The plea of a prisoner that he did not know
he was violating the law suggests that knowl-

a man into the right path. The law seldom
requires more than is required by good morals
and a respect for the rights Of others. Obedience
to those obligations makes minute examina-
ton OF the Penal Code unnecessary.

today said he had no direct answer,
but as a result of the letter. Simpiins

said Haywood had sent him. Orchard

the money came from.

strength of nerve and muscle, weeks

day broke down, and for few mo-
ments wept like a child, his un.nerv-
ing came with the story of his con.
version and mention of King David.

supposed to be Orchards later guide.
The defense had given solemn
tone to the scene preceding the meet
ing between Orchard and Mcfarland
to whom he confessed, by showing
that Orchard was first Illegally
brought to the penitentiary and thrust
into almost solitary confinement, his
only cell neighbour being a condemn
ed murderer
Orchard recovered himself rapidly
and answered questions in his usual
even voice. The story was told to
the half hushed court room. the ST.
lence only being broken by the drone
Of Orchards voice.
Former Governor Peabody and Har.
ry Orchard met face to face this az.
ternoon. Orchard shrank back and
trembled. The former governor smil-
ingly held out his hand and said,
How are you, Orchard?'
Orchard broke down completely lie
