BOISE. Idaho. July 2A-With the con-
clusion of Clarence S. Darrow's appeal
10 the jury, probably tonight. the de
fense will have fired its last shot in the
Haywood case.
Attorney L. P. Richardson. also Of
counsel for the accused labor leader,
finished hts argument yesterday. He
discussed questions of law and evidence.
I-arTow's address is directed rather at
tie Jurors emotions.
senator BOrah, for the prosecution, is
expected 10 talk all day tomorrow.

AID there will be no further develop
Ments until a verdict is returned or a
disagreement announced.
DR. MCGEE. one OF the defense's wit
n,sses called TO tmpeach Orchards testi-
mony. has been freed on preliminary
him by the prosecution. n magis-
tTate held there was 10 evidence to
show that MCGEE had spoken untruth
fully.
Forsaking the theory Of vengeance az
Orchards motive for the murder of
Steunenberg, Richardson argued that
SE-chard was IN the employ Of the Pin
kertOn detective agency when he killed
SteUnenberg, and that the murder was
a part of a conspiracy TO hang Haywood.
This sudden departure was followed by
q tremendous denunciatiOn Of Capt.
James Mcfarland n the PinkertOns,

Borah, Governor Peabody Of Colorado.
and, in fact, all who have acted on the
side Of the prosecution of Haywood
came In for a share of the avalanche Of
richardson's peroration.
Orchards conduct at Caldwell before
the murder OF Steunenberg." said Mr..
Richardson. leads inevitably TO the
conclusion that this man was determined
population to himself. Whether he was
In Ihe employ OF the Pinkertcn agency
NJ the time does not appear in the
record. but 1 think I can snow before
his argument is Over that before and
after the murder the purpose of Orchard
and OF others was to create evidence
such as might lead to the arrest and
conviction of western tederatlOn or
Taking up Orchards life in the peni-
Tertiary at Boise, Richardson said the
vile, Ioathsome creature had been petted
and coddled, fed from the warden's
tables. visited by the governor of the
State. and called in familiar terms
Harry" by the governor and by the
counsel engaged for the prosecution.
Think Of this creature associating in
a friendly way with a Senator of the
United States. I do not know that Or
Chard calls Senator BOrah Bill. but 1
do know the Senator calls Orchard
Harry
Now. why did Orchard attempt to
commit suicide after he had made his
confession 10 Pinkerton Mcfarland? He
says he confessed to clear his conscience
and TO make his peace with God. Why,
then. after such a confession should
he have attempted to take his own life?
There was no reason for it."
Orchard. said Richardson. was a man
who had a motive against Governor
Steunenberg- It mattered not whether
he had decided away MS property be-
yond redemption prior 10 his leaving the
Occur de Alenes. The thought was al
ways going through his brain that he
would nave been a rich man If 1t had
not been for Steunenberg. This thought
was expressed to many witnesses. and
Richardson denied that these witnesses
were lying or that circumstances poInt
to anything but the absolute truth az
their testimony. Richardson reviewed
Orchards movements just prior TO the
klllne OF Steuneaberg and said his
straitened financial condition. when he
was reduced 20 the necessity of robbing
a cash register or burglarizing a rail-
road station and borrowing money fror,
q friend, gave the lie to the theory that
the federation was paying for the crime
end that he could set money whenever
he desired.
