Heat Overcomes Richardson as He
Makes His Plea for Haywood
Attorney Demands Acquittal on the Ground That
Orchard's Testimony Is -Without Cprtobbration
BOISE, Idaho. July 22. — The. fever of
the July sun In Boise moved Judge
Wood to cut out the afternoon session
of the Haywood trial today and sub
stitute an evening session In its place.
The courtroom was so hot that Attor
ney Richardson, who began his argu
ment for Haywood this morning, was
compelled to ask the court'to adjourn
the morning session a quarter of an
hour before the regular time, as he
found It too uncomfortable to go on.
One of the Jurors had previously
complained of the heat and everybody
in the room was suffering.
But in spite of the weather there was
a crowd out to /hear Richardson that
filled the room so that a good many
were turned away, unable to find
seats.
The ladies of Haywood's family were
present, his mother occupying the seat
next to him. From the first they dis
played great Interest in the lawyer's
argument. /
Richardson steams at high speed
when cruising and his coal consump
tion Is great, so his steaming radius Is
comparatively short, especially on hot
days like this. He has a great big
voice, which he works pretty near all
the time, and he accompanies it with
both feet and hands in a series of leg
and arm movements which require a
grood deal of stamina to sustain. He
is probably the most practiced orator
«mong the lawyers making the closing
arguments, but there Is not nearly so
much vaj-iation in his emphasis or
tone as there is in the work of either
Hawley or Darrow.
.MAKES ATHLKTIC SPEECH
Richardson speaks rapidly, but with
great distinctness, and his diction and
enunciation are admirable. He had th«
counsel tables moved back and apart
s« as to give him a grood space to walk
about in as he talked. His favorite
method of attack on the jury was to
bark off to the limit of retreating pos
sibility and then, crouching down, to
approach stealthily, speaking softly un
til'he got fairly in front of the first
row of jurors and then boom out his
point at the top of his voice and with
explosive emphasis
He is a tall man who throws his
shoulders far back and his head is
very suggestjve of Abe Hummel. In
Restoring he usually spreads the fin
gers of his hands apart and when not
using his hands in that way he often
folds them on his stomach after the
manner of the Funday school superin
tendent addressing his children. He
did not progress far in the morning
beyond the development of his argu
ment.' If he handles the rest of his
subject with as minute care as Its
opening it will take all of tomorrow
for him to conclude. He wasted small
time in getting into action this morn
ing and had but little to say to the
jury by way of congratulation on the j
approaching end of its task. \
He occupied but few minutes, too, in
appealing to it to lay aside passion
and prejudice in forming the verdict.
That done he plunged into the sub
ject and took up the conditions i* the
Coeur d'Alenes in 1599. He admitted
that the murder of Steunepberg re
sulted from his action as governor at
that time. and. that it was an unjus
tifiable crime, declaring that the lead
ers of the western federation of miners
condemned it Just as much as anybody
else. But he did not explain the edi
torials of the Miners' Magazine on the
subject. Inferentially he condemned
the action of the labor unions, which
have been resolving on the innocence
of Moyer 'and Haywood, by declaring
that the expression of the president re
grarding their undeslrability as citizens
in advance of their trial was as much
to' be reprobated as the assertion of
their innocence made by persons ignor
ant of the evidence.
ORCHARD NOT CORROBORATED
Then he \u25a0 began a discussion of the
legal features of the case, beginning
with a statement of the law governing
the testimony of an accomplice. He
recited the history of that statute and
expiated on its wisdom. He declared
that it meant in this case that it was
necessary for the state to furnish suf
ficient ex'idence to convict Haywood en
tirely independent of Orchard's story
before a verdict could be found law
fully. He argued that point at length,
poing over much of the ground covered'
in his motion for an instructed verdict
before the defense opened its case.
Then he discussed the presumption of
innocence and reasonable doubt, after
which he explained .his conception of
the conspiracy statutes. He declared
that the state had furnished no evi
dence whatever of the general conspir
acy that It had charged, but that Its
evidence tended to show. If It tended
to show anything, a series of separate,
unconnected crimes.
"If they had had any independent cir
cumstances connecting this defendant
with a general conspiracy," he declared,
"your time would not have been taken
up with a long line of offenses charged
against the western federation of min
ers. They promised to prove to you a
general conspiracy to control politics,
to control the labor market, to control
wages and to elect to office friends of
the organization. I want to say to you
that this general conspiracy that they
complain of is a lawful one. There can
be no such thing as a conspiracy to
better the condition of workingmen.
Every one of their objects is still law
ful In this country.
