Orchards Story Absurd.

why, gentlemen, even Vaughn. the in
surance agent, who travelled with Orch
ard. slept with him and knew him as
well as anybody could, tells you that
Orchards talk at times made him think
ne man was 'bughOuse.' Orchards is the
most absurd story on the face of the
earth. He says there was never anV
fixed amount to be paid him for given
crimes-he was always, invariably told
not to take too much as he could get
more whenever he wanted it. In the
light OF this testimony what becomes of
the Western Federation Of Miners had
a scale Of prices for crime, so much be-
ing fixed for the murder OF a governor,
so much for judge and so much for a
common laborer?'
Richardson called attention to the mea-
gerness of Governor Peabody's testimony
when ne appeared as a witness, and ex-
claimed in stentOrian voice:
"Will you men of the jury put a halter
about the neck of this man on such tes-
timony as this and send him to his death
at the -behest of the Mine Owners assO-
citation and its representatives? It will
be a long time, tell you, before the law
will sanction a conviction on any such
evidence as has been here adduced."

OLD MANS LIFE
IS THREATENED
Exile or a Cup of Cold Poison
for the DepOSed Emperor
of Korea.

Seoul July 23.-The cabinets report
to Marquis Ito of the former emperor's
new pledge of abdication. in form pos
tive and final, was published today,
and reversed the widespread impress
sion that the first instance was not
one of abdicatiOn, but Of imperial con-
tOrtiOn" Ito's subservient cabinet in
an aIl-night engagement with The for
mer emperor, wrung from him the YER
bal admission of the validity of his
casual abdication and secured his sig
nature to a classification proclamation
to the people, also an acknowledge
ment of the mikadOs congratulations
to him as emperor de facto. which ac-
acknowledgement had been resisted by
the deposed ruler during the day.
Exile or Assassination.
The working members of the cabinet
who enjoy Ito's protection and patron
age, are passing in and out OF the pal
ace with a guard exclusively Japanese.
The work of the cabinet will not be
finished until the eX-emperor is eXiled
from Seoul. This, the next step, If ac-
complished without the poisoning of
the deposed ruler or the contamination
of some similar tragedy, viii be a land
mark in Korean history.
Viscount Hayashi, the foreign min
lister of Japan, whose presence in Ko-
rea at this time supports Ito, IN an in
terview yesterday in the adm nistra-
tons paper, is understood to have
suggested a council of state with pow
er to act for the elimination of inter
ference by the throne.
Strict Censorship.
The censorship proclaimed over Jap
aneSe press correspondence is de-
scribed as precautionary on account of
the bitterness displayed toward Ito's
conservative course in reshaping the
destinies of Korea. Th.atres, amuse-
ment places and the markets are now
open for the first time in four days
The situation in the capital is prOuls-
ing, especially in consideration of the
fact that the stores OF ammunition
possessed by disaffected Korean troops
are extremely small. Marquis Ito ex-
poets valuable reinfoTcements Of blue
jackets from japanese warships for
emergency use.

Would Not Have Escaped.

DO you suppose, gentlemen of the
jury" asked Richardson, that if a
murdeTous inner circle of the Western
Federation of Miners had marked these
men fOI death and had hired assassins to
do their work, they would have been so
easily and without apparent cause deter
red from carrying out their design? Do
YOU imagine they would stop until their
purpose had been accomplished?
when you consider all the testimony
in this case 1 think you will reach with
me the cOnslusion that this man Orchard
was possessed of a mania to go out and
Kill. Sometimes his lust was greater than
at others and so it was that sometimes
he was strong in his purpose and some

Richardson's Closing Words.

Resuming his argument this morning
Attorney Richardson reverted to the
Bradley explosion in San Francisco, brief
ly, to call attention to the testimony of
a witness who said Orchard declared
Bradley got what was coming to him
and there's a chap named Steunenberg
who is going to get his"
The attorneys voice was quite husky
today as result of yesterdays effort.
Tracing Orchard back to Denver where
he made the second attempt on the life
of Governor Peabody, Mr.. Richardson de-
clared that absolutely no confederation
had been offered to Orchards story of
setting the bomb under the sidewalk and
its failure 10 explode because of d coal
cart driving across the wire. The at
tOrney also declared that no sufficient
explanation had been offered as to why
Orchard abandoned from time to time the
attempts on the lives of Governor Pea

DEATH FOLLOWS
IN A FEW HOURS
Russian Criminals Dispatched
With Great Celebrity by New
Military Courts.

