statement of Governor Gooding that no
promises had been made to Orchard, and
said:
Never Intended Fair Trial"
eff it was not entirely patent TO tho
whole civilized world that the Governor
of this State never intended that we
should have a fair trial for these de-
PENDANTS here before, IL is certainly pat
ent at this time.
Mr.. Darrow, who followed Mr.. Rich
ardson, said in part:
''Of course there can be but one pur-
pose in this joint reception. of the Cow
ernor and his friend: Mr.. Orchard, and
that was to influence this case at this
time. 1t seems TO me that this effort
to give Mr.. Orchard credence must have
come directly from the disclosures made
by the examination of various jurors as
to what they thought of Orchard and
his confession and that in view of this
they have permitted the newspaper men
to see him and give out n lot of stun
which upon It's face was manufactured,
lot of maudin religious ldiocy-a
man telling about books on religious
subjects he has been reading. In tsae
of his whole attitude of mind for his
whole life and the Governor coming IN.
and stating something which must APP
pear TO every intelligent man as being
absolutely untrue, that this man delb-
crately placed his neck IN the halter
without any hope OF reward. and scat
tering that broadcast at this time when
we have got twelve men in the box
and fifty venremen unexamincd.
Wants Governor Sent For.
The court interrupted to send for the
prosecuting attorney, and when My,
Darrow resumed he suggested that the
Governor be called before the court.

gcsted that possibly both the defense
and the court were under misappre~

papers which had maligned the prose

be the evidence in the case. He SAID
that the condition of Orchard had been
absolutely misstated and misunderstood.

Defends the Governor
Mr. Hawley took the same ground as
to the other correspondents who saw
Orchard Yesterday, and declared that
he did not believe that Governor Good
ing was seeking in any way to ere
ltc prejudice. He said that the matter
operated against the prosecution rather
man the defense.
Senator Borah said that he could en-
