why ADAMS WAS
NOT USED ON STAND
Attorney Explains Reason For Not
Using Some Witnesses and For
Having Put Meyer Before
Jury. Though a
Prisoner.

Boise, Idaho, July 25.-In resum-
ing his address to the Haywood jury
this morning, Clarence E. Darrow.
who is having the last word for the
defense, took up the defense of Jack
Simpkin's flight after the arrest of
Orchard.
Darrow was very hoarse as a re-
suit of speaking five hours and forty
minutes yesterday and spoke today
with the greatest effort.
He said that the reason Simpkins
was not here was because he was
afraid to be in Boise. He did not
know whether Simpkins is innocent
or not, but took issue with the state
ment of Prosecutor Hawley that his
flight proved his guilt.
He said that If that be true, the
fact that Haywood, Meyer and Pet
tibone did not flee proved their in
nocence, but neither proposition is
true.
Why Adams Was Not Used.
"Hawley blamed the Federation
for the reelection of Simpkins to
the executive board, but If he had
not been reelected, Hawley would
have said that showed beyond a
doubt that the man was guilty." said
the attorney.
Darrow here went into a lengthy
discussion as to why the defense had
not put Steve Adams and George A.
Pettibone on the stand. He demand
ed to know why the prosecution had
not put c. X. Sterling, detective of
the Mine Owners association on the
stand. Adams, the attorney ex-
planned, is on trial for the murder of
a man in northern Idaho. Under the
would rather cut off his right arm
than allow Adams to go on the
stand much as he desired the ac-
quittal of Haywood.
Must be Protected.
81 am not afraid of what he would
say against Haywood, but 1 am
afraid to let Adams, my client, turn
cunning cross examination of Sem
ator Borah and then have his testi-
mony used against him when the
second trial for his life begins. No
lawyer who would permit his client
to do such a thing would be worthy
of the name"
AS to Pettibone Darrow said the
same thing was true.
No Case Against Meyer.
The reason he had put Meyer on
the stand while he too is awaiting
trial. Darrow said, is that there is no
evidence of any sort for Meyer to
explain. He expressed the belief
Darrow demanded to know why
Mcfarland and Sterling have not
been indicted. He charged the Mine
Owners association directly with the
blowing up of the Independence
depot, so that they might take the
law in their own hands and drive
out the Federation and all the men,
women and children who sympa-
thized with il.
Plunging vigorously into the Grip
pie Creek troubles, Darrow declared
that when some day the people get
the right angle of this case and look
back upon the Colorado labor strug-
giles, they will have had one of the
most important and pregnant chap
ters in the history of the United
States"
Ridicules Orchards Religion.
Darrow dwelt for the last hour of
the morning session upon the Brad
ley explosion in san Francisco. He
declared that all the evidence point
ed to gas explosion and described
the testimony in support of Orchards s
story as to the bomb as "manufac-
tured in Pinkerton McParland's per-
jury factory"
The attorney asserted that it was
impossible for Orchard to have
gained the roof of the Bradley
apartment except by climbing the
gutter pipe.
ing any pipes" he went on. "Oh,
no, no chance like that for Harry.
He might fall down and hurt his
finger. and If he hurt his finger he
might not be able to play the harp
in kingdom come"
The luncheon recess taken at this
point, continued until 2 p. m. Dar-
row will complete his plea of this
afternoon and Senator Borah will
commence his closing argument to-
night.
Case Nearly Concluded.
The case is now almost closed. as
Senator Borah will undoubtedly con-
clude his argument sometime tomor-
row He has already stated that he
did not propose to consume much
time in answering the argument of
the defense.
should the case go to the jury be-
fore Saturday noon, a verdict may be
expected sometime during the after
noon, as ii is not expected that the
jury will be out many hours. Indeed
there is a sentiment here that the
jurymen will agree on their verdict
within a few minutes after retiring.
