HAYWOOD 5 Guilt
URGED BY BORAH
Idaho Senator Makes the Clos
ing Argument in Famous
Boise Trial
CASE TO JURY SATURDAY
Wife Of Murdered Governor Sits Near
Haywood-eorah Declares 'mp''0a-
ton of Detectives Is Absurd-says
Conspiracy to Kill steuenbers Has
Been Proven.

Boise. July 26.--As early as o'clock
this morning the court house doors
We're beseiged by hundreds seeking ad-
mittance to the limited court room,
Senator Borah being popular as an Or
ator. Inside the court, as the next to
the last day OF the trail began, Hay
wood sat surrounded by his family.
Mrs. Frank steunenherg, wife of the
murdered governor, and son Julian.
were early in the court room and when
they had been shown to seats within
the attorneys rail, they found them
selves within seven or eight feet Of
Haywood himself
Borah began by reviewing briefly the
points heard 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 Orchard, touching first
the murder of Steunenberg, and hark-
ing over some of the most important
incidents developed in the testimony.
Il hardly need to tell you sensible
men, declared the pleader that the
Pinkerton detectives had nothing to do
with the assassination of Stunenberg.
That is one of the most absurd OF the
many absurd things brought into the
case by the learned counsel for the de-
/ fense-'
Borah, in laying the foundation for
T.: - o{N tAl
that Orchard went to Caldwell from
Denver. and fresh from the association
with an officer Of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners, who regarded Steunen-
berg as an enemy. He then touched
upon the fact that Marion Moore an
officer of the federation. in testifying
for the defense. admitted he agreed
with Orchard to deceive Orchards
wife when Orchard wished to desert
her.
Orchard impeiled by Crime.
"Orchard left Denver with crime In
his heart, an impelling, compelling
force, and came from Denver" said
Borah. George Pettibone helped Or
chard to pack his utensils for the mur-
der in his trunk. Why is Pettibone not
here to deny it? His silence is con-
fession of his guilt. Pettibones abb
sence is an absolute CONFEDERATION OF
Orchard"
Orchard Held No Grudse.
Taking up the question of personal
motive, the defense had charged
against Orchard. Borah' showed the
jury the deed by which Orchard had
parted. absolutely and forever. with his
interest in the Hercules mine, fourteen
months before General Merriam and
the negro troops marched into Couer
z D'Alenes. "This deed. the letters and
kilograms and all other evidence, is not
subject to being tampered with to
corroborate Orchards. and 1t fits in
precisely with the story he has told
you. Steunenberg did not cause Or
chard to lose his interest in the mine,
so how could he have entertained a
mur,ierous grudge?"
Conspiracy Proved, Says Borah.
"Simpkins was the man who went to
Attorney Miller at Spokane. Sinlpkins
was the man who sent the mysterious
and unexplained telegram to Hay
wood The wording of Sirnpkins' tel
gram" Borah declared, showed he
knew Haywood had full knowledge of
the case and Haywood got busy Fol-
low simpkins. Orchard, Moyer Hay
wood and Pettibone from Denver to
the death of Steunenberg at Caldwell.
Review testimony. watch their actions
and say to you an absolute and con-
certed conspiracy has been proven.
They killed Steunenberg to show the
world that they never forgot an enc
my. Where is Pettibone-afraid to
speak? Where is Simpkins, who could
tell so much? He is in a corner.
Witnesses Corroborate Orchard.
Borah took up one by one, the witt
nessesf for the defense who he said
corroborated Orchard and proved the
criminal conspiracy because they had
covered and protected Orchard up to
the time he confessed and implicated
s Haywood. Among these We're Bill
Easterly. w. F. Davis, David Coates,
x-lieutenant governor of Colorado,
Lottie Day Eugene Fngley former at
torney general Of Colorado.
Is Industrial War Murder?
The senator next read effectively
to the fury the articles denouncing>
Steunenberg in the miners magazine.
s'There is much talk here and in the
argument Of the counsel about the in
dustrial war. There is an Industrial
war, but 1t is for you men to determ-
inc whether the Industrial warfare
shall be carried out on the principle
OF murder.
"The defense tells MS that outside
of Orchards testimony there is moth
ing here to prove CONSPIRACY. What
more do you want? We put Orchard
and Simpkins and Mover and Hay
wood and Pettibone together in Dem
YER Now watch them as they move to
the scene of Staunenbere's murder"
Shows Jury Pettibone's Letter.
Briefly Borah showed TIE friendship
existing among the Guirtet Then he
hurled a the Jury letter which Or
