Clarence Harrow spoke for an hour and a half of the morning session. Borah replied in the afternoon and was follow ed by Richardson. The judge will prob ably announce his decision tomorrow. The point argued was the proposition to exclude from consideration by the, iurv evidence' offered bv the defense tp show, by proof of the doportation of miners front nd the employment of the Pinkertons in the Cripple Creek district that conspiracy was formed among the mine owners and citiwns of the dis trict to prevent the employment of members of the Western Federation. The position taken by the defense was that Orchard was employed by the mine owner association through the detec tives to commit crimes which were then charged to the Federation and public opinion was aroused against the union worker and it therefore followed if the Colorado evidence for the state was ad niiitted, the defense had the right to show a counter conspiracy. The reply of the state was the defense, had failed legally to connect their case in these particular and therefore their evidence merely confused the issue. Judge Wood state in all probability he would de cide the' point tomorrow, J. H. Hawley will open the argument for the state at 10 o'clock tomorrow.
