Trails of Crimes All Lead to
Hay wood, Says Borah
Declares ; Idaho Must Vindicate Itself to
Remain ifi^Unioa of States
Oscar King Davis
BOISE, Idaho, July 25.— Senator Borah began his closing argu
ment in the Haywood trial at 7 o'clock this evening. - Despite^the
heat, which rendered the place almost unbearably warm -at this
hour, the courtroom was crowded as it has nQt^been; before, even
for the first days of Orchard's testimony. v Asi on {yesterday evening
there was a crowd on the lawn of those who were unable to secure
admission even to the corridors and halls of the courthouse. /Not
only was every seat taken but all around the walls a line' of men
stood, often two and three deep.
j .Borah was taking no time in preliminaries. "There is no grayer
or greater responsibility resting upon the state," he said, "than that
of enforcing the law and affording protection' to the lives .and the
property of its citizens." Adverting- to the attacks on Prosecutor
Van Duyn of Canyon county, and of Hawley by Richardson and
Darrow, Borah said that it might be that there was some -reason
why the defense should attack the men 'who; had had th~e courage to
bring to the bar the men. charged; with atrocious crimes.
.. - "There seems to 'be. running' through this case an attack for
every one connected with Ithe prosecution of the awful crime of
December 30. 1905. There could be no plea so strong and elo-'
quent for the prosecution as that tes-^~^ — — -i-.\u25a0-\u25a0i -.\u25a0-\u25a0- . . \u25a0 . '. . ->^
tlmony. *' - '\u25a0 "
There was no attempt at oratorical
display by_ Borah. He stood away from
the jury and talked In a -deliberate
fashion, scarcely even raising his voice.
-"One; thing Is true," he said, "and
that is. that for the last few. years a
terrible condition has prevailed in this
mountain .country, where: 20 or -more
murders have gone. unpunished by Jus
tice. We don't want, any man to, suffer
for the crime of Harry Orchard if -he
was not aiding and abetting it. We
don't want him committed for the crime ;
ofc. Pettlbone If he was not a cocon-,
splrator. . . . * - -.. ;\
."Much; has been said about this ,b.e.-.
ing a poisoned community, crying V^or
tlie,/ blood of Hay wood. . Have.yoa
heard of any such cries?. Is there any
poison in your hearts? . u"-'^?-
XOT FIGHTIXG LABOR- "~
"We are not fighting organized labor,"
nor "are we fighting the poor and the
weak. This is simply a trial for mart'
der. Frank SteuncnOerg \u25a0 has been
muhJered and the integrity* and the
manhood of Idaho wants to know.. An
offense has been committed that
shocked the civilized world and we
would not be fitted for membership \r.
the community of states if we did riot
want to know.
'\u25a0"It doesn't mean war. It is -not class
against class. It is not faction against
faction— it is justice and fairness. and
honesty and right that we seek. If I
were to contend that it was a case" of
class against class I would not inveigh
against law, I would not rail against
government or sneer at the Christian
religion."
With that response to the sneers of
Darrow, Borah took up the Steunen
berg case. "If you stand,'/ he said, "at
the yard gate of Frank Steunenberg's
home, spattered with the blood of your
dead governor, and examine the .trail
of his murderer you will , find that
every track leads ap those stairs In
Denver up which Harry Orchard went"
to.get Haywood to look at the "rig- lie
bought for the darky. From the hour
of his arrival in- Colorado Orchard
never went forth to commit crime
without starting from Denver and -re-,
turning to Denver after the crime -was
committed."
Borah denied the assertion of the de
fense that on the state's contention
the 40,000 members of the western
federation of miners became criminals
and conspirators. He said that there
was only a small number of men in
the conspiracy, but that he would show
as clearly the fact that somewhere In
the western federation of miners there
was a power which controlled and
committed crime.
«DY>*AMITE," THEIR SLOGAN*
Turning to the Bunker Hill* riot in
the Coeur d'Alenes, Borah describ.ed
the military precision of the move
ment of the- conspirators. "Arms they
had," he said, "and besides these, some
thing which a certain school of philoso
phers thinks more \u25a0of than they do. of
the bible — dynamite. They say it was
not a criminal organization. Jack
Slmpkins, whom Darrow threw over
board. :who was with Orchard, the uji-"
speakable villain, in Caldwell, has been
re-elected to a position of power and
influence in the western federation of
miners. Is it a criminaV organization
\u25a0which harbors criminals from Justice?
They say that whatever western fe,d r .
oration has done il has nothing"' ts
apologize for. Well, it strikes me that
whatever , the result of this case ; iff
there are some things which demand
an apology."
Then Borah ; turned his -attention- to
Orchard and the varying views of him
presented by the defense. "They
started out with the argument that he
was a homicidal maniac," the attorney
proceeded, "but . - before *they • got
through they had him a Pinkerton7def
tectlye luring Jack Simpkins off 'the
train at CaldwelL But there was method
In his actions. He .went , about -the
world murdering 'whom he would ; and
whom he could, but one thing he never
did, he^ never, missed an . enemy of the
western federation. > He .'never got-, a
union man and he never, aimed a phot
at the federation's. opponents.;; He may
have been a maniac, but 'it was not de
veloped on 'a .week's cross examination.'
'The great question in the. case,": said
Borah, "is w^hether'or not lOrchard., told
the truth. -\u25a0, There » is a_brand".6f^crim-ra _ brand". 6f^crim- r
inal whiph belongs almost . exclusively
to ;*\ Orchard's t>-pe. You ; can
pretty- near, trace him from. Bunker
Hill day to- Frank \u25a0Steunenberg's mur
der by the manner and the method.", of
his crimes.
