has been produced and it's history
largely proved by outside witnesses
from the time it was made in Denver
until it was dug out of the ice in the
Couer-D'Alene river.
Miss Peabody confirmed one detail
~ the story Orchard told Of one OF
the attempts to shoot her father, and
Orchards story of his journey to Can
non city to kill former Governor Pea
body is given general confirmation by
the testimony of william Vaughan,
who was Orchards travelling compan-
ION. Orchard went to Canyon City os-
tensibly as an insurance agent and the
state has produced a letter of recon-
mendation written to the insurance
company for him by Pettibone.
The discovery of the Goddard bomb
has beer established, but the earlier
history of the bomb and all of the
plot Centering around it rests on the
testimony of Orchard.
The chief confederation of Or
chard's testimony has been as to things
he did and the time and manner OF
heir doing, and it is commended by the
defense that aside from his testimony
there is not a single piece of independ-
ent evidence against Haywood or any
fact that Independently connect Hay
wood with the crime charged or any
other crime.
