WHY MIMAS
HOT USED ON STAND
Attorney Explains Reason For Not
Using Some Witnesses and For
Having Put Mover Before
Jury. Though a
Prisoner.
Boise, Idaho, July 25. In resum
ing his address to the Haywood jury
this morning, Clarence E. Darrow,
who Is having the last word for the
defense, took un the defense of Jack
Simpkln's Might after the arrest of
orchard.
Darrow was very hoarse as a re
sult of speaking five hours and forty
minutes yesterday and spoke today
with the greatest effort.
He said that the reason Simpkins
was not here was because he was
afraid to be In Boise. He did not
know whether Simpkins is innocent
or r.oit, but took Issue with the state
ment of Proscutor Hawlcy that his
mgnt proved his guilt.
He said that If that be true, the
fact that Haywood. Mover and Pet-
tibone did not flee proved their In
nocence, but neither proposition Is
true.
Wliy Adams Wits Not Used.
"Hawley blamed the Federation
for the re-election of Simpkins to
the executive board, but if he had
not been re-elected, Hawley would
have said that showed beyond a
doubt that the man was guilty," said
the attorney.
Darrow here went Into a lengthy
discussion as to why the defense had
not nut Steve Adams and Georare, A.
Pettlbone on the stand. He demand
ed to know why the prosecution had
not put C. K. Sterling, detective of
the Mine Owners' association on the
stand. Adams, the attorney ' ex
plained, is on trial for the murder of
a man In northern Idaho. Under the
circumstances, Darrow said he
would rather cut on his right arm
than allow Adams to go on the
stand, much as he desired the ac
quittal of Haywood.
Must be Protected.
"I am not afraid of what he would
say against Haywood, but I am
afraid to let Adams, my client, turn
himself wrong side out under the
cunning cross examination of Sen
ator Borah and then have his testi
mony used against him when, the
second trial for his life begins. No
lawyer who would permit his client
to do such a thing would be worthy
of the name."
As to Pettlbone Darrow said the
same thing was true.
No Cane- Against Moycr.
The reason he had nut Mover on
the stand while he too Is awaiting
una i, uarrow saia, is that mere is no
evidence of any sort for Moyer to
explain. He expressed the belief
mat Moyer would never be tried.
Darrow demanded to know whv
McParland and Sterling have not
been indicted. He charged the Mine
Owners' association directly with the
blowing up of the Independence
depot, so that they might take the
law In their own hands and drive
out the Federation and all the men.
women and children who sympa-
imzeu wun 11.
Plunging vigorously Into the Crln
pie Creek troubles, Darrow declared
that "When some day the people get
the right angle of this case and look
back upon the Colorado labor strug
gles, they will have had one of the
most Important and pregnant chap
ters in tne history of the United
states.
Ridicules Orchard's llcligion.
Darrow dwelt for the last hour of
the morning session upon the Brad
ley explosion in Sun Francisco. "Ie
declared that all the evidence point
ed to a gas explosion and described
the testimony In support of Orchard'
story as to the bomb as "manufac
tured In Pinkerton McParland's per
Jury factory."
The attorney asserted that It was
impossible for Orchard to have
gained the roof of the Bradley
apartment except by climbing the
gutter jape.
"And you don't catch Harrv climb
ing any pipes," he went on. "Oh,
no, no chance like that for Harry.
He might fall down and hurt his
finger, and if he hurt his finger he
might not be able to play the harp
in kingdom come."
The luncheon recess taken at this
point, continued until 2 p. m. Dar
row will complete his plea of this
afternoon mid Senator Borah will
commence his closing argument to
night. t'He Nearly Cunt-ludcxl.
The case is now almost closed, as
Senator Borah will undoubtedly con
clude his argument sometime tomor
row. He has already stated that he
did not propose to consume much
time in answering the argument of
the defense.
Should the case go to the Jury be
fore Saturday noon, a verdict msiy be
expected sometime during the after
noon, as it is not expected that the
Jury will be out many hours. Indeed
there is a sentiment here that the
Jurymen will agree on their verdict
within a few minutes after retiring.

