OUTLINE DEFENSE OF HAYWOOD
Richardson and His Associates VIII
Set Forth Counter Plot.

Boise, Idaho, June 17.-That Orchard
was a wonderful witness cannot be
denied and that all the cross-uuestlon-
ing of Richardson only helped to
strengthen the testimony of the state
is also true, but for all this there is
nothing but optimism expressed by
Haywood's legal regiment in the cele-
brated case on trial here. So far
these men haze been purely on the de-
fensive. Next week they expect to
carry the war into Africa and they
promise a sensational campaign.
The star witnesses will be put for
ward by the defense and the promise
Is made that their testimony will be
TO less alient than that of Orchard
himself. One of those men will be
Haywood and the other Steve Adams,
although Adams was first listed as a
witness for the state. He made a con-
fesison corroborating Orchards story.
Then, as soon as he got an attorney,
he repudiated this statement abso-
lutely, declaring it was eXtorted from
him by Detective Mcfarland, through
threats and promises. Immediately aft
er he was taken to Wallace, Idaho, and
placed on trial for the murder of
Fred Tyler, The jury disagreed, stand
ing seven for conviction to five for
acquittal. Detective Mcfarland, how
ever, seems determined to have his
point if possible and it has been an
nounced that Adams will be taken to
Telluride, Colo, for trial for the MUIR
der of Collins. superintendent of the
Smuggler Union mine.
Adams takes his situation philosoph-
ically. He feels that every public Of
ficiars hand is against him and that
the officers are determined to have

state or another, he docs not give a

FIGHTING BOB" IN MIMIC WAR
Stumbles With Battleships Into Mimic
Game of Warfare.

The battleships Connecticut and AL
ALBANIA, in command of Rear Admiral
Il. d. Evans, were totally destroyed"
while passing through the narrows on
their way from the jamestown eXpOsi-
ton to the New York navy yard. Ad-
miral Evans, who evidently had not
been apprised of the war game which
has been going on at the narrOws for
week past, was much amused
man at the sudden roar Of the guns.
He rushed to the bridge of the Con
necticut and gaZed at one of the forts
and then at the other. One of his Of
ficers enlightened him about the sham
war" between the forts named by
regular coast artillerymen and national
guardsmen and small boats manned
by regulars representing a hostile
fleet, the purpose of which was to
test the alertness of the guardians of
the sea approach to New York city.
The officers at Forts Hamilton and
WadsWorth learned from Fort Hancock
at Sandy Hook that two real battle
ships were passing in the hook. 1t
was jokingly decided to destroy"
them, and the forts 'gunners" turned
out accordingly. The fog was dense,
ard the Alabama got within 1000 yards
of Fort Wadsworth before being seen.
The Connecticut was about 500 yards
astern as the two mortars were fired
at the two battleships. Presently 1t
was announced at the forts that the
battleships had been sunk. NeVerthe-
less the IL and 6 inch guns were
used and the result was double destruc-
ton. Hastily the suppositious mines
in the narrows were exploded and for
the third time the Connecticut and Ala
bama were annihilated. The war game
is now ended and New York was
saved from capture"

ONE BODY AND LAUNCH FOUND
No Apparel Found to Show Presence
of Missing Midshipmen.

Secretary Metcalf has received a
long message from Admiral Berry,
commanding the Norfolk navy yard,
saying that the Minnesota's launch
had been raised to the surface and
the body of one fireman found. The
search for the other bodies is being
continued.
There was no trace of any of the
six midshipmen or the other four sea-
men who were said to have been on
board.
Misunderstanding of the Navy
Metcalf has received a report saying
that the board which is investigating
the drowning of midshipmen and
sailors in Hampton Roads recently
will find that the launch was cut in
two by a wire cable towline. The sec
rotary said that he will wait for the
formal report before announcing the
details.

SCHMITZ MAY GET BAIL.
Mayor Has Wide Discretion After
June 27.

A radical change in the executive
branch of San Francisco's government
is contingent on developments in the
case of Mayor Schmitz, who is tenn
porarily incapacitated by reason Of his
Imprisonment in the county jail.
The date for the passing of sentence
on Mayor Schmitz in the extortion
cases, on which he has been convicted,
has been set for June q. Prior to
that date he can not possibly procure
bail, according to the decision of Judge
Dunno yesterday, but the law provides
that after the judgment has been
passed, the matter of allowing bail is
discretionary with any magistrate hay
ing jurisdiction. Consequently, if judg-
ment IS passed on the date set, Mayor
Schmitz will have ground for a new
application for bail, and his request
may run the gauntlet, not only OF the
II judges of the superior court, but
of the appellate justices and justices
OF the police courts as well. Whether
Mayor Schmitz will ask for sentence
on June 81 or ask for a continuance
has not been stated by his attorneys.
This has made it impossible for the
prosecution to plan it's action in this
regard.
