Boise, Idaho, June 11.-Continutng
the cross examination of Harry Or
chard today the defense in the case
of William ID. Haywood, attacked the
testimony of the witness as to the
dynamiting of Fred Bradley at San
Francisco, and besides endeavoring to
show discrepancies and improbable
ties in 1t, sought to make 1t appear
that IL had in part been inspired by
Detective Mcfarland.
There was first an effort to show
that Orchard had never seen or heard
of the japanese servant who cleaned
the porch at Linforth fiat the morn
ing Bradley was blown up. until Nc
Parland told him about the Jap.
Orchard denied this and swore that
he saw the Japanese and had to wait
for the man to leave the porch before
he placed his bomb.
Could Not Explain.
Then the defense endeavored to
discredit his story of the purchase of
dynamite from the Judson Powder
company, and his entire claim that a
bomb was used, by showing that the
walls of the Linforth building we're
blown outward, and that Bradley had
been blown into the street. rs
Attorney Richardson demanded
that the witness explain how the ex-
plosion had these effects.
Orchard said he could not explain.
but expressed the opinion that Brad
ley was standing sideways to the
bomb and that the explosion followed
the line of least resistance and car
ried him into the street.
At the request of the defense Or
chard stood before the jury and drew
a diagram of the entrance to Lin
forth fats.

Orchard told of returning to Den

"Don't you know that soldiers
never wear glasses asked Attorney
Richardson.
"I did not know it, no. Said the
witness.
Then Attorney Hawley for the state

San Juan, Mr.. Richardson"
He wasn't soldier" shouted
Richardson.
"And he wasn't at San Juan" de-

shows Feeling for Wives.
For the first time since the cross
examination began. Orchard this
1t was when Richardson put the
witness on the rack for his neglect
of his two deserted wives.
Orchard insisted that Haywood and
Pettibone promised to care for his
Cripple Creek wife but failed to do
so.
When he admitted that he knew
his first wife had worked at cheese
making for a living, his lower lip
quivered and he swallowed hard
lump in his throat; his answers were
short and his voice very husky
Richardson continued the Srilling
for fifteen minutes but failed to break
down the witness.
Hard Dent
In reviewing the results OF the
cross-exAmination of Orchard II is
conceded that the hardest dent made
in the states case is the proof Of
Orchards connection with the detec-
tiyes of the mine owners. Orchard
admitted the relationship, somewhat
reluctantly, and qualified the extent
to which Richardson sought TO prove
IL existed.
May BE Deliberate Liar.
Orchard may~be deliberately ana
carefully lying for some deep PURPOSE
of his own. If that be so, there new

the Garden.
He may be a man possessed, work
ing under the impulse OF some
strange brain lesion, laboring under a
delusion of hagellation, that de-
mands the sacrifice of his own life
and the lives OF other man.
