 And you know as well as l do that while he Is a stranger to you, his life and his liberty are safe in your hands as they would be with any jury in their home state of Colorado. Bill Haywood is in no more danger of being convicted in Idaho, unless the evidence shows his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt than he would be in Colorado The court, the attorneys for the state and everybody connected with this case have extended to MT Haywood every right, every privi- lege, every courtesy known to the law as to the right of the defendant. Hay wood and Mover on the witness stand were allowed to tell all they wanted to tell In violation of all the laws of evl- dence and without a single objection from myself or my associates
 Arralens the Defense.
 Senator Borah scathingly arraigned the defense for not putting Steve Adams on the stand. Adams. the associate of Har- ry Orchard, could if anybody could prove that Orchard telling the truth es- pecially about the Independence depot af. fair.
 "Darrow gives you as an excuse for the beating up of old man Stuart at Cripple Creek the fact that he was a 'scab. There, gentlemen, lies the motive for the Independence depot explosion. The four teen men blown to atoms that fateful sixth of June, were scabs.'
 Nearing the close of his argument Sena- tor Borah came to the attempts upon the life of Governor Peabody, General Sherman Bell and Judges Goddard and Gabbert, and saiy they were the result of such doctrines had been denunciat- ed before the jury by Attorney Clar- cnce Darrow of Chicago. He bitterly as sailed MT. Darrow.
 We are here" he exclaimed, "to de- termne whether or not the state of Idaho can enforce the laws put upon it's statute books for the protection of life and prop erty. But if the statement of MT. Dar- row in his argument reflects the senti- ments of the Western Federation of Miners there need not be doubt in your minds as to whether or not the defend- ants at the bar would commit murder upon men who represented the law
 At the conclusion of Senator Borah's s argument Judge Wood announced that he would charge the jury at 10 clock to- morrow.

There Is an old bit of Missouri his the telling. Historians have had very little to say of William Mudrow, one of the most noted men of the stirring period when the foundation for the present great commonwealth was being laid by the brawn and daring of it's pioneers. He was the first great western promoter A man whose dream of empire was vast enough to have done credit to Cyrus or a Ma poleon, except that 1t differed in the one essential of not being a conquest of arms. Instead of the forced march and the es- tablshment of kingdom by right of might, he cherished the vision of dominion by the most peaceable procedure of commer- cial mastery. He was going to trans form the barren plains into a land teem- ing with people, traVersed by railroads and studded with cities.
 MuldroW was the unlettered son of a bacl1swoods father-a salt boiler by trade yet he possessed such a strong person. .ality and was endowed with such force ful powers of persuasiveness, that he ex- erted a strong influence over all with whom he came in contact. He sought out men of means and intellect who lis tened to his marvellous prophecies and entered at once into his maifold schemes Us pet Iroject was the exploitation of Marion City, which, Ike Bapylon or old, rose and fell He laid his plans for Q mythical city, which he confidently ex- pected to become the metropolis of the entire western country.

 Review of Points.
 Senator Borah began by reviewing briefly the points made in the opening hour of his address to the jury last night.
 He said he would go briefly over the track of blood left by Harry Orch ard. taking up the murder of Governor Steunenberg and marking back over some of the most important incidents interrupted in the testimony.
 q hardly need to tell you sensible men," declared the pleader, that Pink erton detectives ahd nothing to do with the assassination of Frank Steunenberg. That is one of the most absurd of the many absurd things brought into this case by the learned counsel for the defense"
 Senator Borah in laying the founda . tion for his argument of conspiracy, pointed out that Orchard went to Cald- we'll from Denver and fresh from as- sociation with the officers of the Western Federation of Miners. who re- garded Steunenberg as an enemy. He

 Taking the question of the personal mo- tive the defense had charged against or chard, Senator Borah showed the jury the deed by which Orchard had parted absolutely and forever with his interest in the Hercules mine fourteen months be- fore General Merrman and his negro troops marched into the Occur Alenes.
 'This deed. the letters and telegrams and all other evidence not subject to be- ing tempered with this case, corroborate Harry Orchard and fit in precisely with the story he has told you. Governor Steu- nenberg did not cause Orchard to lose his interest in the mine so how could he have entertained murderous grudge2'
 Senator Borah took up one by one the witnesses for the defense who, he said, corroborated Orchard and proved a crim- inal conspiracy because they had covered and protected Orchard up to the time he confessed and implicated Haywood
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-07-27

touched upon the fact that Marion Moore, an officer of the Western Fed eration of Miners, in testifying for the defense, admitted that he agreed with Orchard to deceive Orchards wife when Orchard wished to desert her.
 Harry Orchard left Denver with crime in his heart. The impellinsi compelling force came from Denver. George Pettibone helped Orchard pack his utensils of murder in his trunk. Why is Pettibone not here to deny 1t? His silence is a confession of his guilt. Pettibone's absence is an absolute cor roboration of Orchard" :"
