Tells Of Finding Goddard Bomb.

Boise, Idaho, June 81. - The state
yesterday made dramatic production
and proof of the Goddard bomb, and
besides offering further corrobora-
ton of the testimony of Harry Or
chard against William d. Haywood,
secured a ruling under which a num-
Der of denunciatory articles published
in the Miners Magazine, official organ
OF the Western Federation of Miners
will be admitted in evidence.
To Justice Luther M. Goddard him
self fell the task of telling the story
Of the finding and preservation for use
as evidence of the bomb with which
Orchard tried to kill him.
Adds Another Thrill.
His appearance on the stand added
another to the many dramatic scenes
that have characterized the trial. and
his testimony was clear and minutely
circumstantial. The veteran Colorado
jurist testified that the first informa-
tion that ne received about the bomb
came to him from Orchards confess
sion, which was shown to him at Den
yer on Feb. Is. 1906, by Detective Nc
Parland. He at once returned to his
home and in his gate discovered the
screw eyes which Orchard said he
placed there.
Bomb Is Preserved.
The bomb vas dug up the next day
by Gen. Bulkely Wells, and with its
attachment was taken to the office of
the Pinkerton detective agency and
carefully sealed in wrappers and en-
velopes that were signed by half q
dozen witnesses, including Justice

Rules AGAINST Defense.

The defense objected to all the evil
dence and all the exhibits, and moved
to strike out everything, but the court
ruled against them.
Mrs. Seward, at whose house in San
Francisco Harry Orchard lived during
part of the time he was conducting his
operations against Fred Bradley, gave
testimony strongly co~rroborative OF
Orchards account of his acts and ex-
periences in San Francisco.

Makes Eloquent Plea.

Attorney X F. Richardson made the
principal argument In support of the
motion in a long. carefully prepared
and eloquent address.
He took for his guide the Idaho stat.
ute that forbids conviction upon the
uncorroborated testimony OF an accom-.
plice, and quoting authorities In sup
port of his contention that there must
be convincing corroboration entirely
independent of the testimony Of the
accomplice, made an analysis OF all
the testimony offered. He declared
that none of the testimony could stand
without the support Of Orchards story
and that the statute specifically for.
babe it's acceptance under these cir
cumstances.
Statute Forbids Conviction.
He also argued that the testimony
of Orchard was the only showing that
in any way connected Haywood with
the crime and that the statute forbade
conviction under these circumstances.
Senator Borah, who spoke for the
state, argued with like force and elo.
quence that Haywood's connection has
been independently shown, and that
Orchards testimony has been corrobo-
rated by Independent circumstances

DIRECTED VERDICT OF AcoUIT.

COURT.
Defense MAKES STRONG PLEA
PROSECUTION CLOSES ITS CASE
AGAINST WILLIAM D. HAY
WOOD.

Boise, Idaho, June 20.-"he prosecu-
ton in the S~teunenberg murder trial
| offered one of its most imp-~tant
| pieces of evidence against William D..
| Haywood yesterday, when, recalling
| Harry Orchard for redirect eXamina-
ton. it introduced and secured the adj
mission of tour letters tending TO show
that Haywood during the fall of 1905.
when Orchard swears he was engaged
on various crimes for the federation
leaders, had participated in a plan to
deceive Mrs. Orchard, the second, OF
Cripple Greek. as to the whereabouts
of her husband.
Letters Falsely Dated.
Over a variety of protests from the
defense Orchard was allowed to testi-
fy that early in the summer of 1905
Haywood told him that Mrs. Orchard
was writing him for information as to
Orchards whereabouts. Orchard swore
that he proposed that he should write
his wife a series of letters that were
to be falsely dated and delivered to
Mrs. Orchard by agents of the fedora
ton.
The letters written by Orchard were
commonplace and contained practical
ly nothing bearing on the case or Or
chard's testimony, except references
to the arrangement which Orchard
says he made with the federation Of
ficials for the care of his wife while
he was absent.
To Show Conspiracy.
The state developed its contention
that, as tending to show a conspiracy
and knowledge of the Steunenberg
crime, Orchard was, without any re-
quest from him, furnished with oun
sci within a few days after mis- arrest.
The defense examined Orchard on
this subject and largely devoted itself
to showing that the Western Fedora
ton of Miners always provided counsel
for it's members wherever and when
ever they got into trouble.
To combat the theory that Orchard
killed St%eunenberg in revenge for his
loss of a
Valuable interest
in the Hercules mine, the state on re-
direct examination obtained from Or
chard a declaration that he sold his in
terest in t. Hercules in 1897, two
years before the strike and troops
came.
There was a long contest owe an
unsuccessful effort by the state to
show that the confession of Steve
Adams had been voluntary.
Bryce Is Called.
Ed Bryce, once president Of the
Western Federation OF Miners, and
now one of the owners of the rich
Hercules mine, came after Orchard
and was still on the stand when the
court rose for the day. He was called
to identify the Miners Magazine as
the official organ of the federation and
to pave the way for the use as evil
dence of a great number of articles
from the magazine.

