Attorney Flags the PInkertons.

Boise, Idaho, July Is. - Forsaking
the theory of vengeance as Orchards
motive for the murder of Former Gov
ernor Steunenberg, E. F. Richardson
argued that Orchard was in the en-
ploy Of the Pinkerton Detective agen-
cy when he killed Steunenberg and
that the murder was a part of con-
spiracy to hang Haywood. This sud-
den departure was followed by ire.
mendous denunciation of Capt. James
MCFARLAND and the Pinkertons and
passionate vituperation of Orchard,
Gov. Gooding of Idaho, Senator Borah,
Gov. Peabody of Colorado and all who
have acted on the side of the prosecu-
ton Of Haywood came in for, a share
of the avalanche of Mr.. Richardson's
peroration.
Calls 1t Pinkerton Plot.
Mr.. Richardson denounced and
charged the Pinkerton detective agen-
cy with a systematic plot to secure
the conviction of Haywood, Meyer and
Pettibone as means to the desired
determination of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners. Clarence barrow will
commence his argument in Haywood's
behalf this morning. 1t is expected he
will require two days to close for the
defense.
Perjury Charge Does Not Hold.
DR.. l. L. MCGEE, the witness for the
defense who was arrested, charged
with perjury, was discharged yester-
day by the magistrate before whom
the preliminary hearing was held.
The justice ruled that the evidence
was insufficient to hold MCGEE.
Holds Audience open.Mouthed.
Boise, Idaho, July 26.-The career of
Frank Steunenberg, the murdered gov
ernor of Idaho, was discussed at some
length yesterday afternoon by Clar-
ence barrow in his plea in behalf of
William D. Haywood. Justifying the
articles published in the Miners Mag.
azine, the official organ of the West
ern Federation, Mr.. barrow said the
action of Steunenberg in asking for
United States troops to quell riot and
the establishment of martial law in
1899 was unjustifiable and had proper.

sentiments poured from his lips. His

in this respect he fulfilled and sur
