progress is difficult and many changes

he always finds that there is Il marked
difference, for then both words and

States Evidence Talk.

The defense is rather amused than
otherwise over the efforts Of the prose-
cutiOn TO induce Meyer to turn States
evidence. That inducement has been
held out to Meyer 70 desert his conf
rades is without doubt true. but Meyer.
in common with the other officials of
the western Federation OF Miners, de-
clares that these efforts cannot avail.
because Meyer has nothing to tell which
would strengthen the case Of the State
unless he committed perjhuy, and this he
has no intention of doing.
The amusing part of the effort is the
manner in which social attention has
been showered upon Mrs. Meyer in the
effort to get her TO join in the move
ment to have her induce her husband
70 corroborate the statements made by
Harry Orchard. II was through Mrs
Meyer that the offer was made to Meyer
that he would be granted his freedom
If he testified for the State. But IL IS
understood that she accompanied the
offer with the statement that If her
husband even considered 1t he would
be less than a man.

The Times method of distribu-
ton is the best possible for regular
service for home delivery. The
city is divided into seven districts
and a special agent of the paper has
jurisdiction over each district, his
income increasing or diminishing
as the number of papers taken in
his district increases or diminishes.
The fact that he is responsible for
all collections makes it certain that
no worthless patrons can get The

No Authority for Stipulation.

After adjournment there was a con-
sultation Of lawyers with the Judge. and
the judge finally concluded that there
was no authority 70 make the proposed
stipulation. so that the Jurors will have
10 keep on in the same way. getting no
exercise except when all are willing to
go. II was commented on afterward
that the talk Of the jurors showed that
they were already getting into condition
to disagree on their verdict by showing
that they could not agree about their ex.
ercise
Some very curious evidence was adj
duced in court. Two witnesses about
whom there has been much interest
were on the stand. These were Marion
w. Moor, the member Of the executive
board Of The federation who, Orchard
testified took a letter to Nome 10 mail
for him, and J. Wolf, Petitioners former
clerk, who had been concerned in the
sending OF money 10 Orchard by Petit
bone
Moor calmly admitted all that Orchard
had said about him. The only qualifica-
ton or limitation which Moor put on
Orchard's story of their relations was in
conhning their acquaintance TO three
orief conversations. They met first when
Moor was sitting on a bench in tee
court house yard in Denver III the latter
part of May, 1905. and had a general talk
Of about five minutes.
About July IS following they met on
the street. and Orchard asked Moor what
he was doing. Moor replied that he was
going to Alaska the next Gay Orchard
ssked where he was stopping, and tha-
evening come TO his room at the Bel
mont Hotel and asked him TO take a
letter 10 Alaska and mail Il there.
Moor took II, and noticed that II was
addressed TO Mrs. Orchard and was not
sealed.
Il said, You are sending 1t a long

he replied, We'll, I want 10 get rid or

tive a stranger as Orchard.
Il paid no attention TO it," said Moor.
Il didn't know whether she was his wife
or not. There are so many people In this
Western country who let a woman carry
their names for a WHILE
Orchard testified that he left the date
blank in that letter and that Moor in
serted for him the date on which 1t was
mailed. Borah asked about that. and
Moor replied:
Il don't remember whether 1 did or
not. If he asked me to do 1t, l prob
ably did it,
The examination OF Wolf was similarly
curious. He testified. in answer to
Darrow's questions. that he had worked
for Pettibone for several years and had
closed up the business after Pettibone
was brought here under arrest on the
pending charge. He described the stores
in Stout street and Court place in Den
yer. and the description agreed with
that given by Orchard. Then he said
that the store was sort or general
headquarters for Federation members
and that they often left packages OF
money with PettibOne TO be called for
later He did not remember seeing
Orchard at the Stout street place. but
did see him at the Court place store.
Nor did he recall seeing Steve Adams at
all he was not well acquainted with
Orchard Then he told Of having seen
Petubone put Masonic charm and a
members union card in an envelope
and Of taking II 20 the postonice and
having Il registered. That was the
