Boise, Idaho, June 1.-THE prosecu
ton in the Steuenenkerg murder trial
today, entering in earnest on the cor
roboratiOn of Harry Orchards testi-
mOny, showed a continuous thread of
| evidence connecting George Petit
bones store in Denver with Orchard
at San Francisco while engaged on the
Bradley murder plot,partly developed
another direct line by which it is hop
ed to show that Haywood engaged and
paid Adams for the same desperate
work and added special touches to con-
firmation of Orchards general story
Officers of San Francisco and Den-
yer produced original records showing
that in August, 1904, registered let
ter was sent under the name of 81
Wolf from the address of PettibOne'S
store in Denver to j Dempsey at the
Golden West Hotel in San Francisco.
Orchard swore that he stayed at the
Golden West Hotel under alias that
was either Dempsey" or "Hogan,'
that Pettibone used the aliases Of
Wolf. and pat Bone," and thai
der the name of Wolf, Pettibone in the
month mentioned sent him a regis
tered otter containing S1O0 to pay ex-
pensesswhile attempting to kill Brad
ley.
Polios officers of Ogden established
the sarrest there in June, 1908, of
| Steve Adams and A. r. Williams
They were sealed in an east bound
car loaded with fruit. When arrested
! for trespass, each had a brace of re-
volvers. When released through the
| influence of detective, to whom Ad-
ans appealed as a Mason, they went
straight to the office of the Western
Union and sent a telegram to Hay
wood in Denver.
The defense headed off an attempt
to get the contents of the telegram
before the jury but the state indicated
that it would return to the charge la
| ter and further develop the incident
when it had broadeneC it's foundation.
| The state through an official of the
Western Union, produced the original
of telegram supposed to have been
sent by Attorney Fred Miller, of Spok-
aneN Aow recorded as one of HaywOod's
counsel, to Harry Orchard, be ore the
latter was arrested at Caldwell for the
lStuenenberg murder, but did
troduce it because it's indenti1catiOn
| is still insufficient. The state also
got an order from the court directing
the Western Union to produce its
records showing that Haywood sent
money to Adams at Ogden.
When the Ogden testimony was in
| troduced Adams was brought into
court under guard to be identified
Adams name has run all through the
trial but this was his first appearance
| in person.
Adams seemed to be in a defiant
humor and walked to a point directly
| ly in front of the jury and gazed
steadily at the witness confronting
him.
The state also produced several wit
nesses who confirmed features of Or
chard's story as to the Bradley AFFAIR,
the descent in Vindicator mine with
the object Of doing violence, the final
success of the VindicatOr plot and the
| circumstances under which Detective
! Lyte was killed. Aside from it's hght
| against the admission Of all the evi-
dence offered by the state on ground
that it was in no way connected with
the accused, the defense contented it
self with showing that all the witness
es had been found ard interviewed by
| PinkertOn detectives
