"and shall not attempt to say. But at
any rate, for the first time in the ad-
ministration NoI American justice the bull
pen was called into being Men were put
In this bull pen, perhaps as matter of
necessity, but certainly without due pro-
cess of law.
THE leaders of the Western Federation

hearing. So far reaching was this in
Huence," declared Mr.. Richardson, that
1t extended even to the White House -
The attorney begged the jurors to Law
aside any impression they may have
formed from reading the newspapers dur
ing the past year and to start with him
and go through the various events one
by one without feeling or prejudice.
Standard oil Disturbing Element
DelVing into the Occur d'Alene troubles,
Mr.. Richardson declared that most of the
mines there were owned by the Standard
OIL company, and that wherever con-
ditions were such as to create a Rookie
feller atsone end of the line and a man
more or less friction and trouble is bound
to occur The Bunker Hill property had
been turned in for taxation at 100000, but
after the mill was blown up a loss of
$500, 900 was claimed.
Before taking up the Cripple Creek
troubles, Mr.. Richardson returned to the
history of the Western Federation of
Miners and pointed out what its objects
| had been-to better conditions, to care
for it's sick and dying, the widows and
orphans of its members. He ridiculed the
idea that anyone could claim that 10000
workingmen organized for their better
ment could be termed 10000 criminals
AS to Cripple Creek, Mr.. Richardson
dwelt again upon the fact that many of
the mines were owned by the Standard
Oil company. Wherever that company
operates, be it in Colorado or Michigan,
the attorney asserted, there was always
some sort of labor trouble.
And labor" he exclaimed, always gets
the worst of it, 1 don't know whether
labor is always right or sometimes
wrong, but l do say that it is not right
that the laboring man should bear the
brunt of what he doesn't do"
Richardson next told of the coming of
Harry Orchard into the Cripple Creek
district. He recalled the early crimes of
which Orchard confessed. He even
gambled away his interest in the Her
cules prospect-according to his own
story" said the attorney.
Orchard GambIed Away His Mine
The defense claims Orchard lost his in
terest in this mine by being driven out
of the country and it was for this that
he murdered Steunenberg. Mr.. Richard
son went on to explain his statement as
to the gambling, that Orchard trans
ferred the mine but temporarily to Dan
Carolan, the present owner, and was
cheated out of it's redemption when COM
PEELED to leave the country
He next entered upon the Vindicator
mine explosion, arguing that it was an
accident pure and simple. Orchard, he
said. claimed credit for this, as he did

| for many other crimes he never com
mitted.
Mr.. Richardson said he would do all he
could to abridge his remarks on account
of the intense heat and believed he would
be able to conclude some time tomorrow
The contention of the defense, Richard
son declared, is that no matter whether
Orchard committed the crimes to which
he confessed or not, no connection has
been shown between Orchard and the de-
fendant at bar.
Orchards testimony as to receiving
money from the Western Federation of
Miners for crime was not corroborated
by single witness, Mr.. Richardson de-
clared, and should not be considered.
Both Meyer and Haywood denied that
they had ever given Orchard money, and
the state had failed to show any fund
from which any such money could have
been paid AS to the value of their tes-
timony, the attorney said Meyer and
Haywood stand in practically the same
light as Harry Orchard and are entitled
to the same belief.
Mine Owners Brought Militia
AS to the coming of the militia to
Cripple Creek, Attorney Richardson said
they came at the behest and in the serv-
ice of the Mine Owners association,
whose members were assessed so much
month TO buy the certlncateS OIL IN
debtedness issued by the state.
Mr.. Richardson declared that while un-
der the ruling of the court he was not
allowed to discuss the deportations from
Cripple Creek or the employment of de-
tectives in the various miners unions,
he wanted to dwell as much as possible
on conditions in Colorado.
81 want to weave into your minds the
thought that will come to you when we
reach the tragic event at Caldwell; so
you will understand we have on the one
side Harry Orchard, finely dressed and
clothed and in safety, although he is the
confessed murderer of your late COVER
nor, and on the other the effort to take
the blood of these men-to get them out
of the way at the instigatiop and for
the benefit of those whose names l shall
mention hereafter. What I want you men
to know is that If these men were guilty
of the crimes charged against them in
Colorado they would long ago have been
called to account to Colorado law"

of recoverfess we have seen in the pa
peFs fromst the states, but that they are

A. H Otis of the Honolulu Drug Co.
tells us of two interesting cases. One
was swollen with dropsy due to ad-
vanced Bright's Disease, and both the
patient and his physician had given up
hope. Otis kept urging a trial of the
new specific until the patient finally
consented. Recovery was complete,
the patient leaving a few months later
for California, where he now resides.
Another case was that of an officer
on one of the island steamers. He was
in a hospital and considered hopeless
when put ON the treatment. He has
now BEEN back at his post for some
time.
The specific that was employed is
called Fu1tonss Compound for Bright's

covery. Otis says there are very few
failures, but that 1t requires patience.
