Cripple Creek, was in the employ ot

she will be relied to strengthen the as

Monday and Tuesday and possibly
longer. Orchard has now been on the
stand for IA hours.
The state had him in hand for near
" eight hours. In that time he told
a horrible tale of crime that spread
over the last II years of his life, the
first 90 years being the commonplace
story of a Canadian farm hand. But
beginning with 1897 he unfolded a ca
reer in which, to use the language OF
the leading counsel for the state, "as-
sassination was trace ana murder
means OF livelihood"
Orchard spared on incident of his
more recent life, under the questioning
state, that might prove to the jury
his readiness to slaughter for low
wage. ard how Indifferent he had been
as to the number or condition of his
victims. The story brought out by the
state WAS, ItINtNti, IlItiSiJ q - 49, pm

same time he was in the confidence of
the leaders of the Western Federation
of Miners.
Led on by Mr.. Richardson, Orchard
has stated that he was hired by Meyer,
president of the federation, to act as
his guard against alleged thugs said to
have been hired by the mine owners to
attack and terrori2e Meyer. From half
dozen states, witnesses will be called
to deny Orchards assertions.
Already two men accused by Orchard
of completely in the plots lie says were

named and William Easterly and Owney

Session after session since Orchard first
went on the stand a crowd has sought
admission. Every seat is filled before

Between counsel for the state and for

session there comes a quick exchange of
sharp words.
At times the situation becomes intense.

state, is quick to anger and downright in

Judge Fremont Wood is perhaps the
