Articles Show Animus.
For the rest IT was day of reading
with Senator Borah as first reader
Judge Wood admitted many of the
strongly worded articles of the Miners
Magazine. IN which Frank Steunenberg
was bitterly denounced, and one
after another they were let in Borah
read them 10 the jury. These were
admitted ms showing thc animus of
the federation officials against Steunen-
berg, and as showing animus against
Justices Goddard and Gabbcrt OF the
Supreme Court of Colorado, whom
Harry Orchard swore he tried many
times 10 kill, The State introduced
in evidence the decisions of those
Judges on the Colorado eight-hour law
and the habeas corpus application of
Charles II, Mover
The defense insisted that Borah read
every word III both decisions, and
the first. which took forty-tve
minutes to 60 over. was read before the
noon recess, and cleared the court
of all save those whose duty required
them TO stay. The other was read with
like effect soon before adjournment
for the day. Then Attorneys Richard
son and Darrow called for the dissent
ing opinion in the Meyer case as
matter of fairness, and demanded that
Borah read that also. Judge Wood
took pity upon the weary reader,
however. and said that if the de-
fense wanted the dissenting opinion it
must designate one of its counsel TO
read it Mr., Darrow was selected as
reader, but he viii not be beard until
tomorrow.
To practically every piece of testi-
mony offered during the day the de-
fense first offered objection. then made
n motion TO strike out, and lastly took
an exception on the record To all
evidence connected with the general
conspiracy alleged by the State tho
objections Of the defense included tho
that the acts shown
We're not binding on the defendant. and
that they were not connected with
the Steuncnberg murder, and there
was frequent objccting 10 the evidence
offered to corroboratc the testimony Of
Harry Orchard an alleged accomplice.
in the manner provided by the statute.
Court Admits Some Articles.
The jury not brought into court
this morning until after Judge Wood had
handed down his opinion us to the admis-
sibility of certain articles from the Min
ers Magazine as showing the animus OF
the controlling officers of the Western
Federation Of Miners toward former Cow
ernor Steuncnberg and others. Judge

the articles should be admitted. These
we're the ones printed prior to the death
of Governor Stcunenbe:S. AS 10 articles
