servants, and asked Guibbinni to get
him room in the neighborhood.

luggage the night before Ale Eradley

the poisoned milk. Gubbinni de-
scribed the result Of the bomb Or
chard placed at the front door lead
ing to the Bradley apartments in
Washington street The whole front
Of the house was blown out. Cub.
binni said he saw Orchard at his store
the day before the explosion. The
defense renewed the tactics of yester-
day by moving to strike out the tes-
timony of the witness as not connect
ing Haywood with the offense

ruled.
POSTOFFICE RECORDS
The prosecution called as the next
witness Hull McClaughry, the assist
ant postmaster at San Francisco, who
was Intercepted as to a registered
letter Orchard said he received from
Pettibone while in san Francisco.
Orchard said he was going by the
name of "John Dempsey" at the
time and Pettibone used the name of
81. Wolff in transmitting the let
ter, which contained 500. Post
master McClaughry reproduced the
registry records of the San Francisco
office, which showed the receipt Of
the letter in question on August 10,
1904. The envelope was marked
"Denver, August l, 1904"
The records showing the delivery
of the letter from ~. Wolff" to John
Dempsey" were admitted in evidence
by Judge Wood over the protest of
the attorneys for the defense, who OBJ
jeoted on the ground that there was
nothing to connect the defendant
Haywood with the matter.
The next step In tracing the letter
was the introduction of Miss Pearl
Moore of the Denver postof1ce. Miss
Moore, was a substitute in the regis
try division in Denver in 1904. She
identified an entry which she wrote
in the received registry book"
which showed the receipt of a letter

denoe.
