lied to his father ABOUT everything and
then suddenly decided to tell him tho
truth about everything That Is about

he went on a moment later In earnest
tones, who has been doing wrong all
his life and suddenly decides to do
right. lie cannot undo all the wrong
he has done. but he can at least do
something to clear things up.
Tho question of the confinement and
treatment of the prisoner was reverted
tn later and Orchard said:

But / do not speak to many of the
men. | do not feel that l am any bet

is A man takes n notion to certain
men and does not - others. Besides.
/ have felt that I ought to be careful.
Some of the men seemed anxious to

OF the men. There are some good men
out here brought to prison by misfor-
tune and l talk to them. / attend the
religious services and / talk to some of

some good"
The last formal question of the inter-
view went directly to the position of
Orchard In the pending case and was
directly answered 1t was;

used on you by Captain Mcfarland or
any one else In securing your alleged
confession or statement or have any
promises of any kind been made to you
In that connection"

without force of any kind What !
said was of my own free will and ac-
cord. 1t was Just as talk to you here;
there was nothing else. No promise of
any kind has ever been made me by
Captain MCFARLAND or anyone else"

to meet tomorrow

quiring into matters in connection with

pleas make serious and sensational
charges of misconduct on the part of
United States District Attorney Ruick.

completely in the murder of Gov Steun-
enberg, was taken to the hospital in a
critical condition and an operation will
