Durango semi-weekly herald., 1907-06-13

BOISE, luanO, June lU.-SteYe Adams
arrived here at noon in charge of a
deputy. He is accompanied by his at
torney, John Weurms OF Wallace, and
1t is now believed he will refuse TO
testify when put on the stand. The
cross-examination of Orchard was re
sumed as soon as court opened. He
first corrected one of his statements
to effect that it was Billy Aikman and
not Billy Easterly who had made
the experiments with him on the Pet
tibone dope" Richardson brought out
the fact that Hawley and Mcfarland
saw Orchard every morning before he
appeared on the stand and the lawyer
for the defense asked If they didn't
suggest how he could withstand cross
examination NO, sir" Orchard said,
but Mr.. Hawley spoke of what gave
me strength to go through the exam
nation"
Orchard has professed religion.
Denver, June 10.-The fifteen annual
convention of the Western Federation
of Miners met here this morning. Two
hundred delegates are present. Vice
President Mahory of Butte was in the
tchair. The following telegram was
sent to Boise:
Denver, Colo, June 10, 1907.
"Messrs. Meyer, Haywood and Petit
bone, Ada County Jail, Boise,
Idaho
THE fifteenth annual convention
sends greetings. We are confident of
your honor is vindicated and your free
dom assured. C. E. MAHONY."
Eoise, Idaho, June 11.-Harry Or
chard commenced his fifth day of grill
ing on the witness stand in the Hay
wood murder trial this morning. The
,Gagedies of two years of his life,
prior to the time the gates of the
penitentiary closed upon him, have yet
to be rehearsed in detail. Under
cross-examination the tax upon the
mans memory would appear wonder
full but thus far Orchard has stood
the test. If he goes through the ex-
animation today with as little con-
fusion in his statements as he has
evinced in the last few days, it will
have been perhaps the most remark
able exhibition ever given on the wit
ness stand.
Boise, June 11.-There was nothing
in the cross-examination of Harry Or
chard this morning that interfered
with his straight story. 1t seems i'm
possible to confuse or mix up this re-
markable man and he frequently cor
rects the lawyer examining him. To-
day Mr., Richardson continued to ques-
ton the witness about the attempts
he made upon the life of Fred Bradley
in San Francisco. Orchard said he
aroomed near the Bradley home, be-
ing able to overlook it from his bed
room window. The confessing wit
ness declared he had bought some
dynamite for bomb before the at
tempt to poison Bradley with strych-
= nine in the milk which failed. Or
chard thought it was the Judson Pow
der company that he bought the ex-
plosive from. Asked to describe the
appearance of the clerk who waited
on him Orchard said he was young
ish looking man. In buying the pow
der Orchard was required to give his
name. He could not remember what
name 1t was-a fictitious one. AS an
excuse for buying ten pounds of dyna-
mite Orchard told the clerk he wanted
to blow out some stumps on ranch.
Don't you know there are no stumps
within $50 miles Of San Francisco?
demanded Richardson. Il know there
are. I've seen them on the day to
Caliente Springs"
Victor, Colo, June 11.-Charles Ne
Vile, II years old, who with his father,
John Neville, and Harry Orchard, in
June, 1904, left Independence in a
wagon for Colorado Springs on the way
to Wyoming for a hunting and fishing
trip, left for Boise today. He will
appear as a witness for the prosecu-
tion in the Haywood trial.
Denver, June I1.-Secretary Kerwin
/ OF the Western Federation of Miners,
Just back from Boise, assured the con
vention now In session here today
that Steve Adams would not go on
cution but would do all he could in
the interest of the defense.
Boise, Idaho, June 12.-With the
resumption of the Haywood trial this
morning, the cross-examination ol
Harry Orchard was continued. Attor
ney Richardson questioned Orchard re
garding his conference with Meyer a
the latter's home in Denver April
1905. Orchard testified yesterday tha
Meyer, PettibCne and Haywood tolt
him at this time to go to Canon City
Colo, to get Governor Peabody.
Meyers home was in the Aberdeen
flats. Orchard said he went there o
bis own volition. He had not see
