DEFENSE OPENS MONDAY The Court Was Satisfied That the Case Should Go to the Jury. MORE EVIDENCE ADMITTED Judge Wood'a Ruling Require tbe O fenta To Meet With Evidence the Cat That tbe State Ha Presented Adjournment Until Monday. 1IOISE, June 21. -The state today cloKed It cvm) tgainst Haywood, the de- fen nude an unsuccessful attempt to secure from the court an order directing the jury to acquit the priwner. Judge Wood' ruling, which require the de fense to meet, with evidence, tbe ease that the state ha presented, wa made at 8:15 o'clock and it wa then arranged that Haywood counsel should make Its opening argument and present their first testimony on Monday. When the trial opened this morning it wa stipulated that tbf record should how that the date of the draft ent by Haywood to Jack Simpkins late in lttuS wa December 21, and after that the prosecution proceeded to (how by a handwriting expert, that ueorge Fetu bone, using the name of "J. Wolff and "sP. Bone" made two remittances, of money, to Orchard In the fall of 1004. Tbe state next called Jim Seehorn, a colored horse trainer, who swore he sold a hone and buggy to Orchard, in Den ver, In 1!M),"5 and identified Haywood as one of the men, who rode with Orchard. After that the defense admitted that in June, 1003, Haywood ent $75 to Steve Adams at Ogdcn and when the necesnary showing had been made on record, the prosecution rested. Th motion for the Instruction to tbe jury, to acquit, wa by greement, pre sented at the afternoon session and the jury was sent back to the jury house out of hesrlnir of the argument. At torneys Richardson made the principal argument In support of the motion in long, carefully prepared and eloquent speech. He took for his guide, the Idaho statute which forbids conviction upon the uncorroborated testimony of an ac complice and quoting many authorities in support of bis contention, thst there must be a convincing corroboration, en. tirely independent of the testimony of an accomplice and made an analysis ot all the testimony offered. He declared that none of the testi mony could stand without support of Orchard's story and the statute speci- flcnlHi forbade its acceptance under those circumstances. He also argued that the i....: r i 1 ...j ik. ' 1.. showinir that, in anyway connected Haywood with the crime and the sta tute forbade conviction under those circumstance. , 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' testimony had been corrobo rated by independent circumstance and evidence. He submitted a general argu ment to show, that the state had estab lished the existence of a general con spiracy, lu which, Haywood waa involv ed, and in which be strongly developed the alleged connection of Pettibone and Simpkins, , , , , : Clarence Darrow.who closed, pleaded that there was not a shred of evidence in the eae capable of standing without the "Rotten thread of Orchard's story" to sustain it and that the plain pro vision of the Idaho statue, made It the duty of the court to clear the defendant. He ridiculed tlie idea of a general con spiracy and contended that if the most lilieral allowance was made for the en tire' showing of the state, that it would not make out a case against the pris oner worthy of submission to a. jury. :, In conclusion, he appealed to the court to withdraw the ease from tbe jury and dismiss the case. Judge Wood Immediately refused the motion. Tb court I thoroughly atlfled that this can should be cubmitted to the jury. If I felt differently, I ihould not hesitate to so rule." The court then explained that be did Dot review the evidence In a written opinion because there were two more defendant to be tried later. BLIHDED BY RICE.
