TIIE MORXIXG OREG0XIAX, THURSDAY, JULY So, 1907. DARRQW OS SCORCH GWQRDS Heaps Curses on Rich and Constitution. CALLS ORCHARD VILE THING If Orchard Has Religion, He Wants None of It. ATTEMPT TO KILL UNIONS Haywood's Lawyer Occupied Day With Torrent of Invective Against Orchard, Hawley, Steunen berg and the Mineowners. BOISB, Idaho, July 24. The career of Frank Steunenberg, the murdered ex-Governor of Idaho, wu discussed at some length by Clarence Darrow this evening In the course of his plea In behalf of William D. Haywood. Justifying the ar ticles published In the Miners' Magazine, .the official organ of the Western Federa tion of Miners, the Chicago lawyer said the action of Steunenberg in asking for United States troops to quell riot and the establishment of martial law In 1899 was unjustifiable and had properly stirred up Immense feeling in labor circles against the Governor Mr. Darrow's argument, unfinished to night, developed into an appeal for labor as against capital, and a denunciation of all opposed to the unions. He held an audience startled and open-mouthed as one after another the sentiments poured from his lips: His attack on Orchard was expected, and in this respect he fulfilled and surpassed the limit of sensation. Three hours were given to Orchard, and !t was only when vituperation, physical force and words were spent that Mr. Dar row turned to James H. Hawley. the lead ing counsel for the state, and the Pinker ton detectives for something on which to pour the lesser volume of abuse. Curse the Constitution. The State of Idaho came In for a large share of Mr. Darrow's denunciation for the part It has played in the prosecution. Culture, education and wealth each in turn were described as constituting a combination against which the working men, the uneducated and the poor must ever be opposed. Mr. Darrow sneered at the universities as purveyors of culture. "And what is a cultured man," he cried, "but a cruel tyrant always?" Reaching the climax of his denunciation in sympathy for the working class and hatred for the rich, he assailed the Con stitution of the country, and cried: "The Constitution! The Constitution! It is here only to destroy the laws made for the benefit of the poor." 0 Virtues of Labor Unions. Mr. Darrow's defense of labor unions and of union men was passionate and his eulogy of the Western Federation elo quent. Lovingly he touched on the beauty of self-sacrifice found in the "struggle for humanity where only the workingman is found," and then, with the bitterest sar casm, his voice pitched to Its highest note and arms upraised, he heaped abuse upon the selfish rich and upon the adminis tration of the State of Idaho. Appeal Against Prejudice. in opening Mr. Darrow' impressed the Importance of the ease upon the 12 men In the box and declared the defend ant is In Idaho as an alien, brought 1500 miles from home Into a community and before a Jury which does not view life or Industry as the men accused ,of the mur der of ex-Governor Steunenberg have been taught to look at it. "You men for more than' a year past have had your minds poisoned by lies In the local newspapers, and now that you have sat here for more than two months and have heard the testimony you know you have been fed upon poison and lies. I-ay aside as much as you can of this poisonous stuff; try to get your minds free and be guided only, by the evidence. "The prosecution In this case knows it cannot convict on the exact evidence, but It relies upon the strained, forced circum stances to get .a verdict from you. This defendant was taken by force from his home, brought 1500 miles and set down before a hostile Jury to be tried for his life. Wants Xo Compromise Verdict. "Imagine yourselves, men, taken from your farms and set down before a Jury In Chicago to be tried for your lives and then you can in some way feel as this man does in this case. I believe that un der the circumstances you will hesitate to act on the rotten testimony given in this case to take away the life of a fellow citizen. "But some of you will say perhaps that, while there i not enough to warrant rending a man to death, there is perhaps enough evidence as to crimes having been committed in the Western country to voto to put 'Bill' Haywood In jail to compromise on & verdict for manslaugh ter or murder In the second degree. Tou have that right, gentlemen of the Jury, but I want to say that whatever else you sre I do not believe you are cowards. And I want to say that whatever else "Bill' Haywood may be, he Is not a coward. I would not thank this Jury if it returned a verdict of assault and bat tery and assessed a fine of J5 against this defendant. "This murder was cold-blooded, deliber ate and cowardly In the extreme If this man silting in his office in Denver, 1500 milts away, employed an assassin to do this cowardly act. then you ought to hang him by the neck until he is dead. For God's .sake, men,- do not compromise. If you believe the story that has been told against this man beyond all reasonable doubt, then take him and hang him. He has fought many a fight against the per secutors who are hounding him into this court. He has fought them on the open battlefield and he is not a coward. If he hag to die. he will die as he lived, with his face to the foe. "Bill" Haywood Is either innocent or guilty. If he be guilty, I have nothing to say. But, men, this case is a case of Orchard from beginning to end. There Is nothing at all left in the evidence without hit." Blttr Attack on Hawley. Mr. Darrow here