"Forty thousand men belong to this
organization, 40,000 are guilty of con
spiracy. If there be a conspiracy, 40,000
criminals In one organization; that is
the condition with which the state con
front* this jury. Why/ all right minded
persons would shun them as they would
shun the pestilence. Is any man on
this jury so Insane as to believe that
40,000 or 4,0t)0 or 400 or 40 citizens can
be made to combine for ; the common
purpose of destroying' life or property?
Men could not be found in any number
In our country who would be so lost
to shame and decency."'
r.V COXFMCT/niTH DARROW
From that general prologue Richard
son started in with the Coeur d'Alene
situation and began a discussion in de
tail of Orchard's story and the various
Incidents charged by the prosecution.
In the course of this discussion he de
veloped an interesting difference be
tween himself and ; Darrow. Darrow
promised the jury In the opening state
ment for the defense that they would
bring witnesses to prove beyond doubt
that no such- meeting of the Burke
union on the morning of Bunker hill
day as Orchard had described had ever
taken place. Now Rlchardson ; followed
the line of Orchard's story, but argued
that It was not / a union meeting ' be
cause, while the" secretary called it .and
urged the going to Wardner, the presi
dent disapproved it and worked'agalnct
going.
The result, , as - Richardson described
It, was that a general mob of all sorts
of persons .went to War«er,but it was,
not a union meeting. or, oy union action
that It went : Then as to Orchard's mo
tive for getting / out, of the region.
Rlchardsonsald that it /made no differ
ence whether he'wajs-at Wardne'r, on
wtat day or piavins: .polier at Mullane.
Oscar King Davis
his motive' was the same. He belonged
to the union and the word went out
that the soldiers were going to take all
union men.
One advantage 'of Richardson's
method of cross examination came out
In this part of his argument.- He
asked several witnesses if it were not
true that Joe McDonald, superintendent
of the Frisco mine, opened the powder
house on Buhker Hill day and gave the
mob the powder that was used. He
always met with denial, but he had it
so firmly fixed in his own mind that
this morning he told the Jury that it
was in the record that McDonald had
dono so.
TAL.KS OF THE "BULLPEN"
He closed his discussion of the Coeur
d'Alenes with a singular appeal to" the
jury, which the prosecution will" argue
was directly In line with' th# subtle at
tempt of. the defense to justify the ac
tions of the federation. He described
the bullpen conditions and exclaimed:
"If you had been In that bullpen it
would have inspired hatred in your
hearts. It is to the credit of those
men who were confined" there that there
was no result disastrous to the men
who were responsible for their incar.
ceration. It speaks volumes for the
control of ( this organization over . Ita
men." y .
Then Richardson went into a • de
fense of Jaque* Simpkins, declaring
that he too was in the bullpen and
showed great control of himself. Dar
row had thrown Simpkins over in his
opening statement, but since that was
made It had been brought out on cross
examination of Haywood and Moyer
that Simpkins had been re-elected to
the executive board, so that the federa
tion had not thrown him" over.
From the Cover d'Alenes Richardson
traveled to* the Cripple Creek district
by way of Utah, where he went for his
part of his description of Harry Or
chard. He based most of this descrip
tion on the picture of Orchard and two
other men, which the defense intro
duced, showing Orchard standing. with
a smoking revolver, in his hand over
the body of a man lying on a card
table and the third man coming to th«
rescue.
After concluding his discussion at
the evening- session of Tom. Woods' ac
count of the Vindicator explosion Rich
ardson went into the troubles at .Tellu
ride and Moyer's trip there with Or
chard. This- brought him to the sub
ject of Moyer's arrest on the charge of
desecrating the flag and there the law
yer made a most amazing plea, It was
not the "confession and avoidance"
which Hawley described, but a confes
sion and justification.
Every word printed on every stripe of
the flag: In the notorious poster circu
lated by the federation, Richardson
declared, was the literal and exact
truth as applied to Colorado. It was a
statement of fact, he shouted, and not
a word of it contained the slightest dis
respect to the flag: or was ever so In
tended. There cquld never be any
desecration of the flag-, he declared, in
a mere publication of the truth.
The detention of Moyer despite ha
beas corpus writs and the charges
against him of murder in the' Cripple
Creek district followed -and this led
Richardson to another outburst "taf de
nunciation of Orchard, and a compari
son of his comfortable situation' at
present with'that of "those men whose
blood and whose lives are being sought
by certain interests which I will
name and describe to you at a later
stage of this argument"
"There he live-d the life of a maniac,"
cried Richardson, "the life of a dreamer
whose dream was that he was a dime
novel hero. This picture depicts the
character of Orchard. It shows the
thought that was in his mind, the
hereditary taint that was in his blood."
