ORCHARD IN BEHALF OF SAN FRANCISCO GAS GO.
DEFENSE MAKES SEARCHING
TEST OF ORCHARDS STORY
OF ATTEMPT TO KILL, BRAD
LEY WITH POISON AND
BOMB.
tscripps News Associafion.,


BOISE, June 11.-For nearly an
hour this morning Richardson in
terrogated Orchard relative to his
attempt to murder Bradley in San
Francisco without developing any
thing which would tend to shake
his original story. Orchard follow
ed his usua! tactics of not fixing
dates nor places absolutely.
Richardson tried to get him to
declare positively the powder he
used was bought from the Judson
Powder Co., but all Orchard was
say was that he thought it was. He
described how he got the powder
but could not remember what the
man he bought it from looked like.
1t developed that in connection
with the damage suit brought by
the owner Of the flats against the
gas company in San Francisco
Orchard discussed the matter with
MCFARLAND and Governor Goodings.
He knew both the latter had made
af11davits in favor of the gas COM
upou llIol lhoIioh w
him only short time ago.
Orchard couldn't explain how the
explosion could blow Bradley into
the street when the bomb was out
side. 1t was set off by opening the
door. inward He said the door
through which Bradley was thrown
set diagona'ly and thought this ex-
planned the matter.
Orchard stuck to his original
statement, again positively denying
that counsel for the prosecution
had told him this story.
When he got back to Denver he
met Adams and went to his house
to stay. Both were practically
broke. They got money, however,
from Haywood whenever needed, he
said. Orchard claimed he reported
to Haywood the success of his at
tempt on Bradley and said Hay
wood was well pleased.
In answer to a question he said
he lied because he wanted to, and
admitted he never cared much
whether he told the truth or not.
Orchard declared he had not sent
Mrs Orchard No. 2 any money af-
ter leaving Cripple Creek, but in.
sisted when he deserted her he left
500. He declared Pettibone and
Haywood promised to send her
money, but Re learned they had not.
He didn't resent 1t.
He denied having taken all her
money or that he knew she had
taken Ia washing to get money to
live on. He then took up the first
attempt on Judge Gabbert's life
and stuck closely to his original
story. He was still reciting his
Denver experience when recess was
ordered.

SAN FRANCISCO, June IL
With the calling of the first wit
ness this morning in the Schmitz
case the defense outlined the plan
by which II hopes to break the
chain Of evidence drawn about the
accused mayor. His attorneys will
attempt to tear down the testimony
Of Reagan, 'ex-police commissioner,
and to jmpeach the witness.
The crowd in the courtroom to-
day was the largest that has yet at
tended the trial. Hundreds stood
In the aisle and the lobby.
The first witness was NJ B. Scott,
of the Waters union. Through
him the defense expects to show
that the attack on the Tortoni res
taurant was instigated by Reagon
and that the entire line of attack
was planned by him.
Heney sought to block the in
PRODUCTION Of this evidence, but
without avail.
Continuing his testimony Scott
said he told Reagan he could not
unionize Tortoni's and asked if he
couldn't take the license away.
Reagan sail all that would be ne

Scott suggested they hire men
to engage rooms and have the pro-
prietor send out for girls. Reagan
approved the scheme. so they got Q
men, who went to the place They
afterwards gave Scott a check from
the restaurant which was turned
over to Reagan for evidence.
Later he proposed to go after the
Bay State restaurant, which Reagan
said was bad place.
Heney took the witness and got
from him the admission that he
held a position under the admins
tratiOn. He said he spoke to the
mayor about unionizing number
of restaurants. His scheme was to
go after restaurants not in the
union. This was fixed at a confer
ence of which the mayor knew
nothing. He admitted going to the
mayors home twice before the fire,
but denied Reagan asked him to
go to the mayor to induce the
mayor not to force Reagan to
change his vote. on the French res
taurants. He was then excused
and Schmitz was called. A murmer
ran through the audience and the
crowd stood up.

When the witness was turned
over to Heney the latter asked:

restaurants" A long argument
followed on an objection. The
court finally ruled that Schmitz
must answer and the mayor said
he had not received the money.
