DEFENSE OF
HAYWOOD

'
but do believe he Is slicker"
He said that he did not believe
Borah was as overcome with the
truthfulness OF Orchards story as was
Hawley.
"Hawley would have you believe
that Orchard can not lie since he got
religion. / shall have something to
say as to that religion later on. but
what / want TO say now is that If
Hawley hasn't got religion, he had
better get It II there Is any left after
Orchard got his"
Darrow declared that Orchard had
been so contradlcted that there was
no truth left in his story. He said
that It would be a disgrace to the
state Of Idaho to convict man on
such testimony. He reviewed the
crimes confessed by Orchard and said
that each one showed the man 10 be
a sneaklng, craven coward. who had
never taken chance that would en-
danger mis- miserable hide.
1T is logical" he argued. that Or
chard should now turn to lying to
save his neck"
Turning to Orchards religious
conversion. he declared that before
Dean Hicks. the religious advisor, had
persuaded him 10 lay his sins on
Jesus, Father" Mcfarland, the de-
tective, had persuaded him to lay his
crimes on Haywood, Meyer and Petit
bone"
Darrow declared that once before in
his life Orchard had been converted.
and had become superintendent Of
Sunday school. and he could not say
that the second dose would be better
than the first.
In closing for the morning Darrow
exclaimed. you men OF the prOsecu-
ton. YOU men Of the Mine Owners
association. you men who are seeking
the life Of Haywood. don't be so fool
ish as 10 suppose that you Will
strangle the Western Federation of
Miners when you tie q rope around
nili Haywood's neck. When he is
Qupe millions Of other willing hands

IN the end"
when Clarence Darrow continued
his plea in defense Of Haywood at the
evening session OF the court, which
opened at ,. m, he resumed his
arraisnment Of Orchard and McPart-
land.
Tho attorney begged the pardon Of
tho jury for dwelling so long upon the
character OF orchard, but he said It
was necessary TO point out just what
core 0f a man Il was who was con-
demning Moyer. Haywood and Petit
hone Mr. Darrow described McPart-
land as O lying deceitful scoundrel--
The very life of q detective, he de-
clared. was a living lie.
"'rhls man who has sepnt his life
in bounding down his fellow men.
suddenly turns evangelist and would
have you believe that Orchard Is
transformed into a new man.
"0rchard tells you how he talked
TO him about King David. st. Paul and
Kelly the Bum. Mcfarland quoted
The Scripture IN one breath and lied
IN the next
Parting finally from his trade upon
Orchard and Mcfarland Mr.. Darr0w
began to discuss some OF the evidence
in he case. taking up the troubles in
the Coeur d'Alene district of Idaho In
1898. when he declared that Governor
sieunenberg sOwed the seeds Of more
strife and struggle than was ever sOwn
ny the governor of any state down 10
the present time.
There was no justification for IT,
exclaimed the attorney when such
course IL taken by chief executive
Of state. Il Is high time that all gov
ernment should be submerged and the
oulg law be the law OF might. There
S 10 man living who can defend it.
Doubtless. Governor Steunenberg felt
that what he did was the only thing
he could do / am not here to dis
cuss him or his motives, but I know
that both inside and outside Of labor
unions there were those who de-
n0unced him. and always will de-
nnunce the acts Of Steunenberg SO
