what guarantee of greater safety is
there in increasing the guard?

Boise. IdaLo-The complete confes-
sion of Harry Orchard in the trial of
Haywood involved a record Of crime so
monstrous that when it had been fully
disclosed as the chief reliance of
the prosecution for convicting Hay
wood, the defense found latitude on
cross-examination which would have
been impossible had the witness been
confined to the murder of ~Steunenberg
alone, which he testified he had COM
mitted for money paid him by the in
ner circle of the Western Federation
of Miners, including Haywood.
Under 'cross-cXamination, Orchard
admitted stealing sheep he had no use
for and also that he had boasted of
committing a highway robbery in San
Francisco he had never committed at

FRISCO MAYOR ASKS RELEASE
SCHMiTZ APPLIES ON WRIT OF
HABEAS CORPUS.
Attorneys Declare imprisonment would
Cause His Death From
Disease.

San Francisco, Cal.-Mayor Eugene
Schmltz's attorneys applied to the dis
trict court of appeals for the release
of the mayor on bail on writ of habeas
corpus. Sixteen showings are made in
the appeal, and at least one of them
is decidedly sensational. 1t is a dec
laration by his attorneys that the
mayor is suffering from an incurable
disease and that Imprisonment in a
Jail would cause his death. 1t is I'M
derstood that the disease referred to
is an affection of the kidneys, and that
it has advanced 10 a serious stage.
The petition alleges that the section
of the penal code under which the
mayor was ordered into custody is I'M
constitutional in that the petitioner is
deprived of his liberty without due
process of law. The petition further
alleges that imprisonment of the
mayor is in furtherance of a conspiracy
by Rudolph Spreckels and others
through a coercive power vel the
board of supervisors, who have CON
fessed their guilt of bribery, to usurp
the office of mayor and secure full po-
litical control of the affairs of San
Francisco by removing all appointive
officers of the city by arbitrary, illegal
and revolutionary means.
By reason of the grave and serious
questions that must arise from carry
ing out such a scheme the petitioner
urges that the facts alleged constitute
such extraordinary circumstances as
will justify the court as a matter of
to bail.

Tales Are Hardly Credible.

The feature of the trial so far has
been the testimony or Orchard.
According to his own testimony, he
is a fiend incarnate. The tales that he
continued to tell from the witness
stand upon cross-eXamination and in
which he invariably figured as one OF
lie principals are hardly credible, and
unless the prosecution brings forth
strong evidence to support the story
of his crimes, which, he said, were
nearly all instigated by the Western
Federation Of Miners, it is hard to
conceive how a jury of fair-minded
men could convict the accused.
With a sang froid which possibly
has cen seer before in any
criminal under similar circumstances,
Orchard, by his own confession. stands
as the slayer of Is men, has admitted
that he abandoned wife and child, and
in his cross-eXamination has added ar
son to his already long list of crimes.
In fact, according to his own testi-
mony, which was brought out in a
grilling cross-eXamination, this man
has confessed to almost every crime
beginning with lying and petit lar
ceny.
He admitted that frequently he told
of exploits which existed only in his
own Imagination, but were related
with a view of gaining the admiration
of his friends for the temerity he dis
played in the commission of crime.
Orchard Is a Wary Witness.
For several days IN succession Law
sued the cross-eXamination of Or
chard concerning his confession of the
series of murders and plottings. The
witness, with remarkable stability, ad-
hered in the main to his story and
shrewdly refused to commit himself as
to precise dates.
1t was in regard to his having been
secretly in the employ of the mine
owners that the ties -imony brought the
most damaging admissions. This the
witness tried to explain by the claim
that he was embarrassing the enc
mics of the miners federation.
Haywood, in a telegram to the an
nual convention OF the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners at Denver, said that
Orchard was the greatest liar of the
twentieth century, and that he in
tended to take the stand to refute him,
adding that he would be a free man
inside of six weeks.
