Eloquent Plea for
His Client

Boise, July 23.-Resuming argument
this morning In the Haywood case. At.
tornoy Richardson for the defense re.
yerted to the Bradley explosion in
| san Francisco briefly to call attention
| to the testimony OF a witness who
| said Orchard declared; Bradley got
what was coming to him and there's a
| chap named Stuenenberg who Is going
to get his" The attorneqs voice was
quite husky today as the result OF
yesterdays effort Tracing Orchard
back to Denver. where he made the
second attempt on Governor Peabody
Mr.. Richardson declared that abso-
| lutely no corroboratlon had been Offer
ed to Orchards story OF setting n
bomb under the sidewalk and It's fail
nre to explode because of coal cart
driving across the wire. The attorney
also declared no sufficient explanation
had been offered as to why Orchard
abandoned from time to time attempts
on the lives of Peabody, Judges God

Hearne.
Boise, July GA verdict in the /.
Haywood case IL expected next Satur-
day. On Friday morning Senator Bo-
rah will close for the people and Judge
Woods will charge the jury the same
day. That is the program this morn
ing 1t Is thought the jury will render
verdict after or within a days de-
liberation. Argument for the defense
began today. It is not expected that
Darrow and Richardson win finish be-
fore Thursday. In today's address the
story OF Orchard was bittery attacked.
As the end of the case approaches the
town OF Boise Is even more quiet
than II has been any time during the
trial. Most Of the Witnesses have been
paid of and dismissed but many peo
pie are coming from long distances to
hear the arguments. People of the
| town themselves are also taking much
interest in the arguments. the court
room Is filled at every session. There
Is, however, the same absence OF dis
| cussion of the case In public places,
the same determination to avoid any
thing that might create feeling or In
any way bring dlscredit on the com
munity. Among the permanent resi-
dents of Boise there has not at any
time been any show of discrimination
or evidence of difference of opinion.
The question Is for the court to decide
and the decision OF the Jury will be
the decision Of the people OF Idaho
Boise, July 24.-Dr. |. l.. McGee,
witness for defense who was arreSted
on the charge of perjury Las been dis.
charged from custody by the magi
strate before whom the preliminary
hearing was held. The justice ruled
that the evidence brought by the pros
| ecuting attorney was insufficient to
warrant him holding McGhee. Or
chard was on the stand again as a
witness In the McGhee case.
Boise, July 24.-Clarence Darrow OF
Chicago began the closing address for
the defense to the jury In the Hay
wood case at 9:05. The court room
