ORCHARD At LAST
GIVES WAY TO TEARS
"No one.
"Who wrote that out for you ?'.'
Bible Showed the Way

"No one, but after had been sent
a bible and had read it some came
to the conclusion that / would be
forgiven if l made confession of ev-
.erything. / began to think that the
grave did not end everything, and
made up my mind to tell the truth
about the whole thing"
SO yo uthought you would make
your peace with the future by hay-
ing somebody else hung, did you :"
asked Richardson.
t'No, sir, I think any man can
make his peace with the future If
he wants to. l believed it was my
duty to tell the truth. did not
see any other way regardless of the
consequences to myself or anybody
else, I owed it to society, I owed it
to God and tomyself. "
The defense suggested that If Or
chard did not get the references to
his duty to society, God and himself
from Mcfarland or any
other person. It was suggested to him
by the oath he took when he joined
The Western Federation Of Miners.
They read him the oath from the rit-
lal, but when they did that he ex-
pressed the belief that the language
had been given to him by the Al
mighty.

His Motive Attacked

For hours the defense hammered
away on the motive of saving his
Town life. They sought to show it
in force of the example drawn from
Immunity of informers in the Mol
lie Mcclure cases, but this the wit
ness would not admit. Next they
sought for it in Orchards effort to
bring Steve Adams to the state and
then in the subsequent meetings with
Mcfarland and Governor Gooding.
Once again they emphasized the
fact; that the witness had twice writ
ten out his testimony, but Orchard
repelle dthe suggestion that it had
been changed by Mcfarland, Attorn-
ey Hawley or anybody else.
After that 1t was suggested that
Orchard had placed his future in the
keeping, of Mcfarland; that Pink
erton had sent money to his family
in Canada, that he had been supplied
with dates to strengthen his story
and that Mop had trains him
for his appearance on the stand, but
all this Orchard denied.

tacks gave to the trial, amide the
scenes centering around the high
witness chair in Judge Woods court,
a depth of dramatic intensity COM
pelling human interest that gripped
and held every man and woman who
q watched and listened. Orchard broke
down when the attorneys recited to
him the tale Of David and Uriah that
Detective Mel Partland related to him
when he came seeking concession. He
fought to save himself, but tears fill
led his eyes and he rocked unevenly
like a fainting woman. His voice
lowered to huskiness and he hid his
face in a handkerchief. Then he
steadied himself and went on strong
I ly to the end. He defended his mo-
tiyes by saying that he finally ex-
perienced conversion and had resolv-
ed to make all possible reparation by
freely confessing all. He said that
Mcfarland was doing great service
for the state, and that states were
kind to men who served them there
+ was not other promise. Is
You knew that If you confessed
to the steunenberg murder the state
would put you out Of the way?"

How He Fared in Prison

Then they tried to show him a
pampered, petted, hero-like prisoner
fed from the table Of the warden,
addressed as Harry by Governor
Gooding and Warden Whitney, given
freedom and liberties that no other
prisoner ever had and all this con-
sideration implying directly that he
would never be hanged for killing
Stunenberg. Then came the show
ing as to how the prisoner had been
dressed and groomed for the trial,
and lastly, for the climax, they
showed Orchard pleading for and say
ing the life Of Bob Wetter. con-
demned to death for murder.
Orchard admitted that he had ap-
pealeds to Governor Gooding about
WetterA and that later, Gooding first
reprieyed Wetter and then conmut-
ed his sentence Of death to one Of
life imprisonment.
Orchard left the stand at 2:30
o'clock after having occupied it for
a total Of thirty hours and one

