Miners depends on Tic validity of the
confession" of Harry Orchard and it's
power TO convict.
The complaint that two terms Of
court has passed before the cases we're
brought to trial was made the basis Of
motion to have the case dismissed a
few weeks ago The motion was over.
ruled, Senator Borah arguing that the
trial could not previously have been
legally held under the laws of Idaho
as habcas corpus proceedings were
pending in the supreme court
The defense then petitiohed for
change of venue from Caldwell to
Boise This was granted by Judge
Wood, the defense agreeing not to
bring up the question of change Of
venue again. Judge Wood then set the
trial of Haywood for May 0 in Boise.
About this trial centers the greatest
interest, as the fate of Haywood will
decide the fate Of the others, since all
three Of the indicted men were equally
implicated by Harry Orchard.

criticised for allowing a whole year to

Boise, Idaho.--No one living in the
Rocky mountain regions can have an
unprejudlced opinion regarding the
Steunenberg murder trial. This Is
the most important event that has
occurred in western America in re-
cent years, and William d. Haywood,
secretary of the Western Federation
of Miners, charged with the murder of
Idahos governor, has half the popu-
lation of the entire western country
with him and half against him. This
is the elimination of long line of
bloodshed In the mining camps, begin
ming In the Occur d'Alene's mines 10
years ago, and eliminating in the
bloody mining riots In Colorado. The
prosecution aims to show that all the
crimes in the mining camps which
appeared at the time to have their
motive in the existing bad feeling be-
tween the mine owners and the West
ern Federation of Miners were
planned by the Inner Circle" of the
federation. or this the three officials
indicted for the murder of Gov.
Steunenberg were members, and the
crimes committed were supposed to
be carried out under their directions.
The defense Is confident of its ability
to disprove these allegations, as well
as the charges made in Orchards
Confession" described further on in
this article,
At the time of the Wardner riots
in the Occur d'Alenes Gov. Steunen-
berg, in the absence Of the Idaho
militia in the Philippines, asked for
federal aid, and Gen. Merriam estab-
lished such stringent military rule
that Gov. Steunenberg gained the en-
nifty of the entire Western Federation
Of Miners. Two years later Steunen.
berg retired from Office and returned
20 his home in Caldwell. Four years
later, returning home from his office
at six o'clock on the night of Deem
Der 80, 1905, he swung open his gar
den gate. and mine that had been
set for him exploded and tore his
body to pieces. His head was found
a block away.
Two Confessions" Made.

Tells of Another Crime.

In the long story of his confession"
Orchard tells of many things. He con-
fessed to the blowing up of the indie
pendence railroad station. The Find
lay mine, at independence, Colo, en-
ployed nonunion men. The plan, Or
chard says, was to kill off two shifts
at once by blowing up the railroad sta
ton as one shift was going to work
and another leaving. Two o'clock in
the morning was the hour selected.
Orchard says that this crime was
framed up" in Haywood's room in
Denver. Haywood made his get
away" by inducing a saloonkeeper
named Neville to burn down his sa-
loon, get the insurance money, and
then to travel north through the noun
tains. On the first night out, Orchard
pretended to have forgotten his gun,
and rode back in the night with the
ostensible purpose of getting it, At
that time he says he laid the mine
which tore 10 men limb from limb and
crippled six more for life.
Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-05-16

this train was to return at two o'clock
in the morning, Orchard, according to
his confession" was ordered by Sec
rotary Haywood of the Federation to
wreck the train on a very dangerous
curve. The attempt to wreck the train
was made; spikes were pulled from a
rail on a curve of a 300foot embank
ment. when l was ordered to wreck
that train" says Orchard in his con
fession," Il said would not do it, And
l was the man who passed the word to
the conductor, warning him to look
out" The conductor took warning and
the wreck was averted.

Orchards Remarkable Story.

According TO his own confession, Or
chard was the principal assassin in the
pay Of the Western Federation of
Miners, hired to get rid of objection
able persons. A remarkable side to
his story is his care not to injure per.
sons not enemies of the Federation.
He planned many times, he confessed,
to assassinate Gov. Peabody of Col
orado, but, as he says in his "confes-
SION: 81 could have got Gov. Peabody
time and time again, If had not been
afraid of blowing UP those Peabody
girls"
He tells in another place how he de-
liberately foled a determination on the
part of the Federation to destroy a
whole trainload of innocent people.
There was a military ball at Victor,
Colo, Nov. IA, 1903, in the midst of the
mining trouble in this district The
military was in control, and the
miners objected to the martial law. A
train on the Florence & Cripple Creek
railroad took over to Victor from Grip
pie Creek 21S persons. Knowing that

