(Co,ti,ued iron Page ose.)


  Owners Association, on the stand. Adams, the attorney explained, was on trial for the murder of . man in North ern Idaho. Under these circumstances, Darrow said. he had rather cut off his right arm than allow Adams to take the stand. much as he desired the ac- quital of Haywood.
 No Cr0ss Examin alton.
 T am not afraid of what he would say against Haywood. but I am afraid to let Adams. my client, turn himself wrong side out under the cunning cross examination of Senator Borah and then have his testimony used against him when the second trial for his life begins. No lawyer who would permit client to do such a thing would be worthy of the name"
 As to Pettibone. Darrow said, the circumstances are much the same. He Is to be tried for his life for the mur- der of Steunenberg. Pettibone is de- scribed as an easy going. big hearted fellow who had allowed the creature Orchard to work his way into his house. It was more important for Pettibone to wait and take the stand in his own behalf than to lay him self open in the trial.
 Nothing Against Meyer.
 iHc lCdoOh thc Nc1onSC put INoySA oAi the stand, while he too Is waiting trial Darrow said, is that there Is no evi- dence of any sort for Mover to ex- plain. He expressed the belief that Mover would never be tried. for he did not believe that prosecution even SC foolish as the one against Haywood would dare to put man on trial with such flimsy evidence as could be en- tered against Mover.
 lr +, Detectives Mcfarland and Sterling were not indicted. saying that to the latter especially had been brought home one of the most serious things in the case. He said he referred to the Independence depot explosion which he charged up directly to the Mine Own. CTS Association.
 T don't believe they intended to kill fourteen men or any men, but they wanted to put up a job as they did in the train wrecking case so that they and drive out the Western Federation of Miners and all the men. women and children in the district who dared tc sympathize with them"
 MT. Darrow picked out the story told by Orchard as to the plans for kidnap- ing August Paulson's children. He says Dave Coates suggested 1t He never did criminal act of his owr accord in his life. But if you mer can find a way to believe Orchard ir preference to Dave Coates. don't know how you can ever make peace with your conscience or your Maker And if you can find no way of believ- ing Orchard in this instance you must know he has been lying and lying since | his conversion"
 Lsw Trampled Or. Plunging vigorously into the Cripple Creek troubles MT. Darrow exclaimed Talk about law and order. No where in all the world has law and or der ever been trampled in the dust al 1t was at Cripple Creek by the Mine Owners Association and their cohorts the respectables-mercha bankers and the like-and the disreputables- the gun men,"
 Darrow dwelt for tho last hour oi the morning session on the Bradley ex- plosion in San Francisco. He de- caared all the evidence pointed to a gas explosion and described the testi- The bomb was manufactured in Pink erton McParland's perjured mind" The attorney asserted that 1t was impossi- ble for Orchard to have gained the roof of the Bradley apartment house except by climbing the gutter pipe And you don't catch Harry Orchard climbing any high places" he went on ''oh. no: no chance like that for Harry He might fall down end hurt his fing- er-and if he hurt his finger he might not be able to play upon the harp fin the Kingdom Come"
 Recess.
 Tried to Murder Mover. Before passing from the Colorado strike in which the Federation was in volved, Attorney Darrow accused Gov ernor Peabody of trying to murder to assassinate him and the Mine Own CTS Association of having had him ar rested on false charges.
 Leaving Denver with Orchard, Dar- row followed him through Idaho up to Portland and Seattle. and back to the Occur d'Alenes in 1905. Here at Wal lace, Darrow again argued the inspec tion of the motive for the killing of Steunenberg in the finding of all his old partners in the Hercules Mine rich, while Orchard himself was poor.
 Darrow asserted that the position of the defense was that Orchards sole motive for the murder of Steunenberg was to pay off the grudge and revenge for having been driven from the Couer d'Alenes and the loss of the opportun- ity to get rich like his old partners Anu tHlS HldH, Llltu WltH Darrow went on, went down to Cald- well to kill Steunenberg whom he hated, and he borrowed the money from his old partner, Paulson, in order that he might be able to do the deed Jack Simpkins was at Caldwell. too and he | went from there to Spokane and then to Denver He travelled on Orchards | ticket
 Witness Killed in Denver. 'J promised to prove this to you. but I have not done so. l am not per mitted to tell you why. but I may say that one of our witnesses was killed In the night time in Denver when he was starting recently to Boise to testify or | this subject
 Darrow admitted that the letter writ ten by Pettibone to Orchard and re- | ceived by Orchard after his arrest n which Pettibone said that $100 had been sent to Simpkins by Haywood was a suspicious circumstance, but not l discriminating. If any event. he said | that outside of Orchard there was nc direct evidence to show what Pettibone sent the letter.
 The letter from Haywood to Mrs. Or chard and the sending of money by Pet tibone to orchard in San Francisco, he
