HAWLEY FINISHES ARGUMENT.
Is Sure Haywood Had Hand In Steu
nenbsrg Murder.
Bolso, July 22.Jamos II. Hnwloy,
leading counsel for tho state of Idaho,
presenting tho first of the arguments to
tho Jury in the case against William U.
Haywood, spoko for nearly olght hours,
distributed ovor three sessions of court.
Kvon when tho forenoon session Hninr.
day had oxtondod far beyond tho cus
tomary time limit, every sent In tho
courtroom wnM oceunlod and remained
so until tho Inst word was spoken.
wono intoned moro attentively to the
argument than Haywood, tho defend.
Hin, ana none snowed loss emotion.
From tlmo to time ho took copious
notcii in a small book and freouentlv
made suggestions to ono or other of his
counsol, seven of whom wore in court
today.
Throughout tho day Mr. Hawloy usod
an almost conversational tono. Tho
nalysls of testimony In contradiction
of Orchard's story concluded frequently
with the denunciation of witness uftor
witness as a. wilful perjurer or guilty of
unintentional falsehood. When ho
iiul spoken flvo and a half hours, Mr.
Hawloy reached Caldwell, whero at tl.o
oloeo of tho year 1035 tho preparations
for tho murdor of Btounoubcra wero
afoot. His volco now found a sympa
thetic noto and, as ho told of tho last
moments of tho ox-governor tho court
room was hushed and the Jury leaned
forward to catch the speaker's every
word.
Mi. Hawloy's peroration was impres
sive. There was no attempt at uri
flight of oratory, but only n strong
noto of deep sincerity and great ear
nestness when ho pleaded for an lioncst
udgment from honest men of Iduho.
Mr. Hawloy said he did not charge
thut a majority or even that many of
tho Western Federation of Miners wero
criminals, but that the ovll deeds of
tho cfllcers and of the pcum of tho or
ganisation hud brought discredit on
tho rank and Mo. Tho time had in
deed come, he said, when right think-
ng men ehould rise nnd makowar upon
the evil Influences that wero tho curso
of all labor organizations.
On tho adjournment of court until
Monday morning, Mr. Hawley was
shuwerod with congratulations.

Yonkers Statesman.
Haywood's Lawyer Occupies Day by
Torrent of Invective Charges
Attempt to Kill Unions.
Bolso, Idaho, July 25. Tho career
of Frank Steunenberg, tho murdored
ex-governor of Idaho, was discussed
at some length by Claronco Darrow
yesterday In the courso of his plea In
behalf of William D. Haywood. Justi
fying tho articles published In tho
Miners' Magazine, tho official orgas.
of tho Western Federation of Minors,
tho Chicago lawyer said tho action
of Steunenberg In asking for United
States troops to quell riot and tho
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, unfin
ished when court adjourned, devel
oped into an appeal for labor as
against capital, and a denunciation
of all opposed to the unions. Ho held
an audience startled and open-
mouthed as ono after another the
sentiments poured from his lips. His
attack on Orchard was expected, and
In this respect he fulfilled and sur
passed the limit of sensation. Three
hours were given to Orchard, and it
was only when vituperation, physi
cal forco and words wero spent that
Mr. Darrow now turned to James H.
Hawley,
The Stato of Idaho came In for a
large share of Mr. Darrow s denun
ciation for the part- it has played in
the prosecution. Culture, education
and wealth each In turn wero de
scribed as constituting a combination
against which the worklngmen, tho
uneducated and the poor must ever
be opposed. Mr. Darrow sneered at
tho universities as purveyors of cul
ture. "And what. Is a cultured man,"
ho cried, "but ii cruel tyrant al
ways?"
Reaching the climax of his denun
ciation in sympathy for the working
class and hatred for the rich, he as
sailed the Constitution of tho coun
try, and cried:
"Tho Constitution! The Constitu
tion. It is here only to destroy the
laws made for the benefit of tho
poor.
Mr. Darrow s defense of labor
unions and of union men was pas
sionate and his eulogy of the West
ern Federation eloquent. Lovingly
he touched on the beauty of self-sacrifice
found in the "struggle for hu
manity where only the worklngman
is found," and then, with the bitter
est sarcasm, his voice pitched to the
highest note and arms unralsed, ha
heaped abuse upon the selfish rich
and upon the administration of the
State of Idaho.
SURVIVORS REACH PORTLAND.
Sixty-Five Complete Voyage on Elder
From Scene of Wreck.
Portland, July 25. With 65 sur
vivors of the ill-fated Columbia
aboard, the steamer George W. Elder
reached port at 6:'30 o'clock yester
day afternoon, after a slow and un
eventful voyage from tho scene of
this grim tragedy of the sea of last
Sunday morning. Two thousand
people thronged the narrow landing
place at Martin's dock to meet these
fortunates who were snatched from
the Jaws of death. Many were there
on the happy mission of greeting rel
atives who had escaped. Others went
to make Inquiry for some loved ono
unaccounted for.
That tho wreck was attended by
many scenes or bravery and that tne
loss of life was reduced to a mini
mum considering the rapidity with
which the Columbia settled, is tho
general verdict. In the fact of the
endless number of miraculous es
capes rrom drowning, it is clear mat
courage was at hand In plenty among
passengers and crew. Women and
children displayed admirable courage
as well ns tho men, and there wero
few Instances of rank cowardice.
