Statement UNSPARING IN WORDS Declares That the Plotters "Traded in the Bloody of Enemies TESTIMONY IS BEGUN Witnesses Tell of Explosion c That Caused Death of Steunenberg By Oscar King Davis BOISE. Idaho. June 4— As an oratorical effort the speech of "Jin>" Hawley in opening the prosecution of William D. Haywood for the murder of ex-Governor Steunenberg this morn ing was far from justifying the reputa tion of the chief prosecutor as a jury pleader, but as a time consumer it was a distinguished success. It was a fine exhibition of ability to skirt around the edges of the state's case without getting sufficiently scar to details to permit the ' defense to derive any benefit from what .was .disclosed. To b© sure, Hawley talked conspiracy, i fie hammered at that most of the time and occasionally in s<lv«m« terms. He talked about tbe choice- . r - :.its of the in ner circle of the western federation of miners to whom "murder became a trade and assassination a means of liv ing." He promised to show how this In oer circle, had grown up, how It had planned to perpetuate itself in power through crime and terrorism and how :t had "traded In human blood." But all this was in the broadest impres fslonist style. Again and again Clarence Darrow protested that there was no statement of facts by which the state would at tempt to prove their assertions. At every interruption Hawley merely promised the court to make the proper connections when the evidence was in troduced and so gained permission to go on. Only on two ocasions did his references to the conspiracy charged by the state touch matters which have not been the subject of general talk in Boise for weeks. Then, •when he got away from the conspiracy and talked of the killing: of Steunenberg, he grew minutely detailed. LAWYER'S TACTICS APPAREXT On that point, however, there will be little controversy, and what he said was of no use to Darrow and his 13 col leagues for the defense. But. if- tbe opening speech did not rcvea\ much as to the line of evidence which the pros ecution will introduce it did > disclose something of the character of the fight that • Haywood's multitudinous lawyers will have to put up. It was to b« taken for granted that they would contest (\u25bavery possible point all the way, but this morning's session showed that so far as Richardson at least was con cerned there was no intention to limit themselves to means of unquestioned fairness. It was at the close of) the opening epeech that Richardson made this clear. The Judge took;that,occa sion to instruct. the jurors 'out : of usual order as to the legal presumption of innocence on the part of the defendant. When he concluded Richardson rose and put In, a little speech of his ownJ He asked the court to instruct the jury also that the opening-speech was not exidence but only a promise and as such had no weight. -Well/* said the Judge, "I think that they understand that." Richardson sat and', covered ., his mouth with his hands as If •; to t hide "a smile. '"They do now," he" responded with a. satisfied smile. DARROW \u25a0 VERY BUSY Before that Darrow had given an in teresting exhibition of ability to "get on both sides of a proposition and to object from -each. Hawley had fc&gun to recite some of the crimes .with which the inner circle of the western : federa tionwaa charged -by. the state, besides the Steunenberg' murder. He had named two" ar.three when Darrow broke in with a hot'protest,i<ieclar!ng that. they were entirely immaterial and* Irrelevant, had nothing -.'Whatever to .
