Up to This Time 1t Has Not
Been Shown He Was Direct
Iy Implicated in the Crimes
Committed by Orchard.
TRIAL WILL BE RESUMED
TUESDAY MORNING.
Orchard Was Taken to Cald-
well Where Case Against
Him for Actual Murder of
Stuenenberg Was Delayed.

Boise. June lit is reported that
attorneys in the Haywood case are dis
appointed in the evidence by McPart-
land and others which fails TO directly
connect Haywood with the crimes adj
mitted by Orchard. Numerous wit
nesses will be called by the state to
prove Orchard had a personal motive
in killing Steunenberg.
The trial will be resumed Tuesday
morning when the state will continue
the introduction of evidence in sup
port of the Orchard story and endeav-
er further to link the defendant with
the conspiracy to murder Steunenberg
as outlined by Orchard in his eonfes-
sion.
Harry Orchard, the chief witness in
the case. was taken to Caldwell. Can
yon county, today where the case
against him for the actual murder of
Steunenberg was called and postponed
until the next term of court. Judge
Fremont Wood who is presiding in
the Haywood case. held court in Can
yon county. acting for Judge Bryan.
who is disqualified in the Orchard
case because his partner is or was
counsel for Orchard at the time of his
arrest. Orchard was in the charge of
Warden Whitney of the Idaho peniten-
tiary and a force of guards.
The adjournment of his case was
merely a perfunctory matter. not TAX
ing more than a few minutes. The
prisoner was at once brought back TO
prison.
Orchards Story corroborated.
So far the evidence has been cor
roborative of Orchards story of his
many crimes in major and minor de-
tail The direct connection of Hay
wood has yet to come out in evidence.
Certain evidence has linked him with
Adams. whom Orchard says was his
partner in number of crimes. Doc
umentary evidence shows Haywood's
connection with Jack Simpkins, but as
Simpkins was a member of the execu-
tive board of the Western Federation
of Miners, of which Haywood is still
the secretary and treasurer, counsel
for the defense contend that the drafts
were drawn in the regular course of
1He I0ueTdtlOH anu THAT pIOuuctlOH OI
drafts from Haywood to Simpkins have
no connection with conspiracy, being
in fact on the records of the fedora
tion.
Simpkins is named in the indictment
with Haywood. Meyer and Pettibone,
but he has not been arrested.
1t is rumored that the whereabouts
of Simpkins is known and that he will
be produced as witness at the proper
time. Counsel for the defense and
prosecution do not confirm this report.
Ii is probable that the case in direct
for the state will rest by the end of
this week.
Counsel say that it will take at least
until Friday next to conclude Ad-
ans may be called to the stand in a
j9w days. but this is not certain.
\ strong effort will be made TO get
Adams's repudiated confession before
the jury. and will. OF course, be fought
vigorously by the defense Lawyers
who know the history of the prosecu-
tion of Adams and his confession ex-
press doubt as TO the possibility of get
ling the confession in.
Will Use Printed Articles.
On Tuesday the state will offer in
evidence copies of certain printed arti-
cles over Haywood's signature show

against Steunenberg when the = asor
