.
tibone.
Drops Orchards Confession.
Then, selecting only the evidence Of
witnesses for the defense and leaving
Orchards confession out, he wove the
lives and movements Of the five men
together. Without departing from
the records, incidentally clearing up a
number of situations left somewhat
clouded, he brought these officers and
members of the Western Federation
of Miners together. Then he took
Orchard away from Denver and back
again to Denver, to the headquarters
of the Western Federation Of Miners.
This was done carefully and almost
monotonously, the quiet before the
storm, and then Borah's voice and
manner changed.
1orah ls Dramatic.
He sprang into action. His voice
quivered. and hand appraised, fingers
outstretched, he shouted:
Watch them now! Watch the five
conspirators! Steunenberg Is to die
in thirty days and they are moving on
the scene"
For the space of ten seconds there
was silence. Then, relaxing, Borah
continued with his merciless logic. He
brought Davis, Copley, Adams and
Easterly, all officers or members of
the Western Federation of Miners,
into touch with Orchard. Without a
pause he drew picture after picture of
the men. associating together at vari.
GUS points.
Orchards comines and Goinas.
From each place and fresh from
every crime, he brought Orchard back
home to Denver" and then, smiling,
leaned toward the jury to ask ''Why?''

1t was to find there the protection and
the pay Of his employers?"

Senator Borah Is Sensational.
Boise, Idaho, July 27.-The case Of
the State of Idaho against William D..
Haywood, charged with the murder of
Frank D. Steunenberg, will rest with
the jury by night. Clarence barrow,
after speaking for eleven hours, con.
cluded the final plea for Haywood's
life at 1870 p. M, and at z in the
evening Senator Borah opened the
closing argument for the prosecution.
He will speak for three sessions, or
about seven hours. Judge Wood will
charge the jury Saturday morning.
At least 1000 people were unable to
find seats in the court room last night.
Governors Widow Present.
Aside from the unusually large
crowd in the court room and the large
number of women present, the scene
was much as it has been at each of
the sessions during the last eleven
weeks. Mrs. Steunenberg, the widow
of the murdered governor, was in the
court room for the first time. She &C.
cupied a seat inside the railing, beside
her youngest son.
Senator Borah's speech was a sen
sation. From time to time he turned
on counsel for the defense. fierce de-
nunciation pouring from his lips, and
at times he brought protests from
Richardson and barrow, but with blaz.
ing eyes and hot words he silenced
every effort to break the rush of
words.
No Immunity for Orchard.
The climax was, when in behalf OF
the State of Idaho, its people, its gov
ernor and himself, he disclaimed all
intention or desire to give immunity
to Orchard. Finally, his face pale
and voice quivering with emotion, the
senator raised his arm and said:
IF should ever join in an attempt
to give immunity to this man hope
the great God may wither my right
arm in it's socket"

Strong Plea for Life Of Haywood.

Boise, Idaho, July "a. - For four
hours and half yesterday E. F. Rich
ardson pleaded with the jury for the
life of William D. Haywood. Under
order of the court the hours for the
days sessions were changed and court
met at 6 o'clock last evening.
Mr. Richardson plunged directly into
the death of Gov. Steunenberg in his
opening sentence.
when the death of Gov. Steunen.
berg was flashed to the world there
was the immediate conclusion in near
ly all quarters that there was some
connection between the Occur d'Alene
troubles and the bomb which was
placed at his gate"
Reviews Events.
Mr.. Richardson then reviewed the
events following the death of Former
Governor Steunenberg, saying Harry
Orchard was caught almost red-hand-
ed in the act. A Pinkerton detective
came to Idaho and soon had confess
sion from man who, to save his own
worthless neck was ready to place the
blame upon others. The matter was
taken up by that portion of the press
which depends upon the prosperous
and capitalistic classes, and the lead
ers of the Western Federation of Min
ers were adjudged guilty without a
hearing.
The attorney begged the jurors to
lay aside any impression they may
have formed from reading the news
papers during the last year and to
start with him at the beginning of the
case and go through the various events
one by one, without feeling or preju-
dice.
Not Connected With Orchard.
The contention of the defense, Mr..
Richardson declared, was that no con.
nection has been shown between Or
chard and the defendant.
