Haywood Trial. Closing Argument of W. E. Borah

Boise, ID: The Statesman Shop, 1907. First edition. Paperback. Very Good. 130 pp. Octavo [23 cm]; perfect bound, printed wrappers. Some light wear and soil, bumped at the corners. Internally clean and bright. Full transcription of Borah's closing statement as prosecuting attorney in the case of Idaho vs. William D. Haywood, et al., for the 1905 murder of former Idaho Governor Frank Steunenberg. Borah lost the case to the brilliant defense of Clarence Darrow (the assassin was eventually discovered to be Harry Orchard, a former Wobbly turned stool-pigeon for the Cripple Creek Miner's Association). Though unsuccessful in prosecuting this case, Borah went on to a lengthy career in politics, serving six consecutive terms as U.S. Senator from Idaho. [Not in Miles. However, Miles 3626 lists a different, excerpted version of this publication.].
