in san Francisco Mr.. Hawley review

sent 70 Orchard in San Francisco by
George A. Pettibone. As TO the mo-
tive against Bradley. 1t was 10 show
to the world that the federation did

manager OF the Bunker Hill ana sui

Mr.. Hawley recalled to tho jury the
testimony regarding the registered
letter sent By j. Wolf in Denver to
Orchard IN san Francisco and con-
tanning 800. Wolf, clerk in Petit
bones store. testified that he sent the

Pettibone was acting legitimately as
banker for Orchard. why didn't he
send the money to him in his own
nameg Why should there have been
an attempt to mystify or conceal?
George Pettibone took good care to
see that his name was not connected
with the money transactions IN any
way" 48f
BRADLEY CORRoBERATED.
Mr.. Hawley declared that Orchards
statements as 10 the Bradley explosion
were corroborated and born out IN every
detail even by witnesses introduced by
the defense. AS to the gas theory Mr.
Hawley said that Immediately after the
explosion no other cause could be con-
ceived and II was natural that the gas
company Snpufl De SUED. IL WIS mot TO
be expected that witnesses who testi-
fled to the belief that gas had been the
cause. would admit now. In the light OF
Orchards confession. that they had
been absolutely mistaken and wrong.
Gas could not have broken In the tiled
floor of the Bradley vestibule as was
the case IN the explosion. Nothing but
dynamite could have acted In that way.
Mr.. Hawley said the testimony of the
gas expert introduced by the safe did
away with the impossible theory that
the gas was ignited by Bradey's cigar
He also rediculed the idea that enough
gas could have accumulated to have
caused such n terrific explosion without
the odor being detected throughout the
house.
why, II the hallway had been filled
with gas as We have been told. Mr..
Bradley himself would have been as
phyxiated before he could have reached
the FROM door The fact that nothing
was burned aslo upsets entirely the
notion that gas caused the explosion"
Az ne luncheon recess was ordered
until ? p. M. Mr. Hawley announced
that he would conclude during the
afternoon.
