BORAH DRAMATIC.
Endeavors to Prove Orchard Is
Tool of Haywood.
Boise, Ida., July 29 —"Watch these
five men, Simpklna, Orchard, Haywood.
Moyer and Petlibone Steunenberg is
to die In thirty days Watch them. We
have got them together. They're mov-
ing to the scene "
This was the dramatic climax reach-
ed Friday morning In the Haywood
trial when, for an hour and a half, Sen-
ator Borah, making the last argument,
had woven crafitly the mesh of his net.
The theme was conspiracy, the essence
of the case of the state of Idaho in
Its efforts to show that Harry Orchard
was only the tool of Haywood when he
killed the former governor.
"Now wntch this quintette." he cried
triumphantly, having laid his founda-
tion piece by piece, using only the tes-
timony of the witness of the defense,
picking it from the mass of mixed mar
terial. he showed the intimacy between
Orchard and the highest officers of
the Federation.
The dramatic utterances and tense
figure of the pleader sent a thrill
through the court room. For the apace
ef ten seconds then* was silence. Then
relaxing, Borah continued with his
merciless logic He brought Davis,
Copley, Adams and Easterly, all offi-
cers or members of the Western Fed-
eration of Miners, into touch with Or-
chard. Without a pause he drew pic-
ture after picture of them, associating
them at the various points From each
place, and fresh from every crime he
brought Orchard back home to Den-
ver," and then, smiling, leaned toward
the Jury to ask "Why Wihy always
back to Denver, unless it was to find
there th«' protection and pay of his
employers?" All these things de-
nounced or sneered at by counsel for
the defense found a bold and brilliant
defense in Senator Borah's interlude
Counsel for defense were driven into a
murmur of protest, now under the lash
of pointed nan-asm, and again when,
under sutirv of indignant reproach,
tulfure and Christianity, law and order,
refinement, the homo and the country
found a ' hamplon. The state of Idaho,
Its people and Its chief executive, each
In turn, were given a brilliant eulogy.
M*rs Steunenberg, widow of the dead
governor, attended the morning sos
sion, but left early, almost prostrated
by the emotion awakened by Borah s
vivid oratory. Haywood's mother also
left the court room, but soon returned
to take her accumstomed place beside
th > invalid wife Senator Borah's pe-
roration was delivered In quiet, almost
pleading, tones, in contrast to the hard-
er voice in which he spoke of Clarence
Barrow's argument of Justification
"If,' he said "the state has pointed
out to you the men who were concert.■
ed in and executed this awful crime,
ten, In the name of the manhood and
the womanhood of Idaho, do your duty
without fear of any man or any favor
to any man
"Let us tlmn be brave in this su-
preme moment. If the defendant Is In-
nocent let him go free; but If not, then
let him take the punishment that the
law prescribes.
"You have a higher duty to perform
than ever was asked of a Jury in Idaho
Borne of you men have stood the test
In the protection of your wives and
your flag; but you have never faced a
duty that required a higher courage
than now "
At the close of the senator's speech
he was surrounded and congratulated
by nearly every one in the court room,
Including counsel for the defense.
Bleuer will have another big grab
sale, beginning next Saturday morn-
ing at 10 o'clock. See the handsome
