STEVE ADAMS coNFEssEs INNER
CIRCLE CRIMES.
C0RR0BORATlNG ORCHARD
Written and Signed Confession Gives
Details Of Many Murders-TeIls
Secret Workings OF the Western
Federation

Boise, Idaho.-The Statesman prints
the following:
TT Statesman is authorized to an
nounce that Steve Adams, arrested at
Haines, Oregon, on February Goth, in
connection with the Steunenberg as
sassination, has made full and sweep
ing confession.
This second confession is far more
important than that made by Harry
Orchard. This is the statement made
by James Mcfarland, the Pinkerton de-
tective last evening. in the presence
of Governor Gooding and J. II. Haw-
ley, who is in charge of the prosecu-
.tiOn.
'Mr. MCFARLAND added that Adams
confession fully and exactly corrob-
GRATED that made by Orchard at every
point touched on by both.
Moreover. Mcfarland continued,
Adams knows far more of the work
inss of the inner circle than Orchard
did. and was able to give mass of de-
tailed information that Orchards con-
fession did not cover. The confession
of Adams, he said corroborated that
given by Orchard on every substantial
point connected with the assassination
of Governor Steunenberg. Adams,
however, was not at Caldwell at the
time of the assassination, nor was Or
chard at the time of the Unsuccessful
effort in November. The man who as
sisted Orchard on the latter occasion,
as set forth in Orchards confession.
was Jack Simpkins.
Still another statement made by the
detective was that the Adams confess
sion gave the details of large num-
Der of murders that were not referred
to in any manner by Orchard. 1t was
further stated that the confession had
been reduced to writing. signed and
acknowledged. 1t was yoluminous
document. covering a greater field and
in more detail than was made by Or
chard. The further statement was
made that Adams had made this con-
fession without being promised any
thing. When talked with about the
matter he simply made clean breast
of all he knew of this case and of the
secret workings of the Western FEEDER.
alton.
1T was announced by the governor.
Mr.. Hawley and Mr.. Mcfarland that.
while they thought these facts should
be made public. there would be no
further information given out or
hinted at respecting this confession.

MOSCOW.

to death by Cossacks, beautiful girl

head on Monday attempted to assas-

Der of the council of the empire.
The girls beauty, by which she eN-
pected TO take her victim unawares,

object. IT, Cossack on guarl imme-

When the Cossack remarked in com

hair the girl turned pale AID then in
continently fled.
She was pursued. and from her
pretty black hair was raken the dead
liest kind of little bomb. The girls
guilty conscience led her to believe
herself discovered when the Cossack
referred to her tresses. The bomb was
cleverly hidden in such manner that
the girl had only to gain an audience
with Doubasoff and then putting her
hand in her hair in a most natural
manner fling the deadly weapon at the
governor general.
When she was Cvertaken she at
tempted to take her own life, but the
poinard was wrenched from her hands.
She was taken before the vice admiral.
who asked her kindly why she desired
to kill him, but she looked at him with
the wide open innocent eyes Of babe,
and would make no reply. The vice ad-
miral remanded her to prison, but
gave orders she should be consider
ately treated. 1t is hoped to establish
her identity with certain terrorist
bands.
The girl. like the one who met her
death after trying to kill Vice Admiral
