The Detectives Suspicious

AS result of this excitement taking place in the
n immediate vicinity of the Marshfield train and
express robbery a number of detectives were at the
meetings; among them Government officer, who
visited that point partly of curiosity and partly
for the purpose of chance discovery in his line.
The Government detective went about the grounds
questioning the keepers of the lemonade and pie
stands, and learned that there was a great
amount of counterfeit money afoat. He was told
that number of counterfeit two-dollar bills had
found their way into the contribution box A large
collection welcome feature of the occasion
Much of this good fortune was attributed to the
persuasive force of Elder Billings. This goodly man
did not seem to set much value affairs of worldly
nature, consequently he gave little heed to the kind
of money that taken in. His pious mind seemed
ever far away, and he appeared quite oblivious to
the sordid things of this earth.
The Government detective, who was attending
the meeting, was evidently carnal minded fellow
always the lookout for business. In the course
of his walks about the camp, he by chance met
man whose face seemed familiar A suspicion crept
into his brain that he had the fellow before and
that he ought to be looked after. Detectives are
always looking for something to turn UP in their
line. Hence the suspected one followed from
point to point, until he finally stepped into the inner
circle of the revival near the speakers stand The
detective took seat to and in front of the plat
form. Looking meekly around, the better to i'm
press those about him with his sincerity of purpose
he cast his eyes to the front just in time to see
Brother Billings rise and begin speaking.
The detective now felt quite at and was able
to look squarely into the face of the speaker Peer
ing at HIM tor moment, he raised his hat in front
OF his breast Bowling his head little, he reached

Crimes in this particular section OF the West

train robbery the sensation of the hour. 1t had
been perpetrated by the Reno gang only few weeks
before, and had aroused the people to a sense of
their duty At no time during or Immediately fol-
lowing the Civil War had there been much
element among law abiding citizens. They were
now fully awakened to the existing conditions and
quite ready to bear hand to adopt measures
for checking the avalanche of crime that seemed to
be the increase. The churches of every denomi-
nation enlisted in the Hence, the neces-
sity for religious gathering step that was viewed
as of the best for bringing about change.
Bounty jumping had been succeeded by counter
feting and robbery. Nearly half of the money in
circulation in that part of the country bogus.
Since the local officers appeared to be unable to en-
force the law, the people were determined to act
themselves. That which followed in the way of
dealing out summary justice to the leaders of the
Reno gang and others undoubtedly had its origin
at this gathering. The people, becoming fully
aroused to what was going on around them, were at
imbued with spirit of resistance and were
determined to enforce the natural law OF et tdonts
There was also eventful feature connected with
this church gathering that brought them still
fully to realizing sense of the necessity for taking
immediate action. The meeting a pretty
affair
Among the speakers who were there to assist in
the shaking up Elder Billings, a who had
appeared in the adjoining village in the early days
of the revival He travelling with his wife about
the country in a spring wagon. His mission was to
distribute religious tracts and offer for sale re-
Igous work OF some popularity. This elder was
of seeming grace and striking mold nearly six
feet in height, erect, and broad chested There

cses going at the grove. Here his fine pres
ence and well rounded far reaching voice attracted
much attention. As the light beaming from his
steel gray eyes gave mellow and enchanting in
spiration to his we'll chosen words, many people
bowed their heads in reverence. Not of the
many well known speakers appeared to make a
deeper impression upon their listeners than did this
stranger brother.

1t Required Great Nerve

THE suddenness of the discovery and the solennity
i of the occasion far overcame the detective
that he was unable to determine what to do. He
lacked at first the courage to make arrest; but
after bordering upon the affair for time and con-
suting deputy sheriff who CHANGED to be there
consequences. 1t was bold push seemingly and
required great deal of nerve the part of the
officers to step up and arrest the elder, who had
engaged in a private conversation with one of the
ministers.
The detective, who was now somewhat flushed
with excitement, pushed his way abruptly up to
the elder and informed him that he prisoner

graph which he without attracting attention placed
in the crown of his hat. The picture was that of a
heavily bearded man; but it bore striking resem-
blance to the speaker, who clean shaven. The
detective shifted his eyes from the speaker and
looked down into the crown of his hat. His mind
for a moment became confused, as from sudden
blow. On recovering himself, he looked once more
at the elder, who was at the moment pleading to the
sinners present to come forward and cast their lot
with the saved.

