Last Nights Session.
Attorney Richardson brought his two day
argument in defense Of Haywood to a close
at half-past last night with a fierce de-
Partland, the detective.
He declared that the theory that religion
actuated Orchard in making his confession
was absurd and described him as a cheap.
tawdry hero who sat on the witness chair
like king, who was the author of
magazine article about himself and was
made much of by everybody about him.
This man, he further declared, had been
promised immunity for his confession,
though he had denied it.
Mr. Richardson's voice nearly gone
when he faced the jury for the last time
last night. but he came up game when the
bell sounded and started at once to tell how
the vultures Pinkertons) and the hell
hounds of capital idaho and Colorado state
and county off1cials) had been steadily at
fasten that crime on the leaders of the
Western Federation of Miners. He seemed
to think that the offer of a large reward
for the capture of the murderer was an ar
gument calculated to back up that theory.
Worried the Defense.
1t has all along worried the defense a
good deal that Harry Orchard has been in
generated in the pententiary and not in
Jail, and Mr. Richardson took this chance
to denounce the state officials for this ac-
ton, which, as appeared in Orchards con-
fession, brought him into contact witt Nc
Partland. The detective was denounced.
and the lawyer practically declared that the
Mollie Mcguire outrages, in suppressing
which Mcfarland won his spurs, were real
ly insugated by Mcfarland himself. Then
the lawyer waded into the detective for
further orders. Said he:
Mr.. Hawley, in his opening, promised
you that this terror to evildoers would
ror to evildoers? Did he go on the stand?
He did not. Only once has this terror to
evildoers darkened the doors of this court
room since this trial began, and that was
after the evidence was all in and he thought
he was coming to hear a eulogy pronounced
upon him by Mr.. Hawley. l wish he was
here to hear the eulogy 1 am about to
pronounce upon him.
There burst Of laughter at this
and one man started to chap his hands, but
the noise was sternly suppressed by the
sheriff, and it did not break out again.
Richardson hurried on to declare that
though the Pinkertons had been for years
on the trail of the Western Federation, not
a single crime had they ever been able to
fasten upon the leaders. He asserted at
the top Of his voice that the Pinkertons
knew that Orchard would confess long be-
fore he did. Re ridiculed the claim that
Mcfarland deserved any credit for It, and
declared that in his judgment the evidence
showed the whole thing had been pre-
arranged.
Baked the Counsel.
One circumstance rather baked counsel
In this belief, and that was Orchards at
tempt to commit suicide after his con-
fession. but he really did not think that
amour Led to much, or If it did, it was the
result of his remorse at swearing away the
lives of innocent men,
"Petted by the warden, visited by the
governor. and called Harry, this vile, this
wretched. this loathsome creature-I uon't
know that he calls Senator Borah BILL but
! do know from the evidence that the sena-
tor called him Harry
And we see them all together, not
for the purpose of hanging that murderer
but for the purpose of making this jury
believe that Orchard told the truth, and so
persuade you jurors to vote to hang the
leaders of this organization, which has
been conducting industrial war against
the mine owners of the west, which Is an
other name for the Standard OIL Company"
Mr.. Richardson was vastly displeased be-
cause the state employed Mr.. hawley and
Senator Borah to prosecute ais clients in
stead of leaving the job to the attorney of
Canyon county. He thought that W. an
other evidence that there was a conspiracy
to convict his clients whether or no
