by devious routes. When court OPEN
ed, hundreds of those who could not
gain admittance, remained on the
lawns to catch what they could of
Senator Borah's address as the words
filtered through the windows.
Inside the court room, as the next
to the last day of the trial began,
Haywood sat surrounded by his FAM
lily. His invalid wife, whose pallid
face and helpless condition have at
tracted so much attention and SYM
pathy, sat at his right, and next to
her was his gray-haired old mother.
The prisoners daughter and sister
were also in the family circle.
Mrs. Steunenbcrg Present.
Mrs. Frank Steunenberg, wife of
the murdered governor, and her son,
Julian, were also early in the court
room and were seated within seven
or eight feet of Haywood.
Senator Borah began his address
by reviewing briefly the points made
in the opening hour of his address
last night. He said that he would
go briefly over the trail of blood left
by Orchard, taking first the murder
of Governor Steunenberg. aud .hark-
ing back over some or the most i'm
portant incidents developed In the
testimony.
Crime I'm His Heart.
Borah declared that Orchard left
Denver with crime in his heart. Pet
tibone helped him pack the utensils
of murder in his trunk.
why was not Pettfbone here to
deny it? His silence" declare
Borah, "ls confession of guilt, mis-
absence Is an absolute corroboration
of Orchard"
Taking up the question of personal
motive in the murder of Steunenberg.
Borah showed to the jury the deed
by which Orchard parted with his
interest in the Hercules mine IA
months before General Merriam and
the negro troops marched into
Occur D'Alenes.
Calls Engley an Anarchist.
Borah took up, one by one, the wit
nesses for the defense, who, he said,
corroborated Orchard, and proved a
conspiracy, because they had covered
and protected Orchard up to the time
he confessed against Haywood.
OF General Eugene Engley, former
attorney general of Colorado, one of
the defense's witnesses, Borah said
he was IAN anarchist"
with such men as Engley in Of
flee. 1 am not surprised that Colo
rado has had hell within her borders
for the past ten years.
The senator next read to the jury
articles denouncing Steunenberg in
the Miners Magazine.
There Is much talk here and argu-
ment of counsel about the industrial
war. There is an industrial war, but
1t Is for you men to determine wheth-
er industrial warfare shall be carried
out on the principle of murder
THE defense tells you that outside
of Orchards testimony, there Is moth
ing here to prove a conspiracy,
What more do you want? We put
Orchard, and Simpkins and Meyer
and Haywood, and Pettibone together
in Denver. Now watch them as they
move to the scene of Frank Steunen-
berg's murder" Briefly Borah show
ed the alleged friendship of the quin-
tet.
"Nevcr Forgot an Enemy.
Follow Orchard, Meyer Hay wood
and Pettlbone from Denver u the
death of Steuneuberg at Caldwell, re-
view the testimony, watch their ac-
tions, and l say hat an absolute and
concerted conspiracy has been prov
ed. They killed Stednea) t. show
the world that they never torgos an
enemy
why is Petttbone afraid to
speak?
where is Jack simpkins, vino
was at Caldwell with Orchard aud
could tell so much?
He Is In a corner afraid to come
to say a word for his lifelong
friends" declared Borah.
Answering at great length the the
ory that the attempts on the life of
Fred Bradley at San Francisco were
accidents, Borah pointed out that tne
latter moved directly from San Fran
cisco. He traced the movements Of
Orchard In San Francisco and ridi-
culed the theory of gas explosion.
"And," cried Borah, when Or
chard gets ready TO leave San Fran
cisco, where does he go? Back 10
Denver to get his money. The deed
was done, the pay was due"
At this point Judge Wood announc-
ed the noon recess, and In accordance
attorneys this morning continued
the case on account of the heat un-
iii 8 o'clock this evening. Senator
Borah told Judge Wood this morn
ing that he expects TO close his argu-
ment tonight and that the jury can
be instructed In the morning, which
will undoubtedly permit them TO rem
der a verdict tomorrow, as IL is not
expected that their deliberations will
occupy much time.
