 Boise. July 27.--"Watch these five men--Simpkins, Orchard, Haywood. Mover and Pettibone--Steunenb is to die in 30 days. Watch them. We have got them together. They are moving to the scene"
 This was the dramatic climax reached Friday morning in the Hay wood trial, when for an hour and a half Senator Borah, making the last argument in the Haywood case. had woven craftily on the meshes of his net. His theme was onspiracy-the essence of the case of the state of Ida ho in it's effort to show that Harry Or chard was only the tool of Haywood when he killed the former governor. Now watch this quintet" he criel triumphantly, when, having laid his foundation, piece by piece, using only the testimony of witnesses for the de fense itself, picking it out from the mass of mixed material, he showed the intimacy between Orchard and the highest officers of the Western Federation of Miners.
 The argument of the morning cen tered in Caldwell, but the scenes changed rapidly. each flash showing an officer, friend or member of the l Western Federation of Miners the confidant and intimate friend of Harry l Orchard.
 As early as o'clock the courthouse doors were besieged by hundreds seek ing admittance to the limited court room, Senator Borah being popular as an orator in this, his home city. So great was the throng that court offici- als and others having business at the trial had to find their way into the l building Dy devious ways, most of them climbing a steep improvised stairway in the rear. The jury was also brought up these stairs.
 Inside the court, as the next to the last day of the trial began, Haywood sat surrounded by his family. His in- valid wife, whose helpless condition and pallid face have attracted so much attention and sympathy sat immediate | ly at his right and next to her was the gray haired mother, who on Thursday could not restrain the tears which welled to her eyes as Clarence Oar row, of Chicago, made the last plea | for the life of her son. The prisoners daughter and sister were also in the family circle, the only absentees being the little l0-year-old girl. Henrietta | ,,.Ir hnr b4 pifn of the murdered governor, and her stalwart son. Julian. were early in the courtroom and when they had been shown to seats inside the attorneys rail, found themselves within seven or eight feet of Haywood himself. At torneys from many cities in the west have come to Boise for the last argu- ments and constituted a large propor- ton of Fridays big audience. When the last seats were occupied, disap- pointed hundreds remained on the courthouse lawn to catch what they could of Senator Borah's address as the words filtered out of the windows.
 Senator Borah began by reviewing briefly the points made in the opening hour of his address to the jury last night. He said he would go briefly over the trail of blood left by Harry Orchard, taking first the murder of Governor Steunenberg and marking back over some of the most important incidents developed in the testimony
 q hardly need tell you sensible men," declared the pleader, that f;nkcrton detectives had nothing to [" with the assassination of Frank stcunenberg That is one of the most absard of the many absurd things brought into this case by the learned counsel of the defense"
 Taking up the question of the per sonal motive the defense had charged against Orchard. Senator Boraf showed to the jury the deed by whicl Orchard had parted absolutely and for ever with his interest in the Hercule: mine IA months before General Mer riam and his negro troops marched in to the Occur d'Alenes.
 This deed, the letters and telegrami and all the other evidence not suzjec to being tempered with in this case corroborate Harry Orchard and fit fl precisely with the story he has tolC ] you. Gov. Steunenberg did not cause Orchard to lose his interest in thu mine, so how could he have entertain cd murderous grudge?
 Senator Borah took up one by on' the witnesses for the defense who h, said corroborated Orchard and proved criminal conspiracy because the! had covered and protected Orchard ul to the time he confessed and implicat cd Haywood
