and might penetrate to the castle, and
thus warn her prospective victim. Hold
ing the candle on high. she dimly saw
two flights of steps leading spiraliy uD-

the utmost care she prepared to cross
the chamber. She was already almost
in the center of the cavern when q

overhead arrested her attention She

at her very feet a dark and dreadful

grating sound she had heard at first
then a leaden silence and an awful gloom
that weighed upon the senses like a pail
Desire felt by instinct that she was not

HAD ORCHARD
ON THEIR LIST
Inner Circle We're to
Put Him Out of
Way
BY w. G, MacRae.

Boise, Idaho, March 7.-Assassinat-
ing those whose hands were against the
Western Federation Of Miners, and
those who refused to join the associa-
ton. are not the only crimes for which
the members Of the inner circle will be
called upon to answer. Not only were
nonunion miners murdered outright,
bombs placed for state officials. but the
poor tools who committed the revolving
crimes for the inner circle were them
selves victims of this committee Of
death.
Harry Orchard was among the tools
Of the inner circle marked for destruc-
ton. Had he managed to have escaped
arrest after having assassinated ex-
Governor Steunenberg, he would not
have lived long to enjoy the $1,000 he
was to have received for doing the job
7 Orchard Under Suspicion.
The confession of Steve Adams, 1t Is
said, shows that the members of the
inner circle were suspicious Of Or
chard, and that he had been Swallowed
for long time before he went to Cald-
well for the purpose of placing the
bomb which killed Ex-Governor
Steunenberg. Sentence had been
passed upon him. and it is said that
whether he succeeded, as he did. or
failed, he would have been added to
the list Of the tools that have been put
out Of the way.
Crtrnoa within rrf VIC tho
tenn which the inner circle carried out.
When dupes Of the inner circle had
performed 80 many deeds for the in
ner circle that they knew too much
they were quietly gotten out Of the
way, and 1t is believed that the confess
this.
Knew Too Many Secrets.
Orchard had reached the point where
he knew too much for the peace of
mind Of the members of the inner cir
Gle. and he, like others, was slated
for destruction. Only roundabout in
timations of these facts have leaked
out so far. An effort to confirm the
truth Of these statements and obtain
the names Of some Of the dupes Of this
Infamous circle who have been MUIR
dered and never were heard Of again.
failed tonight.
An official who has been foremost in
running down the minor criminals was
asked for a confirmation. but beyond
saying "Oh, yes; such a thing is pos
.3tlo he would neither denv nor con /.
firm the story.
It is not believed that Orchard knew
he was under suspicion, but there IL
every reason to conjecture that in his
confession he stated that he feared
death at the hands Of those by whom
he was employed. Undoubtedly, it was
through Adams that the authorities
learned that Orchard was to have been
murdered.
