Possibly by Tonight.
BORAH'S POINTED SENTENCES.
Why Is Pettibone not liere to deny
It? Pettibone s absence is an abso
lute corroboration of Orchard's story.
With such men as Kngiey within
her borders, I am not surprised that
Colorado nas had hell within her
borders for the past 10 years.
It is for you men to determine
whether industrial warfare shall be
carried out on the principle of mur
der. We put Orchard and Slmpkins and
Moyer and Haywood and Pettibone
together In Denver. Watch them
now : watch the five conspirators;
Steunenberg Is to die In SO days and
they are moving to the scene.
Scarcely had the news of Tom
Hogan's arrest been flashed to the
world than attorneys for the West
ern Federation of Miners flocked Into
Caldwell from three directions.
They killed Steunenberg to show to
the world that they never forgot an
enemy.
Why always back to Denver, unless
it was to find there the protection
and the pay of his employers?
In every home throughout this
broad land men and women tonight
look to you (the Jury) as the brave
who stand for right and the flag.
B0I3E. Idaho, Juh2i. Evidence and
argument Is at an end and tomorrow
morning the Jury will be left to decide
what penalty, if any, William D Haywood
shall pay for participation in a criminal
conspiracy resulting In the assassination
of ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg, with
which he is charged. United States Sena
tor William E. Borah, engaged by the
State of Idaho as special counsel for
the prosecution, spoke the last word to
night. Tomorrow morning Judge, Fre
mont Wood will charge and instruct the
Jury, which, it is expected, will retire to
consider its verdict at about 11 o'clock.
The crowd seeking admission to the
courtroom tonight broke all records In
a murder trial In Idaho. Two hundred
people remained in the grounds when the
doors were closed after the morning ses
sion and hours before they opened again
all approaches were blocked. When,
finally, every inch of space within the
court room was filled, several hundred
stood on the lawn under the open win
dows, that they might catch sentences
from the. Impassioned pleading of the
Senator.
Tracing the Murderers Trail.
Mr. Borah laid the foundation for his
argument last night. This morning he
began an analysts of the evidence, but he
confined himself to the murder of
Steunenberg and the conspiracy. Ha
linked Orchard to Haywood, Haywood to
Simpklns, Simpklns to Moyer and Moyer
to Pettibone. Then, selecting only the
. evidence of witnesses for the defense,
and leaving Orchards confession out, he
wove the lives and movements of the
five men together. Without departing
from the record and incidentally clearing
up a number of situations left somewhat
clouded, he brought these officers and
members of the Western Federation of
Miners together. Then he took Orchard
away from Denver and back again to
Denver, to the headquarters of the West
ern Federation. This was done care
fully and almost monotonously the quiet
before the storm. Then Mr. Borah's
voice and manner changed. He sprang
into action. His voice quivering, and
hand upraised, fingers outstretched, he
shouted:
"Watch them now; watch the five con
spirators; Steunenberg is to die In 30
days and they are moving to the scene."
The dramatic utterance and tense fig
ure of the pleader sent a thrill through
the court room. For the space of ten
seconds there was silence. Then relax
ing, Mr. Borah continued with his merci
less logic. He brought Davis, Copley..
Adams and Easterly, all officers or mem
bers of the Western Federation of Min
ers, into touch with Orchard. Without
a pause he drew picture after picture
of the men, associating together at var
ious points. From each place and fresh
from every crime he brought Orchard
back "home to Denver," and then, smil
ing, leaned toward the Jury to ask:
Why Always Back to Denver?
"Why? WhyT Ask why? Why always
back to Denver, . unless It was to find
there the protection and the pay of his
employers?"
All thOBe things which were denounced
or sneered at by counsel for the defense
found a bold and brilliant paragraph
of defense In Mr. Borah's interludes and
counsel for the defense were driven Int.
a murmur of protest, now under the lash
of pointed sarcasm and again when un
der a tirade of Indignant reproach, cul
ture, Christianity, law and order, refine
ment, the home and the country found a
ready champion. The State of Idaho, its
people and its chief executive, each In
turn, were given brilliant eulogy.
