Wife of Murdered Governor Over
come ly Emotion and Compelled
to Leave the Itoom.
Boise, July 2G. The evidence and
argument Is at an end and tomorrow
morning the jury will bo lelt to deM
elde whether William D. Haywopfi
participated In the conspiracy, reunit
ing In the assassination of former
Governor Steunenberg, as is charged
by the state. Senator Boran spoke
the last word tonight. Tomorrow
Judge Wood will charge and Instruct
the jury, which It is expected will re
tiro to consider their verdict about 11
o'clock The crowd seeking admis
sion to the courtroom tonight broke
all records In a murder trial In Idaho.
Two hundred peoplo remained on the
grounds when the doors were closed
after the morning session.
Before they opened again for the
evening session all approaches were
blocked When finally every Inch of
space In the courtroom was filled,
several hundred stood on the lawn
under the open windows, that they
might catch sentences fromthe Im
passioned pleading of the young Sen
ator Borah laid the foundation for
his argumont la3t night This morn
ing he began an analysis of the evi
dence, but ho confined himself to the
murder of Steunonberg and the con
spiracy He linked Orchard to Hay
wood, Haywood to Simpklns, Simp
kins to Moyer and Moyer to Petti
bone Then, selecting only the evi
dence of the witnesses for the de
fense, and leaving Orchard's confes
sion out, ho wove the lives and move
ments of the five men together.
Without departing ffom the rec
ord and incidentally clearing up a
number of situations left somewhat
clouded, le brought these officers,
and members of -the Western Fed
eration together Then he took Or
chard away from Denver and back
again to Denver, to the headquarters
of the Western Federation This
was done carefully and almost
monotonously
Quiet before the storm, then Bo
rah's voice and manner changed. Ho
sprang into the air. His voice quiv
ered and with hand upraised and
fingers outstretched he shouted,
"Watch these five men Simpkins,
Orchard, Haywood, Moyer, Pettlbone
Steunenberg was to die in thirty
days watch them we have got
them together they are moving to
, the scene"
The dramatic utterance and tense
figure of the pleader sent a thrill
through tho courtroom For a space
of ten seconds there was silence.
Then, relaxing, Borah continued with
his merciless logic. He brought Da
vis, Copley, Adams and Easterly, all
officers or members of the Western
Federation of Miners, into touch with
Orchard. Without pause ho drew
picture after picture of the men, as
sociating together at various points.
From each place and )fresh from
every crime ho brought Orchard back
"Home to Denver," and' then, smil
ing, leaned toward the jury to ask,
v "Why? Why? Ask why? Why, un
less It was to find thero the protec
tion and pay of his employers."
All those things denounced or
sneered at by the counsel for the de
fense fouud a bold and brilliant para
graph of defense In Borah's Inter
ludes, and counsel for the defense
were driven Into a murmur of pro
test, now under the lash of pointed
sarcasm and again when under thei
tlrado of Indignant reproach, culture,
Christianity, law and order, home and
country, found a ready champion. I
The state of Idaho, its people and
Its chief executive, each In turn were
gUen a brilliant eulogy Under it
nit Haywood hinis&lf was perhaps
one man in the lodm who showed
the least emotion. & times his facg,

Borahs vivid oratoV. Hay.wood'
rothe also left tho TJourtroorr

usual place beside his Invaljpr wife.
Tho senVtor's peroration ymfe deliv
ered In (juiict, almost pleading, tones
In stroiiil contrast tojftho harsher
voice in I which he dffioke of Dar
row's argument of Unification.
"If," ye said, "Me state has point
ed out Jo you tUp man who was con
cernedin andPexecuted this awful
crimtf then ijf the name of manhood
ttlfu woniajmood of Idaho, do your
duty wljjbut fear of any man or
favor op any man." As I listened
to thoroloquent voice of the counsel
pleading for their client, there came
tojpie thememory of another scene
ami another time. I remembered
gain that night In dark December
In 1005 the night that added ten
years to the lives of some here now
In this room. I faced again the icy
chill and faced the drifting snow.
And I stood beside tho body of my
dead friend, whose Ufeblood stained
the snow."
"I felt again the disgraco that had
come to Idaho. I saw the mur
dered man that meant more than
murder, for It meant "the first blow
anarchy had aimed at my state. And
on that night I said to myself, 'Can
tlmo unteach the lesson of this
hour?' Let u, then, be brave in
this supreme moment. If the de
fendant is innocent, then let him go
treo, but If not, then let him take
the punishment that law prescribes.
You have a higher duty to perform
than over was asked of any jury in
Idaho. Some of you men have stood
'he test In the past In the protection
of your homes and flag, but you have
never faced a duty that required a
higher courago than now.
"In every section of Idaho, the
thought of our people are with you,
mingling with doubts of the things
that made those homes possible and
in the homes throughout this hroad
land, men and women tonight look
to you as tho brave who" stood for
tho right and the flag"
At the close of Senator Borah's
ipeech and adjournment of court he
was surrounded and congratulated
by nearly every one in the courtroom
Including tho counsel for the de
fense. Darrow Compliments Borah.
Boise, July 26. Clarence Darrow
said tonight:
'Senator Borah's speech to the
Jury was tho. fairest and ablest I
ever heard from a counsel In a great
murder trial. Borah ' might have
said more without going outside of
the record, but It was noticeable he
omitted some things in order to
ivoid tho slightest tinge of unfair
ness." Darrow also paid high trib
ute to the conduct of the case
throughout. When Haywood reached
his cell in the county jail after the
adjournment of court, ho said,
3peaking to Ras Beemer, deputy
3herlff in charge of jail: "Well, I
havo heard the best of them in the
country, but Borah beat them all."