St. Petersburg, July 23.-The new
regulations concerning a mode of pro-
Cedure for the military district court
introduced July 20. have now begun to
bear fruit, and the results constitute a
close approach to the notorious reign
of the drumhead courts-martial which
were abolished by the late duma.
The innovations shorten the entire
course of the inquest and trial. allow
ing only seventy-twO hours between
indictment and execution, including
the appeal of the prisoner to the mill
tary court of cessation and the decision
of this court. The former regulations
allowed a fortnight for this procedure.
The new military courts are now
obliged to hand down sentences with
out waiting to hear the testimony of
witnesses, who may be absent. They
also enjoy jurisdiction over wider
area than the former drumhead courts,
which only operated in the provinces
that had been placed under a state of
extraordinary defense.
No Mercy Shown.
The number of executions under the
new rulings show a sudden increase.
At Kiev yesterday five sappers were
executed, and today another sapper
was sentenced to death. Three peas
ants nave been executed at Moscow,
another at Warsaw, and at Yekaterin-
sOlav three workmen have been put
to death under decisions handed down
by these new courts
At Riga Il young man named Belad

sentenced to death.

and clear opinions on every import
ant matter upon which he would be
required to vote and he has been re-
corded every time as voting for that
which he believed was best for the
people he represents and for those
of the state at large.
Bottineau county sent for the first
time William Freeman. and if he was
elected because of his ability and his
devotion to the interests of his constit-
uents. it was we'll made choice.
Though new man he has on several
occasions proved ready and convinc-
ing debater. careful and logical
thinker and a man capable of hold
ing his own under almost any con-
ditions. He will be one of the leaders
of the house before sha session closes.
Another new member who has al
ready woi his spurs is U. L. Eurdick
Of Cavalier. AS lawyer he stands
among the best of the younger frotern-
ty and his legal training and his close
application as a student and thinker
have given him fund of information
and facts, which combined with a
mind trained to think consecutive,s
and reason logically, make him pow
er in the shaping of legislation. 1t is
said he has no political ambitions;
that he sought the position because
he realized the needs of legislation in
the interests of the people along GER
tain lines, but his constituents will
find it difficult to fill his place. 1t
might be said in passing that both of
the members of the house from Cava-
!ier are new men, Mr.. Mcdowell serv-
ing his first term at this time. He is
a conservative member but one who
is giving abundance of attention to
the details and KNOWS the effect of
every vote he is casting.
Over on the slope, the policy of
changing to new men is not so pro-
nounced as it is in the eastern part
of the state and as a consequence the
influence in the legislature of the
slope counties compared with those
of the valley is much stronger Among
the new men who have come in this
session, however, is T. R. Mockler of
Burleigh. Mockler is man of more
than ordinary ability, good lawyer,
a good parliamentarian, good think
er and all in all decidedly good leg
islator. He would be perfectly at
home in the congress of the United
States as we'll as in the legislature of
our own state.

IT'S An OLD STORY.

The other day, in the Senate up at
Albany, a Mr.. Grady called the lesis-
lative reporters of the New York pap
ers-or some OF them-a pack OF lying
hounds. Is this the same Mr.. Grady
whose presence in the senate up at AL
bany was a personal discomfort to
Governor Grover Clevelando Noting
the remark about the legislative re-
porters when it was made, we spoke
of the glib fluency with which crooked
politicians always reel off that kind
of talk. Stupid, pompous politicians,
too, are much addicted to the habit of
affecting lofty disdain for the press
especially those whose bank ac-
counts are as fat as their brains. Mr..
Grady-if it's the same Mr. Grady
must be getting along in years now;
but congressman and legislators were
airing their brief greatness at the en-
pense of the newspapers long before
Mr.. Grady was born, as they have
ever since,