the state will to-day close its case

Clarence Darrow of the defense took

C~orroborates Orchard.
It is now anticipated that the state
will close by noon; that the afternoon
session will be devoted to argument OF
the expected motion of the defense,
and if the court rules adversely on the
motion, the opening statement in be-
half of Haywood will be made by Mr..
Darrow on Saturday.
The prosecution succeeded yester-
day in again showing a direct connec-
ton with the store of George Petit
bone in Denver and Harry Orchard at
work on the Bradley crime in San
Francisco, and promised to make the
connection with Pettibone personally
by handwriting experts who will be
called to-day.

ARGUES AGAINST 2-CENT RATE.
Pennsy Vice President Says lower
Rates Would Have to Be Raised.

HARRISBURG, Pa, February 27.-John
B. Thayer, fourth vice president Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, appeared
before the senate railroad committee yes
terday in opposition to the bill fixing cents
a mile as the maximum rate for passenger
fares and made the statement that If the
bill becomes a law and Is declared constitu-
tional the Pennsylvania railroad would have
to readjust all fares now less than 2 cents
of excursion and other special rates and the
discontinuance or raising of Communication
rates.
In making this statement Mr.. Thayer
said he did not wish the committee to think
wanted it to be understood that If the bill
becomes law the railroad company would
have to readjust the low rates to earn a
fair profit. The reduction of the companys
maximum rate to 2 cents without a corre-
spending advance in fares below that
amount would, he said, result In reduc-
ton in the company's net passenger earn
ings of 10000 600 year, or 5531 per cent.
In addition to the adjustment of rates,
Mr.. Thayer said the company would be
compelled to materially reduce the charac-
ter Of it's service: many trains now profit
able would have to be withdrawn and the
its coat according to its CLOTH"
Mr.. Thayer called attention to the in
crease in the cost of operating a railroad,
such as wages. which were recently adj
vanced, and the higher price of all kinds
of material The cost of passenger coaches,
he said, had increased 80 per cent within
the last five years.

DENATUR1Na OF ALCOHOL.
Proposed to Allow Farmers to Erect
Distilleries..

Senator Hansbrough today reported from
the committee on finance the House bill
amending the denatured alcohol act so as to
afford an opportunity to combinations of
farmers and others to erect small independ-
ent distilleries for the sole purpose Of max
ing alcohol to be denatured. An amend
ment was adopted by the Senate committee
which will require that at each Of the indie
pendent distilleries established under the
denatured alcohol act there must be sta
toned a government storekeeper, who will
superintend the denaturing process. An
other amendment in the interest Of tobacco
manufacturers provides that rum of not less
than $50 degrees proof may be withdrawn
from bond for denaturation only.
When the bill was reported Senator Hans
brough asked that it be given immediate
consideration, but objection was made by
Senator Cullom. Mr.. Hansbrough then
moved that the bill be made the unfinished
business, but after discussion on the floor
he withdrew the request, saying that he
would renew 1t later.