JURY AT FAIRMOUNT HOTEL
Telephone Official Is Charged With
Attempt to Drlbu Supervisor In
Sum of .$5,000.
San Francisco, July 2G. The case
of Louis Glass, first vice president
and general manager of the Pacific
States 'lelephone and Telegraph
Company, charged with the crime of
bribing Supervisor Boxton in the
sum of $5,000, to vote against the
ordinance granting the Home -Tele
phone Company a rival franchise in
San Francisco, went to the jury this
evening, after fourteen days of ac
tual trial and a day and a half of
arguments by Assistant District At
torney Heney for the people and T.
C. Coogan and D. M. Delmas for the
defense. The reading of Judge
Lawlor's charge to the jury con
sumed one hour. At the conclusion
the courtroom was cleared, and the
jury given Into the charge of two
deputy sheriffs and by them con
veyed In a tallyho to the Falrmount
hotel.
Tho entire morning session from
ten o'clock until a Jew minutes past
twelve was occupied by Delmas In
tho closing argument for the de
fense. Heney, In tho judgment of
observers, exceeded even his power
ful effort In closing for the prosecu
tion In the Schmitz case. Judge
Lawlor instructed the jury that it Is
not necessary there be direct evi
dence of expressed agreement of
conspiracy. It Is competent to prove
tho defendant was a party to a con
spiracy by;circumstantial as well as
direct evidence. He said the prose
cution must provt the bribing of
Boxton and tho connection of the
defendant with giving a bribe, and
if the prosecution fails to prove that
connection the verdict must be "Not
guilty."

TO DEVELOP WATER FRONT
OAKLAND OFFICIALS CONFER
WITH LEGISLATORS.
Take Up Question of Wharves and
Docks and Expenditures Re
quired For Improvements.
Oakland, July 26. The joint
legislative committees on harbors
and harbor improvements convened
at the Chamber of Commerce this
afternoon to confer wlththe muni
cipal officials and representative citi
zens of Alameda county for the dls
cu3slon of questions affecting water
front improvemt. The main ques
tion up for discussion was the issu
ance of state bonds proposed for har
bor improvements and construction
work sought by San Francisco in
the sum of $10,000,000.
The committees present at the con
ference based their inquiry along the
same lines, as to what amount of
state aid Oakland would need for the
development of a proper system of
wharves and docks, and views re
garding future control of the water
frontage.
Congressman Knowland declined
to go into the matter beyond a super
ficial expression of good will on gen
eral grounds, as he believed the citi
zens of each city perfectly able to
handle their own problems in the
premises.
Mayor Mott, who was seconded by
Councilman Jackson, outlined some
of the plans of the water-front Im
provement now In course of develop
ment, observing that the city desired
only the right to put forth its just
demands to tho state when the time
comes.
Senator Wolf was of tho opinion
that the proposed Issuance of the
state bonds should be In accord with
the actual needs of the territory
specified, as a proportionate expendi
ture. Ex-Governor Pardee addressed the
convention In favor of recommending
that a strip occupied by the Western
Pacific and the Southern Pacific rail
roads be eliminated from the propo
sition of State aid.
WRECK BREAKS UP FAMILY
WIFE AND TWO UAHIES OF
FRISCO MAN RELIEVED LOST.
Left Portland for Bay City On Ill
Fated Boat, After Visit
With Friends.
San Francisco, July 26. One of
the saddest of all the tales which
come from the wreck of the Colum
bia is tho reported loss of tho young
wife and two baby children of H. T.
Winters, a resident of 633 Lyons
street, In this city. One of tho child
ren was a boy 2 years of age and
the other an Infant of but six
months. Mrs. Winters was from Ore
gon and formerly a resident of Tilla
mook, whltner she was bound to look
after some property Interests and In
cidentally to pay a visit to cherished
friends. Before her marriage to
Mr. Winters she was widely known
and admired as Miss Rose Weath
erly. The two met in Portland, where
Mr. Winters was engaged upon tho
Journal as foreman, but subsequent
ly removed to this city, where he
took a position on the Chronicle.
Mrs. Winters embarked upon tho Ill
fated Columbia in the highest spirits,
happy in visiting her old home and
again meeting valued friends. No
premonition of the fate of the ship
gave ground for tho slightest an
xiety. The season was propitious
and a fortunate and speedy voyage
seemed to' be assured. The dreadful
tidings of the loss of tho Columbia
reached the husband and father yes
terday. Friends, realizing tho Impotence
of, attempting to comfort a man so
terribly afflicted, could only breatho
tho hope that the disaster was less
sweeping than reported and coun
seled Mr. Winters to await until all
was known. Later tidings, uncon
firmed, otld of additional rescues,
and tho chanco that some of his
loved ones might yet survive In
spired him with now hope.
SI1IRTMAKER8 ARE LOCKED OUT
New York, July 26. Tho Shirt
Contractors' Association of the East

