take his statements WITH grain OF

most emphatic corroboratlve tcsti-
mony must be produced by the prose-
cution to remove the doubts which
may linaer In the minds OF the gen.
eral readers as to the guilt OF the ac-
cused.
In the entire confession 1t will be
noted that Orchard Is specific and
connected In every statement, which
viii convince any one that he has the

fact that IL will take strong evidence
to Convince the Jury Of falsehood II
IL exists. So far as the confession Is
concerned, corroboIative testimony

people OF the truth OF many II not all
OF his statements.
1t seems that Orchard wishes TO

repented OF Ills crimes, and has been
forgiven by the Most High. This
may he why he eonfesses To crimes
which has no connection whatever
with the case which Is now on trial,
In recent interview Dean Kinks
claims TO believe that Orchard has
made his peace with his Maker, and
for this reason Is willing To take the
consequences OF his dlaholical crimes
against both the laws OF God and
mau.

says, No murderer can enter Into

"We will show you, gentlemen OF
the iuIy," Mr.. Hawley continued
.'that the inner circle Of the western
Federation of Miners, composed OF
this defendant and his codefendants,
gathered about them few choice
spirits. Murder was their trade ana
assassination as means OF liVeh-
hood. They even had scale Oh
wages, fixing a price for dlfierent
crimes.
"Among those who committed the
crimes at the behest OF the inner
circle. and who were paid for them
from the emergency fund, were one
Harry Orchard and one Steve Adams.
The crimes were but mere incidents
of the larger purpose and objects OF
the big conspiracy. We VIII snow

Federation OF Miners is responsible
