Richardson viii Have Nothing TO Do
With The Defense of Fed
eration-They Are
At Outs.

Some very interesting develop
ments are following the acquittal OF
william d. Haywood. Attorney Rich
ardson and Attorney Darrow, who
conducted the successful defense of
Haywood, have had falling out and
Richardson declares he will have no
thing more to do with the Western
Federation cases il Darrow is to
still be connected with the cases, in
fact yesterday in Denver Mr. Richard
son announced that he would formal
ly retire from further participation in
the defense of the Western Fedora
ton leaders. He declares that Dar-
row preached Socialism while Hay
woods life was at stake and that
Darrow's argument before the jury
was rank"
In an interview in yesterday morn
ing's Denver News Attorney Richard
son made the following interesting
statements:
''It is true that I have refused to
work with Mr.. Darrow any further"
he said. "Since you have asked me
point blank l will say it again:
will not work with Mr.. Darrow under
any consideration.
"The whole sum and substance of
the matter is that / can not endure
Darrow's methods. / don't sanction
Socialism, at least, not when It is
coupled with the trying of a legal
uit-especially when that case is a
murder case and means a mans life.
Preaching Socialism and trying a
law case are two entirely different
matters. If you don't believe it, look
at Darrow's closing speech before the
jury 1t was rank. 1t was enough
to hang any man regardless of the
l. =
He was the same way all during
the trial Socialism, to him, meant
more than the winning or losing of
/ the case. At least he preached and
taught and talked about Socialism at
every chance, regardless of the point
at issue.
'If Darrow wishes to try any more
cases, he will have to find someone
! else to associate with, for l can not
and will not go through another such
case as the one we have just been
through with an instructor in Social
ism as an associate.
Mr.. Darrow handles a law suit
or did the Haywood case-not from
the standpoint of a lawyer, but as
though it were social propaganda.
This method of procedure created
much disgust among the associated
counsel for the defense throughout
the trial. However, l do not know
that that was the reason for Mr.. Nu-
I gents resignation. l know nothing OF
that phase of the matter"
i Then comes rumors of split up be-
tween Meyer and Haywood and al
though, as announced in the dispat-
ches yesterday. each gentleman de-
nies that there is any friction, the cir
: cumstances give good ground to the
belief that there has been a disagree
ment. 1t is said that there has been
disagreement. 1t is said that there
has been no communication whatever
between Meyer and Haywood since
the trial and Meyers failure to ac-
1 company Haywood to Denver has not
been quite fully explained. Haywood
was not present in court when Meyer
was granted bail and it is said that
Meyer was shaving Sunday morning
) when told of the Haywood verdict and
that he did not stop shaving or make
any comment.
1 1t is known that Meyer disapproves
of the big demonstration to be held in
! Denver on the grounds that there
should be no demonstration until Geo
A. Pettibone secures his freedom and
then general celebration will be in
order