Under It all, Haywood himself was, per
haps, the one man In the room who
showed the least emotion. At times his
face flushed and more than once paled
under the attack as Mr. Borah, reaching
the climax of the conspiracy, pointed an
accusing finger at the man, who he said,
"was the criminal force behind the West
ern Federation of Miners."
Mrs. Steunenberg, widow of the dead
Governor, attended the" morning session,
but left early, almost prostrated" by the
emotion awakened by Mr. Borah's vivid
oratory. Haywood's mother also left the
courtroom In tears, but soon returned to
take her usual place beside the invalid
wife.
Fervent Appeal to Jury.
Mr. Borah's oration was delivered in
quiet, almost pleading tones. In strong
contrast to the harsher voice in which he
spoke of Clarence Darrow's argument of
Justification'. He said:
The state has pointed out to you the men
who were concerned in and executed this
awful crime, then in the name of manhood
and the womanhood of Idaho, do your duty
without fear of any man or favor to any
man.
As I listened to the eloquent voice of
counsel pleading for their client, there came
to me the memory of another scene and
another time. I remembered again that
night in the dark December in 1905 a
night that added ten years to the lives of
some here now In this room. I felt again
the icy chill and faced the drifting steel.
And I stood beside the body of my dead
friend, whose llfeblooo" stained the snow.
I felt again the disgrace that had como
to Idaho. I saw a murdered man that meant
more than murder, for it meant the first
blow that anarchy had aimed at my state.
And on that night I said to myself, can
time unteach the lesson of this hour?
Let us, then, be brave in this supreme
moment. If the defendant is innocent,
then let him go free, but, if not, then let
him take the punishment . that the law
prescribes.
Duty'to Home and the Flag.
Tou have a higher duty to perform than
ever was asked of a Jury in Idaho. Some
of you men have stood the test in the past
in protection of your homes and your flag,
but you have never faced a duty that re
quired a higher courage than now.
In every, home in Idaho the thoughts of
our people are with ifou, mingling with
thoughts of the things that made those
homes possible, and in every home through
out this broad land men and women to
night look to you as the brave who stand
for right and the flag.
At the close of Mr. Borah's address and
the adjournment of court, he was sur
rounded and congratulated by nearly
everyone In the courtroom, including
counsel for the defense.
Mr. Borah began by reviewing the
points made in the opening; of bis ad
dress last night. Then he said the
Pinkerton detectives had nothing to do
with the Steunenberg murder, saying
that charge was the most absurd of
the many absurd things said by coun
sel for the defense. He pointed 'out
that Orchard went straight from Den
ver to Caldwell, fresh from association
with the officers of the Federation,
who regarded Steunenberg as an en
emy and he referred to the. admission
of Marlon Moore, an officer of the Fed
eration, that he agreed with Orchard
to deceive the latter's wife -when Or
chard wished to desert her. Then ha
said:
Why Did Not Pettlbone Testify?
"Harry Orchard left Denver with
crime In his heart. The Impelling,
compelling force came from Denver.
George Pettibone helped Orchard pack
his utensils of murder In his trunk.
Why Is Pettibone not here to deny it?
His silence Is a confession of his guilt.
Pettibone's absence is an absolute cor
roboration of Orchard's story."
He disposed of the theory that Or
chard killed Steunenberg to gratify
personal vengeance by showing the
Jury the deed by which Orchard sold
his Interest in the Hercules mine, 14
months before the Federal troops were
called Into the Coeur d'Alenes. Then
he said:
"This deed, the letters, telegrams and
all the other evidence not subject to
being tampered with in this case, cor
roborate Harry Orchard and fit in pre
cisely with the story he has told you.
Governor Steunenbere did not cause
Orchard to lose his interest . in the
mine, so how could he have entertained
a murderous grudge?"
Defense Corroborates Orchard.
He argued that each witness for the
defensce proved a criminal conspiracy
and corroborated Orchard, for they had
protected Orchard until he confessed
and .Implicated Haywood.