Boise, July 9.-The defense In the
SteuDenberg murder case today
charged that Detective James Nc
ParlaDd has been guilty OF an at
tempt to manufacture testimony
against william u. Haywood, but
was unsuccessful ir getting the basis
and details Of TIN, charge before the
court and jury.
Aiva A. Swain, "A newspaper cor
respondent who represents the Pueblo
Chieftain at Denver, was called to
the stand and questioned rs to con-
yersatlon he had with Detective Nc
Parland In Denver last fall. Senator
Borah, for the state, objected to the
conversation on the ground that no
foundation had been laid.
Clarence Darrow, for the defense,
who was examining Swain, explained
that the testimony was offered Tor
the purpose Of showing tina. there
existed a conspiracy between the
mineowners and the Pinkertons to
secure the conviction and execution
OF the prisoner.
mcfarland approached this wit.
ness In an attempt to manufacture
testimony" he declared. And |
believe we have a right to show It,"
Judge Wood said there was nothing
In the evidence that furnished a
proper foundation for the introduce
tion Of such testimony, and sustained
the states objection.
| The defense took an exception and
said that II would later make another
attempt to secure the admission.-ol
SWANS testimony. Counsel for the
defense are evidently counting on
reaching the matter through McPar'
land himself, but it is quite probable
that the state will not call McPar.
land as a witness.
1t is claimed by the defense that
Mcfarland told Swain that he hao
a letter from Harry Orchard saying
that when Haywood paid him for the
Vindicator job he took him to one OF
the Denver banks to draw the money
and that when they came out OF The
bank Swain was standing at the door
and saw them.

land that he could not remember the
incident, whereupon Mcfarland I'M

IL as evidence and significantly
urged him to recall it and become
witness 10 the case.
Detective Mcfarland denies that
be ever suggested anything improper
to Swain. lie says he got the letter
as described by Orchard, who swore
that Swain was at the door OF the
bank on the day In question, there
being a run on the bank, and that be
believed Swain might remember nav

Swain the latter said he would not

there dropped the matter and did not
again see Swain.
Allen Il. Gill, formerly mechanic
of the Tiger & PoOrman mine and
later city engineer OF Spokane, and
bis wife, Mrs. Gill, were also wit
nesses for the defense today. They
Jointly related that Harry Orchard
attempted to sell them his interest in
the Hercules mine In February and
March, 1899, which was just prior to
his departure from the Occur d.
Alenes, and Mr.. McGilI who saw Or
chard In Spokane month before he
killed Steunenberg, testified that Or
chard said that 1t was because oil
Steunenberg that he lost his interest
In the Hercules mine.
Other than for the interest and re.
lief afforded by the introduction OF
the three witnesses named, the en-
tire day was given over to reading
the rest of the San Francisco deposi'
tions. The men who built the Lin
forth flats, the plumbers who put in
the lightning system, the iremen
who came after the explosion and the
contractors and their men who made
the repairs all deposed to great
length and detail. The weight Of
their tales seemed to favor gas ex
plosion, but none OF the testimony
was conclusive, and the whole ques
ton involved will be fought before
and decided by the jury. The last
of the Opponents knew Harry Or
chard and from him heard the story
of the Hercules mine with the usua
threat that he was going to fl,
Steunenberg for driving him out o.
the country.
The day began with a continuance
of the testimony of j. b. Reilly, wht
lived in the Bradley apartments II

he had passed the apartments but {
few minutes before the explosion anC
saw a Japanese servant cleaning thu

nection with the union, or where the

ization always to protect its members
and the organization where charges
have been brought against them."
