Some Articles Incorporate.

anything that might lead to the murder OF
Gov. Steunenberg.
Some Articles Incorporate.
He admitted that some of the articles
were Incorporate in tone, but nothing
more than primary newspaper abuse.
Mr.. Richardson quoted from the, record
of the case of Spies VS.. the People and
the ruling as to the admission of news
paper articles.
In the case of the Miners Magazine, he
said, the ARTICLES did not compare in tone
Spies case. Richardson read at length from
the evidence in the Spies case the letters
from Herr Most to Spies and other violent
matter published at the time.
Throughout these letters and other mat
ter force, dynamite and murder and whole
sale revolution were counseled. Mr.. Rich
ardson pointed out that these letters were
prlnte,- in anarchist newspapers published
by the defendants in the famous anarchist
trials resulting in conviction and execution.
Created Sensation.
Mr. Richardson's reading of the anar-
chist': revolutionary writings in the eish-
ties created a sensation. He gave de-
clamatory emphasis to the fearful advice
looking to the wholesale destruction of all
who stood the side of law and order.
1t was a page of the criminal history of
this country unread by majority of those
present in the courtroom, and the eXtrem-
ity of the language used by Johann Most
in writing to Spies and the avowed purpose
of Richardson's exhaustive quotation from
the newspaper publications in the an
archist case was to show the tamely
abusive character of the evidence offered
by the state in the Miners Magazine.
Continuing his argument. Mr.. Richard
son said that in none OF the articles in
the miners magazine was there direct or
implied connection with the murder of
Gov. Steunenberg He admitted HAYWOOD S
prejudice against Steunenberg because of
his course in Idaho, but he pointed out
that tens of thousands and hundreds OF
thousands Of people in this country con-
demned approved the course adopted by
Steunenberg and that those who con-
demned should not be held responsible for
the governors murder.
Argued for the State.
Senator Borah argued for the state that
the miners magazine should be admitted
because it showed the enmty of an organi-
cation of which the defendant, Haywood,
and other defendants were the officers. He
pointed out that the state did not offer the
articles as evidence relying on them to
prove their charge of murder, but in order
to help the jury in determining among
all the circumstances, what was the animus
of the Western Federation of Miners of
which Haywood is the secretary and treas
urer and the miners magazine the official
organ.
Senator Borah, without quoting from the
articles, said that these articles did advo-
cate force, and that they advised the MEM
bers of the organization to arm themselves
with rifles. He maintained that if the evil
dence of newspaper articles was admitted
in the Spies case the evidence of articles
in the miners magazine should be admit
ted because, in both caSes-in the present
case no less than in the case tried twenty
years ago-animus was shown and violence
advocated.

preston he left with his questioners was
very strongly to the effect that such re-
ports had no foundation in fact. Other
officials holding responsible positions in the
department referred to the report as pre-
posterous, and said 1t should be dismissed
from further consideration because of its
utter improbability.

Justice Goddard q Witness.

Among the states witnesses who arrived
yesterday was Judge Goddard, a justice of
the supreme court of Colorado, who was
hunted by Orchard. a bomb was planted
at Judge Goddard's gate in Denver, which
failed to explode and was dug up by Bulke-
ley Wells, adjutant general of Colorado,
after Orchard made 'his confession telling
where the bomb was planted. A woman
witness here from California who kept the
house in which Orchard had a room while
in San Francisco is expected to testify that
while Orchard was in her rooms she found
evidence that he tried experiments with the
trigger for bomb. She found, IT is said, a
small screweye in the door of the room
with a piece of fishing line passing through
it and a cork at one end The fishing line
corresponds it is alleged, with piece of
fishing line attached to the bomb that killed
Steunenberg and a section of which was
found in Orchards bunk at Caldwell after
his arrest Young Charles Neville will be
one of the witnesses today, but it's possible
that he may be held until later, as counsel
for the state intimate that they have more

The state now expects to close its case

Monday. The opening of the defense will
probably take one day, and then will COM
mence the attack on the story told by
Orchard. Counsel for the defense will at
the close of the states case, however, move
to strike out Orchards entire story on the
ground that the state has failed TO link
Haywood with the murder of Steunenberg,
with which ne is charged. This, under or
binary circumstances. it is said by counsel
for Haywood, might be a somewhat per
funCtory matter, but in the present case
they hold that the state has not so far made
good its case. and they expect Orchard
story TO be stricken out, in which event
they say the case against their client will