Among these were "Bill" Easterly,
the member of the Western Federation
of Miners, who heard Orchard's threat
and to whom Orchard telephoned from
Caldwell before the murder; W. F. Da
vis, president of the WeRtern Federa
tion of Miners in the Coeur d'Alenes,
who heard Orchard make threats
against Steunenberg and who swore
the passing of the armed and masked
mob In possession of a train did not
interest him when he saw It; David
Coates, the ex-LIeutenant-Governor of
Colorado and friend of the Western
Federation of Miners, with whom Or
chard discussed the stealing of Paul
sen's child; Lottie Day, who was intro
duced to Haywood by Orchard, and
who saw Orchard and Haywood in pri
vate consultation; . General Eugene
Engley. the former Attorney-General
of Colorado, who of all men, an officer
of the law, should not have kept these
direful threats a secret locked within
his breast, when the State of Idaho
was looking for eviaence against Or
chard, the suspect.
"But." said Mr. Borah, "General Eng
ley does not believe In law. He is
not even a Socialist; he is an anarchist.
You heard the speech he made here In
the witness-chair. Nobody could stop
it.
Engley Preacher of Anarchy.
"With such men as Engley in office,
I am not surprised that Colorado has
had hell within her borders for the
past ten years."
The Senator next read effectively to
the jury the articles denouncing Steun
enberg In the Miners' Magazine, and
said:
"There Is much talk here and In the
argument of counsel about an Indus
trial war. There is an industrial war,

Inquiry Into Disaster by Berming

Preservers Stand Test.
SAX FRANCISCO, July 26. The inves
tigation into the sinking of the steamer
Columbia, whereby, according to the
latest figures, SI lives were lost, was re
sumed today by Captain John Birming
ham, United States Supervising Inspector.
Officers and members of the crew of both
vessels were examined and the deposi
tions of Captain Hansen of the San Pedro
and his first officer read.
The testimony brought out the state
ment from Captain Bermingham that it
was the first time he had ever known
that life-preservers had actually been ef
fective in saving life, qualifying it by
adding that people were usually to fright
ened to don them correctly.
Captain Hansen, In his report, denied
that he had been unnecessarily cruel in
refusing to take any more survivors on
board after he had rescued 75, giving as
a reason for his action that his own ves
sel was in such a condition that It was
dangerous to approach her, and therefore
ordered the other boats to keep off.
Chief Engineer Arthur V. Williams tes
tified that the San Pedro did not lower all
her boats because the vessel was under
manned. v
Hawse Denies Cruelty.
The alleged action of Third Officer
Hawse, of the Columbia, In refusing to
give his coat to a woman was brought
out in the testimony of Quartermaster
Curran. The latter testified that there
wer unclothed women in the boat, and
when Hawse was asked to give his coat
to one of them he had , refused, saying
that the coat belonged to him. The
women, said Curran, had been exposed for
an hour before Hawse covered them up
with a piece of sail.
Hawse Interrupted the proceedings by
interposing an indignant denial, and for
a few moments counter-denials flew back
and forth between the two officers.
Hawse was placed on the stand and tes
tified -that he had offered his coat to
Miss Maybelle Watson, the plucky Berke
ley girl.-but she refused it and asked him
to give it to another woman more desti
tute than herself.
Captain Hansen's Report.
Captain Kansen in his written report
says:
"Within 20 minutes after the time No.
1 lifeboat left the San Pedro's side she
returned with 20 survivors, who were
taken on board; she then went back for
more, the other two boats also bringing

board. I then gave orders to the boats
not to come too near, but to stand by with
those on board of the boats."
First Officer Hendrlckson's report cor
rorobates that of Captain Hansen. His
statement of the reason for ordering the
boats away is as follows:
"The vessel was lying in the trough of
the sea and began to relieve herself of
her deckload. It was then very danger
ous for the metallic boats to come too
near. The captain ordered the boats to
stay back."
Evidence of Engineers.
Chief Engineer Williams, of the San
Pedro testified that he first heard the
Columbia's whistle three minutes before
the collision. The San Pedro, he said,
ploughed Into the Columbia fully six feet
and hung on until the Columbia swung
away. Only two boats were lowered from
the San Pedro.
Assistant Engineer Thomas, of the Co

HENEY'S ATTACK ON DELMAS
Refers With Scorn to Defense
of Harry Thaw.
