H A W LE Y FIN IS H ES A R G U M E N T . Our A Return« of the Let« Important but Not Lett Interesting Events of the Past Week. Boise, July 22.—James 11. Hawley, leading counsel for the state of Idaho, presenting the first of the arguments to the jury in the case against William D. Haywood, spoke for nearly eight hours, distributed over three sessions of court. Even when the forenoon sossion Satur day had extended far beyond the cus tomary time limit, every seat in the courtroom was occupied and remained so until the last word was spoken. None listened more attentively to the argument thuu Haywood, the defend ant, and none showed less emotion. From time to time be took copious notes in a small book and frequently made suggestions to one or other of bis counsel, seven of whom were in court today. Throughout the day Mr. Hawley used an almost conversational tone. The analysis of testimony in contradiction of Orchard’s story conclude«! frequently with the denunciation of witness after witness as a wilful perjurer or guilty of unintentional falsehood. When he bad spoken five and a half hours, Mr. Hawley reached Caldwell, where at the close of the year 19J5 the prejiaratlons for the murder of Steunenberg were afoot. His voice now found a sympa thetic note and, as he told of the last moments of the ex-governor the court room was hushed and the jury leaned forward to catch the speaker’s every word. Mr. Hawley's peroration was impres sive. There was no attempt at any flight of oratory, but only u strong note of deep sincerity and great ear nestness wheu he pleaded for an iionest judgment from honest men of Idaho. Mr. Hawley said he did not charge that a majority or even that many of the Western Federation of Miners were criminals, but that tire evil deeds of the officers and of the scum of the or ganization had brought discredit on the rank and file. The time had in deed come, he said, when right think ing men should rise and make war upon the evil influences that were the curse of all labor organizations. On the adjournment of court until Monday morning, Mr. Hawley was showered with congratulations. COLUMBIA SINKS WITH PASSENGERS Reports Say One hundred Went Down With Vessel. Rammed by Steamer San Pedro Off Shelter Cove, California— Collis ion Came at Midnight Without Warning— Vessel Sank Five Min utes Atter Struck. W O R S T O F CRIM INALS. Prosecution Declares Orchard's Stor Fully Provan. Boise, Idaho, July 20.—The Held for argument both for the prnaecutiou and defense of William D. Haywood has tieeii limited by Judge Wood, who in u decision handed down yesterday remov ed from consideration by the jury all evidence tearing on the alleged conspir acy by mineowners and others against the Western Federation of Miner«. Judge Wtaal decided that the defense of Haywood had made no legal connection of tire Mineowners’ association, the Citizens’ alliance, of Colorado, nnd the Pinkerton agency with the crimes as laying a foundation for the evidence in troduced by the defense to show that the charge ugainst Haywood and Ids co- defendants is the outcome of a conspir acy to exterminate the Federation. Immediately following the announce ment of this decision, argument com menced. J. H. Hawley, leading coun sel for the state, spoke for two hours and 15 minute*« of tire afternoon session, the morning aeealen having been ad journed to enable the judge to prepare hia decision. Counsel for the defense repeatedly interrupted Mr. Hawley with protests and objections, hut tiiese only seemed to stir him to greater efforts. Mr Hawley concluded with the state ment that already lie had shown enough to convict and that any juryman not willing to convict on the evidence con necting the conspirators with the blow ing up of the Bunker Hill A Sullivan concentrator in 1899 and the explosion iaat the Vindicator mine in 1903 alone "sought only to rid himself of an un- pleaeant duty to his state." Mr. ilaw uy will continue his argu ment today. Judge Wood lias notified counsel for the defense that he expects argument for their side to commence on Monday. CONVICT GLASS BY FLANK ATTACK Heney Forced to Change Tactics In Bribery Prosecution. 8llsncs of Vies President Zimmer Csusss an Effort to Prove That Other Supervisor* Then Boxtorr Received Money From Pacific States Telephone Company. • San Francisco, July 18.—The triul of Lou la Glass for bribery reached u cru cial stage yesterday, when the prosecu tion made its first attempt to begin the introduction of the testimony of 10 or more supervisor« other than Buxton that their vote« were bought by Theo dore V. Halsey, aiding under direction of Vice President Glass, of the Pueiflo State« Telephone A Telegraph company. Such testimony is celled "evidence of similar offense«’’ and it is often admit ted in criminal trials for the par pram of showing corrupt intent on the part of a defendant in tiie commission of tiie act for which he i« l»eing tried. Glass at tiie present time is being tried for tiie bribery of Buxton; the prosecution contends that it has the right to lay before the jury the inference of his guilt contained in the proof of his having iirilssl other su|iervisors, like Boston, against the granting of n rival franchise to the Home Telephone company. The defense denies this right, mainly on the ground tluit the «tate is not privileged to prove other crime« in an effort to establish the crime on trial. The argument of this point, conceded to be of even more than iu original im portance, slooe ttie defection of Second Vice President Zimmer from the rank» of the prosecutor'* witn«t<ses, occupied the last two hours of the afternoon M i s sion and was in progres« ut adjourn ment. The jury was excused at the commencement of the argument and was taken by l«iliffs to a point near the Temple Israel, later to lie returned to it« quarters at the Fsitmounl hotel.
