Fiandreau, s.. d., June 1S.-The trial
of the Kaufman murder case is near

estes that the case will go to the jurv
some lime Wednesday. The first Wit
ness called BY defense this afternoon
was CT e. Bray, a Sioux Falls livery
man, wWho for some years cared for
the Kaufman horses and vehicles at
his establishment. His testimony res
ferred largely to his having on six or
seven occasions known Mrs. Kauf-
mann having taken Agnes Polreis, her
domestic. driving with her At the
conclusion Of Bray's cross examina-
ton Judge Frank R. Atkins, of defend
ants counsel, announced that defense
rested. This was something of a dis
appointment to hundreds Of spectators
who had gathered in even larger num-
bers than during any of the previous
sessions in expectation that there was
possibility that Mrs Kaufman
would herself be called to the witness
stand. The state at once began re-
buttal testimony. ri

he wanted them to get his point of
view. He welcomed criticism which
was constructive, but he thought that
criticism which was merely an at.
tack without suggestion for i'm.
provement was worthless.
Senator Teller was the first speak.
er to voice the complaints felt by a
majority Of the members of the con.
vention. s@
He said they did not complain OF
the laws but that officials were the
sole laws. In speaking Of coal lands
he said that congress alone had pow
er to pass on the question Of policy
in disposing of these lands and tc
decide on what shall be charged fol
them. The policy in dealing with
agricultural lands should be to gel
them into the hands of those who
would live on them. He objected tt

bers wherever and whenever they got
into trouble.
s To combat the theory that Orchard
killed Steunenberg in revenge for his
loss of a valuable interest in the Her
cules mine, the state on direct exam
nation, Orchard declared that he
held his interest in the Hercules in
1897, two years before the strike and
troops came.
Defense attempted to modify this
by getting the witness to admit that
he had not sold his interest in the
Hercules, but had pledged it, and
could have taken it back any time up
to his flight from north Idaho and
before the coming of the troops, but
Orchard adhered to the statement
that he had sold outright.
There was long contest over the
unsuccessful effort by the state to
show that the confession of Steve
Adams had been voluntary It main
tanned that Adams had once discus
sed the matter freely with Attorneys
Hawley and Borah, but that was
about as far as it got, the court sus

The three letters written by Or
chard were commonplace and con
tanned practically nothing bearing
on the case or Orchards testimony,
except reference to an arrangement
which Orchard says he made with
the federation officials for the care
of his wife while he was absent.
The defense admitted the letters
and Orchards story about them when
it got the chance to cross examine
the witness, but Orchard held to the
story he told about them
Witness successfully denied that he
had made an arrangement for the de
livery Of the letters to the Pinkerton
agents; that the letters had only
made their appearance since he left
the stand last week, that he had in
vented the story because his wife
had Haywood's letter in her posses

largely devoted itself to showing that

Orchard identified two Of the let
tiers and, overruling all the objections
of the defense. Judge Wood admitted
them. Next Orchard swore that he
wrote third letter purporting to
come from Nome, Alaska, and that
under the arrangement he had made
with the federation officials, Marion
Moore, carried the letter to Nome,
where he went as an organizer of
the federation, and posted it. This
letter, bearing date of Nome, August
5, 1905, was produced, identified and
admitted as evidence.
Orchard then identified letter
which Haywood wrote to Mrs. Or
chard, and that too, was admitted
in evidence and handed to the jury.
It was as follows
