TRIAL OF JUDGE LOVING.
Evidence in Hand to Put New Phase
on the Case.

oA IhS S"o0s
Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND. Va, June 1.-THE evidence
to be introduced in the trial of Judge Low
ing will put an entirely new phase on the
case when the trial begins at Houston
said one Of the best known lawyers in the
state and who is not in any way concerned
in the case and who does not want to be
mentioned. The gentleman is we'll known,
however, and for dong time on the
bench in one of the courts of the state
The fact that Miss Loving, Judge Loving
nor any one else of the defense has said a
word in connection with the tragedy shows
good taste and good sense the lawyer went
on. Il know enough to say that when the
evidence is heard there will be a surprise
for those people who have made hasty con-
illusions in the matter. l am not at liberty
to suggest just what the evidence is, and
have no desire to become involved In the
case in any way
There have been suggestions from time to
time that the names of other ladies than
Miss Loving would figure in the case when
the trial began. but this has been denied.
1t Is not known just what the startling
evidence may be- but whatever it may be,
there is no question at this time that the
public believes that Judge Loving has made
a great mistake and that he stands
very good chance for going to the peniten-
tiary for a long time. Of course, this be-
lief Is based on what has been told and
been reported in the papers, though not one
word has been uttered as to the real facts
in the from the Loving side. Counsel
for Judge Loving are not talking about
what they expect to prove.
There is a report that when the case Is
called at Houston, Va, June "a that there
is to be an effort made to have 1t go
over for some time making the trial for the
first part of October. Just which side is to
make this move, If it is to be made, cannot
be learned. but that report is in circulation
here. Judge Barksdale is not a man to
postpone the case unless there good
reasons for it. The sheriff has summoned
sxty-four veniremen from which to select
the jury which will try Judge Loving.

Orchard was living near the Preside at
the time he bought the dynamite for the
Bradley bomb. He did not remember
whether he took a box of giant caps to
San Francisco or bought them at the JUDD
son company. Orchard kept the dynamite
in his room and took it with him when he
moved to 1326 Washington street-within
half block of the Bradley home.
Walls Shattered.
Orchard said the morning he placed the
bomb at the front door of the Bradley
house people were passing on their way to
work The lead bomb was inside a wooden
box. Orchard took a downtown car and
was out of earshot before the explosion oc-
CURED.
From the examination of the place after
the explosion, don't you know that the
walls We're blown out instead of in?" asked
Mr.. Richardson.
.'They were all shattered"
Orchard said that Bradley opened the
door he would be sideways to the bomb,
and the explosion would be more likely to
blow him out than in.
Conceived Poisoning Idea.
Orchard said it was after he had seen the
milk delivered to the Bradley back door
several mornings in succession that he con-
ceived the idea of poisoning his victim
rather than to use bomb.
With the failure of the milk plot he went
ahead and manufactured the bomb first
buying a piece of fve-inch lead pipe. four
teen inches long. Orchard said he bought
the pipe in a plumbing shop Taylor
street, somewhere in the 300 block.

ing, were driven directly 10 the Wnlte
House.
The Denver Convention.
Senator Carter Of Montana, who Is great
ly interested in the work to be. done by the
public lands convention in Denver on the
18th Of this month. talked with President
Roosevelt today about the coming gather
ing. When Senator Carter was asked about
the story that the presence at the conven-
ton of Secretary Garfield Secretary Will
son, Commissioner Ballinger of the gen.
eral land office, Clifford Pinchot. chief for
ester. and other government officials was
for the purpose of attempting to stem the
tide of opposition to the administration and
it's land policies, he said he did not believe
this true.
He said he supposed the convention would
recommend some changes in existing land
laws 1t would meet to consider the desir-
ability of certain changes. He pointed out
that laws governing public lands in the
Missouri valley region, for instance. were
inappicable to conditions in the semi-arid
regions. There should be, he said. re-
vision Of land laws to suit different condi-
lions.
Senator Carter thinks 1t possible that the
convention will recommend that In the case
of coal and timber lands a full section be
allowed to a claimant, instead OF one
quarter section, as now. 1t is believed that
this will permit Of greater and wider de-
velopment Of the mineral resources Of the
west. He also believes that where the
mineral interests are reserved by the gov
eminent the state in which the land Is sit
uated should receive whatever royalty re-
suits from development Of the resources.
Few Callers Received.
Callers received by the President today
were few. The work Of the White House
was devoted to getting in readiness for the
departure of the President for Oyster Bay
tomorrow morning. Commissioner Lane OF
the interstate commerce commission was
with the President short time Mr.. Lane
would not talk about the formal report
that Is to be made by the commission re-
garding Hartman and the Alton road.
At 2:3O o'clock this afternoon the Presi-
dent received Ambassador and Mrs. Creel
of Mexico, who desired to say farewell.
The Cabinet Meeting.
Six of the nine members of the cabinet
were present at the cabinet meeting today.
and each cabinet member sought to place
before the President all the unfinished bust
ness of Importance pending in his respec-
tive department. The meeting was late In
finishing it's work. By disposing Of de-
partmental matters needing the attention
of the chief executive he will not be both

he goes in the hope Of getting a genuine
rest.

taries Taft and Metcalf and Postmaster
General Meyer.

Mr. Richardson will not conclude until to-
morrow In fact. there is an idea that one
of the purposes of the close and exhaustive
detail Is to wear the witness out. but. I'M
less all signs fail, Orchard will be the last
man to give way under the strain.
When Orchard resumed the stand at the
opening of court today Attorney Richard-
son continued to question the witness ABOUT
the attempts he made upon the life of Fred
Bradley in San Francisco Orchard said
that he roomed near the Bradley home, be-
ing able to overlook 1t from his bedroom
window The confessing witness declared
that he had bought some dynamite for a
bomb before the attempt to poison Bradley
with Strychnine in the milk failed.
Orchard thought It was the Judson Pow
der Company that he bought the explosive
from.
Asked the appearance of the clerk who
waited on him. Orchard said he a
youngish-looking man.
In buying the powder Orchard was re-
qulred TO give his name. He could not re-
member what name 1t was-a fictitious one.
AS an excuse for buying the ten pounds of
dynamite Orchard told the clerk he wanted
TO blow out some stumps on his ranch.
Tale About Stumps
Don't you know there are no stumps
within 100 miles of San Francisco?' de-
manded Richardson.
Il know that there are-Ive seen them
on the way to Caliente Springs"
Orchard gave as nearly as he could de-
scriptlon of the various places where he
had lived while in San Francisco before
moving to the Bradley neighborhood. He
could not remember the names or the
streets or the numbers of the houses.
Next Orchard told of a pleasure trip he
had taken to Caliente Springs while wait
ing for Bradley to return from Alaska,
played cards while there"
