for the prosecution. BY order of the
judge only for those whom seats could
be found were permitted to enter.
Borah will finish tonight.
Borah insisted that every witness
called by the state added to the chain
of circumstances linking Orchard and
Haywood together. THE crooked and
devious trail of this arch-fiend," he
declared, leads directly from the
blood-bespattered ruins of the Inde-
pendence depot and from the shatter-
ed and broken gateway in Caldwell,
stained with the life of one of Idaho's
greatest men, to the Denver offices of
the federation, and to the very desk
of Meyer and Haywood.

ed from Denver to commit that crime
This is proven by independent wit
nesses. Did he go then to a farm
ing community, to mine, to play cards
with soldiers or call on old friends :?
No. neither did he while there per-

lounge about until the murder was
committed. The fact that he let Ma

mail in Alaska, and that Haywood
wrote he was in Alaska, showed how
close Orchard was to these men,"
Orchards story that he sold his
Hercules interests before the Coeur
d'Alene trouble Borah held was prov
en- by the deed filed.
Borah declared there is no question
but that the brains behind the con-
spiracy was Haywood. He declared
he knew about II, and in support of
his opinion cited a telegram sent him
after the murder by Simpkins asking
about a lawyer to defend Orchard.
The entire feature of Borah's morn
ing argument was demonstration of
Simpkins' connection with the Steun-
testimony He also argued by infer
ence that Haywood knew about Or
chard's plans. and declared the fact
that Pettibone dared not go on the
stand and deny he wrote letter to
Orchard telling him money was sent
him in care OF Simpkins was an ad-
mission of guilt and absolute con-
firmation of Orchards story.
When n recess was ordered court
adjourned until tonight, when Borah
will conclude his case which will
