Mr Richards RichardsOn I Isaid said the corroborating corroborating rating evidence in support of a confessing con eon witness must be so stron strong that standing by itself separated and apart from the witness witness' story it is sufficient sufficient sufficient to remove all reasonable doubt as asto asto asto to th the defenda defendants defendant's ts t's guilt He He charged that the State had no corroborating circumstances of this character as to the murder of Gov and that for the reason that a general conspiracy conspiracy con con- was charged and all the events of the Colorado labor wars w were re gone into S But gentlemen of the jury said Richardson the general generd conspiracy that th the prosecution complains of is a lawful conspiracy If this be a conspiracy conSpiracy conspiracy con con- con con- then you are in a conspiracy if you are a Democrat and vote tho the D Democratic ticket The Western Federation Federation Federation Fed Fed- of Miners was in a a conspiracy to el elect Ct its men to office to shorten hours and to fix wages and every everyone one of th those se objects is js law lawful ul yet in this country Taking Taking- up next the history of th tha Western Federation of Miners 1 Mr Ir Richardson said that while much was heard nowadays as to the equal distribution distribution distri distri- of wealth the motto of all would be so long as men are c constituted ld as they are to git all you can while you are gitting gittin says I. I This saying saving from The Hoosier Schoolmaster h applied alike to capital and t to labor Oil Trust Owned Mines S Delving into the Coeur d dAleno Alene troubles troubles trou trou- bles Mr Richardson declared that most of the mines there were wore owned by the Standard Oil and ho company proclaimed proclaimed pro pro- claimed that wherever conditions f were such as to create a Ro Rockefeller at one one end of th the line and a man with a gaunt aunt dinner pail at the other more or orless or orless orless less friction and trouble is bound to occur The Bunker Hill property had been turned in for taxation at OOOO but after the mill was blown up a loss of was claimed I am not going poin to explain or apologize apol o ze for the men who blew up p that mill said the attorney It is is for us to say that Haywood was not a part of it it You are not going oin to convict these men inca for what was done that day so the matter requires but little thou thought bt or or- attention After the mill was destroyed it t is s shown the themen themen themen men returned to th their r homes and their work There disorder insurrection in in- was no mor no but Gen Merriam and his negro troops were ordered into the district Be it said to his credit that Gov was not on the ground and did not see personally what was done but gentlemen of the jury lury if you were driven out of the country if at you were incarcerated in m in a n. bull buH pen if you were held there and aDd blistered in inthe inthe inthe the heat of midsummer if you were subjected to the insults of negro soldiers soldiers sol eol sol sol- diers would there not have been hatred and resentment in your breasts a against all who hd had had a part pan or a parc parcel l in inthe inthe th the treatment meted out to you 1 Might Have Been Worse Ah I say it is to the credit of every ev cv- ery cry man put in that bull buH pen peu without charge or trial that there was no result re reo re- re sult suit from it disastrous to to the leader securing their incarceration be ho he ite great or small I say that this fact s speaks eaks volumes in m my mind for the control this organization has over its mem mi bers Be Before ore taking up the Cripple Creek troubles Mr Richardson returned to the the history of the West Western rn Federation Feder ti of Miners and pointed out what his his his' objects objects' had been been to to better conditions to care caro for its sick and dying the widows and orphans of its members lie Ito ridiculed the idea that anyone could claim that at 10 working men men organized organized organized organ organ- for their betterment could b be termed criminals As to Cripple Creek Mr Richardson dwelt again upon the tho fact that many of the tho thc mines were owned by the Standard Standard Stand Stand- ard Oil company Wherever Vh rever that company com corn pany operates be e it t Colorado or Michigan Michigan Mich OUch igan the attorney asserted there was f always some sort of labor trouble I And labor Jabor he declared always gets the worst of f it I dont don't know whether labor i s 's always right or sometimes some some- times wrong vron but hut I do say that it is not right that the laboring man should bear the brunt o of what h he doesn't d do Talks About Orchard hard Richardson next told of the coming of Harry Orchard into the Cripple Creek Creel district He recalled the early crimes to which Orchard confessed confessed selling selling weight short h ch cheese ele burning g the tho cheese factory gambling etc lIe Ho even even gambled away his interest in the Hercules prospect prospect according according t to his own story II said the attorney The defense claims claim's Orchard lost his int interest rest in this thib mine mind by bein being driven out of the country and it was for this that tha t Jie pe murdered Mr lIr Richard son went on on onto to explain hi his hie statement as to the gambling that Orchard rd transferred the mine but tern tem to Dan pan Cardoner th the present owner and was cheat cheated d out opt of its re redemption redemption re- re when compelled to leave t country If this is wore not t true the St State te should S have put Gordon ordoner r on the stand Dime Novel Hero lero Richardson described Orchard as dreaming that he be was a dime novel hero He wanted to be known as a abad abad bad man He had his picture taken holding his bis smoking revolver over a a. companion lying in a position of death over a card table The photo said the thel l lawyer wyer indicated the character of Harry Orchard the tinsel hero and showed the hereditary his blo blood bloo q qan an an uncle committed d suicide while worrying over some imaginary crime The attempted tr wreck train on th the Florence Cripple Creek railroad Mr ir Richardson dismissed briefly as havin having been conclusively conclusive shown up as a Pinkerton plot plot He next entered upon the Vindicator mine mine- explosion arguing that it was was an accident pure and simple Orchard he said claimed credit for this as he did for many other crimes he never com corn The he attorney w was s still discussing discussing discuss discuss-
