Boise, Idaho. July 24--The career
Of Frank steunenberg. the murdered
governor of Idaho, was discussed st
some length this afternoon by clAr.
ence Darrow in his plea in behalf Of
William d. Haywood Justlfying The
articles published in the Miners Mag
azine, barrow said the action Cf
Steunenberg In asking for United
States troops 20 quell riot and the
esta plishment of martial law in 1889
wa uniustifiable and had properly
stirred up intense feeling In labor cir
ces against the governor.
Darrow's argument. unfinished to-
night, developed into an appeal for
labor as against capital and a denun-
clation Of all opposition to the unions
He held an audience startled ana
open-monthed, as one after another
the sentiments poured from his lips
His attack on Orchard was expecscI,
and in this respect he fulfilled and
surpassed the limit OF sensation

and 1t was only when yituperatiOa
that Darr0w turned to James II. Haw-
ley, the leading counsel for the state,
and the Pinkerton detectives for
something ON which to pour the lesser
volume of his abuse
The state Of idaho came hi for q
large share Of Mr. Darrow's denun-
citation for the part It has played In
the prosecution. Culture. education
and wealth each in turn were de-
scribed as constituting a combination
against the working men, the unedu-
Gated and the poor. Darrow sneered
at the universities.
And what Is a cultured man." he
cried. but cruel tyrant always?"
Reaching the climax Of denuncia-
tiOn Of sympathy for the working
class and hatred for the rich, he as
sailed the constitution of the country
and cried:
"The constitutions It is here only
to destroy the laws made for the BEN
eft OF the poor"
Darrow's defense of labor unions
and of union men was passionate, and
his eulogy Of the Western Federation
eloquent Lovingly he touched on the
beauty of self-sacrifice found In the
struggle for humanity where only
the working man Is found" and In the
bitferest sarcasm, his voice pitched to
its highest note and his arms up
lifted, he heaped abuse upon the sell
fish rich and the administration of tho
state of Idaho.
In opening, Darrow impressed g e
chief case on the twelve men In tie
box and declared that the defenda
IS In idaho as an alien, brought 1,5Oo
miles from his home into a commune
ity and before a jury which does not
view his life or industry as the men
accused OF the murder OF Governor
Steunenberg have been taught TO
look at It.
eThe defendant in this case" de-
clared Darrow. has been brought to
trial in the home Of man who was
killed in a most cowardly way. Many
of you on this jury voted for Steun-
enberg for governor One Of you had
business relations with him, while IN
the house OF another Of you he made
his home for two years
You are almost Of the family cir
Gle Of the murdered man. and none OF

interest with the defendant. Under
these circumstances I can but ask you

The attorney asked for fair ana
impartial trial, and that the Jury be
guided by the evidence only. He said
the prosecution knew II could not
convict on exact evidence. and was
relying on forced circumstances to get
a verdict
He called on the Jury for clear
cut verdict and asked them not %
compromise on any verdict OF murder
or manslaughter. or murder IN the
second degree. :.
