have nothing to say. But, men, .his
 case b case of Orchard from beKin-
 ning Il end. There is nothing at all
 left in the evidence without him.
 Densunces Mr Hawley.
 Mir. Darrow here launched into a
 lengthy. bitter, vituperative denun-
 ciation of attorney James H Hawley,
 the leading counsel for the state. He
 assailSd him as . hired man actuated
 by no other motive than to get the
 money of the State of Idaho that ke
 might build another addition to his
 house.
 He denounced him as "bug house.
 and said that he had been a friend Of
 labor organisations, as he proclaimed,
 only when they got their cash to his
 Tt 10 too bad the old man could
 not have ended his career before he
 took the case and told the fool things
 he has told this jury. What was there
 in Nr. Hawley's argument but Or
 chards story? According to his theory
 everybody lies that that scoundrel may
 be believed. Hawley has got "Orchar-
 ditis" or 'Orcharditch" would be a bet
 ter term"
 Darrow dismissed Senator Borah. as-
 sociate counsel for the state. wi:h
 few words. "I don't mean to insin-
 uate," he declared, that Senator Bo- rah is any more honest than Hawley, but do believe he Is slicker." Nx. Darrow said he did not believe Senator .Borah was as overcome with the truthfulness of Orchards story as was Hawley.
 'Tn fact" he went on. "I am inclined to think that If Senator Borah believed Orchard was going to Heaven. he'd want to go the other way"
 Ashamed to Face Wives. SA Ax~-sv HkaN | their verdict showed they believed liar ry Orchard, they would be ashamed to go homo and face their wives, their sons and daughters.
 Turning to the question of whether tho butcher had a motive for butcn- ering Steunenberg." MT. Darrow said there were many witnesses who show ed Orchard was trying to sell his inter est in the Hercules mine up to the time he was driven from the Occur d'Alenes. There were others who went uncontradicted and unimpeached in | testifying as to the threats they heard | orchard make against Governor Steun- | berg.
 '.Hawley would have you believe that Orchard cannot lie since he got religion. I shall have something to say as to that religion later on; put l what I want to say now Is that 1T Flaw . lev has not got religion now. he had better 10 and get 1t if there was any | left after Orchard got his." :. Darrow warned the jurors that If | they convicted fellow being upon the | word of an assassin like Orchard. l man caught with his hands dripping l in the blood of his victim they would
 place stain ., upSn ISa,r as asostlon staae 0' '"e Tt is better" he exclaimed. that YOU should let a thousand guilty men | escape, better that you should let all l the criminals ever brought to the State l of Idaho go free, than to have 1t said you took away the life of man on
 such testimony as has been given in l this court" ! MT. parrospe declared that Orchard l has been so contradicted by witnesses l that there was no truth left in his
 story:
 l Why" he said, If George Washing l ton, with all his great reputation for veracity had come here as witness 1 and had been contradicted as Orchard has been, the father or his country | would have gone out of this court room disgraced and accounted the greatest Ananias of the age. But If | you men can convict Bill Haywood on Orchards testimony why go ahead and do 1t. have set here with you men l for two or three months. and I have tried to read you. I have laid awake at night thinking of you.
 There may be some hideous plan deep down in your souls-I cannot see them-but somehow or other I have never felt that there was any danger of your believing that perjured mon- ster. But if you do believe him. If am SO mistaken as to that: if you must have the life of this man on such testi- l. nH a fury, we will furnish you the victim with q glad and cheerful heart" Reviewing the crimes confessed by Orchard, MT. Darrow said that each one of them showed the man to be a sneaking, craven coward, who had never taken chance that would endanger his miserable hide. It
 was logical to believe. he argued. that Orchard now had turned to lying to save his neck. He said he had been promised no immunity whatever, but neither Governor Gooding nor Detec- tive Mcfarland had taken the stand to corroborate him.
 What Will Orchard DoY
 "Is he to get nothing Has he got enel,ics of the mine owners associa- tion into the lions den? He looks fat and sleek and healthy and in no dan
 ger of sudden death. If be had not put the blame of his crimes on Mover, Haywood and Pettibone. the grass would be growing over his grave these twelve long months He must be saved till Bill Haywood and Mover and Pet tibone have been sent 10 the gallows and their bodies eaten up by quicklime There are forty thousand members of the Western Federation of Miners. forty thousand criminais yet to be
 dealt with--to save Orchard for as long as there Is a neck to hang why should we kill Orchard? Jack Simpkins is yet to be caught. yet to be hanged. and Orchard must not be done away with till Jack Is dealt with" Darrow next turned his attention to
 .Those sickly .slobbering idiots who
 talk about Orchards religion and re- generation and declared that before Dean Kinks, his ,ligious adviser had D suaded him to lay hIs sins on Je- sus. father" Mcfarland. the detec- tive had persuaded him to lay his crimes on Haywood. Mover and Petit bone.
 Religious Dodge. "Iw was a slick game of slippery Harry this religion dodge and part with his past life. But you might have
 had more faith in this man if he had his life before he confessed to Dean Kinks to save his soul
 As to religion MT. Darrow said he did not profess to know much about 1t. He had endeavored to solve the in finite mystery. but he round he could only bow his head in the presence of if and say: T do not know" For these
