THE MORNING- OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1907. LAWYERS REVIEW CASE IN DETAIL (Continued Irom nrst Pafe. tlmony and In arriving at the question of whether or not tt tends to connect Mr. Haywood with the offense, that the statements of Mr. Orchard cannot be considered In any sense whatever. The authorities do not go to that extent, and that is not the law, an,d as I said a moment ago. If the authorities are ex amined, the law laid down by the de cisions will not be found objectionable under this rule. But I desire to call your honor's attention to some few of the authorities which we have collated hurriedly. Act of One, Act of All. , "Vow, there are two ways. If your honor please, by which to prove a con spiracy, but I may say before going; to that that If we do show a conspiracy, if we show the existence of that criminal organization around the nucleus of the leading members of the Western Federation of Miners, then the act of one was the act of all, the knowledge of one was the knowledge of all. It is not necessary if we prove the existence of that conspiracy to show that the de fendant in this case was ever in Cald well. "It is not necessary to show that he was In connection with the man who actually committed the crime at the time he committed the crime. "It is only necessary to show after we have shown the existence of a con spiracy that some member of that con spiracy went to Caldwell and committed the crime, although every other member of the conspiracy might have been in Europe at that time, and if the evidence In this case tends to show the existence of that conspiracy, every particle of evi dence that tends to show the conspiracy tends also to corroborate the testimony of Harry Orchard." Simpklns Skulked Under Alias. Speaking of the presence of J. L. Simp kins In Caldwell under an assumed name, be said. "Now what was his purpose there? Here Is a man who represents a great labor organization; a man above all men who ought to travel in the open light of day and under his own name. But he goes to the home of Governor Steunen feerg not under his name as J. L. Simp klns, the chief representative of the Western Federation of Miners, but he goes as a criminal under an assumed name and hibernates with another criminal, the accomplice in this case. "Is that proven by Orchard? "It is proven entirely outside of the testimony of Mr. Orchard. "Now, who was Jack Simpklns? He was the avowed official associate of this defendant. He was the representative of the state of Idaho of this organization. What happened outside of the testimony of Mr. Orchard while they were there? Why, Mr. Jap Nicoll intercepts a letter and he keeps that letter. It comes from the home of the Western Federation of Miners, the city of Denver. "Innocence, they say, upon Its face unsigned; addressed, Harry Orchard. Iietter to Orchard as Hogan. "No, addressed to Thomas Hogan, the name of the criminal while he was in Caldwell with Jack Simpklns. Not ad dressed to the man who passed in Den ver in company with these parties by the name under which he was passing there at the time he left, but the name which he assumed when he registered at Cald well with the other man, Mr. Simmons, the chief representative; and that letter comes to Thomas Hogan unsigned. An other Intention another evidential fact that they did not propose to show their connection with Mr. Orchard except When they had to do so." In a similar manner Mr. Borah went ever the sending of money to Orchard at San Francisco; the writing of the letter to Mrs. Orchard by Haywood; the send ing of the Hogan recommendations to Insurance Agent Stearns; the trip by Or chard to Canon City with Vaughn, and some other- matters proved independently of Orchard, and all confirming the state's View of the conspiracy. WOOD REFUSES TO DISMISS Judge Denies Motion of Defense to Drop Haywood" Prosecution. BOISE. June 21. The state today closed Its case against William D. Haywood, charged with thei murder of Frank Steunenberg. The defense made an unsuccessful attempt to secure from the court an order directing the jury to acquit the prisoner. Judge Woods' ruling, which requires the defense to meet with evidence the case that the Btate has presented, was made at 5:15 o'clock, and it was then arranged that Haywood's counsel should make their opening statement and present their first testimony on Monday next. When the trial opened this morning It was stipulated that the record should how that the date of the draft sent by Haywood to Jack Simpklns late in 1805 was December 21, and after that the prosecution proceeded to show by h hundwritlng expert that George Pettibone,' using the names of "J. Wolff and "P. Bone," mude two re mittances of money to Harry Orchard at San Francisco through the Postal Telegraph Company in the Fall of 19.14. The state next called Jim Seehern, a colored horsetrainer, who swore that he sold a horse and buggy to Orchard In Denver. In 1905, and identi fied Haywood as one of the men who rode with Orchard. After that the defense admitted that In June. 103, Haywood sent J75 to Steve Adams at Ogden. and when the necessary showing had been made on the record the prosecution formally rested. The motion for an instruction to the jury to acquit was by agreement pre sented at tha afternoon session, and the jury was sent bark to the jury house out of hearing of the