JACK sIMPKINs' FLIGHT.
Tn assuming his address to the
HAYWOOD jury this morning Slar-
HE last we'd for the defense. .ooh UP
defense of Jack Simpkin'e- flight after
.,'est of Harry Orchard. Mr.. OAR
.ov's voice was very hoarse. the re-
s,,t n his i've hours and 40 minutes
ne eneak inr Yesterday, and he spoke To-
say only with the greatest OF EFFORT
,;They ask us why Jack Simpkins -
not here" said Darrow, ana l Wlh ~.
you. The reason ne ID ilot n9 $50 nro-
he is afraid to be here. doll pio
nose TO 70 around the question ana
ri,,o apv Fantastic reasons. he Is
ssrat5 that,s the reason. Hawley tells
Won that Simpkins flight proves ina.
he Is guilty With that statement
take serious issue. II the fact that Jhch
simpkins ran away proves he IS sulity,
lben Inv the same token the fact that
Uavwood. Meyer and Pettibone did not
nm away proves that they are innocent.
nne Is lust as true as the other, nut
neither ~ true. i Used TO think
could tell whether man was guilty
Of not by the way he acted but got
rulltiest men ! ever knew have acted In
Ehe calmest and most innocent manner
while many an innocent man has mad
10 take refuge from the mob.
II don't know whether Jack Simp-
klns is innocent or not. IS there any
way / can tell and be honest Win
this Jury? / haven't seen him after
hn ran awav. He was in Caldwell
with Orchari ana pas Orchards
friend. Slmpkins had been In the
Idaho bull pen and the indignitias 70
which he was subjected burn in his
heart today and will probably burn
there forever for all ] know. simp,,
kine had reason TO harnor natre9
against Steunenberg. Orchard had
reason, either rightly OF wrongly. to
harbor hatred against Steunenberg.
Simpkins aud Orchard had been to-
gether in Spokane for month be-
fore they went to Caldwell, III Jack
Simpkins went there for the purpose
Orchard has told. and | prefer 70
think that he was merely on trip 10
the southern Idaho unions and sion
ped off AT Caldwell only for day OF
two at Orchards solicitation: what
ever Simpkins went to Caldwell to do
he went away without doing II. He
did not raise hand against Steun-
enberg.
WILL STAND BY sIMPKINs.
"Hawley blames us for re-electint
Simpkins to the executive board. j
might have been better to have lefi
him off. This Is n cowardly world
It might have been better for the
10000 members of the Western Fed
Grafton OF Miners to have turned theil
back on him when he was accused
but IL we had done that HawleA
would have told that the fact that tbs
federation dropped SlmplSins showed
beyond a shadow of a doubt that tn,
nan was guilty. But that Is not thu
stun tho brave men Of the Western
Federation are made OF. TIL JncI
Slmpkins is convicted, every member
or the federation win stand by hin
and WIN not judge him until he hal
had his day In court
If Simpkins has been your brother
you men OF this jury would have told
him TO go away until the passionF
ncn hhu cooled, TIL ne could appear u
nm Impartial jury which would listen
patiently to his story and render fair
and Just verdict upon him, or course
you would.
"You men know that these defond-
ants are far safer today than they were
" months ago. Mems passions cool
their feelings subside and they look NJ
things more calmly and fairly. YOU
know these defendants are having q
fairer trial today than they could hay,
had II months ago. II Is natural tha'
they should A year hence venture
10 say that every man not hanged cal
get fair trial In Boise
WHY ADAMS NOT SUMMONED
Mr.. Darrow here went into a length,
discussion as TO why the defense haf
not put Steve Adams and George A
Pettibone on the stand. He demandee
10 know why the state had not put X

Owners association on the stand, Ad'
ANS, the attorney explained is on tria
Tor the murder OF "A man In northern
Idaho. Under these circumstances
barrow said he would rather cut on hi
