BORAH’S HOT SHOT
Shatters Testimony of De

ORATORY MOST DRAMATIC

Senator Graphically Pictures Conspir
Nacyrto Kill. Steuaenberg—Recounts
Orchard’s, pto^dy. Trai^ Before
". 'Crowded: Courtgpfem, ***” 1 C
. Unitdft States Scfiatcr W. E. Borah,
engaged by the state of Idaho as spe
cial 'counsel for the prosecution of
Haywood, spoke the last, word in the
Boise courtroom Friday night, The
crowd seeking admission broke all rec
ords 4n a murder trial in Idaho. When
every seat and inch of space within
the court room was filled, sbveral hun
dred stood on the lawn under tlrn win
dows that they might catch the sen
tences from the impassioned pleading
S ncnaioi cm a ten U Bo uoran rah* b began e ga n an an analvsls anal} sis of of
the evidence, but he confined himself
to the murder of tScunenberg and the
conspiracy. He linked Orchard to Hay
wood; Haywood to Simpkins; Simp
kins to Moyer and-Moyer to Pettibone.
Vithout departing trom U^e records,
ihc dentally clearing.up dumber of
simKons bought these left sp^hat and members d||id€d, he of
the -Western K.dqgtjrm togcln r. Then
took Orchard -awiiy fjpni.Henyer
andjiack- again to Uc.nvqr to tluChond
quarters, of dho.AV^stYfii Federation of
itiners. Thitu was-dspi car: tpHy H nd
lhe;storm. .rndnotonW; the qui^ V j0je
and then HoraVs‘voice and
fhtoSfer changed. He sprang intp ac
Ills voice quivering and hang up
falued, lingers
SIO “ t •'
*
J’.Watch them now- Watch the
conspirators! Steunenberg is to-die In
thirty days, and they are moving aiu
the scene."
The dramatic Utterances and h
figure of the pleader sent a thrill
through the court room. For the space
of ion seconds there was silence, then
r.’axing BoraS ctmUnUtoL-wigh. his
‘
tuembtfrs of the Western Federation of
Miners, into touch with Orchard. With
out a pause he drew picture after pic
ture of the men, associating together
at the various points. From each place
and fresh from every crime he brought
Orchard back, “home to Denver,” aud
then, smiling, leaned toward the jury
to ask: “Why? Why, always back to
Denver, unless it was to find there the
protection and pay of his employers?"
All those things denounced or sneer
ed at by counsel for the defense, h.und
a bold and brilliant defense in Senator
Borah’s interludes. Counsel for the de
fense were driven into a murmur of
protest, now' under the lash of the
pointed sarcasm and again when, under
satire of indignant reproach, culture,
Christianity, law and order, refinement,
‘.he home and the country found a
champion. The state of Idaho, its peo
ple and its chief executive each m
turn were given brilliant euk y.
Under it all Haywood was
perhaps the one man in tin room who
showed , , the least emotion. At times his
race fare liusneti, flushed anu and mote more (h-m -nan onto paltd
under the attack, as Borah, reaching
„ the climax ,, of , ,, the conspiracy, pointed ,
au acusing finger at the man whom,
he said, “was the criminal force behind
the Western Federation of Miners.” ,
Senator Borah’s peroration was de
livered _ in . quiet, almost pleading !
tones,
in strong contrast to the harsher voice
which he spoke of Clarence Dar
argument ol justification. |
’’If,’’ he ne said said, “the tne state state has nas :i„int point
to you the men who were con
cerued in and executed , . this , awiul ,
crime, then, In the name of the man
hood arid the womanhood of Idaho, do
your duty without fear of any man
or favor to any man.
"Let us then be brave at thsi su

At the close of the senator’^ address
and the adjournment of court, he was
surrounded and congratulated by near
ly every one in the court room, in
cluding counsel for the defense.

HAYWOOD IS FREE
Jury Returns Verdict of "Not
Guilty” in Noted Case.
RESULT WAS A SURPRISE
Eight Jurors Were for Haywood from
the First and Other Four Were Fi
nally Won Ovei— Orchard’s
Story Unavaliing.
In the bright sunlight ot a beau
tiful Sabbath morning, Wiliiam D.
Haywood, secretary and treasurer of
the Western Federation of Miners,
walked from the court room at Boise,
Idaho, a free man, acquitted of the
murder of former Governor Steunen
berg.
Probability of acquittal was freely
predicted after Judge Fremont Wood
read his charge Saturday, which was
regarded as favorable to the defense
,n lta i“^Pret*tion of the laws of
conspiracy, , circumstantial evidence
and the corroboration of a confessed
accomplice
it wws also freely predicted that, in
the event of Haywood’s acquittal, ’ the
B{ftte ^ abandon , he p roaec Mon
of his associates, Charles H. Moyer,
president of the federation, and Geo.
A P * tlbope of D , I)ver . statements
from counsel and from Governor
Gooding, issued Sunday, dispel this
view of the situation. Governor Good
ing said'
'The verdict is a great surprise to

mentis made 011 the outcome was that
of Harry Orchard, (he confessed
murderer of Steunenberg, and the wit
ness on whom th? slate chiefly rolled
to prove its charge of a conspiracy
among certain members of the West
ern Federation of Miners. When told
at. the state penitentiary that Hay
wood had beeii acquitted Orchard
said:
"Well, I have done nty duty. I have
told the truth. I could do no more. I
am ready to take any punishment
that may be meted out to mo for my
crime, and the sooner it comes the
better.”
It was after being out for twenty
one hours that the jury, which at first
had been divided 8 to 4 for acquittal,
and then seemed deadlocked, at 10 to
2, finally came to an agreement.
Events moved rapidly enough after
this, and when at last the principal
actors in the trial had been gathered
into the court room, at a few mo
ments before 8 o’clock, Sunday morn
ing, the envelope handed by the fore
man to the judge was torn open and
the verdict read.
it caine as an electric thrill to the
prisoner, to his counsel, to the attor
neys for the stale and the small group
of newspaper reporters and court of
ficers, who had been summoned from
beds,, but lately sought, or from of
fices Where sleepless waiting had
marked the night.
Tears welled to the eyts of the man,
who, during the 80 days of his trial,
hud sat with stolen indifference writ
ten on his every feature. At last, tho
icy armor that he had thrown about
himself with the first of jury selection
had been pierced.
Haywood’s attorneys were fairly lift
ed from their seats, and Judge Wood
made no effort to restrain them, as
they surrounded him to shake his
hands and shout aloud their congratu
lations.
Senator Borah, who made the clos
ing plea for conviction, was not pres
ent.
Of the prisoner’s counsel, those in
the court room were: Clarence Car
row ol Chicago, E. F. Richardson of
Denver and John F, Nugent of Boise.
No member of the prisoners' family,
nor any of his friends among the so
cialist writers and the "labor jury”
was in the court room when the ver
diet was read.
