A day ot ar gument on the admissibility of points of evidence followed Uie announcement from the defense that tbey had no fur ther witnesaea to offer In behalf ot Wil liam D. Haywood. Tbe Jury waa not brought into court, Judge Wood having been Informed by counsel of their de ciaion to rest without offer of ur- rebutlal. Clarence Darrow apoke, for an hour and a half of the morning iee aion. Senator Borah replied in tbe afternoon and waa followed by E. F. Richardson. . Judge Wood will prob ably announce bis decision today. The point argued was the proposition to exclude from consideration by the jury the evidence offered by the de fense to show, by proof of deportation of dinners from and the employment of detectives in tbe Cripple Creek dis trict of Colorado, that a conspiracy was formed among the mine owners and the eitixens of the district to prevent Uie employments of members of Uie West ern Federation of Miners. The posi tion taken by the Haywood defense was that Harry Orchard was employed by the Mineownera' association through detectives to commit crimes which were then charged to the Federation, and public opinion aroused against the .un ion workers, and it therefore followed that, if Cc loi ado evidence tor the state wss admiUed. the defense had the right to show a counter-conspiracy. The reply of the state waa Uiat the de fense had failed legally to connect lta caae in these particulars and therefore its evidence merely conlused Uiat issue. In tbe absence of tbe Jury tbe argu ment save counsel an opportunity to take a wide range in commenting on the methods employed on both aides. Mr. Darrow was impassioned and vitu perative. He bitterly assailed Orchard and the Pinkertone. Mr. Borah confined himself largely to the legality of the question ot admis sibility. He apoke for an hour, force fully reviewing tbe evidence and alle gations made by tne defense, wnicn, he aaid, failed to show by tbe member ot Uie alleeed conspiracy between Uie mine-ownere and tbe rinkertona mat any such conspiracy existed.
