rah has in the hearts of the Idaho
people was we'll demonstrated by the
crowd which assembled to hear him
| make the closing argument in the
great trial. Fully 1000 people were
| turned away. The halls leading to the
| court room were crowded and out on
| the lawn ears were strained to hear
the eloquent sentences that fell from
| the trained lips of Idaho's talented
| lr7yer and orator. Senator Borah
did not go infinitely into the case as
| he said Mr.. Hawley had so fully COW

that words cannot describe he de-
nounced the methods employed in

veracity of James H. Hawley, the
leading counsel in the case, who for
forty years had praeticed law In Ida
no and was above reproach, Last
night there was no question about
the interest of the jury. They hardly
took their eyes off the Senator's face.
This is a murder trial and not war
| against organized labor" he said.
He told the jury that unless they
thought Mr.. Haywood was guilty
from the evidence given, they were
to give him his liberty as it was not
fight against the Western Fedora
ton, but an effort to ferret out the
guilty parties for the death of ex-
Gov. Steunenberg but we do not
want to uphold organized labor to
shield a crime. He then took up a
discussion of the crime of December
80, 1905. He stated that the man
who had committed that crime was
experienced criminal and the meth-'
bomb was not alone in the crime:
"If you stood at the shattered gate
spattered with the blood of Governor
Steunenberg that awful night, and
from there followed back over the
various trails of Orchard, you will
find that every one of those trails
lead finally up to the flight of stairs
up which he tramped that day to
bring Haywood down to see the dark
eys house. Borah pointed out that
the first thing discovered when Or
chards trunk was opened was that he
had come from Denver. The first
visitor he was Attorney Sullivan oil
: Denver, and all along, always the
! compass pointed to Denver, show
ing conclusively that his inspiration
/ thing that the defense had dwelt up
> on was the theory that the reason
: Orchard had made his confession

cause he had been promised immu.
nifty from punishment This Mr.
5 Borah denied and stated that in his
opinion Orchard would be confined
y in the penitentiary until such time al
he was ready to be tried. He said.
, '"The man who says that l have evel
connived with Harry Orchard does
not know the kind of blood that runs
in every vein of my body"
