COVERS A WIDE RANGE
State Continues Rebuttal Testi-
mony in Haywood Case.
DENIES STORY OF DEFENSE

Former Superintendent Of the vIndi-
Gator Mine at Cripple Creek De-
scribes Conditions Immediately Fol-
lowing Explosion in That Shaft.
Boise, Ida, July 17.-Rebuttal evil
dence in the Haywood trial during the
day covered a wide range. 1t started
in California, returned to Idaho and
finished the session in Colorado. Four
witnesses supported the general at
tack being made by the prosecu-
ton on the evidence by which the de-
Tense hopes to prove perjury against
Harry Orcharc-:
After Lawrence Guibbini had sus-
tanned Orchard as to the condition OF
the Bradley residence in 1904 the
scene changed to the Occur d'Alenes
and a physician of Burke swore to
seeing Orchard in Burke on the day
Of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill
explosion. Witnesses for the defense
have sworn to playing poker with
Orchard at the same time in Gem,
many miles away over the noun
tains.
A. 7. Holman, a mine superintend-
ent in Colorado, now manager OF the
Golden Cycle mine and formerly SUI
per;ntendent of the Vindicator mine,
was called to contradict statements
made by the witness Wood, who de-
scribed the condition of the sixth
level in the Vindicator Immediately
after the explosion. Holman was ex-
tremely circumstantial and careful In
his descriptions, using a chart which
was placed on an easel for his con.
venience. Mr.. Holman also told OF
labor conditions and of attacks by
union men upon "scabs."
In his cross-examination E. F. Rich
ardson went closely into the situa-
ton in Colorado during the labor trou-
bles. Holman strongly supported the
contention that condiS were such
as to demand presence of the militia.
Dr.. MCGEE Furnishes Bond.
DR.. l. L. MCGEE, the witness for the
defense who is charged with perjury,
has arrived here and gave bonds of
$4,000. G.. F. Aller, the other witness
who was arrested Monday, was given
a preliminary hearing.
The third day of the states case in
rebuttal was begun with Lawrence
| Guibbini, the San Francisco grocer,
again on the stand. He was recalled
at the request of the defense. He
was asked a few additional questions
as to Typographical locations in the
| neighborhood of the Bradley apart
ment house.
A. G. Cogswell of Wallace, Ida,
followed Guibbini. He was called fur
ther to impeach DR.. I. L. MCGEE, a
witness for the defense, who is under
arrest and who has been brought to
Boise from Spokane, where he was
taken into custody. DR.. MCGEE testi-
fed as to certain dates by fixing the
date of a county Republican conven-
| ton III Wallace. MI. Cogswell, who
was permanent chairman of the con-
vention, gave different dates. The at
torneys for the defense moved to
strike out the evidence as immaterial
and when this motion was denied they
declined to ~cross-examine.
Edward r. Award, a druggist OF
Burke, Ida, vas called and testified
that he did not see Harry Orchard
about town during the time the mob
had gone to Nardner to blow up the
Bunker Hill mill. He did see Orchard,
however, Immediately after the train
got back.
On cross-examination Award said
he had no personal grudge against the
federation, although he had a member
of it arrested for ordering him out of
the country.
Mine Operator on the Stand.
A. T. Holman, a mine operator Of
Cripple Creek, next took the stand.
AT the time of the strike Mr.. Holman
was in charge of the Golden Cycle
mine. Prior to 1903 he was in the
Vindicator mine.
He told of some personal expert
ences with the strike committee and
then went into a description of the
Vindicator mine explosion. Mr.. Hol-
man reached the sixth level, where
Mccormick and Beck were killed,
within twenty minutes after the ex-
plosion. A plot or diagram of the
mine was introduced in evidence and
described to the jury in detail.
On cross-eXamination Holman said
he had taken an active part in the
strike and had been a member of the
Mine Owners association from the
first. The witness had told Of the
beating up of an old man named
Stuart who had worked on the com
pany's property after the strike had
been declared.
Nov isn't it a fact" asked Attorney
Richardson, that old man Stuart got
drunk, went home and was beaten VI
by his wife,"
II never heard that theory BEFORE
replied Holman.
Richardson went into a long line OF
