Boise, Ida, July 24-Clarence barrow
for two and one half hours of the morn
ing session of the Haywood trial pro-
claimed the innocence of his client and
argued the impossibiity of his convic-
ton upon the uncorroborated testimony
of Harry Orchard. J. H. Hawley, leading
counsel for the state, and Orchard were
figures around whom most of the storm
centured. Throughout the ten weeks of
testimony taking Hawley and barrow
have clashed almost daily and there
have been frequent exchanges of angry
words and now barrow vented his accu-
mulated wrath There was no attempt
at any refinement of the attack. 1t was
straight virtuperation and angry den
nuciation.
For two hours and a half DarrOw

tempt that the least possible show of
respect for the court would permit.
The court room was crowded to its
limit, was hot and the atmosphere
heavy. but the Chicago lawyer held the
attention throughout. He pleaded with
voice and gesture he was not quiescent
for a moment. He paced to and fro be-
fore the box, addressing each of the
iurymen in turn and always pleading
that an Idaho jury would never find a
verdict against Haywood upon the
testimony of Orchard, who, he said, was
corroborated only by a dog, wall-eyed
horse and Joseph Hawley.

COURTED GIRL LONG TIME
Then the Brute Wed Another, Then q
Law Suit Follows.

Des Moines, Iowa, July 24.-Aftel
having served as long as Jacob served
for Rachel, j. B. Gray, wealthy retired
farmer, it is alleged, proved faith less in
the end, and instead of marry NO the
woman he had courted for fourtee years
eloped with another. This, at least, is
the allegation made in suit for breach
of promise, in which Miss Win .ifred Nc
Kensie, pretty school teacher of Hamp.
ton, demands $4,000 of Gra,vts money as
a balm to her broken heart
The surprise occasioned by the bring.
ing of the suit was only eq, Ialed by that
caused by the statement i D the bill OF
complaint that Gray, on JUNE 6, 1906
had married Miss Marie LIE woke, another
pretty school teacher. Not an inkling
of the wedding had ever ,ecome known
to the friends of the cou pie and their
establishment was great when it all came
out in the suit for breach of promise
Miss McKensie alleges that she began
keeping company with Gray in 1890 when
both lived in Hampton- Three years
later, according to her complaint, he
asked her to marry HIM and they be-
came engaged.
Because she had to look after her aged
parents, however, no ds tie was fixed for
the wedding, but Gray iIs alleged to have
expressed willingness to serve as long
and as faithfully for his bride as ever
Jacob served Laban of old. Miss Nc
Kensie says that the marriage often was
referred to and dist inctly remembers
that on June 30, 1905, Gray renewed
his promise to wed.
Then, according to the complaint, Gray
married the other school teacher. When
news of the wedding reached the ears of
Miss Mckenzie, she decided to seek COM
pensation for the years wasted in court
ship 1t is said that an effort was made
to settle the case out of court, but this
being unsuccessful, the suit was filed
yesterday.
The defendant is wealthy, having re-
Gently inherited, third interest in the
estate of his father, valued at more than
100000. Miss McKensie is at present
visiting in Minneapolis.
