session there comes a quick exchange
of sharp words. At times the situation
becomes intense. i II, Hawley, the
senior counsel for the State. is quick
to anger and downright in his chal
lenge. United States Senator Borah,
his colleague. IS keen, quick of tongue
and sarcastic. Richardson for the de-
fense has a resonant voice that rises
in anger and impatient of interrup-
iion. he frequently filings a sneer at
Hawley or Bcrah or thundcrs his OBJ
Jections when he thinks an interrup-
tion out of place. Clarence Darrow sits
beside him as watchful as a cat Slow
Of action and of speech he seldom takes
part in either side, Judge Fremont
principals in the case, Not word OF
movement escapes him. He is prompt
in decision and permits no infringe
ment on the dignity of his court.
Orchard Coolest of All.
But the coolest man in the court
room is witness Orchard. Under
Richardson S grilling or grueling he
has seldom changed the pitch of
the evenly modulated voice in which
he told his awful tale. His answers
come promptly and without hesitation.
So far he has not been caught in any
material contradiction From time to
record itself when his answers of the
day before have been read and the
transcription shows an error. At times,
in reply TO an assertion made by
Richardson, he is positive in the eX"
treme. 81 made no such statement,
or ~ said nothing of the kind. - is
a frequent answer, and when he finds
some statement not 10 his satisfaction

At the close of Orchard IS crossex-
animation the State VIII take him in
hand for the redirect examination and
then Will come the re-cross- -eXamlna-
tion. II seems hardly probable that
he will be dismissed before the end of
next week He may be recalled after
wards as the case develops, The
warden at the penitentlary says that
Orchard shows no sign Of nervous
strain. He eats well and speaks with
out particular emotion of the events of
the day,
Sent Money to His Wife.
Ono of the interesting features Of
today's examination was the develop
ment of the fact that Orchard. since
his confinement in the penitentiary had
whom he deserted in Canada in 1895,
and ran away with another man S wife.
He testified that he had sold lccLet
and chain and some of his property for
something like 81 10, the greater part OF
which he had sent 10 this wife. This
property, aside from the lockct and
chain. consisted of a fishing rod, gun
and revolver, together with some other
little things. He said that the warden

understanding that the person buying
them could have them after the
trial. Orchard said that the warden
told him that lie had received part of
this money from Governor Gooding. 1t
is possible that the governor may be
called as witness TO explain the trans
action.
Resumes Life Narrative.
Before court adjourned yesterday Or
chard had been questioned by the attor
ncys for the defense concerning his life
narrative down to the early part of the
year 1904. when the witness had gone

now numbers seven, was in court as
usual when today's proceedings began.
Orchard was brought in rs usual by

the courtroom which was SO striking

become acquainted with Pettibonc until

tempts made upon the hfc of Governor

know why Orchard had gone TO Cripple
Creek to pet Steve Adams TO help hlm
