Darrow defended the testimony of
Davis and Easterly, Remember one
thing: Davis was safe in Nevada. but
he had read Orchards damnable
story and came over and placed his
neck in a moose and gave the other
end to Hawley to say that Orchard
| lied. I don't care whether Davis was
not one of you 12 men who would
refuse to take the hand of Davis, and
you would all refuse to take the hand

Darrow bitterly attacked Orchards
religious professions, and declared he
was also posing as a Christian when
at his home in Canada he burned
down a cheese factory, collected the
insurance and ran away with a neigh
boris wife.
He then reviewed Orchards story
at length, characterizing each of his
! important statements as lies told for
the purpose of saving his own misera-

could point to one act of Orchards

anything to save his neck and being

Alleged That the City Is Already in

Controversy Over Validity of
SI33,OOO Water Bonds.

Walla Walla, July 24.-Walla
Walla's new city hall and fire station,
work on which was discontinued sew
eral days ago because of a rumor of
difficulty experienced in floating
city bonds issued for that purpose, is
likely TO be delayed for some time,
City Clerk Hart having received word
that the Harris Trust and Savings
bank at Chicago had refused to ac-
cept the bonds, declaring them to be
Illegal.
It is claimed that the city indebted
ness is now too great to warrant the
issuance of bonds. The trouble GEN.
tiers about the s133,OOO water bonds
issue, which the city declares should
not be counted in the city indebted
ness, because it will be paid out of
water revenues. The bonding COM
pany, however, insists that this is a
part of the city debt, and the city is
too heavily loaded with debt. --
A meeting of the city council has
been called for tomorrow night to de-
termine some line of action. A num-
Der of other bids have been SUBJ
mitted, and it is the purpose to let
some other company have the con-
tract for the purchase of bonds at as
early date as possible. so that work
may be resumed on city buildings.
April l the total net city indebted
ness amounted to s256,S09.71, minus
the water debt and assets. The full
Indebtedness was sS0S,174. Ninety
two per cent of this amount, s56S, 900
represents the water debt and includes
the s13S,00o item, which comprised
the water purchase bonds. The city
assets April l were s7s.S56.21.
The city holds certified check for
$500, which will be forfeited if the
bid is withdrawn.

April 20, 1901, says suit filed in
Ramsey county at st. Paul this after

Clarence II. Venner, a stockholder,
is the plaintiff, and summons was

Hill was until April last president of

on November l, 1900, he and other Of
ficers and directors of the road enter
ed into a scheme to obtain in union
with the Northern Pacific railroad,
controlling interest in the Chicago,

On April 2S. 1901, James ]. Hill was

junction with the Northern Pacific,
paying $215,154,4 400 for the purpose,
for which joint collateral trust funds
were issued by the two railroads.

I'VE will have to leave to you event.
ually the interests of these defendants,
and 1t rests with you to see that every
argument made against this man and
his fellows rests absolutely on sound
evidence. 1t is not Haywood's rate
that is in the balance; it is the fate of
a great and worldwide movement,
and we must ask you to carefully ex-
anime every bit of evidence.
For more than a year and half
this community has been poisoned by
the lies of the newspapers, which have
engendered hatred and created senti-
ment against this defendant. This
jury has been fed upon such stories
and naturally must be hostile, but we
believe you will give this man fair
treatment and weigh carefully all the
evidence against him.
Gentlemen, nowhere in the civiliz-
ed world would any lawyer attempt
as has been introduced by the state,
were he not relying upon hostile pre-
judgment. Haywood is charged with
the murder of Steunenberg. He was
not here when the crime was COM
mitted.
There might be some member OF
this jury who would hesitate to take
this mans life on Orchards perjured
word, but might have a lurking sus-
picion that he knew something about
it and would want to send him to the
penitentiary. Don't do it. Haywood
| is not a coward. If he is guilty, hang
| him by the neck until he is dead, but
~ he is innocent, release him. Don't
for Gods sake, compromise"

intimating he believed him insane, and

was left out entirely. He declared
Hawley lied when he said he was
friend of labor unions.
