 Haywood Trial
LASHtS DEFENDANT HARD
Great Crowd Assemblies to Hear the Powerful Address of the Senator, Who Makes a Deep Impress
 sion Upon All Present.

Boise. Idaho, July 26.--Evidence and aI- gument is at an end, and tomorrow the jury will be left to decide what the pen alty. if any, William D. Haywood shall pay for participation in a criminal con spiraey resulting in the assassination of former Governor Frank Steunenberg, with which he is charged.
 United States Senator N. E. Borah en- gagged by the state of Idaho as special counsel for the prosecution, spoke the last word tonight. Judge Fremont Wood will charge and instruct the jury, which Is expected to retire to consider their verdict about II o'clock tomorrow morning.
 The crowd seeking admission to the court room tonight broke all records in a murder trial in Idaho. Two hundred peo- pie remained in the grounds when the doors were closed after the morning ses- sion, and hours before they opened again all approaches were blocked. When final ly every seat and inch of space within the court room was filled, several hundred stood on the lawn under the open win dows that they might catch sentences from the impassioned pleading of the young senator.
 Senator Borah laid the foundation for his argument last night. This morning he began an analysis of the evidence but lie confined himself to the murder of Steu- nenberg and the conspiracy. He linked Orchard to Haywood Haywood to simp- kins; SimplSins to Mover, and Mover lo tt,,.,- Ia. records, incidentally clearing up a num- Der of situations left somewhat clouded, he brought these officers and members of the Western Federation of Miners to- gether. Then he took Orchard away from Denver and back again to Denver to he headquarters of the Western Federation of Miners. This was done carefully and almost monotonously, the quiet before the storm, and then Borah's voice and man ner changed. He sprang into action. His voice quiverng and hand upraised, fingers outstretched, he shouted:
 Watch them now Watch the five con spirators Steunenberg Is to die in thirsy days and they are moving on the scene. U
 Courtroom Thrilled.
 The dramatic utterances and tense fig ure of the pleader sent thrill through the court room For the space of ten sec onds there was silence, then relaxing. Borah continued his merciless logic. He brought Davis, Copley, Adams and East 1 erly all officers or members of the West | ern Federation of Miners, into touch witt 1 Orchard. Without pause he drew pic | ture after picture of the men associating l together at the various points. From | each place and fresh from every cri1nt he brought Orchard back nome 10 Den ver," and then smiling leaned toward the jury to ask. Why? Why always back to ! Denver. unless 1t was to find there the protection and pay of his employers?' All those things denounced or sneered at by the counsel for the defense, founc a bold and brilliant defense In Senator l Borah's Interludes.
