day by practically contradicting his own
witness. Mrs. Lottie Day
She testified at crOss-examlnation that
in May, 1904, when the Federation conven-
ton was in session, she was sitting in
the hall of the Belmont Hotel talking
with Harry Orchard. who was then
known as J. Dempsey, and that Haywood
came in and Dempsey introduced him to
her. After that, she said, Haywood said
he wanted to talk with Orchard. and the
two men excused themselves and retired
to Orchards room, which was on the
same floor. at the east end Of the hall.
AS soon as Haywood took the stand to-
day. he was asked If he ever talked with
Orchard al the Belmont Hotel in Den
yer. He replied that he had visited the
Belmont on several occasions. it being a
sort Of headquarters for the miners in
convention. but he had no recollection OF
having talked with Orchard there at any
time.

Mr.. Darrow omitted to ask him II he
saw Lottie Day there.
The Federation's secretary went on with
his denials by saying that he never knew
of any plan to Kill Gov Peabody, or
Judges Cabot and Goddard, or Sherman
Bell. or anybody else, and that he never
paid OF promised a cent to Orchard OF
anybody else for any such purpose.
