ORCHARD is RECALLED.
Attorney Darrow Closes His Speech
With Telling Effect,

Boise, IdahO.-Mr Darrow, resuming
his speech after the recess, continued
to parrate to the jury a story of the
conditions prevailing in the Cripple
Creek district during the period OF
martial law following the Independ-
ence depot explosion.
He told how Meyer had first been
arrested at Ouray on II charge of desc
Grating the American flag and then
was held in custody as matter OF
military necessity" Meyer also was
charged with the murder of the two
men killed in the riot at Independence
the riot which had occurred while
he was in the bullpen presided over
by Bulkeley Wells.
Mr.. Darrow told of the deportation
of the union miners from Cripple Creek
and the posting of notices that no
man should be allowed to work in the
district without first renouncing allegi-
ance to the union and securing per-
NIT from the Mine Owners associa.
tioL.
The attorney dwelt for some time
upon the Cripple Creek troubles, say
ing that most of the mon who were
driven out and who scattered to the
four quarters of the West found it
necessary to change their names.
The Haywood defense is now well
under way.
Orchard was recalled for examina
tion to lay the foundation to enable
the defense to contradict him, with
out which it could not be done. Fol
lowing Orchards dismissal, Mrs Mary
J. Long of Cripple Creek was called
and sworn and gave testimony showing
the most intimate relations between
| Orchard and the Pinkerton detectives
who during the Cripple Creek strike
were in the employment of the rail
roads and the Mine Owners Associa-
| ten.
II seems as though the defense will
be able to establish the most intimate
relations between Orchard and these
detective enemies of the striking min
ers, and also TO prove beyond cavil that
the whole scheme for the derailment
of the Florence & Cripple Creek train
was worked up by the detectives, that
exposure might occur that would bring
oGium upon the federation.
The speech of Darrow was re-
markable effort-not so much for the
oratorical ability displayed, for there
was no effort in that direction. but for
the deliberate and lucid manner in
| which the defense was stated and the
biting, humorous sarcasm that punctu'
ated the address throughout. For
nearly four hours this somewhat frail
attorney stood before the listening jury
and held their attention without evi'
dence that it tagged for single sec
onG. After he concluded, the friends
of Haywood declared themselves de
lighted with the effort, while thoss
who side with the prosecution PRO
nounced it a failure and professed tc
| lie convinced for the first time that
| Haywood could not make good de
| fense.
Speaking of Darrow's address, one
| Of the states attorneys said:
What if the defense finds witnesses
| to declare that Orchard is a liar:
Those who will do so are the men in,'
| plicated by him in the crimes he was
committing. and who find it necessary
| 10 deny their completely to avoid, II
possible, the uncomfortable situation
| ior them that is likely to follow the
conviction of Haywood"
Mr.. Darrow promised the jury thai
| Haywood would be called as witness
| in his own behalf. He gave half.
way promise that Meyer would also
be witness, and left 1t to be inferred
that Pettibone would not be.
