of Attack on Family.
 Boise Idaho June 1O-Into the further examination of Harry Orchard to- day, counsel for William D. Haywood repeatedly threw the suggestion of a great counter conspiracy formulated and car red out by the enemies of the Western Federation of Miners and indicated de- termination to construct their main line of defense on that field They carried Orchard by slow steps and through the minutest details from the dynamitng of Independence station down to the attempt on the life of Bradley and his family and In addition to series of particular at tacks on the credibillty of the witness and the general probability of his stories and paving the way for their own test- mony in rebuttal they sought to show that Orchard has a mania for boasting of the crimes of non-existence except with in his own mind. They began today by making it clear that as far as Orchard knew of his owh knowledge Haywood, Mover and Pettibone had nothing to do
  cutting of the Vindlcator explosion and that Haywood and Mover had nothing to do with planning the murder of Detective Gregory.
 Passing then to the blowing up of the Independence station, the first crime they endeavored to show that Orchard, in springing, the mine had purposely sought to spare the ohcoming train and the non union men, who were expected to enter l 1t, and that the whole plot was engi- neered by agents of the mine owners and railway managers who wanted a com paratively harmless outrage" to injure the miners who were on a strike. Leaving the Independence station crime, which was followed by the flight of Or chard into Wyoming and then his return to Denver, counsel for the defense sought to discredit the story that Haywood di rected Orchard to kill Andy Mayberry by showing that Haywood and Mayberry are old and intimate friends.
 Getting down to the Bradley crime, they devoted themselves largely to the revolt ipg story of Orchards attempt to poison the entire Biadley household, including the infant, which he had seen In baby e rTage. Into stronger relief than had en the direct examination they drew e ltter depravity of the witness and g i've the watching crowd one deep noted lrill of an otherwise weary day.
 Orchard swore that while in San Fran c he repeatedly received money from T lttib)ne, who used the name of Pat
 me- in transmitting it, and in making is clearer today the defense gave evil 'nce of plan to show that this money as sent under Pettibone's name thinly disguised q by persons plotting against the aders of the Western Federation of Min srs.
 Orchard denied that mine owners or railway men had any part in the Inde- pendence station outrage; denied that he had mania for confessng uncommitted crimes, and denied that he is under the influence of McPartland He showed some spirit in answering many of Attorney 2ichardspn's questions, but he firmly held te all of his first stories and was calm ard certain throughout the trying exam inauofs, TWO more crimes were brought home kb Orchard today; he confessed that he burned a cheese factory in Ontario to get 1900 insurance and he confessed that he began his life of crime by selling cheese at short weights. Counsel for the state let today's examination take it's course without a single serious objection and at the close privately signified their entire satisfaction.
 Orchard has been on the stand five days and has fully two more to serve.

 Correct Statement.
 Immt lately after going on the stand at 9:35 thi morning Orchard asked for per mission to correct two statements made by hin Saturday, one to the effect that Bill Es, terly had made bombs with Pet tibone dope" with him at Cripple Creek and the other that he and Steve Adams had carried their shotguns in holsters when they were hunting Governor Pea body. He says Billy Alderman and not Bill Easterly made the experiments with him andthat he and Adan1s did not carry their guns in holsters.
 Attorney Richardson brought out the fact that Orchard was in conference with Detective Mcfarland this morning and with Mcfarland and Attorney Hawley yesterday and that each morning before appearing on the stand he visits Hawley's office. but the witness denied that he cor rected his testimony on suggestion from either Hawley or Mcfarland. He said he told Hawley he had made a mistake in his testimony and asked if he should correct it and Bawley told him to do so.
 Didn't Mcfarland speak 10 you about the method by which you could withstand cross-exapination? demanded Attorney Richardson, Who has handled the cross examination throughout.
 No, sir, replied Orchard, "but he spoke of what gave me strength to go through t'S examnaton."
 Orchard as professed religion.
 Now, h." roared Richardson, didn't you make lis correction because you dis covered u Essterly is here and Acker- man is nc ''
