w orthless Money.

Worthless Money.
| You just gave the farmers a piece of
worthless paper and took their money!"
| Yes sir
Orchard said he made a great deal of
| money out of the scheme.
The plan to blow up Peabody with a
| bomb had been abandoned in the mean
| time.
| "'Why?"- he was asked
Because Peabody had stopped sitting by
| the window
Richardson tried to get the exact dates
| of Orchards travels while in the hail in
| surance business, and being unsuccessful
| he turned impatiently upon the witness and
demanded for the third time in the long
! cross examinations:
| Who told you not to let me pin you down
| to any place date?'
| Nobody" shouted Orchard in return.
| Question of Veracity.
Attorneys Hawley and Borah. for the
state. laughed heartily at Richardson's
| seeming discontinue
| ''Who told you to always tell me you are
telling the TRUTH" next demanded theeirate
| attorney.
Mr.. Mcfarland, Mr.. Hawley and Mr..
| Borah all told me to tell nothing but the
truth
| .'Ha ha." cried Richardson. They told
you to tell me you are telling the truth?'
| NO, SIT, replied NTcildTu, pOSltNelS
| They told to tell the truth, not to tell
| you that / was telling it
Then why do you keep on telling me?"
| shouted Richardson.
! Because you try to make it appear that
I am not telling the truth
| You are under oath, aren't you?"
| Yes, sir"
Respects His Oath.
! And you respect that oath?'
| Yes, sir
Well, what are you kicking about?"
TN not Kicking said Orchard with
| exasperating calmness.
BY the way" questioned Richardson
| anew "haye you seen Mcfarland this
morning.
| NO SIR
See him last night?''
| NO sir
Did you him night before last? 1
forgot to ask you yesterday"
| Tuesday night? NO, sir"
Orchard said he had seen Mcfarland at
! Attorney Hawley's office yesterday morn
ing for few minutes.
The witness said that when the hail in
! Surance business gave out he returned to
Denver and went to work on Judges Cab
bert and Goddard. Orchard said that Pet
! tibone had agents out in the country So
| Letting orders for his house specialties-
| etc.
These men sometimes solicited life insur-
| ance
Several times during the cross-exami-
| nation Richardson said to Orchard:
| Let's take the lid off this"
The attorney had been tainted by Sem
| ator Borah several days ago for taking
the lid off, and getting what ne did not
| want
Orchard said he talked with Pettibone
| about the Goddard and Gabbert nffair
in the basement of the Pettibone store.
| Ihls basement was a repair shop
where Pettibone and his employees often
worked, wasn't it?' asked Richardson.
| Yes, sir
And there was nothing suspicious
| about it?"
There was tin box which did not
| look good to me-
Well. what was in the tin box? Let's
| take the lid off that too"
You seem to have lid on the BRAIN"
| chimed in Senator Rorah but Richardson's
did not heed the sally.
Orchard said he did not know ali that
| was in the box. He had seen some of
| the things that We're in it, The matter
| was dropped.
The Afternoon Session Yesterday.
At the afternoon session yesterday Rich
| ardson asked Orchard a long series of
questions as to where and how much
Billy Alderman paid to have his teeth
fixed. The witness declared he did hot
| know whether Alderman had his teeth fix
| ed at dental college or not. He said he
| knew Alderman got money to have his
| teeth attended to and spent most Of It, It
was presumed to be Richardson's purpose
to show that Orchard Adams and Acker-
man had little money the winter Of 1904
'O5. After exhaustiIg the subject Of Acker-
mans teeth Richardson returned to the
| Peabody case. He carefully carried the wit
ness over the planting or the first bomb In
the snow at 18th street and Grant avenue.
| This was about January 1, 1905.
Orchard denied he was In plot to trap
Max Malich into committing the murder
Orchard also denied that he offered for 800
| to murder business rival Of Malich named
| Mcdaniel
The first bomb was placed about O. clock
| in the morning by Steve Adams and Or
| chard. They drove in q livery t1Rp to the
corner and Orchard planted the bomb
