fer differCn mt crimes. Among these who
committed the crimes at the behest of
the Inner circle and who were paid
from emergency funds, were Harry
Orchard and Steve Adams.
The crimes We're but mere incidents
Of the larger purpose of the big con-
spiracy. We will show that the inner
circle" is responsible for some of the
most tiendiSh crimes ever committed
anywhere-all to carry out the pur-
poses of the circle. We will show you
these men were responsible for the
murder Of Arthur Collins at Telluride,
Of Leigh Collins upon the streets Of
Denver"
Once more Mr.. barrow objected, de-
claring that crimes committed in Col
orado had nothing to do with the
Steunenberg case.
Judge Wood overruled the objection.
He said he would hear counsel further
when it came time To object in testi-
mony.
Mr.. HaWley went on to say that the
Inner Circle" was responsible for the
blowing up Of the Independent Depot
at Cripple Creek; blowing up Of the
he said that the state would show
I that Haywood and his co-defendants
had nj many times tried to assassin
ate Gov. Peabody Of Colorado in the
same way as the murder Of Steunen-
berg was accomplished and for the
same reasons. All of these crimes Mir.
HaWley declared were committed by
Orchard and Adams as the hired ami
I L ~,
co-dcfendantS.
Mr.. EaWley reverted once more to
the killing Of Steunenbcrg and de-
clarcd that witnesses would be pro-
duccd to testify AS To the making of
the bombs, and as to all Of Orchards
movements and Of his communication
with the defendants. As to Orchards
confession he declared its details We're
confronted by the finding Of bombs in
various places where crimes had been
contemplated but abandoned for some
reason or other and by various other
circumstances which seemed to point
70 the truth Of all his statements.
Mr.. IIaWley closing his remarks, as
serted that the evidence to be adduced
would go much further than had his
opening statement. He believed the
proof would satisfy the jury as his
guilt despite the fact that Haywood
himself might not have been in the
state OF Idaho for years.
As he sat down Attorney barrow
aros" and stated that the defense
would reserve its opening until the
states case is finished.
Judge Wood said he had been re
qucsted by the attorneys for the de-
fence to instruct the jury once more
that the defendant is presumed to be
innocent until proved guilty beyond
reasonable doubt. Judge Wood in
structed the jury to keep their minds
as clear as possible and to cOnfine
Judgement to the evidence and not to
the remarks Of counsel. The attor-
neys agreed that an order excluding
witnesses was not necessary.
C. F. Wayne then was called as the
first witness. Mr.. Wayne formerly re-
sided IN Caldwell, the home of Gov.
StuencnECrg and next door to the gov
erncr's place. Wayne said he was
working on the Steunenberg place on
tie right Of the explosion, Dec 80. 1905.
He had just gone into his own home
when the explosion occurred. The
lights of his holis" We're CNtinSuiShed.
He rushed out and hearing noise at
the governors house went there and
saw the results of the bomb. The
governor was badly mangled. both legs
being broken, his right arm mangled
ana his clothing torn off from the
waist down. The fence and gate We're
shattercd Wayn" rushed for Il doc
tor and friends of the dying man. Gov.
Stcuncnberg died within half an hour.
The explosion occurred about $50
O'Clock Wayne said he had been
through the gate where the exploding
string Of tho bomb was attached just
Il minutes befor" the governor. The
string evidently had been made fast
hut a few minutes preceding the gov
crnors arrival. The defense did not
desire the crusS-cXamine the defence
ana he was excused.
Or. !. W. Cue of Caldwell. who at
tended me diving man, described in
detail the fearful injuries wrought by
tie bomb. The bones We're shattered

DR. Cue was also excused without
c,"SS-cXamination.
John G. Rice. IN attorney Of Cald-
wen. was called. He lived near Gov.
Stcuncnbcrg. EiCc testified to seeing
Harry Orchard passing his house al
most every day for q month preccd-
ing the ira gcdy. The man known I'M
der the alias of Thomas Hogan seemed
t. hnv" no business. one day he said
Hogan inquired Of him if a vacant
house near the governors residence
was for rent. Rice said he did not
