It was a shame to treat the poor old ailenders to a coat of white wash, but the Cubs are merciless when it comes to winning games, and Chance says that he wants all the games of the series. What he wants them for, no one knows, as the other teams In the league have about as much chance of winning first place' away from the ubs as I have. Johnny Lush, the ex,hiladelphla twlrler, was in the box against Mordecai Brown and the dual was a good one and might have resulted different had Lush received the same support that Chance's men gave to rown. The scoring came in the fourth when after Chance was out on a fine catch by Murray.

Jesse was going right too and only seven bingles did the Sox get in the eleven innings. Pat Dougherty was going right yesterday at the bat and whaled out a home run to the flag pole, which is about fifty yards longer than the Sox grounds, and a two base hit.

STATE CSSE IS CLOSED

Last Witnesses Heard in the Prosecution of Haywood for Steunenberg's Murder. MOTION TO ACQUIT IS DENIED Defendant Identified as Interested iu Orchard's Horse Purchase. Other Corroborations of the Star Witiies l'ith of the Motion to Instruct l'or AcquittalTrial l'roefediJ Monday. Boise. Ida., June 22. When th state closed its ease against William I. Haywood, charged with the murder of Frank Steunenberg, the defense made an unsuccessful attempt to secure from the court an order directing the jury to acquit the prisoner. Judge Wood's ruling, which requires lite defense to meet with evidence the case that the state has presented, was made at AZ p. m., and it was then arranged that Haywood's counsel should make their opening statement and present their first testimony on Monday next. Corroborates Orchard's Story. When the session opened it was stipulated that the record should show that the date of the draft sent by Haywood to Jack Simpkins late in lOtCi was Dec. 21, which makes it agree witu Orchard's testimony, and after that the prosecution proceeded to show by a handwriting exnert that Cenn-e T3 - - - ' - r-. Peltiboue. using the names of "J. Wolff" and "P. P.one," made two remittances of money to Harry Orchard at San Francisco through the Pacific Postal Telegraph company in the fall of r.iJ. The state next called Jim Seaborn, a colored horse trader, who swore that he sold a horse and buggy to Orchard in Denver in P.Ki."., and identified Haywood as one of the men who rode with Orchard. After that the defense admitted that in June, 1., Haywood sent $7." to Steve Adams at Ogden, and when the necessary showing had been made on the record the prosecution formally rested. Motion to Acquit Is Made. The motion for an instruction to the jury to acquit was by agreement presented at the afternoon session, and the jury was sent back to the jury house out of hearing of the argument. Attorney E. F. Richardson made the principal argument in support of the motion In a long, carefully prepared, and eloquent address. Substance of the Document. The motion of the defense avers that the only testimony tending to connect Haywood with the crime is that of Orchard; that Orchard's testimony is uncorroborated by any evidence which of itself tends to connect Haywood with the crime; that the corroboration is insufficient; that all of the testimony is insufficient; that all the evidence is insufficient upon which to found a verdict; that the evidence fails to show- knowledge of the crime on the part of Haywood and that the evidence faiis 0 slow tiie presence of the accused or that he aided or abetted the crime. ARGUMENTS Ob' THE LAWYEllS Points in Brief Made ibr the Defense and Prosecution. In arguing for this motion ltichardson took for his guide the Idaho statute Avhich forbids conviction upon the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice, quoted many authorities in supoort of his contention that there must be convincing corroboration entirely independent of the testimony of the accomplice, and made an analysis cf all the testimony offered. He declared that none of the testimony could stand without support of Orchard's story, and that the statute specifically forbade its acceptance under, those circumstances. He also argued that the testimony of Orchard was the only showing that in any way connected Haywood with the crime, and that the statute forbade conviction under those circumstances. Senator Borah, who alone spoke for the state, argued that Haywood's connection has been independently shown, and that Orchard's testimony has been corroborated by independent circumsatnees and evidence. He also submittd a general argument to show that the state had established the existence of a general conspiracy in which Haywood was a participant, and in which he strongly developed the alleged connection of Pettibono and Simpkins. Clarence Harrow, who closed, pleaded that there was not a shred of evidence in the case capable of standing without the "TOtten thread of Orchard's story" to sustain it, and that the plain provision of the Idaho statute made the duty of the coart clear. lie ridiculed the Idea of a general conspiracy, and contended that if the most liberal allowance were made tor the entire showing of the state it would not make out a case against the prisoner worthy of submission to the jury.
