 You may cross-exam ine," said Mir Hawley. turning to Alto rney Richard san of the defense.
 The latter began without a moments hesitation.
 You were born in Cana da, you say?"
 Yes, sir" replied Orchard. who had sbifted his position quickly to face what was expected to be |. a long ordeal Looking past Richardson Or ehard gazed at the defendant.
 MT. richardson first wanted to know all the geography of Northumberland County, Ontario. where Orchard was born. The witness supplied the infor- nation unhesitatingly.
 Are your father and mother living" asked the attorney.
 NO, sir; they are both dead"
 Orchard said he had one brother and ada and some in New York State. Or chard gave the names of five of his sisters as Clara, Florence. Maggie, Ma bel and Edith. All were married ex- cept Edith, he said. but he could not remember the married name of only Brighton, Ont. His brothers name is Joseph Horsley. and lives at Wooler, Ont

 And you have another wife in Colo radoT
 Yes"
 You are a bigamist, then? T don't know what you call it"
 You were married twice and have two wives?"

 Richardson was very aggressive with the witness, hurling his questions in fast flying volleys and in tones harsh and rasping.
 Orchard said he ran away from Canada with another mans wife, gotng to Nelson, B. c. The woman's name was Hattie Simpson. Orchard went into the restaurant business for awhile. He then moved to Pilot Bay. B. C.. and ran @ boarding house.

 In Spokane. Orchard said, he adopted the name of Harry Orchard. From Spokane Orchard went to Wallace, Ida ho. where he acquired one-sixteenth interest in the Hercules mines now largely owned by Ed Boyce, former president of the Western Federation of Miners.

 You did not go away on the ocean to the Philippines or Honofulu?"
 NO, sir"
 But you told Pettibone you made such trip on a transport?"
 T may have. I won't say positively that did
 "Were you ever employed to watch and report things in the mining coun- tryT'
 "No. sir"
 Richardson's questions flowed at Or chard in such rapid succession that the l latter part of his answers were lost 1 in the rattle of new Interrogation. Hawley objected on the part of the State and the court admonished the at- torney not to cut off the witness. Did you tell Pettibone about burn ing a cheese factory and collecting the insurance?" "Yes."
 And that you had stolen the cheese and sold 1t prior to the fire" "Yes" Had Trouble In Utica, N. Y. And that you had an altercation with your brother in Utica, New York, and had pitchforked him?" l Yes" E.s r. ~e-- | Hold on just a moment" said Sen | ator Borah for the prosecution. "Mr. | Orchard, please tell us the date of this | conversation with Pettibone so we can connect it up with him?" l The attorneys for the defense were | silent evidently taken aback by the | sudden move. Tt was in 1904" said Orchard. Orchard said he had never as a mat | ter of fact, had any trouble before leaving Canada and never had been in | or near Utica. Court here adjourned until 9 o'clock | tomorrow morning when MT. Richard | sons cross examination will be re- | crr0Ad
