pettibonc or Adams.
Boise, Ida, July 22.-Continuing his
argument and analyzing OF the evil
dence in the Haywood case ]. II. Haw.
ley took up the Orchard story OF his
experiences and criminal record in
Colorado, his trip to Wyoming and the
attempt on the life of Fred Bradley OF
San Francisco.
With the utmost deliberation the
leading counsel for the state charged
willful perjury against several wit
nesses. He argued the truth of Or
chard's story and said that two men
In particular might have been brought
to contradict him, but that the defense
was afraid to produce either Pettibone
or Adams and he said Adams had been
brought to Boise from jail In Sho-
shone county In order that the defense
might use him as witness.
That statement is false and counsel
knows It, promptly shouted Clarence
Darrow, for the defense.
Hawley took a step closer to the de-
fense table and. shaking his finger
close to Darrow's face, he said:
When counsel says that he utters
a deliberate falsehood."
The atmosphere here was charged
with danger. Sheriff Hodgins stood
UP alert and his deputies drew in
closer, but Judge Wood, With sharp
command and insistent warning,
patched up temporary peace.
Mr. Hawley first devoted his atten.
tion to the alleged attempt to wreck
train on the Florence and Cripple
Creek railroad. This was one of the
incidents of the Colorado labor trou
bles testified to by Harry Orchard.
InmateriaI to the Issue.
This matter came out In Orchard s
testimony" said Mr.. Hawley, "but it
was absolutely immaterial to the issue
here involved. But the defense has
taken this incident and has tried to
build up out OF it conspiracy on the
part OF the mine owners against the
Western Federation OF Miners. Or
chard admitted that he had reported
the alleged attempt to detectives in
the employ of the Mine Owners asso-
citation and to the railroad The de-
fense has brought two women wit.
nesses here to testify that they saw

Ing TO secure money from all the
sources he could and | am not going
to defend him for his double dealing in
taking money from both the Western
Federation of Miners and the railroad
company. I am not here to paint
Harry Orchard in anything but his
true colors. There is but one claim
we make for him and that Is that he
has told you the truth. This fact has
been indelibly fixed by all the circum.
stances in the case"
Taking up the matter of the at
tempted assassination Of Governor
Peabody Mr.. Hawley repeated much
of the testimony of Orchard as to the
plans he and Steve Adams laid to kill
the governor. Orchards testimony
was amply corroborated. counsel de-
clared The attorney told Of Governor
Peabody's activities In the Colorado
troubles and declared that the strong.
est motive for his taking off was con-
nected with the Western Federation
OF Miners.

JAPANESE ON GUARD
Two Regiments Of MikadO's Sol.
diers at Korean Capital.
NEW EMPEROR IS CROWNED
Ceremonies Attending Accession Of
Crown Prince Carried Out-Aileged
Plot of Dethroned Ruler to Murder
the Entire Cabinet.

Seoul, Korea, July 22.-The cere
monies attending the accession OF the
crown prince to the throne we're car
ried out at 10 a. m. In response to
requests eighty Japanese and other
officials, including Marquis Ito witt,
his military staff and many consuls
general, were received In audience at
4:30 p. m.
After the accession of the crown
prince the former emperor took leave
OF the cabinet.
General Hasegawa's troops still gar
rison the palace and regiment from
Pingyang arrived at Seoul during the
morning to reinforce the Twentieth
regiment already here.
At 10 o'clock an alleged plot was
reported to Marquis Ito. He was told
that the imperial guard had been clan.
destinely ordered by the former EN-.
peror to enter the palace at midnight
and murder the whole cabinet which
was responsible for his abdication
This is the official explanation Of the
fact that the Japanese are garrisoning
the palace.
The Korean cabinet has formally
notified the japanese government of
the abdication of the emperor and the
accession of the crown prince. Dur.
ing the night the imperial deputies
visited the mausoleums and made the
same announcement to the spirits OF
their ancestors.
Attempt to Murder Cabinet.
A concentrated effort was made at
D. m. to murder the entire cabinet
After haranguing at the Temple of
Heaven mob of 1000 marched mile
to the mansion of Lwanyung, which
they sacked and burned. The same
fate was then visited on the homes of
the prime minister and others.
The same mob then proceeded to
the home of the minister of war, near
the old palace, but here they were
met by Japanese guards, who repulsed
the rioters, killing and wounding
many.
The shops of Seoul have been closed
now for thirty-six hours. The crowds
are greater and the native spirit Is
higher, necessitating greater show
of military force, as the people are
encouraged and infiamed by the sew
eral killings.
General Hasegawa has two machine
guns placed in the palace square. Not
only is the Korean army regarded as
impotent to cope with the situation,
but the numbers of Japanese troops
are wholly inadequate. Arrangements
have been made for reinforcing them
from Shimoneseki
Hostilities are directed wholly
against the Japanese. Other foreign
ers are safe. Much apprehension is
felt for the safety of Japanese at In
terror places when the Korean masses
learn, as they will in a few days, of
the momentous events that have oc-
Cured.

are working to the advantage OF ia
