Ileye Bomb Was Made Here.
From developments today in the
Harry Orchard case, Salt Lake is going
10 contribute only a very little towards
proying his completely in the Steunen-
berg assassination. Orchard may have
killed Idaho's governor In justice to
him il must be said that he is much
maligned person In this section Of the
country. and that the red headline ex-
ploitatlons which weave a fabric Of cir
cumstantal evidence around him, indi-
eating guilt, are built ON fiction
To make a case against orchard, the
supposltlon has been that since he was
arrested In Idaho. and held for the
murder and was found to have come
from Salt Lake, he must have built the
bomb here II II was he who built It.
The police have worked on this theory
and today announce that they find alb
solutely nothing to warrant conclu-
sion that Orchard worked in the bomb
business here, or had secret compan-
ions, or was in any way mysterious
about the location OF his room, or his
Whereabouts. At least one man has
been found who declares he was in his
room often, and was with him almost
every day. and that he did nothing UNI
lawful or Suspicious during his sojourn
here,

supposition that Orchard built the
bomb here, put 1t In the trunk, and
shipped Il to Idaho. Orchard brought
the trunk from Denver and allowed II