Chicago, 111., July 25. Mrs. Eman

DID MAGILL MAKE FAY
GRAHAM WRITE
LETTERS?
Present GIrl-WIfe Said to Have
Penned Suicidal
Notes.
MAY BE INDICTED
AS ACCESSORY
w0I,P,tor' ln Ju'y Fay Graham
Magill, the young- bride of Fred H.
Magill, prdbably will be held by a
special grand Jury that Is to gather
here Saturday, on the charge of hav
ing written the letters generally as
cribed to the deceased Pet Oandy
Magill. It Is considered certain that
Fred Magill will be held on the
charge of murder. There has been
some doubt as to what the Jurors
will do with his youthful wife.
Ever since the discovery of Pet
Maglll's body and the simultaneous
appearance of the letters supposed to
have been written by her the the
orists have been working overtime aa
to the authorship of the communica
tions. The adherents to the suicide
theory claimed that Pet Magill her
self wrote them.
Did She Write Letters?
A person well acquainted with the
case and on the Inside explained the
theory in this way:
"When It came to the last ditch
Fred Magill was afraid. He did not
want to write the letters, and so he
hinted to Fay that she might try her
hand at them. I do not say she did
it, but it Is not beyond reason. She
Is a stenographer by training and a
mighty smart woman. What would
prevent her obeying Fred In this as
she has In other matters?"
According to this authority, the
state has obtained a specimen of the
young wife's handwriting and will
turn It over to the experts as soon as
the Pet Magill epistles are obtained.
The latter are believed to be In ths
possession of Marguerite Magill, Fred
Maglll's daughter. The state is wor
ried over the disappearance of the
notes.
Point la Ills Favor.
Circumstances In Fred Maglll's fav
or are these:
He Is a man of pleasant disposition
and never has been accused of ab
solute cruelty.
His wife was subject to severe
headaches and complained for years
of the nagging of her husband's rela
tives. She told members of her circle, anj
even of the Jury that later sat in in
quest over her body, that she was
tired of the constant criticisms to
which she was being subjected, and
would do away with herself.
She was unquestionably the victim
of a husband's peculiar powers of
suggestion; or she was In terror of
her husband.
The suggestion from him that he
was tired of her and preferred the
company of Fay Graham might. It if
lalnied, create In her mind the pur
pose of suicide, without her husband,
however, making any threat or di
rect request.
There are, too, other things that
favor the defense. All the evidence
Is circumstantial, and the discovery
of the body with the face covered
with a chloroformed cloth Is prima
fade evidence of death from that
cause. The doctors so stated, and
even If the Chicago experts who are
examining the oad woman's Internal
organs should report the presence of
strychnine, a Jury would -probably
say the doubt as to what caused death
chloroform or strychnine was so
strong that the defendant should b-i
discharged.

been decided to make the "Manzano
uay rtcnic" a permanent organiza
tion, and the name selected Is "The
Manzano Orchard Association." An
executive committee composed of
John W. Corbett. of Mountainair,
(.a vino Haea, of Manzano, and Juan
C. Jutamlllo. of Torreon, was ap
pointed to tlttt offioers, fix the date
and take active charge of the work.
These picnics arc .held under the
old apple trees at Manzano, which
the native1 people found growing
here when they made their first trip
this side the mountains In 1806. and
it Is from thtt.n trees that ipc Man
zano mountains are named. The In
tention of the organization will be to
care for the old trees and afford
people a convenient opportunity to
see them.
The annual picnics under ' "the
shade of the old apple trees" have
become a Hairs of particularly grea t
enjoyment, both to the newcomers of
the territory and also to,, those who
have resided here for years and are
well acquainted with the orchard
and its history.
The orchard today bears apples as
plentiful us It did ages ago when the
natives first discovered it. and there
Is hardly a more beautiful spot or
prettier bit of scenery tobe found in

Philadelphia, Pa.. July 25. The

against all Kosher butchers as a pro

angry women, prospective customers
driven out, windows broken, and
kerosene In a nuimlber of instances,
poured over the meat. Several wo
men were arrested and the police had
to use considerable force iu dispers

