BOISE, July 23-Forsaking the theory
Of vengeance as Orchards motive for
the murder of former Governor Steun-
enberg, Z. F. Richardson argued that
Orchard was in the employ Of the Pink
erton Detective Agency when he killed
Steunenberg and that the murder was a
part of the conspiracy to hang Hay
wood. This sudden departure was fol-
lowed by tremendous ienunciation or
Captain Mcfarland and the Pinkerons
and a passionate announcement of Or
chard. Governor Gooding of Idaho,
Senator Borah, Governor Peabody OF
Colorado and in fact all who have acted
on the side of the prosecution of Hay
wood came in for sharp denunciation
in Richardson's great peroration.
Declaring Harry Orchard was maniac,
possessed with a lust for murder-a
desire to glut disordered brain with
the blood of his fellowman--Attorney
Richardson told the jury today that the
defense was ready and willing to admit
that Orchard accomplished the taking
of of Governor Steunenberg in the
manner described by him on the witness
stand
Orchard was painted as a man who
faneied there was glory in spectacular
crime. Day after day, opportunity was
hid by him to kill Governor Steunen-

but rather than shoot a man whose giant
stature, the attorney said, offered tar
get as big as the side of barn DOOR"
Orchard planted bomb and planned the
deed so that il might attract the great
est amount of attention.
Richardson also called attention to
the meagerness of Governor Peabody's
testimony when he appeared as a wit
ness and exclaimed in stentorian voice:
'Will you men of the jury put a halter
about the neck OF this man on such tes-
timony as this and send him to his
death at the behest of the Mineowners'
Association and its representaotivesf 1t
will be long time, | tell you, before
the law will sanction conviction on
any evidence which has been here ad-
duced'
Darrow will commence his argument
in Haywood's behalf when the court
meets tomorrow. 1t is expected that he
will consume at least two days.

fense, who was arrested on a charge of

Officer Agerup says that the Columbia

The Columbia was going at full speed

Agerup to blow two short blasts. While

Doran then ordered the engineer "Ful|

three short blasts, Soon afterwards the
vessels collided, the Columbia being
