have spoken as follows regarding the
meat market of the country:
General business exI ansion has been

Hartford, Conn, June PA pas
senger train on the Highland division

Hartford railroad crashed into the rear

killing eight workmen and injuring
more than forty.
In one instance it took an hour and
a half to rescue one workman who
was pinned between the trucks. His
head was hanging down backward and
he suffered severely, but the rescuers
encouraged him while doctors reached
between the framework that held him
prisoner and treated the wounds on
his face and head.
There are three un6fficial versions
OF the cause of the wreck. One Is that
the passenger train for New Britain
went out on wrong track. The sec
ond Is that the work train had the
right OF way until o'clock and should
have had a clear track, but thai the
passenger train was ahead of time.
The third is that the work train
opened a switch and failed to close It..
The engineer of the work train claims
that he had the right Of way and his
statements are borne out by others on
his train.

they were following certain historic

even IL carried, would not have the
effect of law or procure the desired

the government would exercise its

INSPIRED THE CRIME
Mine Owners Accused Of Causing
independence Tragedy.
ORCHARD SOUGHT REVENGE
5ismed Former Governor Steunenbere
for the Loss of His Interest
In the Hercules Mine.

Boise, Ida, June 26.-The first di
rect testimony offered in defense OF
William ID. Haywood was chiefly di'
rected toward showing that Harry c..
chard, blaming Frank Steunenber
for the loss OF his interest in t."
Hercules mine, had threatened t
have revenge by killing him a. nj
the conduct OF Orchard and :. &
Sterling both before the Indepead9..t
explosion, when they were frequent
seen together, end afterwards, whe1
Sterling called off a bloodhound tina,
was following Orchards trail, justi-
fed the inference that the mine own
ers inspired the crime.
The calling of the first witness for
the defense was preceded by further
examination of Orchard to permit the
defense to complete it's formal i'm
peaching questions. These questions
were nearly all in connection with the
claim that Orchard killed Steunenberg
because of an alleged grudge growing
out of the sale of his interest in the
Hercules mine. Orchard, who came
into court under protection Of the
aging squadron Of guards that al
ways acts as his escort, maintained
his old calmness and spoke In the
low, soft tone. He again denied that
he ever threatened to kill Steunen-
berg because of the Hercules mine af
fair and again asserted that he sold
his interest in the mine two years be-
fore the trouble that drove him out of
Northern Idaho.
Orchard Made Threats.
Two witnesses called later in the
day swore that Orchard did threaten
Steunenberg because of the Hercules
matter and the defense has prepared
the way for such testimony from a
dozen more witnesses. The two wit
nesses who testified were F: r. Redd,
once of Cripple Creek and now of
Goldfeld, New, and the other Charles
A. Sullivan, formerly of Cripple
! Greek and now a Waterman In the
Brown hotel in Denver.
Redd said he heard Orchard make
the threat in the miners hall In Grip
pie Creek and Sullivan swore that
while he and Orchard were fellow
boarders at John Neville's place In
Cripple Creek, Orchard repeatedly
said that but for Steunenberg he
would be rich man and that he in,
tended to kill him. The cross-exami-
nation showed that both were mem
bers of the Western Federation of
Miners and that Sullivan was friend
OF Haywood, Meyer and many of the
union leaders at Cripple Creek.
Dr. I. l.. MCGEE, mining broker of
the Couer d'Alenes, another impeach-
ing witness, swore that Orchard told
him In 1904 at Wallace, Ida, that he
was 'spotter" for a detective agency.
OrcnarerEenied this conversation; de-
MED that he was in Idaho at any time
In 1904.
