 any more defiance of public opinion than this?'
 Hawley reviewed the testimony of various witnesses who teArified they heard Orchard make threats against Governor SteHnenberg. Most of this testimony. he said, came from bright and shining lights of the Federation. The defense failed utterly to show, he added, that Orchard talked to any one of his friends about the grievance against Steunenberg. He said nOth- ing to Paulson, his old partner, he said nothing to HaylS oOd or Mover, as they themselves have testified, or to Pettibone, so far as we know. Orch ard sold out his interest in the Her cuIes mine more than year before Governor Steunenberg ran him or any one else out of northern Idaho"
 Hawley declared it was time the leaders of the Western Federation were brought to justice and shown there is a higher law in this land than their own desires. Tt is time for us" he continued. ito show them that here in Idaho, We are a law-abiding. God-feaTing people who intend to do our duty toward the leaders of the Western Federation, or some lOwly tramp just blown into the state charged with some minor offense, we believe you, men of the jury, are i'm pressed with a firm desire to do your duty as you SC it. All the prosecution asks is your best judgment, your hon est judgment. In the arguments on the other side we will hear much of capital waging war on labor unions. Nothing could be more untrue in this case All that has been spent in this | inquiry has came from the coffers of | the state of Idaho. As to labor unions, no man has a higher regard than have for them, and no man believes
 more strongly than I do that laboring men should band themselves together ] to secure shorter hours ard higher wages. But the Western Federation,
 under the leadership of Mover, Hay wood and Pettibone, can not be chased with any labor organizations that we know of, any which will be referred to
 by counsel for the labor organizations that we know are not in criminal
 hands and are not criminal in intent
 and purpose Neither are the rank and file of the Western Federation,
 but the organization has fallen into sinister hands As to the part I took as counsel in the organization of the Western Federation, have no apolo. gies to make. If my advice and coun- sel had been Hcted upon, the oTgani-
 zation would have been a powerful factor for good in the development of
 the West. instead of an engine of op-
 pTession, and it's unenviable position
 today is due to the arrogance of sts
 leaders. in seeking to control politics
 and society where it operates.
 T tell you in all earnestness that
 the Western Federation, as represent
 ed by it's leaders, is not an American
 institution. but is trying to sahvert the
 laws of the Ia sd and 1t is not in haT
 mony with our constitution and ouI laws. Gentlemen of the jury. l have
 omitted many hundreds of incidents | that came uplin the evidence in this
 case because of the length of time
 that it would require and the fatigue
 ii would cause you. I have no desire
 gentlemen. to have the scalp of any
 innocent man dangling at my girdle,
 would not have an innocent man con ] victed through a single word of mine
 I wish I could find some way of recon cling the testimony in this case with
 the innocence of this defendant, but
 I can reach but one conclusion. He
 not only is responsible for the murder
 charged before you, but for score oi
 other grave crimes. But my opinion II is nothing. the opinion of the opposing counsel is nothing. You. with the evi
 dence to guide you, are the sole judges and for one will be satisfied whatever your verdict may be-"
