Orchard defense targets mine owners conspiracy claim

In Boise on June 25 the defense led by Darrow presented witnesses to challenge the case against Harry Orchard. They argue a conspiracy among mine owners and detectives aimed to drive union labor from the field, contending many deaths were accidental and that Orchard acted as a manipulated figure in a broader plot spanning 1809 to 1905. The proceedings include impeachment efforts against Orchard and exploration of Cripple Creek ties with K. C. Sterling, chief detective of the Mine Owners' Association. The defense seeks to convict mine owners of murder at the Vindico or Mine and Independence depot but will argue the deaths were not Orchard’s sole responsibility. The session also covers Orchard’s claimed wrongs by Einenberg and threats against him.
