TEAR ORCHARDS
STORY TO TATTERS
MEN IMPLICATED I'M ALLEGED
MISCONDUCT DENY HIS TIES
TIMONY.
ALSO TELL OF THREATS MADE
SAY ORCHARD SAID HE INTENDED
TO KILL GOV. STEUNEN-
BERG.

Boise, Idaho, July 3.-Max Malich,
Joe Mehelick and Billy Altman, three
of the men variously implicated in al
legged misconduct at Globeville, Den
yer and Cripple Creek, on the work of
Harry Orchard, went on the stand
yesterday as witnesses for William d.
Haywood and made denial of Or
chard's testimony.
Malich swore that Orchard and
not he, suggested the plot of dynamit-
ing a boarding house full of nonunion
men at Globeville, and that Orchard
originated the idea of killing William
Mcdonald, one of Malich's business
rivals.
Not "Pettibone Dope"
He said that he had been burned by
some mysterious acid thrown into his
house by an unknown hand, but denied
that this acid was really "Pettibone
dope" that had been left in his room
by Steve and Annie Adams. He also
denied that 'Pettibone DOPE had been
used in burning his store and said that
he was at his ranch when the fire &C.
Cured. He also swore that Orchard
had told him that but for Gov. Steu-
nenberg he would be rich and that he
intended to kill Steunenberg.
Deny Orchards Story.
Mehelich and Altman, who followed
Malich, also made circumstantial de-
NAL of all the things that Orchard
swore they did with him. The cross
examination of all three witnesses
showed a purpose on the part of the
state further to deal with their testi-
mony when the case in rebuttal is
reached.
Eugene Engles, formerly attorney
general of Colorado, AYERS that Or
chard told of loss of rich share in

ton to kill Steunenberg. Engles told

Boise, Idaho, July 3.-Morris Fried
man, the stenographer who left the
employ of the Pinkerton agency at
Denver to write book in which Re
published certain correspondence Of
the agency that passed through his
hands, was again yesterday the prin-
cipal figure at the Steunenberg mCr-
der trial More than half of the day
was occupied in reading to the jury
copies of the documents that Fried
man took from the Pinkerton records.
They were chiefly the daily reports of
secret agents operating as spies among
the union men, and showed
Complete Surveillance
of the Western Federation of Mine
Workers of America during the labor
troubles in Colorado in 10000. Pink
erton men sat in the Federation con-
vention at Denver in 1904, reporting
all proceedings. None Of the reports
that were read to the jury contained
other than general references to the
collateral issues of the trial, but they
were offered in substantiation of the
claim of the defense that the Pinker-
ton agency conspired for the destruc-
ton of the Western Federation Of
Miners and the lives of it's leaders.
State Attacks Friedman.
The prosecution attacked Friedman
on the ground that he had played the
PinkertOns false, had violated his
pledge to them and had stolen the
documents which he produced, but the
witness would not admit that he had
stolen the papers. He insisted that it
was not stealing to take information
that had been obtained by deceit. He
said that if he had known this trial
was coming up he would have taken
many more letters and reports.
Misuse of Militia.
Another interesting witness was J. I.
Wallace, an attorney of Cripple Creek,
who served with the militia, first as
private and then as lieutenant, dur
ing the strike Of 10000. He related
several instances as tending to show
the misuse of the power of the militia
by the mine owners; gave the criminal
records of some of the gun fighters
imported by the mine owners; told of
the working of the card system; re-
cited the circumstances connected
with the footing of the union stores
and newspaper office, and swore that
he saw K c. Sterling, chief detective
for the mine owners, fire the first shot
in the Victor riot the day of the indie
pendence station incident.

man, formerly an employe or the
Finkerton detective agency at Denver,
who published his adventures and
many of the conf lential reports that
passed through his hands in an attack
on the agency, was 4 witness oatur-
day in behalf of William D. Haywood.
He told how the PinHertons Lad sent
spies into many Of the important
unions of the Western Federatis of
Miners.
The call from the defense for Fried.
man to take the stali produced one OF
the greatest sensations of the trial.
BY name and operating number
Friedman identified a dozen detectives
who succeeded in entering or getting
very close to the miners union III
Colorado, and he produced volumin-
Gus copies of the reports they made to
the agency for transmission to the
mine owners
Spies Are Consistent.
Friedman was confidential stenog-
rapher under Detective Mcfarland,
and, so he testified, it was part of his
duties to copy the reports of the opera
tives as they reached the Office.
Friedman swore that in several in
stances the detectives sent out by the
agency in behalf of the mine owners
managed to get themselves elected to
high office in the unions and that in
couple of instances they carried
their roles to the extent of sharing all
the hardships of the strikers and
finally being deported from the coun-
try with them.
Tried to Beggar Federation.
Friedman said that one Pfnkerton op-
erative became chairman of the union
strike relief committee at Globeville,
and as such had charge of all the
funds disbursed there by the local
union and general federation.
Friedman said that under instruc-
lions from his superiors at the Pinker-
ton agency this man first tried to beg
gar the federation by lavish expen-
diture in behalf of the strikers. and
failing in this he cut the relief down to
the lowest point in the hope that the
members of the union might censure
Haywood.
