ESfit' IS
OVERRULED
Judge Wood Declines to
Dismiss Case.
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.
