BOtSE, IDAHO, June 7.-Counsel
Tor William ID. Haywood continued
'heir attack on tho testimony of Har-
ny Orchard ut both sessions of the
trial today. and conferred their strong.
pst assault on events beginning with
the explosion In the VindIcator mine
anu ending with the earlier meetings
between tho witness and the leaders
OF the Western Federation OF Miners
in Denver. To tho extent that traffic
with tho other side" In tho war of
labor and capital In Colorado was dis.
credited. they succeeded In dIscred-
iting tho witness.
Taking up the admission that Or.
chnrd made in direct examination Tint
no had been treachorous to his COM
rades In Cripple Creek by clipping
Off n train wreckIng plot. they deyel.
oped the fact that Orchard entered
the employ OF ID. G. Scott, VIII & hal
charge of the railway detectives. or.
chard said that with Scott III, had met
n. q. Sterling, u detective, In the
employ of the mine owners association
and that Scott had ypgld him.
He said that he had agreed 70 report
TO Scott but that he was lying to HIM, :
never Intended Ia make reports TO
MIN ana never did make reports. The
defense also tried TO show that he
cause he stood I'm with "the other
side" Orchard was never molested by
the militia In Cripple Creek during
the strike
Orchard admitted that Scott Ind
told him that IL the militia interfered
with him he was to send for him,
and that the militia never did inter-
fcre with him or search his house.
Got Too Much "Hard Work.n
Orchard said that he went to Scott
first pccause he had not been paid
Tor his work Mt the Vindlcator mine
and he was Jealous because he was
given hard work like the YindIcator
job while other men got the simple
task OF train wrccking by dispaclng n
rail. More crimes, great and small,
were added to Orchards record today. 4
The Cripple Greek woman with whom
committed bigamy had three SONS.
Orchard stole high grade ore from
mcssmnte; he stole two cases OF
powder from the Vindicator mine; he
stole powder to make one of the bombs
thrown into the indicator coal mine.
The defense endeavored In various
ways to throw tho shadow of doubt
and improbability around tho whole
Vinhicator story ana the alleged con-
neetion of w. :. Davis and William
Easterly with the affair and the cir
cumstances under which Orchard
testified he met Meyer and Haywood
and was paid for the commission OF 4
the crime; and to discredit Orchards
story that he was sent back to Cripple
Creek with unlimited credit and or
ders to commit any act of violence
that lie cared to.
Preparing to Contradict.
They confronted Orchard with East
eriy and Owney Barnes and paved the Z
way for the contradiction BY them of
the story told by Orchard; and sever
al times during the day paved the
way for the controvertion of his tes-
timony on material points.
Orchard stood the test and strain
very well. He held tenaciously to
the story he told yesterday and day
before. Suddenly. toward the close
OF the day the defense took up the
tfiD Orchard made to Southern Colo
RADIO with Meyer in the early part OF
1905 and showed that Meyer feared
to go south uneuarded because mine
owner official thugs" had beaten In.
nocent union men, and had sent for
Orchard to aid In protecting him.
1t was agreed that they should car
ry cutoff shot guns and sit in the +
center of the railway car so that IL
they were attacked they could defend =
themselves. Attorney Richardson in
questioning the witness made 1t very
clear that this had been perfectly
straight proposition free from any
fake"
Counsel Have Tits.
Counsel nared UP several times y
during the day. and In tho last pas
sage at arms Prosecutor Hawley said
that Attorney Richardson told false
hood when he intimated that Orchard
was n fixed" witness.
The trial goes on at $3.50 tomorrow,
when the cross examination OF Or
chard who has been on the stand for
three days, will be recalled. 3sS