launched into lengthy, bitter, vituperative denunciation of James H. Hawley, the ' lead ing counsel for the state. He assailed him as a hired man. actuated by no other motive than to get the money -of the State of Idaho that he might build an other addition to his house: he denounced him as "bughouse." and said that he had been a friend of labor organizations as ha proclaimed only when they got their casn to his office first. "It Is too bad the old man could not have ended his career before he took this case and told the fool things he has told this Jury. What was there in Mr. .Haw ley's argument but Orchard? According to his theory, everybody lies, but that scoundcel may be believed. Mr. Hawley has got 'Orchardltls.' or 'Orcharditch' would be a better term." , Mr. Darrow dismissed Senator Borah, associate counsel for the state, with a few words. "I don't mean to insinuate," he de clared, "that Senator Borah is more honest than Mr. Hawley, but I do believe he is slicker." Mr. Darrow said he did not believe Senator Borah was as overcome with the truthfulness of Orchard's story as was Mr. Hawley. ; "In fact," he went on, "I am inclined to think that, if Senator Borah believed Harry Orchard was going to heaven he'd want to go the other way." The attorney told the Jurors that if their verdict showed they believed Harry Orchard, they would be ashamed to go home and face their wives, their sons and their daughters. Orchard's Story Discredited. Turning to the discovery of whether "the butcher had a motive for butch ering Steunenberg," Mr. Darrow said there were many witnesses who showed Orchard was trying to sell his interest In the Hercules mine up to the time he was driven, from the Coeur d'Alenes. There were others who went uncon tradicted and unimpeached, testifying as to the threats they had heard Or chard make against Governor Steunen berg. "Mr. Hawley would have you believe that Orchard cannot lie since he got relig ion. I shall have something to say as to that religion later on, but what I want to say now is that if Mr. Hawley hasn't got religion now he had better go and get It, If there was any left after Orchard got his." Mr. Darrow warned the Jurors that if they convicted a fellow being upon the word of an assassin like Orchard a man caught with his hands dripping in the blood of his victims they would place a stain on the state of their nativity and of their adopted dwelling place. "It is better." he exclaimed, "that you should let a thousand guilty men escape, better that you should let all the crim inals ever brought to the State of Idaho go free, than to have it said you took away the life of a man on such testimony as has been given to this court." Xo TrtUh Left-in Him. Mr. Darrow declared that Orchard had been so contradicted by witnesses that there was no truth left In his story. "Why," he said, "if George Washing ton, with all his great reputation for veracity, had come here as a witness and had been contradicted as Orchard has been, the Father of His Country would have gone out of this courtroom disgraced and accounted the greatest Ananias of the age. But if you men feel you can convict 'BUI' Haywood on Orchard's testimony, why, go ahead and do it. I have sat here with you men for txvo or three months, and I have tried to read you. I have lain aw'ake at night thinking of you. There may be some hideous plan deep down In your souls I cannot see them but somehow or another I have never felt there was any danger of you believ ing that perjured monster. But If you do bfclleve him. If I am so mistaken a that, if you must have the life of this' man on such testimony as that, why, gentlemen of the Jury, we will furnicn you the victim with a glad and cheerful heart." "Sneaking, Craven Coward." Reviewing the crimes confessed by Orchard, Mr. Darrow said that each one of them showed the man to be a sneaking, craven coward who had never taken a chance that would endanger his miser able hide. It was logical to believe, he argued, that Orchard now had turned to lying to save his neck. He said he had been promised no Immunity whatever, but neither Governor Gooding nor Detective McParland had taken the stand to corro borate him. Said Mr. Darrow: "Is he to get anything, has he' got any thing for delivering these three enemies of the Mineowners Association into the lion's den? He looks fat and sleek and healthy and In no danger of sudden death. If he hadn't put the blame of "is crimes on Mover. Haywood and Pettlbone. the grass would bo growing over his grave these 12 months gone. ' But he must be saved till 'Bill' Haywood and Mover and Pettlbone have been sent to the gallows and theii bodies eaten up by quicklime. Then there are 40.000 members of the Western Federation of Miners 40.000 criminals yet to be dealt with to save Orchard for. So long as there is a neck to hang, why should we kill Orchard? Jack Simpkins is yet to be caught, yet. to be hanged, and Orchard must not be done away with till Jack is dealt with. Orchard's Professed Religion. Mr. Darrow next turned his attention to "those sickly, slobbering idiots who talk about Orchard's religion and regenera tion,'' and declared that before Dean Hlnks, his religious adviser, had persuad ed him to lay hi sins on Jesus, "Father" McParland, the detective, had persuaded him to lay his crimes on Haywood, Moyer and Pettlbone. "It was a slick game of 'shifty Harry,! this religion dodge, and a part with his past life. But you might have had more faith In this man if he had not confessed to McParland to save, his life