LAWYERS HAVE INNINQ.
Devote Entire Day to Arguments In
Haywood Case. .
Boise, Idaho, July 19. 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.