which was refused, and 1000 shirt

In selecting the delegates of the

result that It has been asked to with
draw three of Its selections. The
names submitted were those of Pat
rick Calhoun, Thornwell Mullaly,
William Abbott, Charles Holbrook,
A. C. Kains and Dr. W. B. Coffey.
In tho following letter the com
mittee has asked the company to
withdraw the first three names, stat
Ing that thero was no objection to the
last three:
San Francisco, July 22, 1907.
Tho United Railroads of San Fran
cIsco, corner Oak and Broderlck
streets, San Francisco, Cal. Gentle
men: Tho arrangements committee
of tho Industrial peace conference
begs leave to note receipt of your
favor appointing certain representa
tives as delegates of tho United Rail
roads to the conference Strenuous
objections and strong criticism causes
us to boliovo that the presenco of
certain members of your delegation
would havo a tendency to disrupt tho
harmony of tho conference and in
terfere withtho calm deliberation
which wo so earnestly desire. Wo
do not wish to be construed as pass
ing judgment upon indictments pend
ing before our courts, but wo ques
tion the propriety of some members
of the delegation you name taking
their seats In this conference We
desire a thoroughly representative
body, and we feel that we cannot
recognize individuals against whom
ln"jOTy
charges are pending in our courts.
In the earnest desire therefore that
we may request that the United
Railroads withdraw jhe objection
able members of tho delegation Tho
objections and criticism referred to
above do not apply to Messrs. Chas.
Holbrook, A. C. Kains and Dr. W.
B. Coffey. Most respectfully,
The Arrangements Committee.
To the foregoing letter Patrick
Calhoun made the following reply:
It has become my disagrceablo
duty to expose the unworthy motives
which influenced the managers of tho
so-called peace conference in re
questing the United Railroads to
withdraw certain members of tho
delegation It was requested to ap
point. On Sunday the president of the
Civic League frankly stated to mo
the political reasons why ho thought
it inadvisable for a delegation from
the United Railroads to attend tho
peace conference, which were that
the cordial reception he was satis
fied a majority of the members of
that conference would accord me as
the representative of the principle
of Industrial stability and public
peace would have a tendency to
create a lack of harmony and antag
onize tho labor unions of this city.
Today he unites in a letter Eent by
the arangements committee request
ing the withdrawal of Messrs. Ab
bott, Mullaly and myself from the
delegation on the ground of the re
cent indictments found by the grand
jury. ,
In my letter of today to the ar
rangements committee is a fuller
statement of the facts. Suffice it
here to say that at the time the in
vitation was Issued the indictments
referred to in tho letter of the Civic
League had been returned and every
membr ofthat lague was fully aware
of their existence.
I would cheerfully havo withdrawn
yesterday the delegation of tho
United Railroads as requested by Mr.
Scott except for the conviction that
I would not become a party to a
cowardly political act and retire
from public iarticIpation in an in
dustrial conference lest the cordial
reception which it was anticipated
would be given me by the business
element of this community should
arouse tho antagonism of tho labor
unions.
It seems to mo that tho settle
ment of the questions at Issue In tho
industrial conditions of San Fran
cisco cannot be aveded or tempor
ized with, but must be settled per
manently upon correct principles.
This is not the day for time-serving
subterfuges. It is not the tlmo for
petty plays for political purposes. It
Is tho day when all broad-minded,
right-thinking peoplo should unite
in the effort to re-establish public
peace and stop the injury to the city
occasioned by lawless restraint upon
Its trade and commerce.
