s.s...ss.... was responsible for the blowing up of the depot that he knew all about it and | we expect to connect Orchard with the 1 Miners Owners association" "Upon the showing the evidence will | be submitted" declared Judge Wood Steve Adams.
 T called Sterling up and told him the ! dogs were on n good, safe trail. He re- piled: Call the dogs off we know who did it. I called the dogs off. Some days later l saw Sterling and he told me the reason he called the dogs off was that l he knew who committed the explosion, that 1t was Steve Adams" On cross examination McGee said he did not know either Orchard or Adams; that Sterling told him nothing about Adams other than he was the man who blew up the depot.
 Next came F. F. Redd, miner now living at Goldfelds, Nev., but formerly of Cripple Creek. Redd said he did not know Harry Orchard a long while. In union hall, November 1. at Cripple Creek, in 1903, he said he had a conversation with Orchard in which the latter called Governor Steunenberg hard names and said he was responsible for his (Orchard's) poverty and that he would get even with the governor.
 Darrows Argument.
 MT. Darrow here precipitated heated and long argument by asking the witness to detail his personal experiences in the Cripple Creek labor troubles. MT. flaw ley voiced for the prosecution a strenu- ous objection, declaring the labor war In Colorado had nothing to do with the inquiry into the murder of Governor Steunenberg. He declared that the ques- ton was asked for the purpose of pos sibly arousing sympathy by showing that the Colorado militia may have done things that it ought not to have done
 Mr. Darrow in reply asserted that the prosecution could not pick out of the history of the last few years the isolated incidents 1t wanted to place before the jury and then shut the defense off in its purpose to present the other side of the case as to who was responsible for the acts complained of. Mir. Darrow once more made the declaration that if Or chard committed the crimes he has con- fessed to, he acted for some one other than the Western Federation of Miners. The whole history of the labor troubles associated with the Western Federation of Miners could alone locate the respoh- sibility, declared the attorney.
 Redds Experience.
 Judge Wood allowed the witness to give his experience.

Hawey, Redd declared he a member of the West ern Federation since the organization was formed. One day after the Independence depot explosion het was taken to the 'bull pen.''
 Military officers were In control at the "bull pen" where there were 15O men confined when the witness was arrested. Asked if he did not know that the militia were merely Investigating the de- pot matter and as son as they learned a man had nothing to do with it he was allowed to go Redd said he knew noth- ing about 1t at all. He said he never had seen Steve Adams until he came to Boise Redd was released by the colonel commanding the "bull penn" who told him on leaving that if he was molested to let him know and he would see that he was released. The witness said the colonel also advised him that it might also be a god plan to leave Cripple Creek while existing conditions lasted. He left two days later and has mot been back since.
 Wlner on the Stand.
 Charles A. Sullivan, watchman at the Brown hotel. Denver, and a former miner Tn Cripple Greek district followed Redd upon the witness stand.
