nothing for what Pettibone may have done :;
We will take care of him later.
Il tell you, and I think the court will in
Struct you, that in a case of this character
the acts of Pettibone are the acts of Hay
wood; the unexplained letters and tele-
grams of George Pettibone and Jack S!mp-
kins are the unexplained letters and tele-
ans of William d. Haywood.
The only question here is as to whether
the evidence has been adduced to satisfy
you that there was conspiracy. Counsel
for the defense has said we have not shown
an inner circle or an organized bureau
for crime. Well, l could pretty nearly rest
the proof of that proposition on the argu-
ment of Mr.. Darrow himself
Banded to Commit Crime.
The evidence in this case shows that
somewhere in the Western Federation of
Miners there Is a power which controlled
a power which commits crimes. 1t is proved
as clearly as the fact that Frank Steunen-
berg is dead Take the Doth of April, 1Ss9
when the members of the Western Fede-a-
ton of Miners walked boldly from their
work, organized with military precision,
went to Wardner and there blew up the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill. Mr.. Dar-
tells you himself that the miners went
back the next day to their work in the
mines. Why did they? Because they be-
ieved there was no such thing as law and
oder in the state of Idaho.
"Oh, no, gentlemen of the jury, this was
ern Federation of Miners. What was it?
Was it an accident? Jim Shayne was
killed. Oh yes, but he was a 'scab,' Dar-
row tells you. The Bunker Hill mine was
blown up? Oh, yes; but 1T employed non
union men. Darrow says that whenever
you get a thousand men together to go
and do a thing it is something that ought
to be done. That may be the rule In Chi
cago, but it does not go in Idaho.
"Darrow has painted Harry Orchard to
you as veritable devil, and l agree with
him.
Senator Borah declared that Attorney
Darrow in his address to the jury had Of
fered subtle justification for everything
charged against the defense. He set him.
self up in defiance of all the laws of public
decency.
IF the doctrine that Darrow preached to
you be true, l not surprised that these
men committed murder said Senator Bo-
rah, who then turned upon Attorney Rich
ardson and declared that if Orchard is
crazy it was compliment to one of the
greatest lawyers in the west that the ma
MAC did not disclose any of his insanity in
a weeks cross-eXamination.
The counsel for the Defense said Sem
ator Borah, tell you that Orchard was
caught redhanded in the act of killing
Steunenberg; that he confessed to save his
own neck. and that if he had not confessed
the daisies would have been blooming on
his grave for a year past. Oh, no, gentle
men of the jury, if Orchard had not con-
fessed the attorneys for the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners would be in this court
room defending and eulogiZing him as a
brave man, a member OF the great working
class and my friend Richardson would con-
vince you beyond a reasonable doubt that
Orchard could not be guilty of the killing
of Gov. Steunenberg, because he was in
his room at the Saratoga Hotel when the
bomb went off.
''DarrOw says my associate has ~Orchar rd-
it's Well. maybe he has, but he got it
from the depths of the Western Fedora ton
of Miners. They had 'Orcharditis first.
He was one of them a delegate to their
convention, a visitor to their homes. But
the difference is that we have him tied
up in tn, penitentiary. while they were
sending him broadcast through the country