The Jewish quarter, often the
scene of riots through the mlsunder

customs, seldom witnessed a more
violent outburst than that which vis
ited It today,
The rise In price of meat In the
Kosher butcher shops, is of course,
due to the rise in price of live stock
which prevails all over the country
an dls generally credited to the fact
that the packers have added to the
price the cost of ipost mortem and
oiner pure rood law examinations.
This is a fact that Is not generally un
derstood among the foreigners of this
city, and the increased cost of living
has caused much discussion
The fact that Kosner meat must
be strictly pure according to the Jew
Ish ritual, and in addition imust be
properly handled under certain re
strictions of the church, has always
made that class of meat a high priced
article, but the Jews um no other,

housewives of the section to such a

despite the fact that a watchful po

storm in that quarter, called fir help,
before the additional blue coats could

wrought among the Kosher shops,
The proprietors were beaten with

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE
"WILL VISIT CAPITAL
When Captain George Curry. New
Mexico's new governor, arrived at
Koswell yesterday, he found orders
from the war department, under
which he Is still acting, directing hlra
to come immediately to Washington.
The president also directed him to
come to Oyster Bay. For this rea
son the Inauguration which was to
have been held on August 1 will have
to be postponed until the return ol
the new governor.
While the date Is not definitely
known, Captain Curry will probably
return to Santa Fe from Washington
about August 10th.
The com mi tee at Santa Fe arrang
ing for the Inauguration, will con
tinue to make preparations.
As a result of the delay the attend
dance at the inauguration ceremonies
will probably be much larger than
had It been held on August 1 as more
peo'pie will have time to make ar
rangements to be present.
A large number of representatives
business men and residents of this
city will attend.
In addition to the delegation from
this city, parties will go to Santa Fe
from all points south as far as Silver
City.
several bands will accompany these
parties in addition to1 the American
Lumber company band from this city.
Particular care Is .being taken by
the local committee to -provide accom
modations for the ladles who desire
to attend. There will be a number
of ladles from this city and from
towns to the south of Albuquerqux
along the Santa Fe line who will Join
tne Aiuuquerque delegation here.
Captain Curry today wired Acting
Governor J. W. Kaynolds at Santa
Fe of the necessity for changing his
plans and expressed the hope that
the commltteu preparing to receive
him would nut be seriously Incon
venienced. The committee, however, will only
be given additional time in which to
arrange for the inauguration.
The W. H. Andrews Itepubllcan
club of this city is preparing to hold
a meeting of officers and members
for the purpose of attending the in
auguration. This meeting will be
held early next week, probably on
Monday evening. Anouncement of
the meeting will appear In The Citi
zen later.
A telephone message from Santa Fe
this afternoon stated that from let
ters received fro mall portions of New
Mexico, the attendance would prob
ably be larger than was at first ex
pected and would probably be tho
largest gathering of the kind In years.

Ex-Emperor Active.
Seoul, July 25. Ex-Emperor TI
Heul's "pernicious activity" since he
was forced to abdicate has caused
the Japanese muotv worry. . ...
r.Not only- has he stirred up . his
former subjects to repeated acts of
violence, Inspired his army with, hat
red of the Japanese and set on foot
a variety of cunning intrigues to get
back his throne, but the Mikado's
representatives complain that he has
caused a serious defection in the new
cabinet, and, worst of all, ihas dic
tated actions of the new emperor, his
son, inducing him, among other
things, to refuse to sign a proclama
tion the new cabinet had drawn up
"to cairn the people- and restore or
der." The first "conspiracy" laid to the
omperor was his ordering the imper
ial guard to seize the palace last Fri
day night and save him from being
put off the throne by the Japs.
The Korean army's defying the
minister of war and remaining loyal
to their old emperor is deemed evi
dence of another of Yl Heul's "con
spiracles." The attack on the Japanese palace
at the grand ball, led by a Korean
army ottlilal, Is regarded as proof of
still another.
Acts of a Mob.
The discovery of a plot against tha
throne resulted iu the arrest between
midnight and dawn today of the el
der Matesmen of Korea. together
wath Pake Yung Ho, who was ap
pointed minister of the Imperial
household, and Yl Do Chal, grand
uhamberlaln of the former emperor.
The minister of war has reported
to Marquis Ito, the Japanese resi
dent general, that he has no control
over or communication w'th the
army.
One Japanese was wounded during
the encounter In front of the Great
Hell yesterday.
Two villas belonging to deposed
members of the former ca 1)1 not were
burned down between 7 o'clock and

current that three cruisers, with
ability to l-iud 1.000 bluejackets, are
making their way to Chemulpo.
