Boise, Idaho, July 24.-The career
Of Frank Steunenberg, the murdered
governor Of Idaho. was discussed u,
some length this afternoon by Clsr-
ence Darrow in his plea in behalf Of
William ID. Haywood. Justifying the
articles published in the Miners Mag
azine. Darrow said the action If
Steunenberg I'm asking for United
states troops to quell riot and the
establishment OF martial law I'm 1889
was unjustifiable and had properly
stirred up intense feeling IN labor cir
eles against the governor
paff0w's argument unfinished to-
night. developed into an appeal for
labor as against capital and a denun-
ciation Of all opposition TO the unions.
He held an audience startled and
open mouthed. as one after another
the sentiments poured from his lips.
His attack on Orchard was eNpectoi.
and in this respect he fulfilled al
surpassed the limit of sensation.
Three hours were given To Orchard.
and 10 was only when Vtuperatioh,
physical force and words were spent
that DarrOw turned to James II. Haw-
ley. the leading counsel for the state
and the Pinkerton drtectiSes for
something on which to pour the lesser
volume Of his abuse.
The state OF Idaho came i'm for a
large share Of Mr.. Darrows denun-
citation for the part IL has played ia
the prosecution. Culture. education
aud wealth each in turn We're de-
scribed as constituting combination
against the working men, the unedu-
Gated and the poor. DarrOw sneered
at the universities.
And what Is cultured man." he
cried but a cruel tyrant always"
Teaching the climax of denuncia-
ton of sympathy for the working
class and hatred for the rich he as
sailed the constitution Of the country
and cried:
The constitution II is here only
to destroy the laws made for the BEN
eft of the poor"
parrow's defense Of labor unions
and Of union men was passionate, and
his eulogy Of the Western Federation
eloquent. Lovingly he touched on the
beauty Of sclf-sacrifice found in the
struggle for humanity where only
the working man is found" and in the
bittercst sarcasm. his voice pitched 10
its highest note and his arms up
lifted. he heaped abuse upon he sell
state of Idaho.
In opening. Darrow impressed e
chief case on the twelve men in q "
box and declared that the defenda {

miles from his home into a commun-
itv and before jury which does not
view his life or industry as the men

The attorney asked for a fair and
impartial trial and that the jury be
studded by the evidence only. He said
