the evidence on Orchards alleged ex-
periences In the Occur D'Alenes and
witnesses endeavored to disprove his
statements that he was one of the men
who blew up the Bunker Hill and Sui

have some connection with the ex-
plosion at the Bradley residence. II

admission by Copley that Lyte

dered in Denver. was detective for
the mine owners. The state so far has
been unable TO get before the, jury any
reason for the killing of Gregory

mony of the Scotchman. Thomas Wood,
who was the first man to go over the
