THE DETECTIVES STATEMENT.


 Denver, Feb. 20.-Regarding the all legged confession of Harry Orchard, Detective James Mcfarland today made the following statement: Harry Orchard, the man first arrested for the murder of former Governor Stuenen- berg, may have or may have not made a confession. I will not say whether or not he did make such a confession as is attributed to him. Numerous eff forts were made to intimidate the man into saying things against himself but l refused to allow this.
 Thirty murders in all I charge to Mover Haywood and Pettibone. Every one, whether it was in Colorado, since the labor troubles began at Telluride less tha-2 five Xears-ago, or. whether-i it Followed in other states the troubles inthis state, was planned and execut- ed by the fiert at the Ghead of this organization"
 The confession of Orchard contains so many sensational statements that it was deemed best to investigate them as far as possible before ordering the extradition of Mover, Haywood and Pettibone. and It was only after such investigation the Colorado authorities state, that it was decided to honor the requisltion of governor of Idaho.
 The bomb that was intended to kill Justice Luther NJ Goddard of the su- preme court of Colorado, it is believed was dug up last Thursday by Adjutant General Buckley Wells and two detec- tives, 1t being found e the exact spot near the front of the gate to the judges residence where Orchard said it was placed last May.

SAYS HE
WAS BEATEN
IN JAIL
ILLADIO GONSALVES WITH
DRAWS CONFESSION AND AC-
CUSES PRISON GUARDS OF
CRUELTY

! Illadio Gonsalves did not plea guilty
of murder in the second degree this
morning. Instead he declared that he
wanted to stand trial and that the rea-
son he had confessed murder and ask
ed to be allowed to plead guilty was
that he had been severely beaten and
kicked in Jail, and thought that h.
pleading guilty and being sentenced he
would get out Of his murder RS cell
and have a chance for medical treat
ment. He charges prison guards with
the beating.
Gonsalves is alleged to have stabbed
another Porto Rican in the back with
large dirk. Several days ago he
made full confession, in the presence
of several prison officials, including
High Sheriff Henry, and Chester Doyle.
He said he wanted to save his neck by
taking a sentence for murder in the
second degree, also that he wanted to
begin serving his time at once. His
attorney, L. NJ. Strauss was sent for
accordingly and it was arranged that
the matter should be taken up this
morning.
After seeing his attorney, however
IOISdlNeS JoOh d very ullleIeuI view oL
his case. At a meeting with Strauss
and Deputy Attorney General Fleming
Gonsalves told his story of having been
beaten in the Jail
Gonsalves is claimed to be crazy.
The beatings, he says, were given him
when he hollered. 1t appears that he
has or pretends to have, spells during
which he does a lot of yelling and he
declares that his whole body is sore
as a result of the beatings.
After the conference Gonsalves went
back to Jail without the matter being
brought up i'm court at all, and Strauss
announced his intention to move for
an immediate trial of the case.