argument. Richardson Cites Idaho Statutes. Attorney E. F. Richardson made the principal argument in support of the motion in a long, carefully prepared and eloquent speech. He took for his guide the Idaho statute which forbids conviction upon the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice, quot ing many authorities In support of his contention that there must be con vincing corroboration entirely Inde pendent of the testimony of the ac complice, and made an analysis of all the testimony offered. He declared that none of the testimony could stand without the Bupport of Orchard's story, and that the statute specifically forbade its acceptance under those cir cumstances. He also argued that the testimony of Orchard was the only showing that in any way connected Haywood with the crime, and that the statute forbade conviction under those circumstances. Senator Borah, who alone spoke for the state, argued with like force and eloquence that Haywood's connection had been independently shown and that Orchard's testimony had been corrobo rated by independent circumstances and evidence. He also submitted a general argument to show that the state had established the existence of a general conspiracy in which Hay wood was a participant, and in which he strongly developed the alleged con nection of Pettibone and Simpklns. Clarence. Darrow, who closed, plead ed that there was not a shred of evi dence in the case capable of standing without "the rotten thread of Orch ard's story" to sustain It, and that the plain provision of the Idaho statute made the duty of the court clear. He ridiculed the Idea of a general con spiracy, and contended that if the most liberal allowance were made for the entire showing of the state, it would not make out a case against the pris oner worthy of submission to the jury. . Immediately after court was called to order after the recess, B. F. Richardson, for the defense., announced that he had filed a motion with the clerk of the court. Judge Wood dismissed the jury, in charge of the bailiffs, pending the reading of the motion and the argument. The text of the motion is as follows: Now, on the 21st day of June. A. J. 190T, comes the above-named defendant, W. D. Haywood, by hla attorneys, and moves tha court to advise the Jury In the above en titled case to acquit the defendant, W. r. Haywood, In accordance with section 7857 of the revised statutes of the State of Idaho, for the following reasons, and each and every one of them, to wit: First Because the only testimony which tends to connect the defendant, W. D. Hay-wot-d, with the homicide charged in the in dictment herein is that of Harry Orchard, who testified that he was an accomplice in the commission of said offense. Second Because the testimony of the al leged accomplice in this case is uncorrob orated by any other evidence which, in it self and without the aid of testimony of the accomplice, tends to connect the defendant with the commission of the offense charged. Third Because the corroboration of the accomplice witness in this case is not suf ficient, since it fails to show the commission of the offense or the circumstances thereof In any way which either connects or tends to connect this defendant therewith. Fourth Because the testimony in this case is wholly insufficient to warrant the rendition of a verdict, or the pronouncement of sentence thereof, under section 7871 of the revised statutes of the State of Idaho. Fifth Because the evidence received In the case is collateral. Irrelevant and insuf ficient upon which to found a verdict or to sustain one If found. Sixth Because the evidence wholly fails to disclose that the defendant is In any wise connected with or had knowledge of the perpetration of the offense charred In the indictment. Seventh Because, while it is charged in the indictment that this defendant was per sonally present and did commit the crime therein charged upon the body of one Frank Steunenberg on or about the 30th day of December, 1903, nevertheless, the evidence falls to disclose that he was present, or that he was either an aider, abettor or procurer or adviser of anyone connected with, or who committed the alleged offense which com passed the death of said Frank Steunenberg, In this, to wit: That the evidence which tends to connect the defendant on trial therewith is given solely and wholly by one Harry Orchard, who admits that ha himself Is guilty of the perpetration thereof, and without the aid of testimony of said Harry Orchard, the self-confessed perpetrator of the said offense, there is no testimony or evidence which in any wise tends to .con nect the defendant with the commission of the said offense, and the said testimony and evidence of the said Harry Orchard is wholly uncorroborated, within the .meaning and intent of section 7871 of the revised statutes of the State of Idaho. Wherefore, the defendant, W. D. Hay wood, asks the court to advise the Jury to return a verdict in favor of the defendant. (Signed) E. F. RICHARDSON, JOHN F. NUGENT, PETER BREEN, FRED MILLER, EDWARD WILSON, Attorneys for the defendant, William D. Haywood. Klchardson Picks Out Flaws. Mr. Richardson opened by reading from the statute of the State of Idaho, which says that a conviction cannot he had on the testimony of an accomplice unless it is corroborated by other evidence which by itself and without the aid of