sci be prevented from making any state
ment in relation to the matter.
81 object to his saying he brought this
man here for u.s." he continued.
Hawley Taunts Darrow
"Your honor" said Hawley, 'if you have
ruled I ask that MIR. Darrow be instructed
| to sit down"
II object" said Darrow.
TT is the CALLED Jade that winces,
taunted Hawley.
"Then vince" shouted the defense's at
| torney.
Gentlemen, have not WINGED" said
Hawley, turning at last to the jury.
| Adams is here and he was brought into
this court and shown to you. His appear
ance in this room gives the lie to the
statement made by counsel that the facts
are not as l have related them.
| There is just one other man who could
deny Orchards statements as to Governor
Peabody. That man is George Pettibone.
| If he did not counsel the 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. Do counsel expect to wipe out
the facts by mere argument? They can
| not do so.'
Bringing his argument down to the at
tempt on the life of F. w. Bradley in San
Francisco, Mr.. Hawley reviewed first the
| testimony as to money sent to Orchard
| in San Francisco by George A. Pettibone.
AS to the motive against Bradley 1t was
to show to the world that the federation
did not forget its enemies after a lapse of
years.
Bradley had been the manager of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine which was
blown up in 1899.
Recalls Registered Letter
Mr.. Hawley recalled to the jury the tes-
timony regarding the registered letter sent
by j. Wolff in Denver to Orchard in San
Francisco and containing $780, Wolff, a
clerk in Pettibone's store, testified that ne
sent the letter.
why" asked Mr.. Hawley, did not they
put Pettibone on the stand to testify as 10
the connection with the matter? l will
leave that for them to explain"
Following the letter there was sent to
Orchard by telegraph 500. This was from
"Pat Bone" Then $50 was sent from ~.
Wolff"
The signature on both applications was
in the handwriting of George A. Pettibone, |
the attorney declared. and was sent by
him to aid Orchard in the commission of |
crime. The money was obtained from
Haywood and his colleagues.
This information as to Orchards de- |
posting money with Pettibone and Petite
bone acting as his banker is absolutely |
ridiculous and it belittles an argument |
to refer to 1t.
1.-THE only evidence they have Is some
thing from Mrs. Lottie Day.
ut is not worthy of consideration.
why, gentlemen, If Pettibone was
acting legitimately as banker for Orchard
why didn't he send the money to him
in his own name? Why should there
have been an attempt to mystify or con-
ceal?
"Pettibone took good care to see that
his name was not connected with any
money transactions in any way"
Traces Orchards Movements
Resuming his argument after recess
Mr.. Hawley traced Orchards movements
after the Bradley explosion, showing how
he changed his costume to soldiers
clothing in order to get out of San Fran
cisco.
The change was accomplished in the
rooms of D. C. Copley, who had been
a member of the executive board of the
Western Federation of Miners.
After he had spoken for nearly an hour
at the afternoon session Mr.. Hawley
finally brought his argument down to the
death of former Governor Frank Steunen-
berg.
''He appears to have been particularly
obnoxious to the Western Federation of
Miners said the attorney. 1.-THE articles
which have been introduced here from
the Miners Magazine show the lasting
hatred that the organization bore him.
Never has a man heen more vilified
than he. Frank Steunenberg had been
a member of a labor union, so when
the mining troubles started in northern
Idaho the leaders of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners thought he would be
found on their side.
But Steunenberg thought more Of law
and order and his firm course in stamp
ing out the disorders aroused the en-
nifty of the miners organization"
Tracing Orchards movements about
the time of the tragedy Mr.. Hawley told
of his meeting with Jack Simpkins,
member of the executive board of the
federation, who wanted to help in the
destruction of Steunenberg. The two
went together to Caldwell on this mission
of murder.
Simpkins in company with Orchard was
seen time after time about the home of
the former governor.
Slmpkins Called Away
Tell me your verdict, gentlemen of
the jury exclaimed Hawley. What this
man Simpkins, this associate of Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone, this leader of
lHe WESTERN feu6TdllOH Oh miners, was
doing there If it was not to accomplish
the death of Steunenberg?
"Simpkins was finally called away to
meeting of the federation in Denver,
leaving the murder to Harry Orchard,
in whom he had reason to repose every
confidence.
ION the eve of the new year the ter
rible deed was accomplished. The death |
of Steunenberg was a shock not only |
to his home community, to the state
over which he had ruled, but to the |
entire nation.
'It was for this act, the killing of |
Frank Steunenberg by Harry Orchard, !
with the assistance of Jack Simpkins and |
at the instigation of William D. Haywood, |
Charles H. Meyer and George A. Petit |
bone, that this trial has been had" de- |
clared the prosecutor.
AS connecting Haywood, Meyer and
Pettibone directly with Orchard at the
time of the killing of Steunenberg Mr..
Hawley read the letter which reached
Orchard in the Jail at Caldwell and which
Orchard testified was in the handwriting
of George A. Pettibone. The letter read:
THAT was sent to Jack for you and
should reach you soon"
At this same time Haywood admitted
sending n draft for S100 to Iacly SiY,p1rtps
