sary before gas explodes.
Orchard Recalled to the Stand.
Harry Orchard was next called to
the stand and examined regarding
statements made by some Of the Wit
.nesses for the defense.
The questions OF the state were few
and Orchard was turned over for
CROSSE s-examination in few moments.
The cross-examination was devoted
10 an inquiry into Orchards family
history 1t now being claimed that
strong evidence has been discovered
to show strong strain of insanity
on his maternal side.
Orchard denied all knowledge of a
grandfather named Patrick McKin-
ney., but did not know whether he
was insane or whether he committed
suicide
e. M. sabin. an attorney of Idaho
Springs, Colo, was the last witness of
the morning. He testified that De-
tective Lyte Gregory had been em-
ployed to get evidence in case of
conspiracy, growing out OF the attack
on the Sun and Moon mine.
The defense has claimed that Greg
ory had nothing to do with anything
in which the federation was inter-
ested
Richardson and Sabin were en-
gagged in trial of cases which grew
out of the Sun and Moon explosion in
Colorado in 1908, and today they en-
gagged in an interesting verbal duel
over whether the persons arrested for
! that crime and acquitted were really
/ guilty or not
Richardson drew out the fact that
at the time of the explosion Sabin
and eighty other members of the
Citizens Alliance were placed under
bonds to keep the peace.
The witness denied that for this
reason the federation men had been
prosecuted. A recess was taken be-
fore the cross-examlnation concluded

the defense has laid much stress. Ht

ground of immateriality.
