SUPPORTING THE REVENGE STORY First Direct Testimony Off, fered in Behalf of William D. Hay
 wood.
ORCHARDS LOSS
 OF HERCULES STOCK
States Witness Recalled to Allow State to Finish Impeachment Ques-
 tions.

Boise, Idaho, June 25.-The first di rect testimony in defense of William D Haywood was offered today. It wa' entirely directed toward showing that Harry Orchard. blaming Frank stuen
 berg for the loss of his interest in tht Hercules mine, had threatened to have revenge by killing him, and that tht conduct of Orchard and K. c. Sterling both before the Independence explosion when they were frequently seen to. gether and afterwards, when Sterling called off a bloodhound that was fol- lowing Orchards trial, justified the inference that the mine owners inspir- ed the crime.
 The calling of the first witness for tht defense was preceded by further ex animation of Orchard to permit the de. fense to complete it's formal inpeach. ment questions. These were nearly al in connection with the claim that Orch. ard killed Steunenberg because of an alleged grudge growing out of the sale of his interest in the Hercules mine Orchard again denied that he ever threatened to kill Steunenberg because of the Hercules mines and again assert ed that he sold his interest in the mine two years before the trouble that drove him out of northern Idaho
 Two witnesses called later in the day swore that Orchard did threaten to kill Steunenberg because of the Her cules matter and the defense has pre- pared the way for such testimony from dozen more witnesses.
 Dr I, L. McGee, mining broker of the Occur d'Alenes, another impeach- ing witness sWore that Orchard told him In 1904, at Wallace, Idaho, that he was 'spotter' for detective agency Orchard denied this' conver- sation; denied that he was in Idaho at any time in 1904.
 Several witnesses, principally women who kept lodging houses at Cripple Creek, located Orchard at various con- ferences with Sterling, the detective for the mine owners association, prior to the Independence explosion, and there was further showing as to meetings between Orchard and D. c. Scott, the detective for the Florence and Cripple Creek railway Another witness told of the effort to locate the men guilty of the Independence station outrage by starting bloodhound from the chair rung used in pulling off the mine explosion. He said the dog took the road to Colorado Springs, the one over which Orchard fled In the night and that when he reported to Sterling he got orders to call the dog off. Ster- ling said he knew who blew up the station and later said that Steven Ad- ans had done so.
 The state fought the admission of the blood hound story and also the admis- sion of evidence covering general fea- tutres of the Colorado labor law, but in both instances the court ruled with the defense.

STORY RIVALS
 EVELYN THAW'S Daughter of Judge Loving Testifies as to Shock ing Treatment of
 Estes. FATHER ON TRIAL
 FOR HIS LIFE. Physicians for Defiance Say That Jurist Was
 Crazed By
 Drink.

Houston, Va, June 25. - Between
 stifilng sobs, with tears streaming from
 her bright blue eyes, and while striv-
 ing to hold back the huge lump in her
 throat, Miss Elizabeth Loving, who has
 occupied the center of the stage in the trial of her father, Judge William G.
 Loving, for the murder of Theodore Estes, told on the witness stand here
 to-day the story of the alleged ruin by
 the young man, whom her parent shot
 down. The recital was probably the
 most dramatic ever heard in Virginia
 court of justice and rlvaled the story
 told by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw of her ruin by Stanford White. It was the same
 story she said she told to her father
 on the morning of the tragedy, and which eliminated in his hunting down and staying the man whom she charged with perpetrating the crime.
 Whether the story told by the nine teen year-old-girl to-day can be torn
 to pieces and disproved by the prescott tion remains to be seen, and on the dis proving of this story hangs the fate of the defendant, They claim that it can be shown that the outrage laid at the door of the man whose lips are sealed forever was impossible.
 The rebuttal evidence by the prosecu- tion will be probably the most import ant, though not the most sensational, evidence they already have that can be introduced Is yet to be determined, and legal battle on the point of ad- instability will be waged tomorrow, the defense has already announced that their case is nearing an end.
 Miss Loving admitted that she had taken two drinks with young Estes during the drive, the first one being while at Estes store. She was asked about the other occasions when it is charged that she drank whisleey, but the prosecution objected on the ground that 1t had no bearing on the case. The defense waived the questions for the present, but may insist upon sim liar ones lates in the trial Aside from the testimony of the young girl, the examination of two physicians con corning the possible insanity of Judge Loving at the time of the killing and the testimony of the defendant and Harry Snead were features of the trial.
 Dr. William Turnstall, of Lovingston, who saw Judge Loving before and af- ter the killing testified that he thought Loving committed the crime while in- sane, Tunstall Is q practising physic- ian of Nelson county. He based his theory that Judge Loving was insane on the fact that he failed to speak to him in passing before the killing and afterwards; that Loving's head hung low and he was pale" and also on his personal knowledge of Loving, who, he said, went on frequent debauches, ending In delirium tremens. Judge Loving, he thought was derang- ed for over an hour and half but in l applying for bail he appeared sane and | capable of conducting his own case.

 Condition.
RACE AN OPEN CONTEST

Poughkeepsie, N. r, June 25.-The thirteenth annual Intercollegiate regat- ta tomorrow will find no pronounced favorite among the seven crews at the start of the big varsity eight-oared race When the crews housed their shells this evening after the final prac- tice spin on the Hudson river 1t was generally admitted that the race was on open contest. With Annapolis making her debut at Poughkeepsie and show Ing surprising form In practice, with Cornell an uncertainty because of the eleventh hour crew changes, with the Improvement shown by Columbia, in fact, by all the college crews, opinion in the outcome of the four mile con- test was widely at variance tonight, thought Cornell has slight preference by those making wagers. All coaches reported their crews to be in excellent physical condition.
 There will be three races to-mor- row, the first the university four pared shells, without coxswains, two miles for the Kennedy challenge cup, in which Syracuse, Pennsylvania, Co., lumbia and Cornell will compete. The second race, the freshman eight-oared shells, two miles for the stewards cup, will bring together Cornell, Wisconsin, Syracuse, Pennsylvania and Columbia. The varsity race of four miles will find Columbia, Cornell, Syracuse, Pennsyl- vania, Georgetown, Wisconsin and 9n- napolis at the starting line.
 The crews indulged In only the slight est spins to-day Starts were practised late this evening near the training quarters, and then the coaches ordered the men to cease work,
 The question which every one is ask ing tonight is "Can the Annapolis crew, whose members are in the finest physical condition, because of the strict requirements of the school, maintain their stroke through four mile race
 The physical training at Annapolis will give the crew the stamina to go through the race, friends of the mid shipmen say. The high stroke is ex- tremely rapid and the slides only small
