into court and shown to you. His APP

them,
WHY WAS PETrrBoNE NOT
CALLED.
orhere Is nlst one other man who
could deny Orchards statements as To-
Gov. Peabody. That man is George
Pettibone. IL he did not counsel the
proposed murder, " he did not furnish
the sawed-ofl snDC ans, why uidh
they bring him here 20 say SO? There
is no evidence to contradict Harry Ut
chard. Docs counsel expect to wipe our
the facts by mere argument! IheS
cannot do so.'
Carrying forward mis- address m
chronological order, Mr.. Hawley next
took mp the Independence depot eS-
plosion.
He ridiculed the idea that the Mine
owners association was responsible LOT
the outrage and asserted that the evil
dence adduce1 in support OF that theory
was either from witnesses shown Co DE
periurers or utterly absurd on the face
of H. The faets were as stated by Or
rhard. Steve Adams, whom Orchard
implicated, was not called to contradict
him. AS to the dogs being called on
by deceive OF the Mine owners IS
ISOLATION, Mr.. Hawley admitted TINS
70 be true. The dogs, supposed TO De
following Orchard had gone eight miles
from the scene, whereas the evidence
showed Orchard had mounted a horse
a mile from the depot and had ridden
some 30 miles or more before night ran.
ATTEMPT ON BRADLEY's LIFE.
Bringing his argument down to the
attempt on the life of +. w. Bradley
in San Francisco. Mr.. Hawley review
ed first the testimony as TO money
sent 70 Orchard in San Francisco by
George A. pettihone. As to the mo-
tive against Bradley, IL was TO show
10 the world that the federation did
not forget It's enemies even after
lapse Of years. Bradley had been the
manager OF the Bunker Hin anil sui
Ivan mine which WAS blown up In
1899.
Mr.. Hawley recalled to the Jury the
testimony regarding the registered
letter sent By J. Wolff in Denver TO
Orchard In San Francisco and con-
tanning 800. Wolff. a clerk in Petit
bones store. testified that he sent the
letter.
why" asked Mr.. Bradley. didn't
they put Pettibone on the stand to
testify as to his connection with these
mattersY ! will leave that for them
to explain
Following the letter there was sent
TO Orchard by telegraph 500. This
was from Pat Bowen" Then 500
was sent from u. Wolff" The sigma
ture on both applications was in the
handwriting Of George A. Pettibone,
the attorney declared. and was sent
by him 10 aid orchard In the commits
sion Of a crime. The money was OBJ
tanned from Haywood and his col
leagues.
This Information as to Orchard
dcpositing money with Pettibons and
Pettibpne acting as his banker Is abb
solutely ridiculous and II belittles an
argument to refer to II. The only
evidence they have is something from
Mrs. Lottic Day, II is rot worthy of
consideration, Why. gentlemen, If
Pettibone was acting legitimatcIy as
banker for Orchard. why didn't he
send the money to him in his own
name? Why should there have heen
an attempt 10 mystify or conceal ?
George Pettlbone took good care to
zee that his name was not connected
with the money transactions In any,
way" Ill
BRADLEY coRRoBERATED.
Mr.. Hawley declared that Orchards
were corroborated and born out In every
detail even by witnesses introduced by
the defense. Az 10 THE gas theory MIR.
Hawley said that Immediately after tho
explosion no other cause could be con-
ceived and II was natural that the gas
company should be sued. IL was not TO
be expected that witnesses who testi-
fed to the belief that gas had been the
cause. would admit now, In the light OF
Orchards confession, that they had
been absolutely mistaken and wrong.
Gas could not have broken In the tiled
floor Of the Bradley vestibule as was
the case IN the explosion. Nothing but
dynamite could have acted In that way.
Mr.. Hawley said the testimony OF the
gas expert introduced by the safe did
away with the impossible theory that
the gas was ignited by Bradley's cigar.
He also rediculed the idea that enough
gas could have accumulated to have
caused such terrific explosion without
the odor being detected throughout the
house.
why. II the hallway had been filled
with gas as we have been told, Mr.
Bradley himself would have been as
phyxiated before he could have reached
the front door. Tho fact that nothing
was burned aslo upsets entirely the
notion that gas caused the explosion"
AS the luncheon recess was ordered
until p. m. Mr.. Hawley anounceA
that he would conclude during the
afternoon.
