and Pettibone We're Not Used
to Disprove Orchards
Story Provokes Warm
Talk.

Boise. Idaho, July 2O.-The trial
or william ID. Haywood has entered
into the last stages James H. Haw-
ley. leading counsel for the state, Is
now arguing to the jury that the evil
dence presented proves the guilt of
Haywood as member. to use his
words, of the worst band of con-
spirators that ever infested any sec
ton of this country" Hawley has
characterized Orchards evidence as a
plain story told without effort at con-
cealment, without boastfulness, and
without concealment. He maintains
that the confession of Orchard was
due to the saving power of Divine
grace"
"Orchard Told Truth"
Continuing today his opening ar
gument for the state, Hawley first
devoted his attention to the alleged
attempt to wreck train on the Flor
ence and Cripple Creek railroad.
orchard undoubtedly was trying
to secure money from all ihe sources
he could" declared Hawley. "and
am not going to defend him for his
! double dealings In taking money
from both the Western Federation of
Miners. and the railroad company.
There is but one claim we make for
him. and that is that he has told
you the truth"
Hawley said Immediately after the
| train wrecking incident Orchard was
found again In the Western Fedora
| tion.
| Discusses Attempted Murder.
Taking up the matter of the at
tempted assassination Of Governor
Peabody. Hawley asserted that Orr.
char9's testimony was amply corro4
tborated. He told OF Peabody's ac-i
tivities In the Colorado labor tr0u-
bles and declared that the strongest
motive for his taking of was COM
!nprtad with ha ,aI -
mo possible personal motive could
be attributed to Orchard or Steve
Adams" said Hawley. IF there was
a word of untruth in Orchards tes-
timony as to the attempts on Gov.
Peabody, who of all men was the
best witness to testify, but the maa
who now Is in the basement of this
building, Steve Adams. The prosecu-
ton brought this man to Boise: he
could be used by the defense If 1t
Lawyers Use Word Liar"
81 object to that" shouted Dar-
row. 1T is an absolute untruth as
counsel well knows. and there is no
such record in the case"
If you say what l stated Is un-
TRUTH replied Hawley in anger, you
utter a deliberate falsehood."
Darrow renewed his objection and
Judge Wood said he would instruct
the jury to disregard all statements
maze Dy counsel not Dorne out Dy tne
evidence.
Hawley continued to the jury:
adams is here and he was
brought into this court room and
shown to you. His appearance in
this room gives the lie to the state
ment made by counsel that the facts
are not as l have related them.
There is just one other man who
could deny Orchards statements as
to Gov. Peabody. That man is Geo.
Pettibone. If he did not counsel the
proposed murder why didn't they
bring him here to say so?''
Hawley ridiculed the theory that
; the Mine owners association was re-
sponsible for the Independence depot
outrage, and asserted that the evil
dence in support of this theory was
either from witnesses shown to be
perjurers, or utterly absurd upon its
face.
Again Adams was not called to
contradict Orchards statement in
that the dogs supposed to be follow
ing Orchard from the scene of the
=, explosion were called off by a detec-
! tive of the Mine Owners association,
but this was after they had gone
eight miles from the scene.
Coming to the Bradley explosion,
Hawley asked why the defense did
not put Pettibone on the stand to tes-
tify 10 his connection with the mat
ter of sending money to Orchard In
San Francisco.
Hawley's argument was a dispas-
sionate review of the evidence with
bold denunciation of the methods
of counsel and the testimony OF many
witnesses for the defense. AT the
noon recess HawleY announced that
he would conclude this afternoon.
