OF the sordid social crimes of desert
ing his vouns child and wife in Onta-
RIO, fleeing 70 British Columbia with
Hattie Simpson, the wife of another
nan, and committing bigamy by
marrying a third woman at Cripple
Creek
Through the shocking details of
murder plots. stories of social bomb
making and tales of man hunts with
sawedoff shotgnns and Internal ma
chimes as weapons. the witness went
cr IN the same quiet ofhand manner
that marked his demeanor yesterday.
His voice dropped to lower keys as
the pitiful story of the long hunt for
steunenberg narrowed down to the
last day and ne told of the race from
the hotel to the home Of his victim
with the death trap and the meeting
in the evening gloom as the victim
walked unconsciously to his doom.
Through it all he WINGED but once and
that was when the defense made him
name his six sisters and his one
brother and give their residence in
Ontario and New York. The de-
fcnse fought the story with multi
nl:c:ty Of objection and succeeded in
hea ding off an attempt TO tell the
s,ory Of the murder OF Arthur Collins
- Telluride and temporarily shut out
the contents of telegram received
and a telegram sent by Orchard af-
te. his arrest. Except for this the
State managed to get il its story in
tact.
The State today began its corrobo-
ration of orchards crimson tale by
producing the lead casing of the Pea
body bomb. Orchard identified it.
swore that he brought ii from Can
Won City to Denver and then on to
Wallace. where he gave it to a man
named Cunningham. 1t was thrown
irto the river. and the State promises
later to prove its recovery.
Haywood and his kinfolk listened
quietly to the long recital and about
their first show of feeling was one Of
amusement when Attorney Richard
son began his onslaught. and brought
out Orchards domestic crimes.
There were the same precautions
and the same armed guards today to
protect Orchard and the same court
room scenes except that among the
spectators the women to men were as
two TO one. There was a1.caher rush
for adnaittance and the doors of
the court had to be closed at both
sessions

na.ion at 2.35 o'clock ard the cross
examination only reached to the
coeur d d'Alene DAYS Of 1899 when the
court rose. The cross examination