and remanded he went back to the

favorite color combination for wedding
professions, blue frocks and blue hats,
with long blue plumes and pink rose
or two, while pink roses were carried.
Yellow, mauve and white was the
color scheme at one very fashionable
wedding. The gowns yellow tulle, the
hats white chip with yellow plumes, the
flowers lilacs in the two colors
Foulards are once more leaders in
fashionable favor, and are being made
up handsomely by all the high-class
dressmakers. Lord and Taylor are
showing most exclusive patterns in these
in all the newest color combinations.
Brown and white, and white in combi-
nation with the various blue shades that
are now so much to the fore, also resedas
and other soft greens are displayed in
most attractive styles. Coin spots large
and small, clustered and arranged in
stripes and various other devices, are
among the most desirable, also the tiny
patterns that make up in very charming
styles.
AS the season progresses one sees more
rough but satiny straws than were
shown at the beginning and a little
cottage bonnet shape, with turned
down brim fattened at the sides is
favorite for general wear. This is trim
med with matching side trimmings of
floral nosegays, or ribbon rosettes
Ostrich feathers are more worn than
ever, and the newest thing is very mar
row pin feathers made up into aigrettes.
But the new thing of the season is boa
like hat trimming made all of "Casoar"
plumage, which is very much like para
disc feathers only shorter and curled
These cost from $40 up to nearly three
figures so they are not likely to be COM
mon.
Later we are to have hats of pure
white chip or erin with facings of black
or brown satin the outer trimming con-
sisting of short ostrich boa, with white
roses of velvet and satin petals nestled
among the feathers.

Spring Weddings in New YOrk--G0wns
Worn by the Bridal Party and by the
GueStS-Graduating Dresses. IS

GueStS-Graduating Dresses.
Spring weddings brought out all
that was newest and smartest in fashion
able attire, even though warm fur per-
lerines, made necessary by unreasonable
weather, had to be DOTTED before the
beauty of the new costumes was fully
revealed. All the early Easter brides of
high degree wore the conventional satin
and point lace that was the correct mode
when their grandmothers were married,
and in many cases the lace was identical.
An heirloom that had adorned each
succeeding generation of the women of
the family on their wedding days.
Where the gowns were of satin, the
skirts were plain for the most part, with
perhaps, some trimming of lace to define
the front breadth after the robe fashion
that remains popular for all sorts of
gowns de ceremonie. The waists were
more lace than satin about the shoulders,
while sleeves were almost invariably all
of the lace, and in many cases in the over
| tapping, founced effect, which is very
smartly worn. The Japanese Jumper
models were made use of both in bridal
gowns and bridesmaids dresses.
The Princess Empire type of dress
was the type most seen for bridal gowns.
This as everyone knows, is the princess
gown, loosely fitted and with the short
wasted full effect in the back that was
the most becoming feature of the purely
empire gown. Later brides have worn
gowns of Ninon-de-soie, and other semi
transparent fabrics, ever soft satin lin.
ings. These in many instances have been
deliberately trimmed with lace, and
embellished with delicate embroiderie:
hand wrought on the dress fabric. On,
well known girl had her robe decorated
with floral designs in chiffon, made more
effective by embroideries of seed pearls
Point lace wells, or wells OF tulle border
ed with point have been the rule, though
in some cases where the gown wa.
deliberately trimmed with point, thu
veil was of plain tulle unhemmed as i!
customary. Wells have been all lengths
from short affairs reaching only to TIN
waist, to those that almost reached tn
end of the long trains worn.
Lilies the valley have been the mos
popular flower for the BRIDES boquet
with sometimes few orchids, or othe
special flowers combined. Both shower
boquets and oldfashioned nosegays hav,
been seen and bridesmaids have mos
often carried sheaves of long stemmet
roses. In one instance white forsythis
was thus carried and at another wed
ding the maids flowers were white ant
mauve l1lacs.
Bridesmaids gowns have been O.
many different materials and made after
various models but chiffon-ninon has
been probably most seen, and models
were for the most part girlish creations
quite as suitable for graduation frocks
as for the more formal wear.
The difference in these two types of dress
is more in material than in line, brides
maids gowns being made of more costly
materials and with more elegant trim
mings, Light blue and pink has been {
