verely criticise the officials of that in

the State Board of Health in the form

Attorney James II. Hawley.
The jury was not brought into court
today, the day being given over to the
consideration of instructions to be given
the twelve men who have the life of

opposing counsel, who were requested
to give their opinions as to the materi-
ality of the evidence showing deporta-
tions and the employment of detectives
by the mine owners and citizens of Col
orado
Clarence Darrow was the first 70

Senator Borah that the State would not
oppose the striking out of that part Of
Harry Orchards testimony which dealt
with his talk to Steve Adams and Petit
bone as to Adams going into Northern
Idaho and getting rid of some claim

Judge Wood called attention to this
testimony yesterday. and indicated
that he did not believe it had been
connected in any way with the de-
fendant Haywood.

it was admitted" declared Mr.. Dar-
row for the Defense land we do not
think that striking 1t out now will
