she stands at the head of hor profess

Gent artistic merit to make 1t alone worth
going miles to see. She is ably supported
this year by practically the same COM
pany of character players that was seen
here last season. Miss VIVA Ogden is
Miss HAY, the very soul OF pessimism.
and her work is fully as good as that
of Miss Helen Lowell, who created the
role and played It for three years Her
makeup Is wonderful. Charles Carter
an excellent character actor, who was
for some years seen as Cy Prime, with
Denman Thompson. was irresistibly fun
ny as Mr.. Stubb!ns. Mr.. Carter has few
equals on the stage as IN interpreter OF
eccentric comedy roles. Edith Taliaferro,
strikingly like Mabel in voice and ap-
Dearance, is seen to good advantage, as
Lovcy Mary, and is unusually talented
for one so young.
Miss Helen Raymond is still Mrs.
Elchorn. and II ever an actress was fitted
by nature for part, 1t Is Miss Raymond.
With the aid OF n skilful makeup. she
appeared to be about eight feet tall and
about as mean as she was tall. The other
unimportant roles are ably played by
competent players, and the only regret
felt by the audience was that the drama
list did not have four, instead OF three
acts. Mrs. Wigs will hold two recep-
lions at the Academy to-day, matinee

Admits Eighteen Murders.

On Thursday, Orchard crowned his
admissions of grave crimes when,
continuing his testimony against
William d. Haywood, he made an ex-
plicitly detailed confession of the
murder of Frank Steunenberg by an
Internal machine that directly opens
the way for his own conviction and
execution for the mortal offense.
He swOre that the assassination of
Steunenbefg was first suggested by
Haywood, was jointly plotted by Hay
wood, Meyer, Pettibone and himself
was financed by Haywood and was
executed by himself after the failure
of an attempt in which Jack Simp-
kins had participated.
Orchard lifted the total of his own
murdered victims to eighteen, de-
tailed the circumstances under which
he tried to murder former Governor
Peabody, Judge Goddard, Judge Cab
bert, General Sherman Bell, Dave
Moffat and Frank Horne Incidental
ly he confessed to a plan to kidnap
the child of one of mis- former asso-
ciates.
Wife Deserter and Bigamist.
Then, under cross. examination nv
the defense, Orchard confessed guilt
of the sordid social crimes of desert
ing his wife and young child in On
taria, fleeing to British Columbia
with Hattie Simpson, the wife of an
other man, and committing bigamy
by marrying a third woman at Grip
pie Creek. Through the shocking de-
tails OF murder plots, stories of secret
bomb making, and tales of man hunts
with sawed-off shotguns and Internal
machines as weapons, the witness
went on in the same quiet offhand
manner that marked his demeanor
the previous day. His voice dropped
to lower keys as the pitiful story of
the long hunt for Steunenberg mar
rowed down to the last day and he
told of the race from the hotel to the
home to beat his victim with the
death trap and the meeting in the
evening gloom as the victim walked

The Actual Assassin of Gov

Witness Stand.
CooIIy Recites Story of Brutal Crimes
Committed. and Declares That
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone
Praised Him for His Bloody
Work.

Boise, Idaho.-Harry Orchard, the
actual assassin of Ex-Governor Frank
Steunenberg, of Idaho. was placed on
the stand by the prosecutors for the
state on Wednesday, and began his
story by which it is hoped by the
prosecution to convict William d.
Haywood, now on trial for his life.
The story was told to a tense
nerved, rigid crowd that watched
with staring eyes for every move and
word of the confessing witness, a
crowd that was sickened and weary
of it's disgusting details long before
James H. Hawley, pleading illness of
himself at 8 o'clock in the afternoon,
secured adjournment for the day.
Orchard retained control of himself
almost from the moment he took the
stand, if he suffered much he did not
show it. His eyes were bloodshot and
his face notified in color when he
came into the room to confront the
men whose life he jeopardizes. He
