An Appeal for Labor as Against CapaIEChcago Lawyer
Will Continue His Address this Morning.

Boise. July A-The career of Frank
S.eunenbers, the murdered governor of
Idaho, was discussed at some length by
lsrence barrow this evening, in the
course Of his plea in behalf of William
r. Haywood. Justifying the articles pub
li,hed in the Miners Magazine, the Of
cal organ of the Western Federation
81 Miners, the Chicago lawyer said the
action of Steunenberg in asking for Unit
ed states troops TO Quel riot and the eS-
adjustment of martial law in 1899 was
Jnjustifiable and had properly stirred up
Intense feeling in labor circles against
The governor.
Appeal for Labor.
Darrow's argument, unfinished tonight,
developed into an appeal for labor as
against capital, and denunciation OF all
opposed 10 the unions. He held an au-
oience startled and open-mouthed as, one
AFTER another, the sentiments poured from
his lips. His attack on Orchard was ex-
pccted, and in this respect he fulfilled
and surpassed the limit Of sensation.
Three hours were given to Orchard, and
it was only when vitUperation, physical
1prce and words were spent tnat Oar
row turned to James H. Hawley, the
leading counsel for the state, and the
Pinkerton detectives, for something on
which to pour the lesser volume of abuse
The state of Idaho came in for large
share of Mr.. Darrows denunciation for
the part it has played in the prosecu-
lion. Culture, education and wealth each
in turn We're described as constituting a
combination against which the working
man, the uneducated and the poor must
ever be opposed.
barrow sneered at the universities, as
TurVeyOrs of culture.
And what is cultured man." he cried,
"hnt a cruel tyrant always?
Teaching the climax of his denunciation,
of sympathy for the working class and
J aired for the rich, he assailed the con-
'itutiOn of the country and cried:
The constitution The constitution! II
Is here only to destroy the laws made
4ur the benefit of the poor"
Harrow's defense of labor unions and
of union men was passionate, and his
culogy of the Western Federation eio-
quent Lovingly he touched on the beauty
Of self-sacTifice found in the struggle Tor
humanity when only the wOrk1ngman IS
found" and then with the bitterest sar-
casm. his voice pitched to its highest note
and arms appraised, he heaped abuse upon
the selfish rich and upon the administra-
ton of the state of Idaho.
Address of Mr.. barrow.
Clarence barrow of Chicago began the
closing address OF the defense to the jury
in the Haywood case at 500 a. ~ The
court room was crowded 10 It's capacity.
IN opening Mr.. barrow impressed the i'm
portance of the case upon the twelve
men in the box and declared the defen-
dant is in Idaho as an alien, brought
] 500 miles from home into community
and before a jury which does not view
the murder of former Governor Steunen-
berg have been taught to look at it.
The defendant in this case and the
men in the Jail below" declared MIR. Oar
Tow, -have been brought to trial in the
home of a man who was killed in the
most cOwardly, the most brutal way that
any man was ever sent to death Many
of YOU men on this jury voted for Gov
ernor Steunenberg. One of you had bus
mess relations with him, while IN the
house of another of you he made ms nome
Won u~n oil n
iv circle of the murdered man, and none
OF YOU has ever had any community OF
interest with these defendants. Under
these circumstances L can but ask you
to Law aside as much of the passion and
perjury as you can and look at
us as if we were one OF you Give US
The fair and impartial trial you would
give if you had not known the deceased
You men for more than year past have
had your minds poisoned by lies IN the
local newspapers. but now that you nave
sat here for more than two months and
have heard the testimony, you know you
have been fed upon poison and lies Lay
aside as much you can OF this pols-
oDOus stuff; try to get your mlnd tree
and be guided only by the evidence
impossible to Coneist on Evidence.
The prosecution in this case knows it
cannot convict on the exact evidence, but
it relies upon the strained, forced cir
cImstances to get a verdict from you.
This defendant was taken by force from
his home, brought 1,5O0 miles ana set
down before a hostile jury to be tried
for his life.
Imagine yourselves, men. taken from
your farms and set down before jury
in Chicago to be tried for your lives,
and then you can in some way feel as
this man does in this case. l believe
that under these circumstances you will
hesitate to act on the rotten testimony
given in this case to take away the life
of a fellow citizen.
But some of you Will say perhaps that
while there is not enough here to war
rant sending a man to death, there is
perhaps enough of evidence as to crimes
having been committed in the western
country to vote to put Bill Haywood in
iail-to compromise on verdict for man
slaughter or murder in the second de-
gree You have that right, gentlemen of
the jury, but l want to say that, what
ever else you are, 1 do not believe you
are towards And / want to say that
whatever else Bill Haywood may be, he
is not a coward. I would not thank this
jury If il returned q verdict OF assault
and battery and assessed fine OF %
against this defendant
Deserves Death CT Freedom.
This murder was cold-blooded, deli5-
crate and cOwardly i'm the extreme. If this