Richardson had made several' mis
statements of the record, which Borah
had not attempted to correct, but when
he declared that Orchard had admitted
that his uncle committed suicide when
insane, afflicted with the illusion that
he had committed some great crime,
Borah interfered and brought Richard
son back to the fact, which was that
Orchard said that his uncle became In
sane over family troubles.
OVERCOME BY HEAT
In Cripple Creek Richardson went
over the spike pulling case, declaring
that it was the work of Orchard, Scott
and Sterling, acting for the mine own
ers, and then took up the Vindicator
explosion and the story of Tom Wood
about It. There was where he asked
the Judge to stop till evening.
He likened the prosecution's . cor
roboration of Orchard' to the - story of
the man who wanted to prove that he
had spent the night in a Ferris wheel
by showing the wheel. • That was all
there was to substantiate Orchard's
story of the killing of Lyte Gregory.
Richardson said. The : killing was
surely done and Haywood" is here on
trial, that's all.
"INFLUENCES" AT WORK
Attacking Orchard's story of the In
dependence depot explosion, Itlchard-
Eon Intimated that Orchard's admission
that he was In Denver during; the weeks
just before that crime and his admis
sion that he was in. Neville's saloon in
"Victor at' the time were Incompatible.
Then he went after the prosecution for
not putting: Charley Neville on - the
stand, intimating that there was an
ulterior motive .for it. "Not : on ; the
part of . Borah or Hawley," he cried,
"but on the part of some other influ
ence. Every, Juryman/ the court, coun
sel and everybody else knows that in
the main" this case has been tried
fairly." \u0084 ,-.-
- The crime, Richardson declared,' was
the most absurd, idiotic, nonsensical
foolish thing that the western federa
tion could have done, for it consti
tuted every man in the entire com
munity, a committee of one to extirpate
the union. That alone .showed: that it
was not union "work. Anybody in. the
union who planned or directed' such : a
crime was a consummate fooL
"Ah, but they say,' why 'didn't we put
Steve Adams on the stand?'.', the attor
ney proceeded. "I'll tell "you why/ He
had been put in the penitentiary, and a

ARGUES FOR GAS THEORY
After ' following. Orchard through/his
fight afte^r the Independence 'murder,
up through Wyoming "and finally^ to
California, Richardson; "declared « his
conclusion that there was not a single
Independent bit of corroboratJon, and
that, therefore, It was all worthless. ';.
\u25a0 Of the first attempt on. Governor Pea
body and the testimony of his daughter
Richardson said that he supposed that
the "halo which, surrounded. the beau
tiful Miss Peabody when on the stand
would help her: story to make some
impression; „ but- it: was: no corrobora
tlon of Orchard ; and would- not have
been given If her; father had been king
Of the Sandwich ; islands." . &.'
"I shall proceed V; m ow.".-'.. continued
Richardson, "to a \u25a0 discussion, of the
attempt to assasslnate / Bradley,.'aß tes
tified" to by Orchard and contradicted
by everybody -else, including the wit
nesses of the state." V s o: •
With^ that Richardson f gave an > uner
ring account of the ; preparations for
the Bradley crime ac detailed by Orch
ard, and followed it up with a descrip
tion, of what care i the federation men
would have taken if \ they had been
really: engaged In such a scheme. Rlch^
ardson carried his sneer through , his
description and Haywood watched with
a sneering half smile on his own face,
whether in sympathy with or at .the
argument of his lawyer. It might have
been^either. . * •
"There is no connection whatever
between the western ' federation " . and
the ; Bradley crime,"; declared : Richard
eon,' "and no evidence that there was a
crime, and there is no testimony of any
sort, standing alone or! otherwise, con
necting Haywood: with that crime.".
/\u25a0: The attorney argued the impossibil
ity.of a bomb : explosion,- insisting that
a, reservoir for. escaping; gas had been
formed : within the ; walls 'and .under.\the
flooring, and that when It came In con
tact with the 'lighted cigar : the ex
plosion occurred and that at- the point
of | least resistance, under the mat in
the outer porch, the- flooring was torn
up. He scoffed at the evidence that a
lighted cigar would not ignite gas and
told the ; jury that in the east it was
possible to run the finger down "the
carpet and then put : It to the gas jet
and light it.
•In counsel sata %that" in"
his* opinion Orchard,' -'the typical •: wan
dererand tin horn gambler, read of the
explosion and adopted it as his own.
In any case, Richardson said, in this
as in every other part of Orchard's
testimony there was not a scintilla of
evidence to connect Haywood with the
incident. V.V*
Court adjourned at 8:35. until 9
o'clock tomorrow, when Richardson
will continue.
