the relationship at Cripple Creek prior
to the Independence station explosion
!. between Orchard and 4. G. Sterling,
then chief detective for the mine OWN
ers' association. The impeachment OF

proposition that he repeatedly pro-
fessed he had been wronged by Gov
ernor Steunenberg, and that when ne
talked OF his wrongs he invariably
threatened to kill Steunenberg. Men

Orchard in this connection, and, Incl
dentally, show Orchard was in an IN
dependent position in the Steunenbers
case, are Max Malich Of Denver; Or.
MCGEE, of Wallace; D. G. Coply, for

ever made threats against Steunen-
berg to any Of the men at any time or
place. Haywood continues an active
participant in the conduct of his case.

ness. besides offering numerous sug-
gestions to his attorneys. and made eX-
tended notes as the taking of telimony
progressed.
Boise, June 25.-When the Haywood
trial was resumed this morning, Harry
Orchard was called for the purpose of
allowing the defense to complete the
foundation for his impeachment.
Attorney Richardson asked Orchard
if he had not told Max Malich, in
Turkish bath establishment In Denver,
that Steunenberg was responsible for
his being a poor man. and that he in,
tended to kill him. Orchard denied
there had been any such conversation.
Orchard was asked If he knew John d.
Elliott, and said: Il do not"
Elliott was in court and was request
ed to stand up. Orchard said he did
mot know the man. He denied having
a conversation with the man in which
he is alleged to have told Elliott that
he was In the employ of the mine own
ers' association. He denied he had
ever told any person that capital had
determined to get rid of union labor
and would begin with the Western
Federation of Miners; that something
was going to happen soon in Idaho that
would startle the world. Orchard also
denied talking with Elliott or D. c.
Coply, of San Francisco, about Steun-
enberg.
Orchard was next confronted by
Charles A. Sullivan, miner from
Cripple Greek. He said he knew Sui
livan but denied having a conversa-
ton with him in which he said Steun-
erbergi ought to be killed, would be
killed, and that if he was not killed,
Orchard, would kill him himself. Or

Hough, of Wallace; James Rainey,
stage driver; and Lottie Day, a wom-
an he knew In Denver; David Coates,

chard taken after his arrest for the
murder of lsteunenberg. The pictures
showed Orchard in the garb resembling
that of tramp, unshaven and un
kempt Attorney Richardson said the
pictures were offered to show the jury
the condition of Orchard at the time of
the murder, as contrasted with his ap-
pearance today. Judge Wood admitted
the pictures and they were handed to
the Jurors, who examined them closely.

at 10:42. The first witness for de-
tense, Harry ]. King, of Cripple Creek,
was called.
