ton. Then MCFARLAND came UP one
day and tried to engage him in con-
versation. Much as Orchard wanted
to talk to some one. he wouldn't talk
10 MCFARLAND, more than to say that
he supposed he was some cheap detec-
tive who was trying to get something
on him. MCFARLAND did not stay long.
The next day he came again. Orchard
still would not talk much to him, much
as he wanted 10 talk TO some one
Mcfarland said TO him, Orchard.
you we're brought up by religious
parents 1t was a mere venture,
though 1t proved true. Mcfarland
followed this up by telling him that
they had evidence enough TO hang him;
that he was a mere tool being used by
others, and that he ought 10 square
himself by telling him all he knew.
MCFARLAND talked with him about re-
ligion.
The next day MCFARLAND told Or
chard who he was. Orchard said he
had heard of him and had always heard
he was square. Orchard, however
said. How do know you are McPar-
land, and not some cheap detective
they have sent here?' MCFARLAND said
he did not know how he could satisfy
him of his identity. Suddenly Orchards
noticing that Mcfarland wore an Elks
badge, said that If he were an Elk ne
would carry a card Of identification.
Mcfarland said yes, that was SO, ana
at once produced his card, and Orchard
said he was satisfied. He said that ne
would talk the next day if Mcfarland
would have the guard taken away. On
consultation with the Governor this
was done, and Orchard had the first
eood nights sleep that he had had
since he was put in the cell.
The next day MCFARLAND came
again. and the confession began. II
extended over days We verified it as
we went along where we could. AT
first we had doubts OF IT. But the in
rernal proof of it kept increasing or
course. he told us a great deal that
did not come out in evidence, that was
not admissible as evidence, because
hearsay. But he told US the truth, He
cleared up the mystery that surround
ed a large number Of deaths.
cit was months, however, before he
told US about his early life, who he
was and where he had come from. FL
fnaIly, as the trial approached, he ask
/ ed me If the defense would have TIE
fright on cross -examination to ask him
about his past life, who his parents
were. and that sort OF thing2 I told
him they would. He said, That hurts
! me more than anything else.
How was the connection of Hay
wood with the murder Of Steunenberg
shown?"
by a thousand triviadties,' re-
plied Mr.. Havgley. There was no Que
circumstance or set Of circumstances
that stood out from the rest that es-
| tablished It. But there were a multi
tude of incidents and facts that to-
gether made il as certain as anythfnA
human can be that he was party to
the murder.
| The verdict was q surprise 10 every
one. The defense only hoped for

second or third degree.
There was very strong 1eehns
