Defense CHARGED
WITH PERJURY

In Rebuttal.
(By the Associated Press }

BOISE, Idaho, July 15.-Another
warrant charging perjury against a
witness who has testified for the de-
tense in the case of the state of
Idaho against VIM. ID. Haywood, was
issued this evening. c. w. Aller,
formerly a telegraph operator and
ticket agent at the depot of the Flo
renee and Cripple Creek railway, at
Cripple Creek, Col, is charged with
the offense by the prosecution of
Ada county. Aller was Immediately
arrested and held in $1,000 bonds.
Both Aller and McGee, who was ar
rested on the same charge, Wee CIV
en- an opportunity to furnish bonds
and the preliminary hearing will be
set, to take place within the next
few days.
Eleven witnesses in rebuttal were
examined today in the Haywood tri-
al. Harry Orchard reappeared on
the stand and was asked few ques-
tions as to his acquaintance with
some of the witnesses for the defense
who have testified as to his move
ments. On being turned over for
cross-eXamination, he admitted that
his uncle, Peter Mckinney commit
ted suicide by hanging thirteen or
fourteen years ago. Counsel for the
defense asked Orchard if his uncle
was not insane before he killed him
self, and also tried to show by the
witness that his maternal grand
father was insane, his monomania
being imaginary crimes committed
a long time ago in Ireland. Orchard
denied all knowledge of the grand
father, but admitted that his uncle
was demented.
The entire afternoon session was
taken up with the examination of
witnesses who contradicted the evil
dence given by C. w. Aller, who tes-
tilted for the defense in support of
the charge of a conspiracy against
the Western Federation of Miners, in
the Citizens Alliance and the Pink
cerned. Aller swore that he saw
Orchard and D. C. Scott together at
the depot of the Florence and Cripple
Creek railway on a Sunday about
three weeks prior to the explosion
at the Independence depot on the 9th
of June, 1904. Scott, this afternoon,
swore that he was not in Cripple
Creek at the time, and number of
witnesses corroborated this. AS
result of this rebuttal testimony in
formation was swron out after court
adjourned, charging Aller with per-
jury.
The explosion at the residence of
Mr. Fred Bradley, in San Francisco,
was again under consideration today,
the state undertaking to show that
the effect of an explosion of illumin-
ating gas could not have been that
described in the depositions taken
for the defense in San Francisco.
The manager of the Boise Gas COM
pany, c. d. Lampson, who was at
one time a resident of New York,
qualified as an expert. He discred-
tied the proposition that gas could
be ignited by the glow at the end of
a cigar. He was cross-eXamined at
considerable length by Mr.. Richard
son and showed close technical
knowledge of gas and its possibili-
ties as an explosive. The general ef-
feet of his evidence was that the ex-
plosion at the Bradley house could
not have been caused by gas.
MuCI was CduSCu ny IL
wordy engagement between E. F.
Richardson and e. M. Sabine, an at
torney of Idaho Springs, Col Sabine
was engaged in the prosecution of
number of cases charging fourteen
members of the Western Federation
of miners with crime and conspiracy
during the labor troubles of 1908.
Mr.. Richardson was the defending
counsel in these cases. There was
sharp exchange between the two,
but enough of good-humored badin-
age to keep the court room in rip
pie of laughter for half an hour. Sa-
bine intimated his willingness to tell
many things that Richardson ap-
peared anxious to keep out of the
records and it kept Haywood's coun-
sci busy heading the witness away
from dangerous ground. Sabine ad-
mitted that Richardson had beaten
