Boise, Idaho, July 2L-Clarence barrow,
OF Chicago, this morning began the
closing plea for the life Of William D.
Haywood In a scathing, bitter. tumultu-
Gus address Of over two hours and half
he held the attention of a crowded court
room to the last word that he spoke.
When be had finished the morning part
OF his speech it was generally agreed that
he had struck the strongest blow that has
yet been struck for the defense. Later
in the day it did not seem so strong as
Will appear. II was a good and perilous
address. for IL demanded one OF two
things and nothing eise-either the &C
quittal OF Haywood or his conviction of
murder in the first degree, the penalty
Of which is death.
No Compromise Desired.
Almost at the very beginning Mr.. Oar
row acclaimed in his most fervent man
ner that the defense desired no compro-
mise The murder Of Gov Stcunenberg
he declared. was cold-blooded and DELHI
crate TO the last degree. If Haywood
consplred to cause it he ought to be
hanged. If he did not. he ought to be
set free. There was no third course log
ically possible.
, Vivid and flaming as 1t was. barrow s
address was not always tactfuL He
warned the jurors not TO cherish the
notion that Bill Haywoods conviction
would disrupt the Western Federation OF
Miners. Though the federation lays
claim to a membership OF not more than
5000, he asserted that If Haywood was
sent as a martyr TO the gallOws. a mil
lion hands would take up the banner
dropped at his grave and bear IL on to
victory IN his stead.
Mr.. barrow spent little time In re-
viewing the evidence Orchard was his
sole theme; his address was always logi
zeal and decidedly vigorous.
barrow DcnOunccS Wealth.
At the evening session of the court Mr..
barrow took the lid entirely of and
frankly boiled over in manner that
would have made Eugene V. Debs sick
with envy. II he had been addressing a
socialist meeting in the Haymarket
Square in Chicago. he would have been
hailed as the great and true prophet OF
socialist unrest.
At any rate. he denounced all wealth
and all the wealthy. plastered them a foot
thick with sulphur slime and gloriied in
ferentially all hands who have not got
dollar in the world. There was class
hatred in every sentence that he spoke,
and venom in every syllable.
In short. though his speech famed and
flared and daZzled it was composed OF
about / part argument to 90 parts vitri0l
What viii be its effect on this jury there
is no way Of telling exactly. but Senator
Borah looked pleased as he left the court
house tonight.

SUIT AGAINST FOXHALLKEENE
Mutual Life EndeavOring to Secure
$4,000 with Interest.
Asks Court to FOrecIOse Mortgage
on Country Home at West
bury, Long Island.

Mineola, L. l., July PA summons and
complaint was filed in the county clerks
Office here to-day IN an action brought by
the Mutual Life Insurance Company. OF
New York. against FoxhaH P. Keene, his
wife. Mary l. Keene, and William S. Nc
Namara, to fOreclose a mortgage for
$4,000, with interest at per cent.
The suit is brought because the defend
ants failed to pay the interest when due,
and now the Insurance company is suing
for both the principal Of $4,000 and the IN
terest accrued for one year. They ask
that the court authorize the sale OF
Keene's beautiful country home, Rose
mount. at Westbury, together with the
1000 acres of land
According to the papers filed in the
county clerks Office to-day it seems that
May 2, 1904, the defendant applied for
mortgage Of 50. 200 TO the Mutual Life
Company. and got the money, agreeing
to pay per cent interest. To secure the
payment Of the interest. Keene put I'D Z
bond for $4,000 on the Westbury prop
erty. The plaintiff alleges that the de-
PENDANTS agreed to pay the interest on
May 81, 1905. but when the interest became
due it was not paid.
The company now asks that the prop
erty at Westbury be sold to satisfy their
claim against Mr.. Keene. It is expected
that as soon as Mr.. Keena has filed his
answer the court viii appoint date for
a hearing.

Special TO The Washington Herald
Richmond, Va. July A.-It still ren1a' ms
10 be seen what the Virginia authorities
propose doing in connection with Judge
Pritchards interlocutory injunction. which
IN effect forbids the State corporation
commissioners from doing anything what
ever in the 2-eent rate matter until the
case IS settled on its merits in the Fed
eral courts
The spectacular fight In North Carolina
in connection with a similar matter, has
the effect Of accentuating the seeming in
activity of the Old Dominion authorities.
The delay in reality is due probably 20 a
desire on the part of the Virginia authorl-
ties to see how things are to terminate in
the Old Moth State.
The attorney general and the governor
are decidedly reticent about the manner
Of procedure 10 be adopted by Virginia. II
Is the general impression that Virginia is
standing on much frmer legal ground
than her sister to the south. In Caro-
lima it was the legislature which decreed
the reduced rates, while in this State the
change was ordered by the corporation
commission, after months had been spent
in investigating the railway conditions.
and after all the railroads had been heard
at length
It is n fact. however, that the people of
the State are becoming alarmed and are
demanding that some action be taken TO
protect the rights Of the State.
