neys. would come to his assistance! But one inference could be drawn from such a statement-that he was expecting, be- fore he went to Caldwell, that he might be arrested for some crime, such as the assassination of Steunenberg, and had made arrangements in advance for le- gal counsel to defend him.
 And the still more incredible fact re- mains that an attorney actually did start for Caldwell on such mission. That was Fred Miller of Spokane, who had for many years been a member of the firm that had represented the offi- cials and members of the Western Fed eration of Miners in the litigation att tending the strikes in North Idaho. Mil- Ter left Spokane for Caldwell. upon re- ceipt of the news through the papers that Hogan was arrested, but later, upon receiving later papers contain ing Hogan's remarkable statement, stepped off the train at Walla Waila and re- turned to Spokane. He later entered the case. and Is now one of the minor attorneys for the defense in the prose- cution of the miners officials for com plicity in the murder.

Governor. It may be said in passing that one of McParland's first changes was his insistence that all offers of rewards which had, naturally, become quite large, should be revoked, in or der that no charge of finding a crim inal in order to claim a reward should be made against him. He was hired by the day, receiving exactly the same stipend, so he told me, whether he failed or succeeded.
 Mcfarland first became known to fame back in the '70s, when, by as dar- ing a piece of detective work as one can find in all >the annals of ''Old Sleuth," he ran to earth the famous Molly Mcguire" organization of the criminals among the Pennsylvania min CTS, his work resulting in the hanging of twenty-seven of the leaders for murder. It was largely because of his success in that work that he was se- cured to investigate the Idaho tragedy.
 Mcfarland made many visits to Or chard in his cell at the State peniten- tiary at Boise, where he had been re- moved for safe keeping, and gradually secured his confidence. He talked to

place. whose word was not to be doubt ed after his long and honored residence there. was located by chance, who had, in the very spot indicated by Adams, discovered the explosive, which acted just as Adams said it would, some six months before the assassination of Steu- nenberg.
 The corroboration of the point of the confession in such a manner, absolutely precluded the idea that might have been suggested under other circumstances, that the detectives only led Adams to the spot where they had buried the ex- plosivei while working on the case. ready for him to find at the proper mo- ment. Such suggestions, indeed, have been made regarding other features of the corroborative evidence.
 few months ago, .the attorneys for Mover, Haywood and Pettibone, acting on behalf of relatives of Adams in Ore gon. brought habeas corpus proceed ings for his release. on the ground that he had never been indicted fAr the mur- der of Steunenberg, and thereupon an- other murder charge was filed against him, in order to keep him in custody, and he was tried for his life at Wal lace, Idaho. The attorneys for the prosecution and the defense, were pret- ty much the same as in the main case, now on at Boise.
 Cpon lHlS lFIdi, the or the con- fession of Adams. relating to the mur- der of Tyler, the victim In the case on trial, was introduced, but Adams, talk ing the stand in his own defense, de- clared that portion of his confession was Incorrect. The jury in the case dis agreed.
 This repudiation, though partial in it's nature and made during Adams own trial for murder in his own behalf, will ha fn testimony he may give In the cases now pending.
 The assassination was thoroughly planned: there can be no doubt of that. And yet. even the most carefully laid plans will sometimes fail, as was evil denced by two former attempts. which became known only after his death, up- on the life of the former Governor.
 It was the custom of the Governor as has been stated. to cross vacant lot across the street from his resi- dence every evening on his way home from work. One night during the fall Harry Orchard. who had carefully ob- served the habits of the man marked for his victim. planted bomb at the side of this path with a string lead- ing from the trigger across the path. where it was supported by two small sticks set in the ground. It was so arranged that the Governor, in walk ing along the path, would pull the trigger as he stubbed his toe on the string and so become his own execu- tioner.
 But that particular night Governor Steunenberg on his way home, perhaps with his mind a thousand miles from the pathway he was treading, perhaps with the thoughts of the wife and chil- dren who were waiting for him across the street, and with no hint of danger, was walking about literally in the air. and unconsciously as he came to the fatal string his boot cleared it. and for the time his life was saved.
 Again on Christmas eve, :ust six days before the third and successful attempt on his life, Harry Orchard confessed, so 'tis said, that he lay in the darkness just across the street with gun loaded with buckhot. while (ContInuad ou pawa Stx

Upon being accosted by the name of Orchard, Hogan" admitted that Orchard was his name, though still maintaining innocence of the crime of aSsassinating Steunenberg.

Miss Gibson was ii meet DR.. Ross of

had expected that he would have ar

the time she got here in the Aorangi.
But no Ventura has been sighted
What was she to do, for it had been
agreed between the lovers that they
were to be married her and then, both
of them of course, go to New Zealand
in the boat in which the lady came
down, the Aorangi.

If the Ventura is not sighted when il

VALLEJO, March 27-The people
of Crockett, just across the straits
from Vallejo, are experiencing CON
siderable anxiety over the story that
has leaked out to the effect that the
California and Hawaiian Sugar Refln-
ing Company is contemplating remov-
ing it's big plant from that town.
George NJ. Rolph, the manager of the
company, refuses to deny or affirm
the story, but it is understood that it
will be only a short time before the
present plant, which pays out about
$4,000 a month in wages, will be NOV
ed. AS this is. one of the most i'm,
portant industries in Crockett such a
course means a big loss to the sugar

If the Crockett plant is abandoned
the company will operate a plant IN

been decided upon as affording bet
