LIBERTY OR GALLONS
Darrow Eloquent In Plea for
 HaywO0d's Aquittal.

polSE, Iuu, July -o.-SldTeliCt bdT- row of Chicago began the closing ad- dress for the defense to the jury in the Haywood case. The courtroom was crowded to It's capacity. In opening MT. Darrow launched into lengthy, bitter, vituperative denunciation of At torney James H. Hawley, the leading counsel for the state. He assailed him as a hired man actuated by no other motive than to get the money of the state of Idaho that he might build asother addition to bis house.
 'The defendant in this case and the men in the jail below" declared MT. Darrow, have been brought to trial in the home of man who was killed In the most cowardly, the most brutal way that any man was ever sent to death.
 Imagine yourselves, men, taken from your farms and set down before a jury in Chicago to be tried for your lives, and then you can in some way feel as this man does in this case.
 This murder was cold blooded de- liberate and cowardly in the extreme. If this man sitting in his office in Den yer, 1,500 miles away, employed an as- sassin to do this cowardly act, then you ought to hang him by the neck until he Is dead. For Gods sake, men, do not compromise. If you believe the story that has been told against this man beyond all reasonable doubt, then take him and hang him. He has fought many fight against the prosecutors who are bounding him into this court. He has fought them on the open bat tlefield, and he is not coward. If he has to die, he will die as he has lived, with his face to the foe. Bill Haywood is either innocent or guilty. If he be guilty, have nothing to say; but, men, this case is a case of Orchard from be- ginning to end. There is nothing at all left in the evidence without him."
 Darrow denounced the state attor- neys for allowing William Dewey, who testified thas he took part in the mob's attack on the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill, to return to Colorado unhindered after confessing to murderson the wit ness stand.
 "Were you asleep" he demanded of the attorneys, turning to the counsel table, where they were seated, "or was your witness lying? Were you negli- gent of your duties. or were you trying to deceive this jury? Are you honest in this prosecution, or is there some damnable conspiracy to pick out the president of the Western Federation of Miners and the secretary and treasurer of the federation and hang them by the neck for the pleasure and benefit of the Mine Owners association?
 There, gentlemen of the jury, we have the real, strong, iron hand be- hind this prosecution. The mine own- CTS of Colorado are pulling the wires to make you dance like puppets.
 "They gathered these officers of the Western Federation of Miners and sent them here to be tried and hanged, Idaho to hold the bag. Idaho has a fine privilege In this trlal--to pay for 1t. And you men of this jury will have the pleasure of working to pay up the deficiency warrants.
 Back of the prosecution, too, you will find General Bulkeley Wells, the adjutant general of Colorado, who brought these men here. There he is with epaulets and his Harvard accent, cruel tyrant with all his culture, for that is what culture is for, to get rid of the humanity there is in man."
 When DaTow reached the Colorado labor troubles he grew eloquent in his denunciation of capital and his defense of the workingman. "Of course it is unconstitutional" he exclaimed, ito pass a law taking away from the Gug- genheims the right to take twelve hours work out of the hide of their workingmen instead of eight. What are constitutions for except to be used for the rich and destroy the laws made for the poor? Gold Is stronger than the pen and stronger than the law"
 Think of the darling of Colorado Bulkeley Wells. tooling around the Back Bay of Boston and spending his golden plenty. Think of Bulkeley Wells. the man who tied a worker to tele- phone pole in zero weather because he was not wringing out of the vic tim's carcass all the golden guineas he would like to spend in Boston or in England. Think you of Bulkeley Wells and the others of his fix. other idlers. whose families are clothed in silk, sponged with the life's sacrifice of workingmen: think of them. I tell you, and give them some responsibility in the events of Colorado"
 Mir. Darrow fin closing the argument of an eloquent plea said that If the jury should hang Bin Haywood 'one million willing hands will seize the banner of liberty by the open grave and bear it on to victory"
