TESTIMONY AT BOISE
Tells of Movements Of orchard-State
VIII Rest Case After Exam-
ination of Woman
Witness
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BOISE, Ida, Dec. 19.-Much and dam
aging testimony was presented by the
state today in the trial of George A. Pet
tibone for the murder OF former Governor
Steunenberg. Charles Neville, aged H.,
son of John Neville, whom Orchard said
he was directed by Meyer to kill because
he knew too much" was the chief wit
ness of the day, telling of his hunting
trip with his father and Orchard.
On the night of the Independence depot
explosion, he said, Orchard left their
camp early in the night and did not re-
turn until dawn, corroborating Orchard s
testimony on that point When the trio
went to Denver, young Neville stated, he
and his father went to Pettibone's store
and his father had long talk with Pet
tibone, parts of which he overheard.
"Then / will squeal,'' was one of the
remarks he said he heard his father make.
They also went to Western Federation
headquarters, and his father had long
talk with a man whom he did not know
and could not identify.
Young Neville was not witness in the
Haywood trial. He was brought to Boise,
but was not placed on the stand. 1t was
expected that Mrs. Ida Toney, second
wife of Harry Orchard, would also tes-
tify today, but the cross-examination of
young Neville had only been fairly begun
when the hour for adjournment was
reached Mrs Toney win be called to-
morrow and the state will rest It's case
after her testimony.
Orchard was on the stand most of the
day, but his redirect examination
brought out no new points Orchard
was asked in regard to alleged conversa-
ton with Max Malich, Eugene Engley,
DR.. Magee Lottie Day and others, and he
denied that he had threatened. In the
presence of any of these, to kill Governor
Steunenberg because he had been driven
from the Coeur d'Alenes and had lost his
interest In the Hercules mine.
The state introduced in evidence the
deed of Harry Orchard to Dan Gordona
of one-sixteenth interest in the Her
cules mine showing that the transfer
was made March Z, 1898. a year before the
troubles in the Occur dAlenes.
