to secure money from all the sources
he could" declared Hawley. "and |
am not going to defend him for his
double dealings in taking money
from both the Western Federation OF
Miners and the railroad company.
There Is but one claim we make for
him. and that is that he has told you
the truth"
Hawley said Immediately after the
train twrecking incident Orchard was
found again In the Western Fedora
