Stories of Murder by
Harry Orchard.
Show Him to Be a Fiend In
cdrndte Eighteen Killed.

Boise, Idaho, Jnne 5.-Aifred
Horsley, alias Harry Orchard,
the actual assassin of Gov. Fr ank
Steunenberg, went on the stand
today, witness against William
II. Haywood, and made public a
confession of a long chain of
brutal, revolving crimes, done he
said at the inspiration and for
the pay of the leaders of the
Western Federation Of Miners.
The promise by the special
prosecutors for the state that
they would by later proof and
connection legitimatize this tes-
timony opened the way like a
floodgate to the whole diabolical
story, and throughout the en-
tire day Orchard went on from
crime recital, each succeeding
one seemingly more revolving
than those that had come before.
Orchard confessed that as a
member of the mob that wrecked
the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mill in the Occur d'Alenes, he
lighted one of the fuses that car
ried fire to the giant explosives;
confessed that he set the death
trap in the Vindicator mine at
Cripple Creek that blew out the
lives Of Superintendent McCor-
mick and Foreman Beck; con-
fessed that because he had not
been paid for his first attempt at
violence in the indicator mine |
lIe had been teacherous 20 his
associates by warning the man
ayers of the Florence and Grip
pie Creek railway that there was
plot to blow up their trains;
confessed that he cruelty fired
three charges of buckshot into
the body Of Detective Lyle Greg
ory of Denver, killing him in
stant1y: confessed that for days
he stalked Gov. Peabody about
Denver waiting q chance to Kill
him; confessed that he and Steve
Adams set and discharged the
mine under the depot at Inde-
pendence that instantly killed
fourteen men, and confessed
thai failing in an attempt to
poison Fred Fred Bradley of
San Francisco, he blew him and
his house up with a bomb.

some game. The triple play
had been faultiessly and bril-
liantly executed and for q mo-
ment the multitude was stunned,
scarcely knowing what had hap
pened. The cheering had stop=
ped as suddenly as the notes of
an organ when the wind gives
out. The suddenness of the
thing simply took the breath
away from the spectators and
they did not have enough voice
eft to give Columbus the round
Of applause to which such a bril-
liant feat entitled them.

a terrific revulsion against Gov
ernor Goodin, Senator Borah

brought the labor leaders to
trial on a murders confession OF
his own crime.
DOUBT RICHARDS STORY.
Orchards assertions that he
slaughtered men as a butcher
kills sheep. has not carried con-
viction that he is telling the
truth about Haywood. Every
person who heard him tell IN his
matter-of-fact no-move n 2 n t
tones how he planted a bomb
here, or shot man TO death
there, regard him as a creature
capable of anything. He is
known as bigamist, a thief, and
worse. Perjury would come
easy TO him il he was promised
worth while in the
present circumstance.
Attorney Richardson. for the
defense, is going to probe the
that has surrounded the
Orchard confessions, if he can.
He wishes to find what induce
nents has been offered Orchard
o get him to confess and impli-
cate Haywood and others.
Murders have been hunted
Town and hanged, but there
never was fiend like Orchard |