SAYS CHARGE IS PROVED
Prosecutor Declares Only Man
Highest Up Buys Officials and
No Other Than Glass Could
Have Bribed Boxton.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 26. The case
against Louis Glass, first vice-president
and general manager of the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, charged with the crime of bribing
Supervisor Charles Boxton la the sum of
$5000 to vote against an ordinance grant--ing
the Home Telephone Company a
rival franchise in San Francisco, went to
the jury this evening after 14 days of
actual trial and a day and a half of ar
guments by Assistant District Attorney
Heney for the people and T. C. Coogan
and Delphin M. Delmas for the defense.
The reading of Judge Lawlor's charge
to the jury consumed one hour. At Its
conclusion the courtroom was cleared, the
jury was given in charge of two Deputy
Sheriffs and by them conveyed in a tally
ho to the Falrmount Hotel.
The entire morning session, from 10
o'clock until a few minutes past 12, was
occupied by Mr. Delmas in the closing
argument for the defense.
Mr. Heney, In the Judgment of able ob
servers, exceeded his powerful effort In
closing for the prosecution in the Mayor
Schmlta extortion case.
Direct Proof Not Needed.
Judge Lawlor, in his charge to the Jury,
said:
It is not necessary that there should be
direct evidence of expressed agreement of
alleged conspiracy. It Is competent to prove
the defendant was a party to the conspiracy
for -the commission of the crime by circum
stantial as well as by direct evidence.
The prosecution must prove beyond a rea
sanoble doubt: Flr9t the bribing of Box
ton: second, 'the connection of the defendant
with the giving- of that, bribe, even If the
bribing of Boxton is proved to your satisfac
tion; still, if the prosecution has failed t
prove the connection of the defendant with
that crime, your verdict should be "Not
guilty."
Heney's Closing Argument,
Mr. Heney began his closing argument
at 2:06 P. M. He said that the arguments
of the defense aptly illustrated the truth
of the adage "a drowning man will grasp
at a straw." Without another prelim
inary word Mr. Heney jumped into the
midst of his argument. He ridiculed the
contention of Mr. Delmas that, because
President Fish or Assistant President
Fickernell of the American Bell Telephone
Company, or President Scott or Auditor
Zimmer of the Pacific States Company,
"might have ordered the drawing of the
bribery checks. Glass must be Innocent."
"I will show you," cried Mr. Heney,
"before I am through I will demonstrate
to you briefly beyond the last possibility
of a doubt that one man, and one man
only, Louis Glass, had the power to au-
OREGON?
thorlze the $50,000 bribery disbursement
at the time the bribes were paid."
None but Glass Could Do It.
Mr. Heney argued that no one but
Glass could have been guilty of the
crime charged. He denied that he had told
the jury he intended to indict a man for
that crime and he declared unqualifiedly
his belief in Zimmer's complicity. He
admitted that Zimmer could have signed
the bribery checks, but he denied that
Zimmer could have done so on his own
initiative and without Instructions from
Glass. He said:
"That $oU00 could have been obtsined
from the treasury in no other way than
by Glass and Scott signing. Scott tells
you he did not sign any of those checks.
Zimmer tells you he is not afraid of in
criminating himself. Who had a motive
in getting Zimmer not to testify? Any
body but Glass? Unquestionably no."
Continuing Mr. Heney said:
Direct Attack on Delmas.
When the time comes for me to die, I
would 10 times rather have built up a repu
tation for flKhtlng the battles of the people
for riffht and honesty and decency and Jus
tice than to have It said of me with truth
fulness that I had crossed this great conti
nent to prostitute my gifts In defense of a
man who had shot down one of his fellow
men in cold blood in a public theater.
As Mr. Heney shouted his defiance,
he faced Mr. Delmas squarel;- and
pointed at him a finger of scorn. The
veteran of the Thaw defense did not
lift his eyes from the manuscript he
was reading or give any other token that
he heard.
In the midst of a fierce period in which
Mr. Heney undertook to explain to the
jury the motives of the prosecution In
granting immunity to the Supervisors
in order to convict their ' corruptors, Mr.
