der which a number of denunciatory
articles published in the Miners Mag

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 the
use as evidence of the bomb with which
orchard tried to kill him. His ap-
pearance on the stand added another
to the many dramatic scenes and Sit
nations that have characterized the
trial. and his testimony was clear and
minutely .circumstantial. The veteran
iurist testified that the first information
he had received about the bomb came
to him from Orchards confession,
which was shown to him at Denver on
February 13, 1906, by Detective NC
Parland He at once returned 10 ms

sion with the soil packed very hard

son and Darrow for the defense OBJ
iected to all evidence and all the ex-
hibits and moved to strike out every
thing. but the court ruled against them
all along the line.
Mrs. S. S. o. Ward, at whose house
in San Francisco Harry Orchard lived
during part of the time he was con-
Quoting his operations against Fred
Bradley, gave testimony strongly cor
roborative of Orchards account OF his
acts and experiences in San Francisco.
Besides confirming Orchards recital as
TO the time. movements and locations,
she testified that she found lead and
wood shavings in Orchards room, and
a screw eye, string and bottle at

Confirms Orchards Story
John L. Stearns, agent at Denver for
LIZA Insurance COmDanX.
confirmed the story Orchard told about
securing employment as @ solicitor for
the company before he went to Canyon
Citv to kill former Governor Peabody,
and produced letters of recommends
tion which Orchard furnished in re-
suonse to his request. One Of the let
ters was from George Pettibone, CO.
defendant of Haywood, and made Jocu-
lar reference to the fact that Stearns
was taking many agents from him ana
requested in future when any of his
agents applied for work they be put
out on the sidewalk. Another letter
was signed by Horace n. Hawkins,
mariner of Attorney Richardson of the
defense. and it gave Orchard, then
travelling under the name of THOMAS
Hogan, a very strong recommendation
as to character. The defense objected
to the admission of the letters, but the
court permitted their Introduction as
evidence.
Riley Harris, young man who
worked for Roach. the plumber who
made the lead casing for the Peabody
bomb. told of the call of Harry Or
chard at Roach's shop in Denver, in
May. 1905, of the making of the casing
and the delivery of the article to Or
chard whom the witness identified.
The morning session was spent in
arguing the admissability of the edi-
torials and articles published by the
Miners Magazine, which the state Of
feped late yesterday afternoon. Each
side took the Chicago anarchist cases
as its legal guide and justification, the
defense pleading that the legal propo-
sitions varied. Judge Wood wanted to
see the articles and took recess from
II o'clock until o'clock to look them
over. After recess he said that he had
decided to let certain articles go before
the Jury and to exclude certain others.
He will rule tomorrow as to the par
ticular ones that are to be admitted and
excluded.
