F Richardson Richard Richard- son one of Haywood's woods leading lawyers spoke two hours and aDda a half halt last night to to- the Jury in behalf of his client The contention of the defense tUch Richard Richardson rd son declared Is that no matter whether Orchard committed the crimes to which he confessed or not no connection has been shown between Orchard and the de defendant defendant de- de at bar Concluding his discussion discussion discussion discus discus- sion of the Vindicator mine explosion Richardson declared again agala that the preponderance preponderance preponderance pre pre- of ot testimony showed It t to be bean an accident Orchards Orchard's testimony as to receiving money from tire Ufe c Western Federation of Miners for crime was not corroborated corroborated- by bya a single witness Mr Richardson as asserted asserted as- as and should not be considered Both Moyer foyer and Haywood denied that they had ever evex given Orchard money and the state had failed to show any fund from which such money could have been paid As to the value of ot their testimony testimony testimony mony the thEY attorney Bald Moyer and Haywood HayWOod Haywood Hay- Hay wood stand in practically the same light as Ha Harry Hairy ry Orchard and are entitled to the same Bame belief bellet As to the coming of the militia to Cripple Creek Attorney Richardson said they came at the behest and in the service service ice of the Mine Owners' Owners association whose members were assessed so much a month to buy the certificates of ot Indebtedness indebtedness indebtedness edness Issued by the state Referring to Moyers Moyer's arrest at at Telluride Telluride ride for tor desecration of the flag Richardson Richard Richard- son declared the thirteen statements Moyer had printed on the folds of ot Old Glory shown were Indubitable truths and would be shown as truths when applied to evidence evi evi- dence in the Haywood case And as to Old Glory I 1 want to tell you men that the flag Is as much thought of and as much revered by the Western Western West West- ern Federation of ot Miners as by any com com- com of capitalists capitalists' who us use It for their purpose In any part of ot the world Mr Richardson declared that while under un tra der the ruling of the court he was not allowed to discuss the deportations from Cripple Creek or the employment of de detectives de- de In the various miners' miners unions he he- wanted to toe dwell as much as possible on conditions In Colorado I 1 1 want to weave into your minds the thought that will wUl come to you when we reach the tragic event at Caldwell so you will understand why we have on the lone one side Bide Harry Orchard finely dressed and clothed and In safety although he Is the confessed m murderer e of f your our late ede Governor o no and on n the other e th the uret effort to take the blood dw of t these men men to get them out of t the way at atthe fh the rn Instigation ti and for tor the benefit of those whose names I shall mention hereafter What I want you men to know is that if these men were guilty of the crimes charged against them in Colorado they would long ago have been called to account to Colorado law Mr Richardson dismissed the murder of Detective Lyte Greg Gregory ry In Denver with the statement that absolutely nothing nothing nothing noth noth- ing was shown to connect the Western Federation of ot Miners with the crime The attorney here said sald that such corroboration cor- cor corroboration of Orchard as had been produced produced produced pro pro- reminded him of ot the story of a Chicago man who during the worlds world's fair ie remained d away w from home all night l ezra lh When taken to task by h his mu wife he hede d de declared dared d amid hiccoughs that he had gone up in the Ferris wheel and the wheel had got stuck His wife said she could not accept such an explanation Why my dear If it you dont don't believe It said the man Ill take you out and show you the wheel i Next In the consideration of the attorney at attorney at- at torney came the blowing up of ot the Independence Independence Independence Inde Inde- depot He demanded to know why young Neville who was said by Orchard to have been with with him the day of ot the explosion was t to Boise but never r put upon the stand to toc corroborate bo i t the c confessing es fg witness There fo re a is something th fc behind J this prosecution prose prose- prosecution se sedo c cution declared c Richardson But I do not mean Mr Hawley or Senator Borah I have no fault to find with them m I think that the h jury the court i and everyone ve will say that hi 9 in the main f this case has been tried fairly and de decently decently de- de decently by th the attorneys on both sides But somewhere there is Influence which kept young Neville off of the stand Richardson charged that the Independence Independence Independence Inde Inde- depot explosion was the result of ot a plot by the mine owners to extirpate ex ex- ex extirpate x- x root and branch the Western Federation of Miners which was tryIng try- try Ing to control wages and secure work for tor its members under proper conditions N. N Answering Mr Hawleys Hawley's taunt in his opening n address why the defense hadnot had hadnot not put f S Steve Adams Yon on the e stand eR Richardson Richardson Rich Rich- ardson declared he wanted t to be perfectly perfect perfect- ly frank It would have been a case of dog eat I dog and Hawley y and Borah knew it ft Under the same Influences that worked on Orchard they secured a confession from Adams which he repudiated They have the confession and we have the repudiation The whole truth gentlemen gentlemen gentlemen gentle gentle- men Is that one was was' afraid to put him himon himon himon on the stand and the other didn't dare to In passing here I want also to say that the only reason Moyer 0 was put on t the stand is that not one scintilla of evidence was brought here to connect him with any crime except the unsupported unsupported unsupported ported word of Orchard As to George A. A Pettibone he will take the stand athis at athIs athis his own trial and explain satisfactorily the transactions he had with Orchard Mr Richardson said there was no evidence evidence evi evi- dence whatsoever to connect Haywood with the attempts if It there were any on the life of Fred Bradley in San Fran Fran- I cisco As to Pettibone sending money to Orchard while there that was something something something some some- thing to be explained at the trial of ot Pettibone The defense contends that Orchard left some of ot his own money with Pettibone Richardson spent the last half hour of the evening session in providing an explanation of ot the explosion at the Bradley Bradley Bradley Brad Brad- ley residence in San Francisco Franciaco He ar argued ar- ar argued gued the of a bomb explosion explosion ex ex- but Insisted J t that a reservoir es r for escaping gas had been formed in the walls and under the flooring and that when it came in contact with the ligh lighted that d cigar the explosion occurred and at the point of least resistance under the matin mat matin matu in th the outer U porch C the etl tl flooring fJ was if torn rf u up He scoffed at t the e evidence that alIghted a alighted lighted cigar would not ignite gas and told the 6 Jury t that In the East it was i possible I t to run n. n the finger g ed down the car carpet pet and the then n put It into the gas j Jet and and light it it In conclusion counsel said that In his opinion Orchard the typical wanderer and tin-horn tin gambler read of the explosion explosion ex ex- and adopted it as his own In any case bar Mr Ir Richardson said In this I as in every other part of ot Orchards Orchard's tesI testimony testimony tes tes- I there was not a scintilla of ot evidence evidence evi evi- dence to connect Haywood with the in incident In- In At this point in the argument court I adjourned at 8 35 until 9 o'clock this morn morning g when Mr Richardson continued |
