| pie Creek troubles. Darrow declared
that when some day the people get
the right angle of this case and hook
back upon the Colorado labor strug-
giles, they will have had one Of the
most important and pregnant chap
ters In the history Of the United
states"
Darrow dwelt for the last hour of
the morning session upon the Bradley
ley explosion in san Francisco lie
declared that all the evidence pointed
10 gas explosion and described the
testimony In support of Orchards
| story as 10 the bomb az .'manufae-
tured in Pinkerton McPartland's per
jury factory"
The attorney asserted that It was
impossible for orchard TO have gained
the roof of the Bradley apartment ex-
cept by climbing the gutter pipe
"And you don't catch Harry climb
ing any pipes" he went on. "Oh, no.
no chance like that for Harry He
might fall down and hurt his finger,
and If he hurt his finger he might
not be able 20 play the harp In king
dom come"
Before passing the Colorado trou-
bles in which the federation was in
volved. Attorney Darrow accused GOV
ernor Peabody of trying to murder
MOyer. sherman Bell Of having tried |
to assassinate him, and the Mine own |
ers' association OF having had him ar
rested on false charges. AS oppor-
tunity afforded, the attorney con-
tinued to inveigh against the newspa-
pers and the "capitalistic class"
Leaving Denver with Orchard Dar- |
row followed him through Idaho, up |
to Portland and Seattle and back to |
the Occur d'Alenes in 1905
Here at Wallace, DarroW again ar |
gued. the Inspiration Of the motive for /
the killing Of Steunenberg lay In the |
finding of all his old partners in the |
Hercules mine rich. while Orchard
himself was poor ignoring entirely |
the argument of Richardson that or
chard was I'm the employ of the Pink
ertons at the time he killed Steunen-
berg, Darrow asserted that the posi-
tion Of the defense was that Orchards
sole motive for the murder Of Steun-
enberg was TO pay off the old grudge
and revenge for having been driven
out OF the Occur d'Alenes and the loss
of the opportunity to get rich like his
old partners.
Running rapidly through the list of
witnesses who have testified to threats
made by Orchard against Steunenberg. |
Darrow had a good word to say for
each. and argued their credibility as
against Orchard. General Engley. of
"a former attorney general.
afforded an opportunity for eulogy of
the former governor. Waite, who Dar-
row said would be revered by the hun
dreds Of thousands of people through
out this country for the noble stand
he took for the cause of labor
And so this man, filled with hat
red" Darrow continued. went down
to Caldwell to kin Steunenberg, whom
he hated. and he borrowed the money
from his old partner. PaulsOn, In or
der that he might be able to do the
deed Jack Simpkins was at Cald-
