Interest in Orchard.
Interest in the trial continues to center
In the personality and testimony of Harry
Orchard, who killed Governor Steunen-
berg and upon whose confession William
Haywood and his associates In the direc-
torate Of the Western Federation OF
Miners were indicted. Its elimination will
come when he is brought into court TO
relate his story
ance is idle until the jury is formed. but
1t is believed that he will be called after
the death OF Steunenberg has been proved,
and that his testimony will be the main
foundation upon which the prosecution
will build.
Murderer Closely Guarded.
Meantime, Orchard is a elosely-guarded
prisoner In the state penitentiary, a cas-
tle-like structure built and walled with
Cr N
of the city. Various reports as to at
tempts TO reach or kill Orchard are In
circulation. the last being a tale from
Lewiston OF a plot alleged to have been
formed months ago to shoot Orchard from
the hills back of the prison. These stories
lack confirma ton, but they serve 20 tight
en- the vigilance of Warden Whitney and
his deputies. Reports from the prison say
that Orchard is in good health and condi-
ton, that he continues his reading along
religious lines. that he will unquestionably
repeat his confession in court, and that
he is ready for the fate made certain by
his confession.
Quiet Sunday at Boise.

der a new Sunday rest law operative for
the first time Baseball, one of the few
exemptions Of the new moral close season,
attracted many of the participants in the
case. Haywood received his family under
the trees on the court house lawn. and for
an hour watched his youngest child play
with a litter of Spitz puppies that looked
like animated powder puffs. Pettibone
looked on from a barred window, and IN
the group on the lawn Sheriff Hodgin
strolled with few of his deputies. At
torneys Richardson and Darrow came
later and talked for a time with their
client.
Tonight Clarence Darrow OF counsel for
the defense, lectured at the Unitarian

Drama Being Enacted.
1t requires imagination to construct and
realize the great tragedy that moves for

would contradict the idea but the coming
and going of counsel witnesses, deputies
and detectives at the Offices of the at
torneys for the prosecution and defense
proves the activity of those interested on
either side.