testi mony of the accomplice tends to connect the defendant with the commission of the crime. He read at length from au thorities and opinions bearing upon this point and upon the uncorroborated .testi mony of an accomplice or co-conspirator, laying stress upon the view that the corroboration must connect the defendant with the actual commission of the of fense. Richardson took the testimony of Miss Cora Feabody as an instance of the failure on the part of the state to In troduce evidence which independently of the evidence of the accomplice was suf ficient to permit of an inference that the defendant was connected with the offense charged. He drew attention to the fact that Miss Peabody merely testified that she had seen two men near her carriage on a certain night. Orchard had said he was there, but there was, said Mr. Richard son, absolutely no Independent corrobor ation. The two statements taken to gether might create an lnrerence, but Miss Peabody's evidence was worthless without Orchard's testimony. Richardson mentioned other testimony for the state, as having utterly failed to connect Haywood with the commission of the crime. He maintained and quoted many authorities to support the conten tion that the court was authorized and under certain conditions obliged to in struct the Jury to dismiss when the tes timony of an accomplice was not suffi ciently corroborated. "If the testimony of a witness is a3 consistent with the innocence of this defendant," said Mr. Richardson, with marked impressive emphasis. "If It is as consistent with his Innocence as It is consistent with his guilt, it will be your honor's duty no matter how un pleasant It may beto instruct the jury that the evidence is of no value. The evidence produced here does not, stand ing by -itself, corroborate the testimony of the accomplice Orchard, or connect him with the murder of Steunenberg." Richardson said he would pass to the discussion of the nature and effect of the testimony. He said lie would pass over the Caldwell witnesses, and named all those who had been called to prove the presence of Orchard and Simpklns In Caldwell and the murder of Steunenberg. None of those witnesses had in any way connected Haywood with the murder of Steunenberg. Taking up the San Francisco witnesses, he went over the testimony of each wit ness, from Mrs. Swan to the servant in the Bradley house, to the dairyman who sold the milk and the chemist who found poison in it, and at the end of each rul ing of the evidence Richardson said: Nothing to Convict Him. 'There may appear- some repetition In my statements to your honor, but I will repeat because I desire to impress upon your honor s mind, beyond a shadow of doubt, that in all this mass of matter there is no basis for the statement that this evidence connects Haywood with the murder of Steunenberg. "We have the testimony of the post master of San Francisco, who testified to a registered -letter having been re ceived. Witnesses come here to show that Orchard, under the name of Green, received a package and telegram from one "J. Wolff." But I maintained that beyond one uncorroborated testimony of Orchard there is not one scintilla of evi dence to connect Haywood with the mur der of Steunenberg, and even if it were proven that Haywood, over his own 'sig nature or In a signed letter, had sent Orchard money there is no direct evi dence to show that Haywood had any thing to do with the murder or with the conspiracy, which It is alleged, was world-wide, and which gave to Orchard a commission to go out and murder any one Haywood wanted killed." Quickly passing throug the Vindicator mine and Colorado incidents, Mr. Rich ardson named the witnesses, and in each case Impressively insisted that Haywood had not been called by the testimony un less Orchard's story was used to bolster It up. Taking up the drafts issued by Haywood In favor of Jack Simpklns, Mr. Richard son said these were innocent transac tions. He dwelt at some length on the draft dated December 21, 1905, In favor of Simpklns. "This, too, was an innocent transaction and only Orchard proved any connection. Tou are obliged to leave Orchard out." Richardson changing his manner, raised his voice. Orchard's Words Unsupported. "I would say to your honor, he shout ed, "that if Haywood were guilty of the blowing up of the Vindicator mine, which he is not; if Haywood were guilty of the conspiracy on the life of Peabody, which he is not; if he killed Wally, which he did not; if he planned to kill Bradley, which he did not; .even if all the things were true, which they are not, all this would be insufficient to connect him of a crime on the body of Steunenberg. These were all crimes committed in states other than the state of Idaho and this man Haywood stands charged only with a crime committed within the bor ders of the state of Idaho. "We come, therefore, to the proposition by whom does this man stand con nected with the murder of Steunenberg', except by the mouth of the man who sat in that witness chair and whose unsup ported word is not worthy of belief by any living person." Here for the first time Richardson reached the point of declamation. He turned to the witness chair and shook his clenched hand at the place where Or chard sat for nearly a week under his cross-examination. When he referred to Orchard he hissed the word and turned from the chair with