STILL ATTACKING
ORCHARDS STORY
DEFENSE ATTEMPTS TO DIS
CREDIT TESTIMONY OF AS,
SASSlN.
FIENDISH PLOT REVEALED
ORCHARD PLANNED TO BLOW UP
BOARDING HOUSE WITH $50
INMATES.

Boise, June 1.-THE attack of the
Haywood defense on the testimony of
Harry Orchard goes on unremitting
ly, and the witness will probably be
continued on the stand for two. full
days more.
Yesterday began with the story OF
the dynamiting of Fred Bradley in
San Francisco, and the defense made
a long and determined effort to expose
probability.
Orchard Stole Sheep.
Then the play went back to Denver
for the winter of 1904-1905 and the
spring that followed, and there was an
extended effort to show that Orchard
had practically no communication
with the leaders of the federation:
that he received no pay for the Brad
ley crime or anything else, and that
with Steve Adams, in a period of ex-
IRENE poverty extending over several
months. he was reduced to the neceS-
sity of stealing a sheep from the
Globeville stock yards that he might
have food.
Orchard, to a laughing court room,
seriously confessed that he stole the
sheep, but stoutIy denied that it was
from necessity.
Money Came Regularly.
He insisted that all through that
winter and spring he continued to
draw money from Petttibone through
Adams, and explained that if he did
not see the federation leaders often
it was because he was lying low to
avoid capture for previous crimes.
This Globeville inquiry developed
more shocking crime. At this Denver
suburb there was diabolical plot
Orchard swore it was inspired by Max
Mahalich; the defense claimed that Or
chard was it's author-to dynamite
boarding house where $50 non-union
men lived.
Stole 600 Pounds of Dynamite.
In preparation for the murder en-
bloc, Orchard, Adams and man
named Joe Mahalich stole 600 pounds
of dynamite. The crime was aban-
doned. Orchard said, because Hay
wood interviewed and forbade him to
have anything to do with it. Orchard.
who confessed that he hesitated at no
crime and took a hundred desperate
chances in those he committed. made
an interesting contribution to the
psychological study of his personality
when he called himself coward. He
said he was too cowardly openly to
kill Judge Gabbert and said that he
regarded all his acts as cowardly.

saw Orchard Had Motive.

Boise Idaho, June Hilary Or
chard made four admissions Saturday
on the stand TO rthe prosecution in the
trial of w. D. Haywood for the murder
of Gov. Steunenberg of Idaho, in
which the defense claims to have
thrown light on his motive for killing
Steunenberg and of his relations with
the mine owners as opposed to the
Western Federation of Miners. The
defense intimates that Orchard was a
spy of the mine owners, committing
crimes to throw the federation into
disrepute.
Harry Orchard admitted that since
his imprisonment he has been writing
a story of his life.
Admitted by Orchard.
The defense claims it is from this
embellished story, not from his simple
recollection of facts, that he is testi-
flying.
Orchard admitted that he has Sc
cared money since his incarceration
in prison. The defense intimates it
has come from the mine owners, who
were interested in his deeds.
Orchard admitted he would have
been a rich mine owner if Gov. Steu-
nenberg had not driven him from Ida
no. In this the defense sees a motive
for his act in killing the governor.
Orchard added the crime OF arson
to his long list of admitted acts of out
