Clarence Darrow wrapped up a dramatic appeal arguing the mineowners bore full responsibility for the Colorado troubles. He contends Pettibone was not a federation officer but a friend to Orchard, and that Orchard’s version of the Bradley explosion is false. He notes Adams is indicted for murder, Moyer was called to counter Orchard’s story, and the two explosions are not supported by witnesses. In Detroit, Michigan, State Rep Charles E Ward faces a manslaughter warrant linked to Edith Presley’s death during an operation.