a gesture expressive of the utmost contempt. "Governor Peabody came here. He has been interviewed everywhere in this country and through many states and has announced the things he would testi fy to when he got here. When he gets here what does he do. He tells us mat after giving np office, he went to his home in Canon City and commenced to remodel his house and that some one pointed out to him a man as Thomas Hogan. That's all." Begs Judge to Dismiss Case. MY. Richardson concluded: "If this were an ordinary case, I be lieve no court would be slow to act along the line of the motion we have filed here. But your honor is only human, as all of us are human. I ask your honor to sepa rate the Judge from the humanity that controls us all. Here is the flattest case ever presented to a court of law, if we leave the testimony of Orchard, the crimi nal whose testimony shows him to be the greatest criminal in all the ages before. Here Is a case that has fallen flat with out Orchard and all the testimony falls to the ground without the aid of this foul fiend of murdering crime, and this is all the Plnkertons can produce to us of more than a year of work. "I ask your honor to instruct the jury to sign up a verdict acquitting this de fendant." Senator Borah, who in behalf of the prosecution opposed the motion, began by congratulating Mr. Richardson on what he called his eloquent and moving ad dress. He then expressed the belief that the prisoner would receive a fair trial in Boise. Taking up the principles of law governing the testimony of accomplices, he argued that the authorities did not go as far as the defense contended in dis crediting accomplices. He contended that it was not necessary corroborative evi dence should completely sustain the charge. He said that the state alleged that there existed a general conspiracy, in which the leaders of the Western Fede ration of Miners were the principals. The testimony of Orchard could be entirely left out of consideration and it would be found that the state had shown the exist ence of the conspiracy. He contended that having established the existence of the conspiracy and that one participant in the conspiracy had gone to Caldwell, it was not necessary to show that Haywood was at Caldwell. Darrow Picturesque Figure. Now vigorously denouncing Orchard in scathing words, now turning to counsel for the state, sneering and sarcastic, and again discussing the legal aspect of the case, Clarence Darrow, for the defense, was the picturesque figure of the after noon's arguments. . "The state has promised to connect to connect to connect," he cried, and turned to Borah and sneered, "Connect with what?" The rotten threat of the testimony of Orchard, the traitor, the assassin, the Informer and the murderer." In conclusion he appealed to the court to withdraw the case from the jury and dismiss the case. Judge Wood immediately announced his decision refusing the motion. "The court is thoroughly satisfied that this case should be submitted to the Jury, If I felt differently I would not hesitate to so rule." The court then explained that he would not review the evidence in a written opin ion, because there were two more de fendants to be tried later. Court then adjourned until 10 o'clock" Monday morning. WITNESS POINTS AT HAYWOOD Negro Tells of Sale of Horse and Buggy to the Defendant. BOISE, Idaho, June 21. The state this morning made its last tender of evidence against William D. Haywood, on trial for the alleged murder of Frank Steunenberg, and the lead Is now with the defense. Two important pieces of testimony were offered this morning. Charles S. Klngsley, a handwriting expert, testi fied that the writing of the waivers on the money telegrams sent from Petti bone's store in Denver in the names of "J. Wolff and "P. Bone" to "H. Green" In San Francisco was done by the same hand that penned Pettlbone's let ter to John Li. Stearns. A stipulation by the defense, admit ting the fact that Haywood tele graphed money to Steve Adams at Og den In 1903, and a ruling by the court denying admission to the dissenting opinion in the Moyer habeas corpus case In Colorado, cleared the direct work of the prosecution and opened the way to the plea and case of the defense. When the trial was resumed at 9:30 this morning not more than 100 people oc cupied seats outside the bar, and of these at least 40 were witnesses. Haywood's mother sat on his immediate right, and she, with the prisoner's sister, were the only members of his family present. Judge Wood first delivered a lengthy opinion overruling a demurrer In one of the cases, before the regular term of court. On being directed to proceed Senator Borah announced that the state had re ceived telegraphic Information from the First National Bank in Denver, filling in the date on one of the drafts which had been introduced as evidence and on which the date had been punched out by the file in the bank. This draft was for jaoo and the bank wires that it bears the date of December 21. 