PLOTS TO AssAssINATE.
Orchard Sought Lives OF Judges And
Governors.


Boise, Idaho (SpeciaD. - Harry
Orchard crowned his admission of
grave crimes Thursday when, con-
tinuing his case against William D.
Haywood, he made a detailed con-
fession of the murder of Frank
Steunenberg by an Internal machine
that directly opens the way for his
own conviction and execution for the
mortal offense.
He swore that the assassinations of
Steunenberg was first suggested by
Haywood was plotted by Haywood,
Meyer, Pettibone and himself, was
financed by Haywood, and was exc
cuted by himself after the failure of
an attempt in which Jack Simpkins
had participated.
Orchard lifted the total of his own
murdered victims to IS, detailed
the circumstances under which he
tried to murder former Governor
Peabody, Judge Goddard, Judge Cab
bert, General Sherman Bell, Dave
Moffatt and Frank Herne. Incident
ally he confessed to plan to kidnap
the child of one of his former asso-
ciates.
Raced To Deathtrap.
Then under cross-examination by
the defense Orchard confessed guilt
of the sordid social crimes of de-
serting his young child and wife in
Ontario, fleeing to British Columbia
with Hattie Simpson, the wife of an
other man, and committing bigany
by marrying a third woman at Grip
pie Creek.
Through the shocking details of
murder plots, stories of secret bomb
making and tales of man hunts with
sawed-off shotguns and Internal ma
chimes as weapons, the witness went
on in the same quiet, offhand manner
that marked his demeaor Wednesday.
His voice dropped to lower keys as
the pitiful story of the long hunt for
Steunenberg narrowed down to the
last day, and he told of the race from
the hotel to the home to beat his
victim with the death trap, and the
meeting in the evening gloom as the
victim walked unconsciously to his
doom. Through it all he WINGED but
once, and that was when the defense
made him name his six sisters and
his one brother and give their resi-
dences in Ontaro and New York.
Piece of Bomb in Court.
The defense fought the story with
a multiplicity of objections, and
succeeded in heading off an attempt
to tell the story of the murder of
Arthur Collins, at Telluride, and
temporarily shut out the contents
of a telegram received and a tele-
gram sent by Orchard after his ar
rest. Except for this the state man
aged to get in its story intact.
The state began its cOrroboration
of Orchards bloody story by pro-
ducing the lead casing of the Gov.
ernor Peabody bomb Orchard iden-
tilted It, swore that he brought IL
from Canyon City to Denver, and
then on to Wallace, where he gave
1t to a man named Cunningham. II
was thrown into the river and the
state promises later to prove its re-
covery.

 Thus it is all over the city building and improving has been and is going on and that too in spite of the very
 unfavorable and most unusual weather
 and crop prospects. The crowded
 conditions are such as makes it next
 to impossible to get worklnen of near
 ly any kind in Brinkley now. In com
 menting on. the great demand for builders and workmen, was remind ed of what some Of the saloon advo- cates urged when they were fighting
 for their retention in BrinkleY-they
 contendsd that tie saloons going out
 would kill business and force all of
 our worknen. carpenters. etc, into idleness. There's not man, woman or child in Bsinkley that will say that the saloon advocates told the truth. lit has been since saloons were voted cut that these thousands upon thous-
 allds of dollars of public and private i improvements have been made and
 with them all there is happy consola
 ton that there has been no blood
 money mixed up in the bunch of 1 prosperity that is and has teen ours
 since the crime breeding joints left
