his crimes on Meyer. Haywood and Petit

| barrow next turned his attention to
those sickly, soldering idiots who talk
about Orchards religion and regeneration
| and declared that before Dean Kinks, his
| religious adviser. had persuaded him to
Law his sins on Jesus. Father" MOZART

to lay his crimes on Haywood, Meyer

| before he confessed to Dean links to
save his SOUL
| AS to religion, Mr.. barrow said lie did
not profess to know much about 1t. He
Ihad endeavored to solve the infinite mys-
terry, but he found he could only bow his
head in the presence of it and say Il do
not know
But gentlemen. have never asked for
the life of human being and never shall.

and no enc else would say Il word for
him. my petition would be there praying
/ for his life Because I do not believe in
taking away the life Of any fellow being.
1t is not for us to say what, if we were
born If we were moulded. if we were sur
rounded as Orchard was. we should have
| done.
But If Orchard has religion, men Of
| this jury. I say to you that I never want
| it. Before he made his confession Or
| chard was bad enough, but 1t remained
| for religion. and I am carefully weighing
my words. to make him totally depravcd.
Before he got religion there was some
spark of humanity, some spark of man
hood left in the creature. but after his
| conversion there seems to have been
| none. What show of remorse, of pity, Of
| regret, did this man make as he appear
ed before you to sell this awful story?'
| barrow declared that once before In
his life Orchard had been cOnverted-hld
become superintendent of a Sunday
| school-and he could not say the second
dose would he any better than the first
Through years of crime Orchard had pro-
tccted the name of his family from in :
fanny and disgrace. 1t was the one spark
of goodness in his criminal breast Other
| criminals bad shot through the trap door
| to dancIe at the end Of the rope but they
kept locked within them the secrets Of
their family name to protect those whom
| they left behind. 1t remained for Or
chard. after his conversion, to reveal to
the world his name then to send back to
the Horsely family in Ontario stories of
his wild career so that people driving by
the graves of two old Quaker parents
| might point to them and say: '"There
lies the father and mother of the greatest
monster of modern times
The attorney also told of the disgrace
| which the act had brought upon the de-
serted wife and daughter back in Canada
The blowing up OF the Independence
depot was sacrament compared to the
stabbing in the heart of that little daugh-
ter with the knowledge Of her fathers
| shame.
Orchard. Darrow claimed. has been told
by a miserable Pinkerton detective that
II he told his real name his story would
have greater weight upon the jury and
| would help to tie the rope about the neck
of Bill Haywood.
NO man can ever think OF Harry Or
chard with anything but loathing."
Mr.. barrow continued:
You men Of the prosecution, you men
Iof the Mine Owners Association. you men
Rho are seeking the life of William Hay
wood not because he is Haywood but be-
Icause he represents a class. don't be SO
short-sighted. so foolish as to believe that
you will strange the Western Federation
of Miners when you tie rope around
lWiliam Haywoods neck: don't be SO
blind as to believe that when you MAXI
three fresh new graves here in Idaho
that YOU have killed the labor movement
In this world When Haywood Is gone
millions of other willing hands will carry
on his work to victory in the end
| At 11.40 a. NJ recess was taken until
