REACH JURY BY FRIDAY

Boise. Idaho. July a1.-Argument in derense of William D. Haywood will commence tomorrow and for the oext two or perhaps three days either ] F. richardson or Clarence Darrow will
 plead for the life of their client, who,
 they arrest. Is innocent of any con- nec.ion With the murder of former governor Steunenberg.
 The attorneys for the defense ex-
 poets to speak eight or nine hours. and
 MT. Darrow is not expected to com mence his closin gargument befora
 Wednesday morning.
 The last word will come from Sena- tor Borah, who will speak on Friday. closing up the States side of the case
 Judge Wood will charge the jury on friday afternoon. or. mope likely. on Saturday morning, and a verdict is cx- pected by Saturday night.
 opinion Is divided as to results.
 Judge Woods decision taking from
 the jury all evidence as to the por- tions in Colorado and attempts of de- tectives to harrass the Wesern Feder-
 ation. constituting the showing by ;he defense of a counter-conspiracy. has necessarily limited the argument of the defense to the evidence introduced by
 the State corroborative of Orchard and
 the impeachment of Orchard by the defense.
 Mir. Richardson will take the posi- ton that Haywood had not been con- nected with any crimes to wclich Or. chard has confessed and that the all. legged co-conspirator has not been cor- roborated as required by the law of conspiracy. This will involve a review of all the evidence in the Couer d'Alene district in 1899 down to the murder of Steunenberg by Orchard in 1905.
 He will represent the legal side of the position of the defense at every point and sek to exonrate Haywood and the Western Federation from all knowl- edge of participation in the crimes in which Orchard earned the title of Boss killer"
 MT. Richardson will argue from the evidence that Orchard was not pres ent at the blowing up of the concen- trator at the Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mine In 1899. and that therefore his evidence in this matter is impeached and worthless. He will argue that the explosion at the Vindicator Mine in Colorado and the killing of Beck and Mccormick was an accident with which Orchard had no connection; that the blowing up of the Independence depot in Colorado where fourteen men were killed was the result of scheme to create public feeling against the strik- | union miners was not intended; that Orchard had no connection with 1t or if he had, Haywood had no knowledge of what was going on.
 The killing of Lyte Gregory in Dem yer, Mir. Richardson will lay to the door of personal enemies of Gregory who w engaged strike breaking. The Goddard and Gabbert bombs concern ing which so much has been said. will not be considered by the defense as se- riously bearing on the case but at the same time it will be held that if such bombs were made and planted the Western Federation of Miners had nothing to do with them. The same disavowal of connection will be argued also to the Bradley explosion and the
 Steunenberg murder itself. From first to last Mir. Richardson will take the ground that Orchard having foully murdered Steunenberg, has woven the
 members of the Federation into his
 story at the behest of Captain James
 Mcfarland and Governor Gooding of
 Idaho under promise of immunity.
 As the end of the case appears the town of Boise Is even more quiet than at any time during the trial. Most of the witnesses have been paid off and dismissed, but many people are coming from long distances to hear the argu- ments.
