this jury. I say to you that I never want 1t. Before he made his con- fession. Harry Orchard was bad enough. but 1t remained for religion. and am weighing my words to make him total ly depraved. Before he got religion there was some spark of humanity. some spark of manhood left in the creature. but after his conviction there seems to have been none What show of remorse. of pity. of regret, did this man make as he appeared before you to tell his awful storyT
 Converted once Before.
 Darrow declared that once before in his life Orchard had been converted day school and he could not say the second dose would be any better than the first.
 Through years of crime Orchard had protected the name of his family from infamy and disgrace. It was the one spark of goodness in his criminal breast. Other criminals had shot through the trap door to dangle at the end of rope. but they kept locked within them the secret of their family name to protect those whom they left behind. It remained for Orchard after his conversation to reveal to the world his name. to send back to the Horsley 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 modefn times"
 The attorney told of the disgrace which this act had brought upon the deserted wife and daughter back in Canada. The blowing up of the h.

 The attorney begged the pardon of the jury for dwelling so long upon the N''"'o cl oICHdTu, put ne Sdlu II was necessary to point out just what sort of man it was who was con- demning Mover. Pettibone and Hay. wood, so that the jury might deter mine whether it would be safe ever to whip dog on such testimony as he gave much less to hang a human being MT. Darrow described Mcfarland as a lying. deceitful scoundrel-the very life of a detective. he declared. was a ly- ing lie.
 SOwed Seeds of Strife. MT. Darrow began to discuss some of the evidence in the case, taking up the troubles in the Couer d'Alenes district of Idaho in 1899, when he de- clared. that Governor Steunenbere sowed the soeds of more strife and struggle than was ever sown by the governor of any State down to the present time
 There was no Justification for 1t. exclaimed the attorney. When such z course Is taken by a chief executive of a State, it is high time that all gov ernment should be submerged and the only law be the law of might There Is not man living who can defend it Doubtless Governor Steunenberg fel that what he did was the only thing he could do. I am not here to discus! him or his motives, but I know tha both inside and outside of labor un ions, in all walks of life there were those who denounced and always vii denounce the acts of Steunenberg s' long as we pretend to have a govern ment by law in these United States" Defending the article printed in Tn Miners Magazine denouncing Steunen berg.
