discovered to show a strong strain of in
sanity on the maternal side.

Denies Pnkerton Connection
''Were you ever arrested for arson and
burglary in Butter" queried Richardson,
and not the crime.
mo, sir; was never arrested in
Butte"
Orchard denied that he had ever told a
man named Brokaw that he had been in
the employ of the Pinkerton detective
agency for five years
ION the witness stand you said, Mr..
Orchard, you knew nothing about a So
called inner circle of the Western Fede-
ration of Miners, and yet in the first in
stallment of your story which has ap-
peared in magazine you devote a para
graph to the inner circle" An objection
from the state was quickly sustained by
Judge Wood.
1--WE are not going into that matter"
remarked the court. Orchard left the
stand. Counsel for the state said he might
be recalled once more later on in the
case.
Walter Bynum. a plumber of Denver,
Colo, testified that he saw Patrick Mo-
ran in Denver in June, 1904. Orchard in
his story said he sent Moran to Denver
to get $500 from the federation. Moran
denied that he had gone to Denver in
June for any purpose. Bynum said he
knew Moran we'll and could not be mis-
taken.
Attorney Testlfies
E. NJ. Sabin, attorney of Idaho Springs,
Colo, was next on the stand. He said he
knew Detective Gregory, who was killed
by Harry Orchard.
Gregory, he said, had been engaged by
the prosecution to secure evidence in the |
case of conspiracy growing out of an at
tack on the Sun and Moon mine.
The defendants were fourteen members
of the Western Federation of Miners, in |
cluding D. c. Copley. witness for the |
defense in the present case.
The defense has claimed that Gregory |
had nothing to do with anything in which |
the federation was interested. The wit |
ness Sabn prosecuted the conspiracy case |
and Attorney Richardson was leading |
counsel for the defense
Richardson drew out the fact that at |
the time of the Sun and Moon explosion |
Sabin and eighty other members of the
Citizens alliance were placed under bonds
to keep the peace. The witness denied |
that this was the reason the federation
men had been prosecuted.
Sabin said he was paid some money for
his services at the trials by the Sun and |
Moon Mining company.
The luncheon recess until 80 was taken
at noon.
After recess, in the redirect examina-
ton of the witness Sabin, Prosecutor
Hawley began to question the witness as
to the reason for organizing the Citizens
upon which the defense has laid |
much stress. He had gone along for
some time when finally the defense OBJ
jected on the ground of immateriality.
1--WE think 1t is immaterial too" de- |
clared Hawley, land we did not go into
1t until the defense did.
1.-THE court thinks 1t is immaterial,"
said Judge Wood, "and the objection is
sustained"
The witness could not recall any GRIM |
inal act in the Idaho Springs district
prior to the summoning of Detectives
Gregory and Baird.
D. C. Scott, former special agent of the
Florence & Cripple Creek railroad, was
called to contradict the testimony of a
operator named Aller, who tes-
titled that he saw Harry Orchard in
Scott's office in the depot at Cripple
Creek in April, 1904.
Scott said he left the employ of the
the last of March, 1904, and gave
up his office in the depot at that time.
He re-entered the service in August,
1904, but he did not occupy his former
office in the depot until October. He de-
clared he had not seen Aller during the
time he was out of the employ of the
Cross examined by Attorney Darrow,
Scott said his position was not that of |
detective although some of the duties
were similar to those of such officers. He
said he was we'll acquainted at Pinkerton
