DarroW declared that once before in his
life Orchard had been converted-had
become superintendent of a Sunday
school-and he could not say that the
second dose would be any better than the
first.
During his years of crime Orchard had
protected the name of his family from
infamy and disgrace 1t was the one
Other criminals had shot through the
trap door to dangle at the end of a rope,
but they kept locked within them the Sc
cret of their family name to protect those

Shame Brought Upon Family.
The attorney also told Of the disgrace
which this act had brought upon the de-
serted wife and daughter back in Can
ada The blowing up of the Independ-
ence derot was a sacrament compared to
the stabbing in the heart of that little
nine-year-old daughter with the knowl-
edge of her fathers shame.
Orchard, barrow claimed had been told
by miserable Pinkerton detective that if
he told his real name his story would
have greater weight with the jury and
would help TO tie the rope about the
neck of Bill Haywood.

sane man." declared the attorney, ''can
ever think of Harry Orchard with any
thing but loathing"
In burst of ora tory, Darrow said:

OF the Mine Owners association you
men who are seeking the life of HAYWOOD
not because he is Haywood, but because
he represents a class, don't be so short
sighted so foolish as to believe that YOU
Will strangle the Western Federation of

At 11:40 O'Clock recess was taken un-
til p. IN.
Opinion of Mcfarland.
When Clarence barrow continued his
defense n OF he
ing session of the court, which opened
at 6 p; M, ne resumed his arraignment
of Orchard and Mcfarland.
The attorney begged the pardon of the
jury for dwelling so long upon the char
acter of Orchard, but he said it was
necessary in order to point out Just what
sort OF man il was who was condemning
Mover, Haywood and Pettibone, SO that
the jury might determine whether il
would be safe even to whip a dog on
such testimony as he gave, much less
to hang a human being
Mr.. barrow described MCFARLAND as a
lying, deceitful scOundrel-the very life
lie.
This man who has spent his life in
houndtng down his fellow man suddenly
turns evangelist and would have YOU be-
lieve that Orchard is miracuously trans
formed into a new man. Orchard tells
you how he talked to him about King
David, st. Paul and Kelly the Bum.
MCFARLAND quoted the scriptures with one
breath and lied IN the next"
couer d'AIene Troubles.
Passing finally from his TRADE upon
Orchard and MCFARLAND, Mr.. Darrow be-
gan to discuss some Of the evidence in
the case, taking up the troubles In the
Occur d'Alene district of Idaho in 1899
when he declared that Governor Steunen-
berg sOwed the seeds of more strife and
struggle than was ever sown by the gov
ernor of any state down to the present
time.
There was no justification for it," ex-
claimed the attorney. When such a
course is taken by a chief executive of
a state, it is high time that all govern
ment should be submerged and the only
law be the law of might. There is no
man living who can defend il. Doubtless
Governor Steunenberg felt that what he
did was the only thing he could do. I

tives, but know that both inside and out

Lice, Detectives and Other Vermin.
Defending the articles printed in the
Miners Magazine denOuncing Steunsn-
berg, Darrow said they were written by
Ed Boyce, the first president of the West

an honest man with ali that, and a
man who had a right to express his hon

With flaming words the attorney pic