1905. It was drawn in favor of J. I. Simp kins by Haywood. The letter pro duced in court from Pettibone to Ho gan, or Orchard, received by Orchard while in jail at Caldwell, stated that "that" had been sent to "Jack." Or chard said that he had asked for $100. The defense admitted prima facie that the date was December 21, and the date was recorded as evidence. Says Handwriting Is the Same. ' W". V. McCartney, the former clerk la the telegraph office at Denver, tes tified that he did not write the waiver of identity on the back of the tele graphio money orders sent from Den ver to Orchard when on the Bradley mission in San Francisco. C. S. Klngsley, an attorney of Boise, was called. He qualified as an expert in handwriting. He was asked to com pare Pettlbone's signature on the letter replying to the insurance agent In Denver, who asked as to the character of Or chard, with the signatures of Wolff, and "P. Bone," on the back of the telegraphic money-orders. Klngsley said that In his opinion the signatures were written by one and the same person. He was not cross-examined. Jim Seahorn. a colored horsedealer of Denver, the next witness, testified to the sale of a horse and buggy to Haywood in Denxer. Orchard had testified as to the sale of the team to Haywood. He said that the outfit was needed to get about while In their work in connection with the various undertakings. Seahorn said that Orchard came to him, and with him he drove to Pettlbone's place of business. Pettibone came out, and together they drove to the place he described as the location of the head quarters of the Western Federation of Miners. "What happened then?" asked Mr. Hawley. "Orchard went upstairs and came down with another man." "Yes, what next?" "The other man got in the buggy and they said they would be back soon, and drove off together." "Do you know this other man?" "Yes. sir, I have seen him." : "Would you know him now?" "Yes, sir." "Look around and say if you can see him." "Yes, Sir; That's the Man." The negro looked over to the defense side and pointed to Haywood. "Yes, sir; that's the man," he said. There was a pause and a silence broken only by a stir among the spec tators. It was the first direct connection of Haywood with Orchard and a strong corroboration of the Orchard story. "How much did you get for the out fit?" "One hundred and ten dollars." "Who paid you?" "Mr. Orchard." ' "You just got the money and gave Orchard a bill of sale?" "No, sir; the bill of sale was made to Mr. Pettibone." He described the horse as a little black mare and the vehicle as a top buggy. Seahorn was only briefly cross-examined. He said he met Orchard at the Penitentiary after coming to Boise. He said he was summoned by Plnkerton de tectives and received his fare and ex penses from them In advance. Seahorn' proved to be the last witness for the state. BRADLEY FOR THE DEFENSE Makes Deposition Tending to Show Falsity of Orchard's Story. SAN FRANCISCO, June 21. Attor ney Samuel M. Shortrldge, of this city. Is engaged today in taking the deposi tion of F. W. Bradley, the former su perintendent of the Bunker . Hill and Sullivan mines, who, it is alleged, was run out of the Coeur d'AIenes by mem bers of the Western Federation of Miners during the labor troubles of several years ago. Mr. Bradley was an occupant of a flat In this city when Harry Orchard made the alleged at tempt to blow him up with a bomb. Mr. Bradley's deposition will be used by the defense in the Haywood trial at Boise. Mr. Bradley's version of the explo sion Is that it was caused by gas. Under direct examination by Mr. Shortrldge, he testified today that his cigar apparently ignited a quantity of escaping Illuminating gas as he de scended to the front hall from his apartment on the third floor. The explosion was of such force that it wrecked the front part of the house. Mr. Bradley was hurled into the street and badly injured. The cross-examination of Mr. Bradley was conducted by Attorney Van Duyn, for the State of Idaho. DOCTORS MEET AT SEASIDE Annual Convention of State Medical Association July 12 and 13. .

At first sight, perhaps, one would hardly be Inclined to associate resi dence in Egypt with the practice of any form of sport dear to the. heart of tho average Briton. The Land of Pharaohs is so proverbially dry and sandy that few people who have not visited it would dream of finding any thing there worth powder and shot But Egypt, like many other parts of the empire. Is a maligned country, and as a matter of fact Its borders con tain plenty of game for those who know where to look for it. There is even hunting, of a sort to be had In certain districts, but any one who ex pects to find a hard 40 minutes' run, with a kill at the end in Leicestershire style, had better stop at home, for he will not find anything of the sort be tween Alexandria and Khartoum. Still, If Reynard Is conspicuous by his absence, there are plenty of wolves, hyenas. Jackals and wild boars to act as substitutes. Than, the fertile Delta district swarms with quail and snipe, while only a few miles to the south of the Pyramids of Ghizeh, the ardent Nimrod will encounter all the duck, partridge and sand grouse he is likely to bring down in a day's march. The low-lying shores of Lake BIrket Karum, not far from Cairo, are also a region where birds are to be found in abundance at certain seasons of the year. Disciples of Izaak Walton, too, can test their prowess (and patience) with rod and line, either in the brack ish waters of Lake Menzaleh, where it Joins the Suez Canal, or there Is the Nile Itself ready waiting for them. Here, at any rate, there is always the added excitement of the possibility of hooking a crocodile with rare sport. Filipino Voters Registering. MANILA, June 21.
