Opening Address by Mr.. Hawles|
Mr.. Hawley, who has been m h
several days as the result of the strs
of the long trial, commenced his 4
dress In voice almost inaudibe
anyone except the jury. He apOj
gized for this, however, explaining III
he had feared he would be unaS|
owing to ill-health, to deliver a p1
longed address. Mr.. Hawley is d
Nestor of the Boise bar. He Is a md
of impressive presence and aggressI
speech. Warming to his subject FndI
afternoon, his voice after the openii
statement, in which he explained thI
he had none of the grace Of worl
that constitute an orator" was at timl
eloquently impassioned, but withal
plain analysis of the evidence
characterized the case as the md
important ever given to the jury
the United States" and urged the iuI
to a serious consideration Of the 4
sponsibility placed upon them. Ills Z
nunciation of the defendant and N
co-conspirators as the worst bana
criminals that ever infested any q
of this country" was forceful and \
eulogy of Ex-Governor Steunenoel
eloquent in the extreme. Mr.. HAVE
described Orchards story as TRUTH
not only because of the manner
which it was told, but because II ha
been corroborated in every imporal
detail. Then when he found reaN
for the confession in the conscience
the criminal stirred by memories
a happy boyhood in yirtuous nom
there was waver of emotion IN u
pleader's voice and more than 81
picion of tears among his audience
Counsel for the defense repeated
interrupted Mr. Hawley with prOle'
and objections, but these only seen'
to stir him TO greater effort. VH
or twice he turned to Clarence D'
row and faced him with a roar OF ans
and another time he said 1T does y
Re in the mouth of counsel to nhu
cuse for these awful crimes.