CAXTP CALL CHRIST "IM POSTER**'"..
"Orchard may not have » religion,^ I
don't know, but I do know that 20 cen
turies of civilization teach us that there
Is a. divine ; power; which, can and, does
do 'with -men's '.hearts: what": Orchard
says It has done with his.. It is.too.late
in the day for the twentieth .century;
to ' write on ' the brow of the figure- on
Calvary 'imposter.', - J r ': ; ;\u25a0.' ,
"I don't know what you .will do. with
Haywood, but Harry Orchardr^wlll
nererbe freed.' You tnay: set Haywood
free. but> you will never. find 12 men, in
the state of Idahp^ who. will set Orchard
free, and. there is hot a man I . who. would
stand up before the manhood' and wom
anhood of ! - the state "as governor and
purdon him." The : man Vwho: intimates
that, . I ; would ; compromise , with "Orchard
does not understand ; a drop_ of ; blood
that circulates In" ray. body."
' In Bpite'of'.the" many. hours of argu;
"ment and oratory; to which they: have
listened fthe', jurors gave -Borah \u25a0 the
closest attentionrthroughout.'.- Haywood
maintained the appearance-.iof 'com-;
posure "steadily and: watched the prose
cutor, unwaveringly.'
; DARROW CONCLUDES
Clarence i Darrow closed his \u25a0 pica, in
behalf of Haywood at the morning seb-^
«ioi»:': •'i:-:- J ':' .'\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 '-. ' : .- • ---.-'
He hammered away^ on very, much the.
eamo] lino j that ; he I took i last \ night-;/, It
was * ostensibly^ an", examination sthe
testimony, r Interrupted at f frequent | in?
t«rvals with digressions In '- the ' Darrow
brand of nonreslsting socialism, the
kind that never resists when its friends
are beating up its enemies.*: There was
not quite ;as much flre in him "_\u25a0 today,
the -work of yesterday having evidently
exhausted his • ardor somewhat, but he
had enough left to sneer.at Orchaid
and the Pinkertons . and .;• Hawley and
Vani Duyn and the mine owners and
everybody -connected with the prosecu
tion, either in fact or in his imagina
tion... .•- \u25a0\u25a0;\u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0> :\u25a0
."It was a • strange thins," .he said,
speaking 1 of the -mine owners and- the
citizens'; ' alliance. -. of . Cripple Creek,
"that with all the men upon whom they
I aid-. -unlawful ..hands their lives * are
safe..' With, all that. he had endured and
suffered it would have. been no wondet
if t M<.yer,had-had murdtr in Iji.j heart.
Tht-r mine: owners, have failed to kill
Haywood in Colorado; now they ask an
Idaho jury to help them: out.^Bfe^^^
'.; "The supremej court of Colorado was
not there to help Moyer out of the bull
pen; it was. there to help the mine own
ers '\u25a0 / keep : C him- in the bull. pen. We
workingmen" are held to strict account
when- Stewart tries : to break the union
and -is taken, out- and beaten. The
newspaper prints columns about it,. a
hell ofihorror runs over ' the?country
and troops are sent out to destroy the
organization. But when Judges and
courts conspire to kill a poor working
man; to murder him under the form
of -law,'.- there' is nobody— except a* no
body — to raise a voice- in protest."
TOO MUCH DI.V FOR JURY
That was the course of the argument
all day. The fashion of examination
of the evidence most affected was: to
take up the testimony* of this, or that
witness and ask which the Jury would
believe, him or Orchard, followed; al
ways " by. a vitriolic description . of i
Orchard or of the state's witnesses who
•corroborated him. >\
\u25a0 The lawyer had .a hard time of- it at
the afternoon session,, a polite request
being made by Juror Scrivener, that he
ctand further. - away, as •- it '\u25a0- some
jurors :thfe headache to " s have him. stand
so close to '<\u25a0 the .box^and talk so | loud.
Darrow^ said ; "Thank : you" as , cheerfully
as. lie. could, stepped back^a.' few^jfeet to
start, and ": within [ a few minutes .. was
back under, their noses hammering
away as hard as his outraged voice
would permit. '. . .- : '~*;j.'^\
In closing, Darrow said: '.'I ask you
to remember that there is nothing !n
this case „ but that perjured testimony
of that' villain Harry Orchard.- If you
can kill my client on j his testimony,
then peace be with ,ybu. Bill Hay
wood Is my friend. .It would be "a, sad
day . for "me if you that T he
must ascend the scaffold. '.The. sun j will
not shine nor the . birds sing for me
that day. . . \u25a0
- "But not for him,' nor for the"" widow
nor the children Is my. 'chief concern.
Ten thousand will work-down in the
mines , and contribute to their . support.
But don't you think that if you hans
Bill ;: Haywood you will . crucify the
labor. 'movement?" . .
Haywood sat .with, flushed face but
head. erect throughout this appeal, but
his', wife and mothtr. .were sobbing
openly* and all around the courtroom
women were weeping. ;. Darrow i • had
brought the tears to his own eyes again
and there* was as much of a tremor in
his voice as' its .worn and husky con
dition would permit. - - _\u25a0' .: :\u25a0\u25a0 :'•..".* . :
. VI \u25a0 speak \ for. the poor, and the weal;
and the weary,'* he said/ "for that long
line, of men and. women who- in dark
ness and despair have borne i the labou
of humanity.; The eyes of the world are
upon'you twelve men of Idaho' tonight;
throughout the civilized world men are
thinking, wondering,' dreaming -about
your verdict. . v ,\u25a0'-. -
\u0084*\u0084 * "Out on the : prairies, and in th*i"
