Direct Charge a Subterfuge.

A dispatch from Denver last night says:
publication was made Of the complaints on
which Gov Gooding of Idaho asked extra
dtions for Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone
IL appears that the men We're charged di-
rectly with the murder of former Gov
Frank Steunenberg of Idaho.
The complaints in the three cases arc
Identical. and charge the accused men with
having discharged the bomb by means of
which Steunenberg was killed at Caldwell,
Idaho, on December 80. 1905. The specific
charge OF murder was made to forestaIl
habeas corpus proceedings, but no attempt
Will be made to prove that they were in
Idaho at the time Of the commission of the
crime 1t is alleged, however, that they
conspired with others to murder Steunen-
berg, and furnished funds TO carry out the
plot.
The atrocious, unsolved murders commit
ted during the labor troubles in the Grip
pie Creek and the Telluride regions of Col
orado and In the Occur d'Alene region of
Idaho, together with the recent Steunen-
berg assassination, form a chain of crimes
with which efforts are being made 10 con-
meet the officials of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners through the confession said
TO have ben made by Harry Orchard, who
is IN Jail charged with the Steunenberg
murder.
Men Marked for Death.
Orchards alleged confession 1t is assert
ed. disclosed a plot to kill former Gov
Il.
Gabbert chief justice of the Colorado su-
preme court, and John Campbell, former
chief justice. Orchard is said to have con-
fessed that wholesale assassinations were
planned at the headquarters of the West
ern Federation of Miners in Denver, chiefly
by refugees from the camps at Cripple
Creek and Telluride. 1t Is also said that
Orchards confession gives history of the
explosion at the Independence station, near
Cripple Creek on June g. 1901 when a
number of were killed.
Gov Mcdonald. who issued papers for
the eNtradition of the federatie officers to
Idaho said that he had read copy of Or
chards alleged confession, but was not at
liberty to divulge its contents.
was employed by the Idaho authorities in
the Steunenberg case declared that the evil
dence against the men who have thus far
been arrested is strong. He would not
state the nature of the evidence or how 1t
was obtained.
Burke, Idaho, was president of the miners
union at Telluride, Col, at the time of the
assassination of Arthur Collins, superin-
teEdent of the Smuggler Union mine at that
CAMP He was arrested and charged with
completely in that murder, but was never
brought to trial.
Information from Cripple Creek says that
Edward Green a union miner, had been ar
rested on a warrant forwarded by Idaho
authorities charging him with connection in
the Steunenberg assassination. Two other
warrants are in the hands of Cripple Creek
officers for service.
George A Pettfbone was connected with
the Occur Alene riots In 1892 and was
one of five men sentenced to prison in De-
troit for a year for violation of the injunc-

SUMMER RESORTS TO LET.
CRIME RESULT OF PLOT
CONFESSION OF MAN
WHO SLEW STEUNENBERG.

The alleged confession Of Harry Orchard,
in jail at Boise, Idaho, charged with the
crime, purports to give the details of the
plot to assassinate former Gov. Steunen-
berg, from its inception. Since the con-
fession was secured more than two weeks
ago detectives have verified many, of the
details. The arrest at Denver, Col, late
Saturday night, of Charles H. Meyer, presi-
dent, and William D. Haywood, secretary
and treasurer of the Western Federation of
Miners. and G. A. Pettibone, q former
member of the executive board of that or
ganization, on charge of completely in the
Steunenberg murder, was due to Orchard $
alleged confession.
Alone in Steunenberg Murder
Orchard says he was alone In the actual
execution of the Caldwell idaho plot; that
he had first planned to shoot Steunenberg
with buckshot, and went to the house on
Christmas eve for that purpose, intending
to shoot through the window, but aban-
doned the plan and hid number of cart
ridges under the sidewalk. The cartridges,
Ii is said, have since been found by officers
Orchard, it is said, duplicates Jack Simp-
kins and a man named Adams In the Steus
nenberg conspiracy. Officers are searching
for both these men in Oregon. Steunenberg
was killed by dynamite bomb
In this confession Orchard telling of his
selection to assassinate a justice of the
supreme court of Colorado year ago says
he buried bomb at the judges gate but
when he pulled the string the contrivance
failed to explode. He took the string away
and gave up the attempt. A detective has
1t Is said, since dug up the bomb Orchard S
confession, 1t is said was committed to
writing and signed by Orchard in the pres
ence of witnesses.
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone arrived at
Boise from Denver yesterday in custody of
a strong guard of Colorado and Idaho Of
ficers. The prisoners We're taken directly
to the Idaho penitentiary, and no interview
with any member of the party was per-
mitted.
Gov. Gooding says Orchards entire con-
fession can be made public soon. He says
it dfscloses conditions perhaps never equaled
in this country.

NESBITT AFFIDAVIT
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE
DOESN'T WANT 1T.
In Fact the Assistant Says There Is
Doubt as to Whether Such an Aft
davit Ever Existed - 1t Has Not
Been Found. wv

New York, July 5.-Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Garvan said today that
there was no truth in the story which
had gained wide circulation to the eff
feet that the district attorneys Office
expected to come into possession of
an affidavit said to have been made
by Mrs. Thaw before her marriage
in the action she is said to have con-
templated against Harry Thaw.
Garvan said that there had been all
sorts of rumors to the extent of such
an affidavit, but that the district at
torney's office had been unable to find
any trace of any such paper or any
reason to believe that 1t existed.