before he confessed to Dean Hinks to save his soul." As to religion, Mr. Darrow said he ald not profess to know much about It. He had endeavored to solve the infinite mys tery, but he found he could only bow his head In the presence of It and say, "I do not know." For those who believed in a God who numbered the hairs of the head and noted the sparrows fall, the attorney declared he had the most profound re pect. Religion Made Him Depraved. "But, if Orchard Jias religion, men of this Jury, I say to you that I never want It. Before he made his confession Harry Orchard was bad enough, but It remained for religion, and I am carefully weighing my words, to make him totally depraved. Before he got religion there was soma spark of humanity, some spark of man hood left in the creature, hut, since his conversion there seems to be none. What show of remorse, of pity, of regret did this man make as he appeared before you to tell his awful story?" Mr. Darrow declared that once be fore In his life Orchard had been con verted had become superintendent of a Sunday school and he could not say that the second dose would be any better than- the first. During his years of crime Orchard had protected the name of his family from Infamy and disgrace. It was the one spark of goodness in his criminal breast. tDther criminals had shot through the trap door to dangle at tire end of a rope, but they kept locked within them the secret of their family name to protect those whom they left behind. It remained for Orchard, after his conversion to reveal to the world his name, to send back' to the Horsley family, in Ontario, stories of his wild career, so that people driving by the graves of two old Quaker parents might point to them and say, "There lie the father and mother of the greatest monster of modern times." The attorney also told of the disgrace which this act had brought upon the deserted wife and the daughter back in Canada. "No man," said Darrow, "I might say no sane man," declared the attorney, "can ever think of Harry Orchard with anything but loathing." Cannot Kill Federation. In a burst of oratory, Mr. Darrow said: - "You men of the prosecution, you men of the Mineowners' Association, you men who are seeking the life of Haywood not because he is Haywood, but because he represents a class, don't be so shortsighted, so foolish, as to believe that you will strangle the Western Federation of Miners when you tie a rope around 'Bill' Haywood's neck; don't b so blind as to believe that when you make three fresh new graves here in Idaho you have killed the labor movement in this world. When "Bill" Haywood is gone millions of other willing hands will carry on his work to- victory in the end." When Mr. Darrow continued his plea in defense of Haywood at the evening ses sion of- court, he resumed his arraign ment of Orchard and McParland. The attorney begged the pardon of the jury or dwelling so long upon the character of Orchard, but he said it was' necessary in order to point out just what sort of man it was who was condemning Moyer. Haywood and Pettlbone, so that the Jury might determine whether it would be safe even to whip a dog on such testi mony as he gave, much less to hang a human being. Mr. Darrow described Mc Parland as a lying, deceitful scoundrel the very life of a detective, he declared was a living lie. He said: "This man who has spent his life in hounding down his fellowman suddenly turns evangelist and would have you be lieve that Orchard is miraculously trans formed into a new man. Orchard tells you how he talked to him about King David, St. Paul and 'Kelly, the bum.' McParland quoted the Scriptures In one breath and lied In the next." Steunenberg's Act Denounced. Passing finally from his tirade upon Orchard and Mr. McParland, Mr. Darrow began to discuss some of the evidence in the case, taking up the troubles in the Coeur d'Alene district of Idaho in 1899, when he declared that Governor Steunen berg sowed the seeds of more strife and struggle than was 'ever sown by the Gov ernor of any other state down to the present time. He said: There was no Justification Tor it. When such a course Is taken by a chief executive of a state, it Is high time that all gorern ment should be submerged and the only law be the law of might. There Is no man living who . can defend It. Doubtless Governor Steunenberg- felt that what he d!4 wu the only thing he could do. I am not here to discuss him or his motives, but I know that both inside and outside of labor unions, in all walks of life, there were those who denounced and always will denounce the acta of Steun enberg so long as we pretend to have a gov ernment of law in these United States. Defending the articles 'printed In the Miners' Magazine denouncing Steunen berg, Mr. Darrow said they were written by Ed Boyce, the first president of the Western Federation of Miners a gradu ate of the smelterB and not of the college, but an honest man with all that, and a man who had a right to express his hon est views of the unwarranted herding of men in a bull pen, "surrounded by lice, Pinkerton detectives and o'ther vermin.'" Contrast of Rich and Poor. With flaming words, the attorney pic tured to the Jury the difference between the owners of the mines and smelters who rolled up their wealth and bought .their way into the United States Senate In the blood of the men who worked for them, and the miners and smeltermen who, when their days of usefulness through age, injury or disability were over, were thrown out on the scrap heap ,to perish and