Boise, Idaho, June 27.--when w.
r. Davis was recalled TO the stand on
the opening of court this morning,
senator Borah took him over the
period he spent in hiding in the Her
plosion.
He said Paulson and another man
were also there. He could not idep-
tify the other man.
He remembered two men calling at
the mine while he was there. They
were union men getting out of the
country
Orchard said he was at the Her
cules at this time. Davis was unable
TO recall Orchard as one of these
men.
Explains His Whereabouts.
Bringing the witness down to the
Cripple Creek days, Borah wanted to
know when the witness first met
Steve Adams. Davis could not recall
the date.
Davis said he was at home the
night or the explosion in the Wndica-
tor mine. Earlier in the evening he
had attended. with Sherman Parker,
union meeting at Victor.
Davis denied that he called at Or
chard's house and took him to this
meeting and he could not remember
whether Orchard attended the meet
~. There were 500 to 1000 men
there.
He could not recall when he first
saw Orchard after the meeting.
Quiet Until Soldiers Came.
Davis testified yesterday that the
Cripple Creek district was entirely
quiet and peaceful up to the time the
troops were sent in. Today Borah
cited several cases of shooting, but
the witness declared that most of
them occurred after the troops were
called.
He maintained that the district was
quiet, although he admitted that he
knew OF ncn-union men being beaten
before the troops arrived.
Borah wanted to know if the strike
committee did not spend most of it's
time preventing the men going back
u work. Davis said II required some
work to keep the men in line, for the
mine owners had secret agents at
work al! the time, and were trying to
misrepresent things to the miners
Davis said he believed the men
Killed in the Vindicator mine and at
Independence depot were non-union
men.
Thugs Turned Loose.
Dais denied that he told r. ].
Campbell of the Vindicator mine that
II the mine was opened up, something
would happen to the property. He
declared that no unusual conditions
existed i'm the miners convention at
Denver at the time of the Vindicator
Orchard had testified that Haywood
said he was having some difficulty in
keeping the men together and he
thought something ought to be pull

Darrow took up the redirect exam
lnation of Davis by referring to the
troubles at Cripple Creek before and
after the troops went sent in.
Davis said that aside from an as
sauh on old man Stewart, the beating
up OF a justice OF the peace, and the
killing of women, there were no ex-
traordinary disturbances
After the troops came, however,
there was much trouble "because,' he
said, "the governor of Colorado turn
tiary and sent them into the district"
