STAND NOW BEING vERl-
FLED BY OTHERS.
DEFENSE CAN'T STOP IT
The Attack on the Bradley Home and
an discriminating Registered Letter
With Details.
Following Orchard.

With the cross examination OF Har-
ry Orchard completed, the state is
now ready to go ahead and furnish all
the details it has to corroborate Or
chard's story. This testimony will take
two weeks, it is said, and the defense
will require about four weeks.
l.. B. Guibbinni, the San Francisco
groceryman who introduced Harry Or
chard, then known as Barry" to the
servants in the Bradley household, was
the first witness. Guibbinni described
the result of the bomb Orchard placed
at the front door leading to the Brad
ley apartments in Washington street
The whole front of the house was
blown out. Guibbinni said he saw Or
chard at his store the day the eX-
plosion occurred.
The defense renewed its tactics by
moving to strike out the witness as
not connecting Haywood with the Of
Tense charged The motion was over
ruled.
Attorney barrow, on cross-examina-
ton, devoted himself to learning the
conditions under which the witness
was brought to Boise to testify. Cub
binni said the detectives came to him
and told him he had to come to Boise
and there was no use trying to dodge
it,"

just told me / had to come"
The prosecution called as the next
I,,II oh
ant postmaster at San Francisco, who
was interrogated as to the registered
letter Orchard said he received from
Pettibone while in San Francisco Or
chard said he was going by the name

Pettibone used the name of j. Wolff"

Mr.. McClaughrey produced the regis
try records of the San Francisco of
flee which show the receipt of the let
ter in question on August 10, 1904. The
envelope was postmarked Denver,
August 10, 1904"
The records showing the delivery of
the letter from 81. Wolff to John
Dempsey" were admitted in evidence
by Judge Wood over the protest of
the attorneys for the defense, who OBJ
jected on the ground that there was
nothing to connect the defendant Hay
wood with the matter. The receipt
signature John Dempsey was writ
ten SO badly that Haywood's attorneys
insisted it be not read but submitted
to the jurors for their inspection and
individual conclusion.
The only question put to McClaugh-
rey on the cross-eXamination had to
do with who requested his presence
in Boise. The witness said the Pink
ertons first came to him about the
matter.
Following McClaughrey came Frank
Isaacs, registry clerk in the San
Francisco postofflce, who further iden-
tilted the records introduced in evil
dence. On cross examination lsaacs
said he was subpenaed by Pinker-
ton.

defense.

was the introduction of Miss Pearl
Moore, of the Denver postoffice. She
identified an entry which she wrote
in the received registry book" which
showed the receipt of letter from a.
Wolff" 1925 Stout street, Denver adj
dressed to u. Dempsey, San Francis
CO."

Stout street at that timer" asked Sen
ator Borah.
