 The cross examination by Attorney Richardson was directed to an effort to show that the company kept pow der stored on the sixth level where the explosion occurred. Johnson said some powder had been stored on the
 eighth level. but that so far as he knew none was stored on the sixth. Johnson said he was first spoken to about coming to Boise by Floyd Thompson, secretary of the Miners Association. He consulted with the Pinkertons before coming and was fur pished with expense money by them. NHere the prosecution veered to a new course, introducing a witness to corroborate Orchard when he said l Adams to California to get" Fred
 Bradley in 1903. J. H. Mcintyre, a 1 special officer of the Southern Pacific Company. testified to arresting Adams and another man in a sealed fruit car | which had arrived in ogden from Cali fornfa.

Orchard testified that Hay wood had said Adams got in some | trouble ,en route home and he had to
 send him some money at ogden. The defense objected to McIntyres s testimony as having nothing to do F.
 Judge Wood ruled to admit 1t. McIntyre's testimony was corrob- Eorated by City Jailor Synder. of Og-
 den. The charge against Adams and his companion was that of trespass-
 ing.
 The next witness was J. F. Fender, city detective of ogden. Over the pro- test of the defense, the witness was al- lowed to detail conversation he had | with Adams at the time of the latter's arrest.
 Adams first asked him if he was a
 Mason.
 T said was." said Fender, and he
 asked me if I would not try to help
 him out of his trouble. said I
 would. Ifalso went with him to the
 telegraph office to identify him to the cashier as he said he expected some
 money soon.'

 you were there" asked Senator Borah. "'Yes, sir"
 ITO Whom?"
 ITO W. D. Haywood, Denver"
 Do you remember the contents of
 the telegram"
 Yes, sir"
 State them"
 The defense interposed a successful
 objection, saying the original tele- | gram was the best evidence. The attorneys for the defense con tented themselves with such develop
 ing that the Pinkertons requested Fender to come to Boise.

 Western Union Telegraph Company,
 identified the copy of a telegram
 which he said was received in the
 Boise office for Thomas Hogan, by
