Tribute from Juryman
e. F. Richardson, as one of the
attorneys for the defense during the
trial of William D. Haywood for the
Durder of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg, will be we'll remember
ed by the members of the bar, the
newspaper fraternity engaged in re-
porting that trial, court officials and
others with whom he came in contact.
In this connection it will prove in
teresting to know the impression of
the jury which tried the case, espec-
tally in view of the fact, that owing
to numerous misunderstanding be-
tween Richardson and Clarence OAR
row during the trial, Mr.. Richardson
declined to represent the defense in
the trial of George A. Pettibone, when
his case came to trial in the same
charge.
Richardson gave evidence of being
a good lawyer, a deep thinker and
an honest advocate" stated one OF
the best known members of the Hay
wood jury to the Capital News only
a few days ago, in discussing the at
torneys upon both sides of the case,
and he had no hesitancy in declaring
his belief that it was the work OF
Richardson that saved Haywood from
4 verdict of guilty. 1--WE found Hay
wood not guilty, not because of Clar-
ence Da rows service as attorney in
The case and before the jury, but in

declaring:
1.-THE labor unions are making
mistake in selecting Darrow as attor-
ley for the defense in the Los An

such cases. Richardson was an at
orney who defended and protected
lis client because he believed he mer-
ted defense and protection and he
lid it at all times in the most gentle
manly and courteous manner.
Among members of the bar at
Boise, Richardson stood as much
bove the Socialistic pleader from
chicago as the mountain peaks of
he state stand above the Valleys"
vas the statement today of daily
ttendant at the trial of the Haywood
ase, and Is the expression of the
elief of most Boise eople who have
eclared their opinion of the attor-
eys engaged in the case.
"Darrow tailed Socialism to the
Try" he continued. "He preached
to the galleries and he hurled it
the court, and neither the jury nor
le court being Socialists, and but s
w of the galleries, the tendency q
as to injure the chances of his CHI r