Delmas Interrupted. He complained that
Mr. Heney was arguing outside of the
evidence. This Mr. Heney denied, and a
sudden dropping of his voice to a conver
sational level exposed better than any
thing else could have done the tremen
dous intensity of his speech. The pres
plration stood on his brow In great beads
and the hand that raised the handker
crief to wipe it away trembled as with
the palsy.
Judge Lawlor instructed the jury that
statements of facts made by counsel of
matters not Included in the evidence
must not be accepted by the jury as
facts.
Man Highest Up Does Bribery.
Proceeding, Mr. Heney asked:
In a big company of this kind, who would
look after matters so important as those
relating to opposition telephone companies?
Why, the man in charge. The man highest
up. This company promised the Supervisors
$50,000 If they would refuse the franchise
to the Home Telephone Company and prom
ised an additional $25,000 If those Super
visors would continue friendly to the Pacific
Company for the next two years. Nobody
but the general manager would attend to
' such important matters.
When a great corporation wants some
thing to which it is not entitled, there comes
a time when a man high up has the thing
passed up to blm where he will violate the
laws of the country to save the profits of
his company. You can send to the peni
tentnary the hirelings of those companies
and you will find others ready to. come In
and take their places for the sake of the
reward.
Mr. Heney concluded his argument
with an appeal for a conviction, barring
reasonable doubt. "At your hands we ask
a verdict of guilty," he said, "In order
that the dignity of the law may be upheld
and San Francisco may stand once more
as a city where the laws can be enforced
against any crllmnal, no matter bow high
he may be, nor how low, and poor or rich.
We ask at your hands a verdict of convic
tion In order that it may be published
abroad that Sun Francisco can furnish
that quality of citizens for Jurors who by
their fearless performance of duty serve
notice on the world that San Francisco
has redeemed herself."
Mr. Heney concluded at 4:30 o'clock,
having talked little more than the hour
of original limitation.
Delmas Denies It's Proved.
Mr. Delmas began his argument for
the defense by assuring the jury that,
if he thought public clamor would
weigh with it, he would scorn to ad
dress It. He then asserted that the
only proof that money was ever paid
to Boxton was the unsupported testi
mony of Boxton himself. Ho called
attention to the legal requirement that
a conviction could only be had on the
testimony of a single witness when
that witness was entitled to full credit.
He then attacked Boxton's credibility
on the ground that Boxton's immunity
depended on his tellinj? the truth as
the prosecution saw it and that Boxton
admitted having perjured himself In
the Langdon ouster proceedings. He
proceeded:
"If Boxton was bribed he is as much
guilty of the crime as is the man who
bribed him. That he was an accomplice,
if the crime was committed, is admitted
by the prosecution. You have then, the
sole testimony of a man' who tells you
he sold himself over and over again a
man whom the law stigmatizes as un
worthy of belief in himself and whose
testimony must be corroborated by
other and uncontaminated evidence
tending to connect the. defendant -with
the commission of the crime, before a
conviction can be had. Where Is that
testimony, gentlemen? T.he one -er-son
by whom the testimony is sought
to be corroborated Is Mrs. Boxton."
He said Mrs. Boxton testified that
Boxton took home the $5000 bribe,
counted it. in her presence and gave it
to her. But did that connect Glass with
the crime? He then discussed the
alternative before Mrs. Boxton of either
by contradicting her husband sending
him to state's prison or by eorroborat
ing him saving him from a felon's cell.
He left It to ihe Jury to Judge which
alternative she had chosen, f,ut I hether
Boxton was bribed or not, thfre was
no evidence to connect Glass Tlth the
crime.
Shows Scott Slight Be Guilty.
Mr. Delmas then analysed the evidence
by elimination that Glass bribed Boxton,
the state having sought to show that no
other had power to supply the money. He
ended this analysis by virtually charging
that Henry S. Scott, president of the
company, was the guilty man. He re
ferred to Mr. Heney's statement that Mr.
Scott left for the East February 18 or
19. and was not in San Francisco at the
time of the bribery and then said that
Mr. Scott did not go East till August and
was in the city when the bribe was paid.
He did not argue that Mr. Scott did the
bribing, but said Mr. Scott could have
done it; therefore proof by elimination
failed.
He next argued that Zimmer might
have done the deed and therefore was
not eliminated. Zimmer had authority
