Defense IN the Famous Hay
wood Case Outlined--De-
NAL Of Every Count.

Boise, Idaho, June 24.-In an
address that occupied two ses-
sions OF the District Court today,
Clarence Darrow, of Chicago,
outlined to the jury the detailed
defense of William ID. Haywood
to the charge that he murdered
former Governor Steunenburg,
In broad description, it is to be
denial of every material count in
the testimony of Orchard with a
showing that Orchard killed
Steunenburg because of private
grudge borne blythe loss of a rich
share in the Hercules mine, and
explanations of the independent
circumstance that tend to con-
meet the co.defendants with Or
chard's life and operations.
Haywood will take the stand
to make personal denial OF Or
chard's accusations, Meyer may
be called to testify solely TO events
and circumstances affecting the
Western Federation of Miners,
but Pettibone probably will not
be witness in this case. Dar-
row explained that Meyer aud
Pettlbone must stand trial for
this same crime, and declared
that every lawyer knew the dan
ger, whatever the circumstances,
of exposing men awaiting trial
under like circumstances.
Darrow denied the existence of
the great conspiracy to murder
alleged by the Slate with Or
chard's testimony as basis; de-
MED that the Federation was
anything but an earnest fighting
labor organization with higher
wages, shorter hours, tolerable
working conditions and the care,
safety and education of it's men,
bers and their wives and ch ldren
as its high and only motives ;
denied the intimacy with the
three co-defendants that Orchard
laid claim to; denied the several
conferences and conversations
that Orchard swore to; denied
Orchard had even committed
many of the crimes he had boast
ed Of and promised to make proof
of his contentious with many of
he men named by Orchard wnen
on the stand, and many witness
es of creditable character and
not connected by any tie with
the federation or its leaders.