die. He exclaimed: "I would -that more honest smeltermen like Boyce, that more honest blacksmiths with all their crude command of language were writing for the newspapers today and that more newspapermen of the time were working as blacksmiths." Mr. Darrow denounced the state's attorneys for allowing William Dewey, who testified for the prosecution that he took part in the mob's attack upon the Bunker Hill & Sullivan mill, to re turn to Colorado 'unhindered after con fessing to murder on the witness stand. He said, turning to the oppos ing counsel: ' Lets Idaho Hold the Bag. Were you asleep, or was your witness lying? Were you negligent of your duties or were you trying to deceive this Jury? Are you honestly In this prosecution or is there here some damnable conspiracy to pick up the president and secretary-treasurer of the West ern Federation of Miners and hang them by the neck for the pleasure and benefit of the Mineowners' Association ? There, gentlemen of the jury, you have the real, strong .iron hand behind this prosecution. The mineowners of Colorado are pulling the wires to make you dance like puppets. They gathered these officers of the Western Federation of Miners up and sent them there to be tried and. hanged, with Idaho to hold the bag. Idaho has a line privilege In this trial to pay for it. And you men of this jury will have the pleas ure of working to pay up the deficiency war rants which have been issued by the state to meet the expenses of the prosecution. Back of this prosecution, too, you will find General Bulkley Wells, the Adjutant-General of Colorado, who brought these men here. There he Is, with his epaulets and bis Har vard accent, a cruel tyrant with aU Jiu cul ture, for that la what culture is for to get rid of all the humanity there is in a man. Here Mr. Darrow reverted to Or chard and renewed the versatile de nunciation which was ever at' his tongue's end. Among other things, he termed Orchard scornfully a "cher ubim" and a "paragon of virtue" since his conversion. Struggle for Eight-Hour Law. When Mr. Darrow, late in the even ing, finally reached the Colorado labor troubles, he grew eloquent In his de nunciation of capital and his defense of the workingman. He told of the eight-hour law passed by the Colorado Legislature in 1899 and the fight against that law by the owners of the mines and the smelters. He exclaimed: They took it to the 8upreme Court, and of course that court declared it unconsti tutional. Of course It Is unconstitutional to pass a law 'taking away from the Gug genheims tbe right to take 12 hours' work out ot the hides of their workingmen in stead of eight. What are constitutions for except to be used for the rich and to destroy laws made for the poor. Gold la stronger than the pen stronger than law. What are laws for if the rich have to obey them? I am not here to say to you men that labor organisations do no wrong; I know them too well for that. They have often done wrong r they have often been unjust and frequently corrupt; but the labor organ ization has always stood for the poor, for the weak, for humane laws and for human life and liberty. The men struck in Colorado for the eight hour day, and they got It. Are you, men of the jury, going to take it away from them? Mr. Hawley asks you to destroy the Western Federation of Miners by hang ing its leaders. Are you going to do it? Doubtless they have done some brutal things some criminal things, and some that were, not wise and some that were not just- Let's admit it. I know it, and I am not going to He to you about it I think too much of you. Destroy Unions Destroy Liberty. But. admitting this, would you destroy the Western Federation of Miners and hand its 4O,000 men over to deal single-handed with the Mine Owners' Association, with the Guggenhelms? If you destroy the labor unions of this country you destroy liberty 'when you strike the blow, and will leave the poor to do the bidding of the rich. I tell you, men. that so long as the em ployers of labor have the spirit of Roeke fellerism in their hearts there Is going to be trouble. Mr. Hawley says the Western Federation of Miners has made trouble. It has, and I am glad of It, for when we cease to cause trouble we become slaves. The troops were called Into Cripple Creek because old man Stuart was beaten up. I'm sorry for the old man, but he admits he was working eight hours a day living off the fruits of what the union had worked for and was working when the union was not. If some Western Federation man had been beaten up, if they had all been slugged and beaten. Governor Peabody would never have called out any troops. Darling of Colorado. And when you men of this Jury- think of old man Stuart, think you also of the "darling of Colorado," Bulkley Wells, toot ing around the Back Bay of Boston and spending his golden plenty.

Continuing to the very close of his re marks for the day to berate and denounce the prosecution, Mr. Darrow spoke of the time when they would be "leading: forth their next victim to the sacrifice." He ever coupled the prosecution with the Mineowners' Association, and spoke of the latter's "carnival of crime and destruc tion." , The men driven from Colorado to the four corners of . the world had all returned to Boise to give the lie to Or chard, despite the fact that they were taking their lives in their hands by com ing within reach "of the iron hand of the prosecution." Mr. Darrow had begun a detailed re view of the evidence in the case as court adjourned at 9 P. M. until 9 A. M. tomorrow.
