The order overruling the bill of ex-

QUESTION OF LAW IS RAISED.
Circuit Court Of Appeals Hears Arsu

st. Paul, June 9.-Argument was be.

the writ of error sued out by the
Great Northern Railway company, fol-

granting of rebates. The trial of the
case was had in the district court at
Minneapolis, Judge Page Morris sit

fined $4,000.
This hearing is of Importance be.
cause on its final determination hinges
the question whether the railroads can
be prosecuted for violations of the
Elkins act, such violations having been
committed prior to the enactment of
the Hepburn act in 1906, and no prose.
cution having been started until after
the Hepburn act went into effect. At
torneys for the railroad company con-
tend that the Hepburn act gives all
railroads clean bill of health, so far
as rebates are concerned, up to the
time that act went into effect, except
as to causes which were pending in
courts of the United States at the time
the Hepburn act went into effect on
June 20, 1906.
The contention of the government is
that the conviction of the Great North
ern was secured on the theory that
the Hepburn act was not intended to
and does not remit offenses committed
prior to it's enactment.

Tells Of stuenenbere Murder.

Boise, Idaho, June 8. - Harry Or
chard crowned his admissions of grave
crimes yesterday when continuing his
case against William D. Haywood he
made an explicitly detailed confession
of the murder of Frank Steunenberg
by an Internal machine. This confess
sion opens the way for his own convic-
ton and execution for the offense. He
swore that the assassination of Steu-
nenberg was first suggested by Hay
wood, was jointly plotted by Haywood,
Meyer, Pettibone and himself, was
financed by Haywood and was exc
cuted by himself after the failure of an
attempt in which Jack Simpkins had
participated.
Victims Number Eighteen.
Orchard increased the total of his
own murdered victims to eighteen, de-
tailed the circumstances under which
he tried to murder Former Governor
Peabody, Judge Goddard, Judge Cab
bert, Gen. Sherman Bell, Dave Moffat
and Frank Herne. incidentally he
confessed to plot to kidnap the child
of one of his former associates. Then
under cross-examination by the de-
tense Orchard confessed to the guilt
of sordid social crimes, of deserving
his young child and wife in Ontario,
fleeing to British Columbia with Hat
tie Simpson, the wife of another man,
and committing bigamy by marrying
third woman at Cripple Creek.

SUSuoUt SbVCu GUdu0 SCUutUAs
Boise, Idaho, June 9. - Counsel for
William D. Haywood continued their
attack on the testimony of Harry Or
chard at both sessions of the trial yes
terday. To the extent that traffic with
"the other side" in the war of labor
and capital in Colorado was discredita-
BILE, they succeeded in discrediting
the witness.
Employed by Detective.
Taking up the admission that Or
card made on direct examination that
he has been treacherous to his COM
rades in Cripple Creek by tipping off
train wrecking plot, they developed
the fact that Orchard had entered the
employ of D. c. Scott, who had charge
of the railway detectives. He said
that he had agreed to report to Scott,
but that he was lying to him, never in.
tending to make reports to him and
never did make reports.
The defense also tried to show that
because he stood in with the other
side Orchard was never molested by
tho militia in Cripple Creek during the
strike.
More Grimes Admitted.
Orchard admitted that Scott had
told him that if the militia interfered
with him he was to send for him. and
that the militia never did interfere
with him or search his house.
More crimes great and email uoro
admitted by Orchard yesterday. The
Cripple Creek woman with whom he
committed bigamy had three sons; Or
chard stole high grade ore from a
messmate; he stole two cases of pow
der from the indicator mine; he stole
powder to make one of the bombs
thrown into the Vindicator coal pile
and he told lie.
Orchard stood the test and strain

he related yesterday and the day be.

Depends on County Line.

There seems now to be no doubt of
the fact that Secretary of State Phil

The line is being run by L. w. Rob.

by Governor Terrell to do the work.
He has run line that puts more

Johnson.
Laurens' representatives in the sur

followed the line as described in the
act. He has consented to run a line
according to their contention If hG
accepts this line, which has been &C.
cepted as being correct for more
than ninety years, the matter will end.
II he insists that the line he has run
is not correct, a fight will be made be-
fore Secretary Of State Phil Cook
About seven hundred acres of land
are involved, but this is as nothing
to the contention of the two counties
as to the scene of the tragedy when
J. Letcher Tyre was killed by G. A.
Taroutton, Joe Fluker and Herschel
Tarbutton and the latter was killed
by Tyre. The defendants want the
strip put into Johnson so that they
can be tried there and the people OF
Laurens want the trial to take place
in their county.
