Among today's witne51es were for
nc. Governor Peabody and his daugn-
ter, Mss Cora Peabody. but neither
was Oh The stand very long The
prosecution today succeeded in seclr-0
ing the admission Of much evidence
bearing on the points of Orchards
tale.
Fi@t there was showing that
Sieve Adams, stranded at Ogden in
June. 1908, on his way homo from
California, wher IT is alleged he went
to XIII Fred Bradley, sent a telegram
to Haywood al Denver for money.
L soma t0r fBorah told the court that In
the statament made by Orchard and
the testimony Of Penier upon the
stand yesterday that S eve Adams
sent a telegram to Haywood, thus
linking Steve Adams as co-,on-
spirator with Haywood the State had
the g1t to introduce Pender's test
mony as to his knowledge of the con-
tents Of the Telegram.
The Deferse Protests.
Jrdre Wood said he had no doubt
as to he adnissibility of the evidence
but ruled that the State must lay a
foundation to show that the original
telegram had been destroyed Sen
ator Borah argued at some length ana
lqucted authorities.
Richard On argued that thore was
no possible rule Of law under whlch
the evidence could be introduced. Far
like sake Of argument, he admitted
that Adams sent the telegram TO Hay
wood when he was stlanded and beat
ing his way back to Denver from a
mining camp IN California but main
tanned that this could not be strained
to mean that conspiracy existed be-
tween Steve Adams and Haywood.
The court admitted the testimony
as a declaration from Steve Adams,
whom the State sets up as con
splrator.
The telegram read:
"W. D. Haywood, Denver: | am in
trouble; send me $75 at once. Steve
Adams:"
Next it showed by originals of
drafts on New York banks, purchased
az the First National bank of Denver
by Haywood himself, that money was
frequently remitted by Haywood to
H. ]. Simpkins, former member of the
executive board Of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, who as Simmons
came to Caldwell with Orchard and
assisted in the first attempt to kill
former Governor Steunenberg.
After some argument Judge Wood
ruled that on the state showing the
connection between Simpkins and the
defendant he would admit the drafts
as evidence. Twenty-one drafts were
introduced and the signatures identi-
fed They were not introduced in
evidence and were only marked for
Identification.
After that came the production of
the shattered and twisted fragments
of the device by which the Vindicator
bomb was set off.
Peabody Sees Bomb Made For Him.
Next the state completed the legal
history of the Peabody bomb, follow
ing by showing that it was dug out of
the ice in the Couer D'Alene river,
then that II was brought to Boise and
taken on TO Denver. and lastly by
identifying its casing in court by the
plumber yhO made IL.
The Peabody family was present
during this testimony and watched
the bomb cover every moment IT was
displayed before the witness stand.
Then the state once more took up
the general trend of Orchards story
and successfully offered the testimony
of Miss Peabody to the incident re-
lated BY Orchard where he and Steve
Adams followe the Peabody car
liage home. the evidence of Governor
Peabody that be had seen Orchard in
Canyon City. the testimony showing
that at various times in 1905 Hay
wood. Pettibone and Orchard we're
seen together and lastly the proof
thai Steve Adams was at Pocatello in
September presumably to meet and
throw "Pettibone dope at a carload
of n0n-union miners.
