the Witness StanG.
 Boise. Idaho, July 3.--At the adjourn ment of the Steunenberg murder trial today, the prosecution served notice of Its intention to submit a series of motions to strike out evidence of the defense unless the connecting up tes- timony that has been promised. is forthcoming. 9sS e
 Clarence Darrow. for the defense, had previously announced that his side might be able to rest by Saturday even ing, although 1t might be necessary to let the calling of Haywood and Mover , 70 over until Monday, and following an informal conference with counsel, Judge Wood declared the prosecution should De ready on Monday with it's ease in rebutta1.
 James H. Hawley, senior counsel for the State, said. in reply. that 1t was the intention of himself and his as- soeiates to present series of motions dealing with the evidence by the de- fense. Messrs. Darrow and Richard z son were on their feet instantly to say together that the defense also would, have some motions to make, so that the end of this week or the early part of next. the taking of testimony will . probably be interrupted for an ex- : tended argument on the admissibiiity on 2 mass of evidence already intro.
 The defense oberated today along nearly all of it's original lines. There were attacks on Orchards testimony at several points; there was 8 showing that union miners had been abused by the mine owners and militia at Cripple Creek and Telluride; there was show ing that Pinkerton agents had ad- yised violence and endeavored to pro- long q strike; a woman who served with the relief committee that looked after the families of the deported min- CTS at Cripple Creek swore that she had been twice arrested and twice warned that if she persisted in her work she would be deported, and an- K other woman located Orchard with De- tectiyes Scott and Sterling the night of the second attempt to wreck the Florence and Cripple Creek Railway train.
 TWO of the witnesses were men who ii9larAd eoHspicuously in the testimony of Orchard. They were Davis Coates, former Ideutenant- Governor of Colo raf.o, and Pat Moran, former saloon lxgepsr of Cheyenne. Coates positively ;denied orchard's version of the plot to kidnsp the children of August Paul. son, and Moran denied that he made a trip from Cheyenne to Denver after the Independence station was blown up for the purpose of getting $500 from George A Pettibone for Orchard.
 Denial of Moran.
 The defense in the Steunenberg murder trial today continued its tttacks on the testimony of Pinkerton detective agency. Pat Mo- ran, whom Orchard testified made a trip from Cheyenne to Denver for him to get $500 from George A. Pettibone after the Independent station affair went to the stand and testified that Orchards story was false, "a pipe , dream.'' the witness called it.
 Joseph Barnes, now farmer, but { formerly a miner and a striker Iat Tel Iuride, testified that George Riddell, the Pinkerton operative who worked up to leadership in the Telluride union. had proposed various crimes. including the dynamiting of mines and the burn ing of the town. Barnes said that when 1t was proposed that the strike be settled RiddelI forcefully opposed any settlement The witness also said he met Orchard with Riddell st Tellu- ride.
 On the cross examination of Francis c. Clifford. an insurance man, who formerly officed at Pettibone's store, the State brought out the fact that be- tween April and July. 1s05.. Orchard often 1ounged around Pettibone's store.
 Joseph c. Barnes. living near Mount Rose. Col, testified that he and George w. Riddell Pinkerton operative num- bers of the union at Telluride. Barnes declared that Riddell was constantly suggesting violence. He proposed to roll two kegs of dynamite down 6 hill into the Liberty Bell mine, he advised the miners to punch" any of the dep uties or dead men" who looked cross; told them to burn the town of Tellu- ride, to beat up any man who started s to work and run them out of town.
 Barnes was Q most loquacious wit ness and constantly called out waves of laughter by his ready and lengthy replies.
 After being dsported from Telluride Barnes told of going back to the town in a barrel. The militia discovered him but he escaped by climbing a tree. He saw Orchard and Riddell together once in Telluride.
 Cross examined by Senator Borah. Barnes said he had never engaged in any criminal act with RiddelL
 Did you ever contemplate a crime?'
 s'Yes, sir. When I started back to Telluride I made up my mind to kill any man who stopped me"
 Did you?"
 
 Did Riddell say he would help you kill anybody"
 NO, but he said he would do the same thing"
 Barnes was a member of the strike committee in the Telluride district. He said in December, 1903, all the mem bers of the committee were in favor of calling the strike off except Riddell, who said he would not stand for 1t.
 Pat Moran, the Cheyenne saloon keeper. whom Orchard said was sent by him from Cheyenne to Denver to get $500 from Pettibone. was next caIl- ed to the stand. Moran said he once worked for Pettibone in Denver. sell ing clocks and other goods. on the in- stallment plan, .s'
 Moran not only denied going to Dem yer on any mission for Orchard but said he did not know that Orchard was ever in his saloon.
 All Went Fishing.
 Under cross examination Moran said that he and W. F. Davis went fishing together in Cheyenne. Out at the dam they ran across John Neville and his son and Orchard. The entire party slept together in the woods that night
