PLEADING FOR
HAYWOOD'SL|FE
COUNSEL FOR DEFENSE ASKS
JURY NOT TO CONVICT AT BE-
HEST OF NINE OWNERS.
Orchard Is Denounced at the Muir
derer of Steunenberg and Is
Scored by Richardson.

Boise, Idaho, July 24.-Declaring
Harry Orchard was a maniac pos
sessed with a lust for murder-a
desire to glut disordered brain with
the blood of his fellow man-Attor-
ney K. +. Richardson. continuing his
plea for the life of William ID, Hay
wood. told the jury today that the
defense was ready and willing to ad-
NIT that Orchard accomplished the
taking OF Of Governor Steunenberg
in the manner described by him on
the witness stand.
Orchard was painted as man who
fancied there was glory in spec
tacular crime, Day after day OPP
portunity was offered to him to kill
Governor Steunenberg in compare
tive safety to himself, but rather
than so kill a man whose giant
stature offered a target as big as a
barn door" Orchard planted bomb
and planned the deed so that II
might attract the greatest amount
of attention.
Richardson assered that Orchard
had a motive against Governor Steu-
nenberg for the real or fancied loss
of his interest in the Hercules mine
through being driven out OF the
Coeur d'Alenes.
or Orchards story Of his many at
tempts upon the lives of men said
to have been marked for death by
the federation, Mr.. Richardson said
II was the most absurd thing on the
face of the earth. He declared that
It would be long time before the
law would sanction a conviction on
such testimony as had been adduced
against Haywood and he pleaded
with the jury not to put q halter
around the neck OF his client "at the
behest OF the Mine Owners Associa-
tion and Its representatives"
The general argument Of the
prosecution" said Mr.. Richardson
seems to be that the Federation oi
Miners stirred up things and the best
way to secure quiet 10 to hang these
leaders. II any one wants this
there will have to be Wholesale hang
ings. The leaders OF all factions
political, religious and labor. will al
have to be put out OF the way before
quiet can be secured, and the Law
prohibits this"
Richardson denounced Genera
Sherman Bell as the 'veriest brag
CART the world ever knew" He de
clared that he. more than any othel
man in the history of this country
deserved the contempt of every labo
man.
As to the disappearance OF Jacl
SimpkiIs following the death OF Gov
ernor Steunenberg, Attorney Rich
ardson said he, too. would have fle,
to hiding under similar circum
stances, although there was not al
iota of evidence to connect Simpkin
with the crime. Simpklns had ha,
one experience in an Idaho bullpe
and felt his only safety was In flight
Attorney Richardson announce
that he would close his address to tn
