pNKERTON DETECTIVES
 CHARGED WITH CRIMES


 easiest mark he could find. We will show that he did not participate In most of the crimes of which he has here boasted. don't like to take any of the bloom off a peach like that. but while we will show he is not the mur- derer he boasts himself. We will com pensate him by proving him to be the most monumental liar that ever exist cd.
 Before our first witness leaves the stand, gentlemen. we will convince you; we will even convince Mir. Flaw ley himself, that this man Orchard has lied out most of the essential points of his story We will have from twenty five to thirty witnesses who will take the stand and contradict this man ab- soIutely. Some of these will be miners but others will be the most responsi- ble people.
 If Orchard today held his one- six teenth interest in the Hercules Mine, he would be worth half a million dol lars; but I think he'd rather have what he's got because 1t is more valuable to the newspapers.
 MT. Darrow said that when Orchard left the Couer d'Alenes after the blowing up of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mine. Haywood was only a plain ordinary working miner at Sil- yer City, Idaho, where he lived a great CT part of his working life. in the snow-capped mountains, which can be seen from the Boise court room. It was not until 1901 that Haywood be- came secretary and treasurer of the Federation of miners.
 "As for Pettibone, he was not sven a miner at that time. He ran little store down in Denver" continued MT. Darrow, selling clothes, wearings, lace curtains, rugs, Bibles and other novel; ties on the installment plan. Pettibone had been a miner in 1892 in the Couer d'Allenes. He was arrested there and put in jail. and my friend, MT. Hawley, got him out. He then decided to quit mining"
 Describes Defendants.
 MT. Darrow went on to describe the three defendants In the Steunenberg murder in detail. He declared that Haywood was born in Utah, an Ameri- can citizen. whose forefathers came to America prior to the revolution. He is a plain, blunt, courageous fighting man." declared MT. Darrow, lighting the militia when necessary, fighting for the rights of workingmen; fighting for the protection of the widows and or phans.
 And Mover. what of Moyerf A blunt, honest man whose ancestors were honest men. Mover was the man who, as the head of the Western Federation of Miners. fought every conceivable fight, as men like him. born of such stock, always fight. Mover was a man whose sturdy honesty and quiet bravery won the confidence and held the respect of every one
 And what about Petitioner George Pettibone had never been a member of the Western Federation of Miners He had mined and then started his store. A happy, careless. sunny man. with @ laugh and 8 smile for every one.
 There was not man, woman or child in the district who was not his friend. Not lame dog or cat which could not find a home in his woodshed. That was George Pettibone."
 Pettibone, the attorney said, was never intimately connected with the Western Federation of Miners or its of- ficers.
 Mr. DaErow then took up Orchards life at Cripple Creek. He declared that Orchard burned a saloon and high gadded" at the very outset of his ca reer. He went into the story of the alleged attempt to wreck the train of the Florence and Cripple Creek Rail- road. which had falsely been laid to the Western Federation of Miners and declared the first tima Haywood, Mover or Pettibone had seen Orchard was when the man came to Denver on a pass on money issued by s. D. Scott, chief of detectives of the Florence and Cripple Creek Railroad
 An oily, slimy fellow" MT. Darrow termed the detective. Cripple Creek had become the Waterloo fo the Wes- tern Federation of Miners in Colorado" " said MT. Darrow. "The organization had fine halls, cooperative stores, li- braries, etc. It was flourishing and doing something until 1t took chance in going out to help tne striking smelt- CT men in Colorado City"
 Would Wreck Union.
 MT. Darrow said the attempt to wreck a train was a plot of the rail- way company and the mine owners as- sociation to wreck the union. He said the defense would show that Orchard was constantly in company with the de- tectiyes of the railroad and the mine owners.
 And while honest, hard working miners were denied the privilege of passing the military lines. this leper, orchard, went in and out as he pleased. General orders were issued that Harry Orchard should go and come when he wanted.
 Orchard came to Denver and formed { slight acquaintance with Haywood Moy CT and Pettibone. Later Mover went tt Cripple Creek to attend the trial O. some men charged with the wreckini of the train. There he met Orchard who ingratiated himself with Mover who trusted him. Orchard gained Movers confidence but we will prove that Mover never said the things t' him that Orchard claims were said No sooner. however. had Mover arrived in Telluride than he was arrested anC thrown into the bull pen,' where ht remained for many months, unable tC take any part in any further conspir' acies.'
 Taking up next the blowing up oI the Independence depot, MT. DarroW said he did not know whether Or chard blew it up or not, but he wal inclined to believe that he did not The depot was a worthless buildings sidetrack stop for working trains. Il was not worth white chip, declared the attorney. T won't say the mine owners or detectives wanted to xii anybody at this depot. If the powder could be touched off just before the train arrived and before the men got there 1t would not kill anybody, but 1t would be another attempt in the line of Western Federation of Miners to get rid of lot of scabs."
 Describing the conditions which fol lowed the explosion of the Indepen-
