ONLY A QUESTION OF FAIRNESS, SAYS DARROW Attorney for Miners' Leaders Declares That Nothing but a Square Deal Is Asked by Men Alleged to Be Involved in the Idaho AssassinationT Boise, Idaho, May 6. The argument of the motion of tlie defense for a bill of particulars in the case of William Haywood, charged with the murder of former Governor Stucnenberg, was com menced 'before Judge Freemont Wood at 10.15 a. m. today. By direction of the court Haywood was brought up from the county jail below to attend the hearing on the mo tion. Sheriff Shad Hodgin" and two deputies brought the prftoher into the room and Bare him a seat at the table of his counsel. He was 'not handcuffed. Senator Borah represented, the. state and Richardson & Darrow the prisoner. Mr. Richardson opened his argument by reading the indictment of Haywood Moyer, I'ettibone, Orchard and Simikins, charged with the murder of Governor Steunenberg. ' Mr. Kichardson contended that the In dictments only showed that Governor Steunenberg had been killed by a bomb; that Haywood was charged with con spiring to have; Steuneaberg. murdered, and that Haywood was charged with be ing present and actually committing the crime, an assertion that every one knew to be 'untrue. Senator Borah, who began for the state, said that the defense was not seeking particularization of the indict ment, out possession of the evidence bv which the state hoped to prove its case'. Heathen explained, that the charge' that Haywood was at Caldwell when the murder was committed was necessary under ' the Idaho statutes. Senator Borah said that the indictments as to murder was surely specific enough to show the prisoner the exaot nature of the charge he must meet. The demand for particulars as to the conspiracy was a demand for evidence. Clarence Darrow, of the defense, then addressed the court. He said that it wae purely a question of fairness and justice to the defendant. "Mr. Borah says we do not want a better pleading, but that we are after the- evidence," said Mr. Darrow.: "We are. Why not? Why are we not en titled to know what the evidence will show,' so that wo mav prepare to meet itr Judge Wood at 3 p. m. announced that he would not decide the matter of furnishing the defense a bill of partic ulars until Wednesday morning at ten ociock. unirt then adjourned for the day. -,,'..: Immediately before the opening of the court for the hearing of the motion for a bill of particulars, Clarence Darrow, of counsel for the defense, said: "Under the laws and constitution, Moyer, Haywood and Pettibone are to be tried in court by a jury of their ?eers. The forum is, the state court of daho. Under these facts, I do not see what there is for President Roosevelt to do. All we have a right, or desire to ask cither of .him or any other citizen is to leave the courts and juries to ad minister the law tairly and without pre judice and without influence from the outside.
