BOISE. IDAHO, July 24.-The ca
reer OF Frank Stcuncnberg, the muir
dered former Governor OF Idaho, was
discussed ut length this afternoon
by Clarence barrow in his plea in be-
half of William ID. Haywood, charged
with the murder. Justifying the arti-
cles published In the Miners Maya
zine, the official organ of the Western
Federation Mr.. barrow said the ac-
tion of Steunenberg in asking for
United States troops to quell riots
and the establishment of martial law
in 1899 was unjustifiablc and had
properly stirred up intense feeling in
labor circles against the governor.
Mr.. Darrow's argument, unfinished
tonight developed into an appeal for
labor as against capital and de-
nunciation OF all opposition to labor
unions. He held an audience start
ling and open mouthcd as one after
another sentences poured from his
lips His attack on Orchard was an
ticipatcd and in this respect he full
filled and surpassed the limit of eX-
pectation. Three hours were given TO
orchard and 1t was only when vltup-
Grafton. physical force and words
were spent that barrow turned to
James H. Hawley, the leading coun-
'sel for the state and the Pinkerton
detectives for something on which to
pour the lesser volume of abuse.
Mr.. Darrows support of labor
unions and of union men was pas
sionate and in his eulogy OF the
Western Federation he eloquently
and lovingly touched on the beauty OF
selfsacrifice In the struggle for hui
manity on which the worlkingman al
l.. h. 1,ttt
sarcasm his voice pitched in its high
est note and his arms upheld he heQp-
ed abuse on the selfish rich and up
on the administration OF the State Of
Idaho. Mr.. barrow had begun de-
tailed review of the evidence in the
case as court adjourned at 8 O'Clock
tonight until tomorrow morning.
barrow Did Not Mince Words.
Clarence barrow, of Chicago, for
two hours and n half of the morning
session of the Haywood trial today
proclaimed the innocence of his eli
ent and the impossibility OF his con-
viction on the uncorroborated evil
dencc of Harry Orchard J. p. IIaw-
ley leading counsel for the State and
Orchard were figures around whom
most of the storm OF the morning
ccntcred. Throughout the ten weeks
of testimony taking, Hawley and Oar
row have FLASHED almost daily and
there have been frequent exchanges
of angry words until during Hawley's
argument the lie was passed. This
morning Darrow vented his accumu-
lated wrath There was no attempt
ut refinement OF attack, it was
straight vituperation and angry de-
nunciation. For two hours and n
half barrow rang the charges on
Orchards past. his present and his
future and on Orchard he heaped
every word OF abuse and contempt
that the least possible show of re-
spcct for the court would permit.
The court room, winch was crowd
ed to it's limit. was hot and the at
mosphere heavy, but the Chicago
lawyer held his audience to close at
tcntion throughout the morning. He
pleaded with voice and gesture. Not
quiesccnt for moment he paced to
and fro before the box, addressing
each jurymen in turn and always
pleading that an Idaho jury would
never find verdict against Hay
wood upon the testimony of ORCHARD
who he said. was "corroborateg only
by dog, wall eye horse and j. H.
Hawley"
Mr.. barrow in closing the argument
of The morning session said that II
the jury would hang Bill Haywood
zone million willing hands will seize
the banner by the open grave anu
bear it on to victory"
