4. ORCHARD WAS At SALT lake
It Is Thought He Made the Bomb in
that City Which Was Used in
Numbering Ex-Governor
Stuenenberg.

Salt Lake, Utah, Jan. 9.-Harry Or
chard, suspected of completely in the
assassination of Ex-Governor Stuenen.
berg, arrived in Salt Lake on the day
before Thanksgiving, and registered at
the Cullen hotel. A few days after his
Arrival he met here Arthur Dolan,
whom he had known in the Cripple
Greek district during the 1904 troubles.
He took Thanksgiving dinner with
Dolan's family. Dolan was around
with him for two or three weeks. They
went hunting and fishing together.
Dolau does not know where Orchard
secured the fishing tackle, but Thiel
detectives are trying to ascertain if
what he used here correspond with that
found in Ex-Governor Stuenenberg'
yard after the assassination.
Although Orchard and Dolan were
much together, Orchard never invited
Dolan to his room. He spent much
time alone there, and the officers are
working on the theory that it was there
he manufactured the bomb. He would
always make appointments to meet
Dolan the barroom or elsewhere.
Whit Orchard much of the time was
a man whom Dolan does not known.
This man frequently played slough"
in parties with Dolan and Orchard, but
Dolan has not seen him since Orchard
left.
On December Is Orchard bought q
ticket to Spokane and paid S. extra for
the privilege of stopping over at Nam
pa. He also checked trunk to Nampa
Mr.. and Mrs. Dolan saw him check it.
He left here for the north on Deem
be1 ID.
Doaln says Orchard is not guilty of
the Indepenence dynamite outrage. He
says that for two days before the depot
at Independence was blown up Orchard
and another man had gone on a hunt
ing and fishing trip. Orchard is quite
we'll known in Salt Lake. He has
worked here at intervals for several
vars as teamster. When here in Nov
ember and December he seemed to have
no business or means Of support.
Orchard told Dolan he wss expecting
q letter from Spokane which, meant
considerable to him. The officers have
confidence in the theory that the bomb
was made in Orchards room at the
Cullen hotel.
