Adams May Not Testify.

Boise, June 10.-Steve Adams the al.
legged associate of Harry Orchard in
some Of his crimes reached Boise this
morning In charge of deputy and was
placed In the county jail. 1t is under
stood Adams has made up his mind to
refuse to testify when placed on the
stand.

intended to be comparatively harmless
but converted by mischance into a
great tragedy.
Orchard had testified that he and
Adams had pulled the trigger Of the
mine before the train reached the sta
tion and the defense sought to make
it appear that it was planned to blow
UP the station, not only before the
train arrived, but before the non-union
men working in the neighboring
mines came down to the train
Orchard, in explanation Of his act in
setting off the mine before the train
arrived, swore that Sherman Parker
had friend on the train, one Bush,
who had previously been a friendly
witness in train wrecking case and
asked that care be taken not to in1ure
him. Orchard also denied the nina
owners or railroad and detective mans
ayers had planned the explosion.
Admissions Secured.
The defense had previously shown
that as far as the witness knew. Moys
er, Haywood and Pettibone had moth
ing to do with the Vindicator plot and
that Meyer and Haywood had nothing
to do with the planning Of the murder
Of Yeyte Gregory.
Orchard said he believed they were
parties to both plans but he could not
of his own knowledge say they were.
Denies Being Coached.
The defense made attempts to show
that Orchard is testifying under the
coaching and control of Detective Nc.
Partland. but this the witness denies
with spirit, saying Mcfarland and
Attorney Howley had cautioned him to
tell nothing but the truth
In the course of his cross examina-
ton Orchard admitted he had burned
his cheese factory near Brighton. Cam
ada, and had collected 5000 insurance.
Mrs. Orchard Will Testify.
Another interesting witness who arr
rived today is Mrs. Ida Orchard, tho
widow with three children whom Or
chard married in Cripple Creek. Mrs.
Orchard will be witness for The do
fense. 1t is understood that she will
testify that Orchard, while at Cripple
Creek, was employed by the mine own
ers. 1t is expected by the defense that
she will be able to throw light upon
the motives of Orchard and will
strengthen the claim that the mine
owners and not the Western Fedora
tion Of Miners employed Orchard to
murder.
Some new light has been thrown on
