they may have formed during the past

Some of His Points.
1T is my intention to carry out my
argument, if l am not overcome by
heat, in the following order: First, I
shall discuss the law as applied to
this case and to the prosecutions wit
ness; second, l shall discuss the hs-
tory of the Western Federation as
shown by the evidence; third, l shall
discuss the general conditions which
prevailed at Occur d'Alene and at
Cripple Creek; fourth, 1 shall dis.
cuss the series of events relied upon
by the state to prove conspiracy; fifth,
l shall devote myself to the ascertain
ment Of the particular offense the de-
PENDANT is here on trial for; sixth, l
shal consider Orchard under arrest;
seventh, l shall consider Orchard while
in the pen; eighth, l shall devote
myself to the impeachment of Orchard;
ninth, to the treatment of Haywood,
the n and method and reasons
therefor; tenth, l shall devote myself
to reasons why certain witnesses did
not testify for the prosecution and 9TH
ers did not testify for the defense;
eleventh, and finally, 1 shall discuss
this case as it appears before this jury.
When l have finished these eleven sub
divisions l will have done all 1 can to
assist the jury in arriving at a proper
and just verdict in this case"