der. and both confessed. In their con-
fessions they stated that they were
the tools of the Inner Circle" of the
Western Federation of Miners, and
implicated the officials of the fedora
ton in long list of murders and at
tempted murders. Charles H. Meyer.
president William d. Haywood, Sec
rotary, and George A. Pettibone, com
mitteeman, all members OF the Tn
ner Circle" were kidnapped" in Colo
RADIO on hurried extradition proceed
ings and rushed TO Idaho on spe-
-ciai train. Orchard has since become
greatly weakened mentally and
Adams has ,retracted his confession"

trial, and many excuses have been
made to account for 1t. The Idaho
laws provide that man cannot be con-
victed of crime on the uncorrobor-
ated confession of an accomplice. 1t is
stated that the prosecution has delayed
because 1t was unable to obtain cor
roboration of Harry Orchards confess
sion. The district attorney yields no
information on this point. But since
the prosecution is now taking up the
case, it is presumed that it has stronger
evidence against Meyer, Haywood, and
Pettibone than the confessions" of
Harry Orchard and Stephen Adams.
The fact that Adams has retracted his
confession practically destroys it as
evidence, and Orchard Is understood
to be in so weakened state of mind
that he will not be able to take the
stand, and the prosecution will be
forced to seek to have his sworn testi-
mony, on which the indictments were
brought, admitted as evidence in the
form of affidavits.
The confessions of Harry Orchard
and Steve Adams for the murder Of ex-
Gov Steunenberg were obtained by
James Mcfarland of the Pinkerton
detective service, who broke up the
Mollie Mcguire gang In Pennsylvania
in the seventies, and secured the con-
viction and execution of II members.

Judge Goddard's Escape.

The confession" contained accounts
of efforts made to get" two judges.
In one instance Orchard says he had
planted a bomb just outside the gate
before Judge Goddard's house, buried
six inches below the surface, on the
outside Of the gate post, covered with
piece OF sacking, and attached to a
fine wire connected with small bottle
of acid, which lay above a heap of
potash and sugar, deftly placed over
the explosive. The little wire from the
bomb came just above the surface and
a fishhook was fastened to the end of
1t. A screw eye was driven into the
gate and n piece of iron wire was at
tached to it. When the two wires were
connected the slightest opening of the
gate would explode the bomb But
Judge Goddard. said Orchard, constant.
ly failed to come when he was expect.
ed, and the lob" was forced to wait
until Orchard should finish some other
work he had on hand. The time never
came when Orchard was able to set
the mine,

saying that it was obtained from him
by coercion and undue influence.
All Idaho is torn between the prose-
cution and defense in this trial. AL
though broken by great ranges of
mountains and divided into separate
sections by lack of through railroad
connections, Idaho is q unit and its
progressive citizens are well acquaint-
ed in all parts of the state. The popu-
lation is small but enlightened. Rich
mines and irrigated farms have pro-
duced a great deal of wealth. and the
resultant culture has not weakened
the moral fiber of its citizens. The
people of Idaho are very high class
OF Americans.
Trial Made Labor Issue.
The prosecution of Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone has been made a
labor issue throughout the United
States. For year and more meet
ings have been held, ending with a
sensational series in all the large
cities a few weeks ago, in which the
prosecution was declared a persecu-
ton, and the question was asked:
Shall our brothers be murderer"
The purpose of these meetings was to
obtain money with which to conduct
the defense, and over a quarter of a
million dollars has been raised
There is tremendous interest in the
trial all through the west, even in
portions where there are no mines or
miners. 1t is most talked of in labor
circles. There the spirit regarding
the trial is good. All the labor unions
ask is fair and speedy trial. They
have reserved their judgment and are
willing to stand by the judgment of
any 12 good men.
The trial will cost the state of Idaho
over 100000 The defense expects to
spend even more. 1t has $1,000,000

Murder of Steunenbere.

When eX-Gov Steunenberg was MUIR
death trap set for him and seemingly
the probable motive for the act pointed
suspicion toward the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners. James Mcfarland, SUI
perintendent of the western branch of
the Pinkerton service, with his office
in Denver, took up the case. Three
days after the murder Mcfarland ar
rested Harry Orchard, in whose room
in hotel in Caldwell was found sus-
picious white powder and some letters.
In his trunk in the railroad station, 1t
is claimed, were found materials for
making bombs, cipher code, and let
tiers from several Federation officials,
containing instructions and advice.
How Confession" Was Got.
Mcfarland set about obtaining a
confession from Orchard. He worked
on his nerves by placing him in soil
tary confinement with silent attend
ants. At the end Of a week MOZART
land appeared. sowed the seed of dis
trust in Orchards mind, and left him
to ruminate over what he believed to
be the treason of his instigators. Nc
Partland did not come back for days.
BY that time Orchard was ready to
talk. 1t took five days steady writing
to take down his confession" 1t
takes seven hours rapid reading to get
through with this document, which pur-
ports to give the entire history Of the
