On December 30. about the hour Frank
Steunenberg was killed. this letter from
Pettibone was sent 10 Harry Orchard from
Denver: Friend Tom. that was sent 10 Jack
for Won the 2Ist." How did Pettibone know

and I want to say to you that this is q piece
OF evidence that calls for ths testimony of
George A. Pettibone. Yet he kept silent.
And that draft for 500 was sent to Simpkins
by Haywood on December n. You have seen
IL. They say Fred Miller got it on January I.
Certainly. The murder had been committed.

Well. Orchard is arrested on January /. II

Didnt this man who sent this telegram

newspaper talk that they would make an
inquiry and IL they found Orchard was guilty

Fred Miller went to Caldwell from Simp-

They had all the information they have to-day
on the very day they gave 500 TO Miller

Now. can anybody say this Ia a case OF
Orchard and Orchard alonef
They say the Pfnkertons have built up
the case. They have merely uncovered
that fabric OF crime and violence reared
by this defendant, who sits there In his chair
before you.
Did the Pinkertons send Orchard to Cald-
we'll? Did they send Jack Simpkins there
under an assumed name? Did they make the
bomb and forge these kilograms and these
drsf ts and these letters? And vet they say
it's all the Pinkertons and Harry Orchard.
