tcentinued from Page One.)

The Lie Is Passed. Attorney Richardson again began to Interrupt the replies of the witness to some of his questions and this brought out a protest from the prosecution.
 You must not litf the lid without expecting what is beneath to come out" taunted Senator Borah for the State.
 When I lift the lid I want 1t to come out" replied Richardson. Then after a moment he added; T know that this lid has been fixed up for us and whats beneath 1t is also fixed"
 Henley was on his feet in Jiffy.
 If you make a statement like that" shouted he to Richardson, you make . statement that is absolutely false"
 Proceed, gentlemen" called out Richardson did not reply to flaw ley, but took up the cross examination.
 Orchard said that he went to Den yer in 1903 on money supplied by De- tective Scott. It was the first time he had met Haywood and Mover. He had not heard of Pettibone up to this time Haywood and Mover told him when he introduced himself that they had heard of him.
 Orchard said that when he returned to Cripple Creek from Denver he re- ported to Detectives Scott and Sterling but did not tell them about his inter- view with Haywood and Mover.
 At this interview Mover and Hay wood had told him, Orchard said. to get busy at Cripple Creek and do what ever he could-that he could not go too far for them. Mover gave him $20 and Haywood said he could get more when ever he wanted it.
 Orchard was next told to describe ryaak k fror ~l1 Creek. which were to be thrown into the vtndicator coal bins. The witness said he stole the powder from a man named Charlie Perkins. He and Owney Barnes made the bombs in Barnes cabin.
 Barnes Grinned at Orchard.
 Then for second time during the day, Orchard was confronted with a prospective witness for the defense. Barnes was in the audience and was told to stand up. Orchard looked at him and once more, without hesita- tton. said That's the man with whom made the bombs" Barnes, a short heavy set man with large moustache, grinned and sat down.
 Orchard said no one told him to make these particular bombs-he did it in accordance with the understanding at the interview with Mover, Haywood and Easterly In Denver to go ahead and do what We could. He said he got &150 from Mover in Cripple Creek
 Richardson asked Orchard if Rail- road Detective Scott had notitold him that the company had arranged to stop train at certain curve, draw some spikes and charge an attempt at train-wrecking to the Western Fedora tion of Miners. Orchard denied that he had ever heard such a story.
 Did Scott ever give you a passport ha mi
 "No, sir. He told me if I ever got in trouble with the militia to let him know"
 Did you ever have any trouble with the soldiersg
 NO, sir
 Did the pickets or sentries ever stop your"
 NO. sir"
 You went where you pleased?
 "Yes, sir a,
 "And your house was never searched by the militia?'
 "No, sir"
 But the searching of houses was very general?'
 r'T understand so."
 Before returning to Cripple Creek in January, 1904, Orchard said Pettibone gave him several cans of "Pettibone dope" or Greek fire-enough to make four gallons. He was to throw 1t in cars where 'ScaDS were riQlnS ana down mine shafts. Orchard said he buried the dope" and never used it. After his arrest in Caldwell, he told Detective Mcfarland about the dope" and the latter, he heard. had dug 1t up. Orchard would not admit that the militia was searching each train at the time he took the dope" into the district.
 "You had no fear of being searchedY' suggested Richardson.
 T tried to keep away from the sol diers as much as possible"
 Orchard told of Mover coming to Cripple Creek for him soon after this.
 Mover wanted him to go along to Ouray and Silverton where the Tel luride miners. who had been deported by General Wells. of the Colorado militia, were gathered. Mover told him that the mine owners thugs had threatened to beat him up if they caught him outside of Denver.
 Orchard was to go along to help de- fend Mover In case of attack. Two sawed off shot guns were placed in their grips.
 Nothing happened on the trip to ouray and once there Mover was busy with the miners.
