 Boise. Idaho, June 14.--lhe prosecu- tion in the stednenberg murder trial today entering in earnest upon the substantiation and corroboration of Harry Orchards testimony, showed a continuous thread of evidence connect ing George Pettibone's store in Denver with Orchard at San Francisco, en- gagged on the Bradley murder plot; partly developed another direct line which 1t is hoped to show that Hay wood engaged and paid Steve Adams for the same desperate work and added special touches of confirmation to Orchards general story.
 Officials of the United States post office at San Francisco and Denver produced original records showing that in August, 1904, registered letter was sent under the name of ''J. Wolf" from the address of Pettibone's store in Den- yer to "J. Dempsey" at the Golden West Hotel in San Francisco. Or chard swore that he stayed at the Golden West Hotel under an alias that was either Dempsey or no gan;' that Pettibone used the aliases
 
 the name of wolf, Pettibone in the month mentioned sent him a registered letter containing $100 to pay his ex- penses while engaged on the Bradley murder.
 Police officials of Ogden established the arrest there in June, 1903, of Steve Adams and A. T. Williams. They were sealed up in an eastbound car loaded with fruit and when arrested fnr onl. of rn. volvers. When released through the influence of a detective who was g brother Mason of Adams, they went straight to the office of the Western Union and sent telegram to Haywood in Denver.
 When the Ogden testimony was in troduced Steve Adams was brought into court under guard to be identi- fled. Adams name has run all through the trial but this was the first ap- pearance in person. Adams seemed ir defiant humor and walked to a point directly in front of the jury and gazet steadily at the witness
 Gr0eeryman Testiffes. L. B. Guibbeinni, the San Francisco groceryman, who introduced Harry Or chard, then known as Barry to the servants in the Bradley household, was the first witness in the Haywood trial today. He said that Orchard came to his store and hung around and spent considerable money. Orchard asked questions about the Bradley house. hold. asked to be introduced to the l servants and asked Guibbinni to get him a room in the neighborhood. Guibbinni saw Orchard moving his luggage the night before the Bradley house was dynamited. He also saw the poisoned milk. Guibbinni describ- ed the result of the bomb Orchard placed at the front door leading to the Bradley apartments in Washing ton street. The whole front of the house was blown out. Guibbinni said he saw Orchard at his store the day | of the explosion.
 The defense renewed the tactics of yesterday by moving to strike out the | testimony of the witness as connecting | Haywood with the offense charged. The motion was overruled. 1 Attorney Darrow, on cross exami- nation, devoted himself to learning the conditions under which the wit ness was brought to Boise to testify. Guibbinni said the detectives came | to him and told him he had to come | to Boise and there was no use trying to dodge it."
 Did they say ther were going to kidnap you? commented Darrow. NO sir said the witness, they | just told me had 10 come.
 Guibbinni got $200 to cover the ex- penses of the trip.
 He told the detectives that he knew of the case and was told to tell the | truth. Guibbinni said Orchard told him he | lived by gambling at night. He slept during the day time. The witness did not know whether he discussed the Bradley explosion direct with Orchard or not He talked about 1t with every one who came in.
 Postmaster Called. The prosecution called as the next | witness, Hull McClaughry. the assis- l tant postmaster at San Francisco, who was interrogated as to a registered let ter Orchard said he received from Pet tibone while in San Francisco. Or chard said he was going by the name of John Dempsey" at the time and Pettibone used the name of "J Wolff. in transmitting the letter, which con- tained $100.
 Postmaster McClaughry produced the registery records of the San Francisco office which showed the receipt of the letter in question in August IS, 1904. The envelope was postmarked Denver. August 10. 1904"
