STEVE ADAMS

BOISE, IDAHO, June l4.-The prose-
'cution in the steunenbcrg murder trial
to-day, entering in earnest on the cor
roboration OF Harry Orchards testi-
mony, showed continuous thread Of
Nevidence connecting George Pettibone'a
: store In Denver with Orchard ut San
Francisco while engaged on the Brad
ley murder plot, partly developed an
other direct line, by which 1t Is hoped
/ to show that Haywood engaged and
paid Adams for the same desperate
work and added special touches to
confirm Orchards general story.
Officers OF tho post offices ut San
Francisco and Denver produced origS
tnal records showing that In August,
1904, registered letter was sent un-
der the name OF y. Wolff" from the
address Of Pettibone's store in Denver
to ..Dempsey,. ut the Golden West .Ho-
tel, in San Francisco. Orchard swore
that he stayed at the Golden West
Hotel under an alias that was either
"D empsey' or Hogan: that Petit
bone used the aliases OF Wolff and
lS.pat Bone" and that under the name
OF Wolff" Petubone in the month
mentioned sent him registered let
ter containing 500 ITO pay his ex-
penses while attempting to kill Brad
ley.
Police officers OF Ogden established
the arrest there In June, 1908, OF Steve
Adams and A. r. Williams. They were
seated IN an eastbound car loaded with
4 fruit. When arrested for trespnss.
I each had brace Of revolvers. When
released through the influence of a
detective. to whom Adams appealed as
Mason, they went straight to the
office OF the Western Union and sent q
telegram to Haywood in Denver.
Headed on by. Defense.
The defense headed off an attempt to
get the contents OF the telegram before
the jury. but the State indicated that
1T would return to the charge 1Ater
and further develop the incident when
1T had broadened its foundation. Tie
tState. through an Q fficial OF the Vest
ern Union. produced the original of a
Telegram supposed to have been sent
by Attorney Fred Miller, Of Spokane.
now recorded as one OF Haywood's IS
counsel. to Harry Orchard before the
latter was arrested at Caldwell for the
Steunenberg murder. but did not In
!troduce 1t because It's Identification is
still insufficient.
The State also got an order OF court
directing the Western Union to pros
duce its records showing that Hay
steve Adams There's Defiant.
When the Ogden testimony was in
.troduced Steve Adams was brought
into court under guard to be Identified.
Adams's name has run all through
the trial, but this was his first ap-
|pearance in person. Adams seemed in
q defiant humor, and walked to a
point directly in front OF the jury and
gazed steadlly/at the witness con-
ltrOnting him. -
Confirming Orchnrd'H Story. a
The State also produced several wit
tnesses who confirmed features OF Or
ca hrd's story as to the Bradley az
lfair, the first descent into the Vindica-
tor mine with the object OF doing vio-
1.lence, tho final success OF the Vindica-
tor plot and the circumstances under
\ which Detective Lyte Gregory was
killed. Aside from It's fight against the
admission OF all the evidence offered
by the State on the ground that twas
\ tn no way connected with the accused,
I the defense contented itself with
showing that all of tho witnesses had
been found and Interviewed by Pink
lerton detectives.
