 Impeachment.
WITNESSES FOR DEPENDANT ON HAND

An Attempt to Show Relationship
 Between Orchard and Chief petec-
 tive for Mine ownerS Association
 At Cripple creek-Hsywood Con
 tinues to Take Active interest.
 Boise, Idaho, June 26.-Counsel for William D. Haywood devoted the early part of Tuesday mornings session of court to the completion of the basis for Harry Orchards i'm peachment, and then called the first witness and entered upon showing of relationship at Cripple Creek prior to the Independence station explosion between Orchard and K. c. Sterling, the chief detective for the mine owners association. The impeach- ment of Orchard relates almost en- tirely to the proposition that he re- peatedly professed that he had been wronged by Gov Steunenberg, and that when he talked of his wrongs he invariably threatened to kill Steunenberg. The men by whom the defense plans to impeach Orchard in this connection and incidentally show Orchard in an independent position in the Steunenberg case are Max Malich of Denver, Dr. McGee of Wallace, D. c. Copely, formerly a member of the board of the Western Federation of Miners; Charles A. Sullivan, formerly a miner at Cripple Creek; Frank A. Hough of Wallace; Wallace; Lottie Day of Denver; F. R. Redd, Formerly a miner at Cripple Creek; David 4. Coates, former Lieut.. Governor of Colorado, and William Easterly and w. F. Davis, who are leaders of the Cripple Creek strike Orchard positively denied that he ever made threats against Steunenberg to any of the men named at any time or place.
 Haywood continues an active par ticipant in the conduct of his case. Tuesday he alertly watched every witness and besides offering numer. ous suggestions to his attorneys, made extended notes as the taking of testimony progressed.
 When the trial was resumed Tuesday morning there was sur prise in store for the spectators. The defense in opening it's case asked permission to recall Harry orchard in order to put a few additional i'm. peaching questions to the states most important witness Orchard had been brought in from the peni- entiary and was put on the stand immediately after court opened. At torney Richardson questioned him. He wanted to know if Orchard had not told Max Malich in turkish bath establishment in Denver that Gov. Steunenberg was responsible for his being poor man and that he intended uo kill him. Orchard said he had been to the baths with Malich but denied that there had been any such conversation.
 Orchard successively denied having had similar conversations with Fred Hough of Wallace, James Rainey. a stage driver, and Lottie Day, a woman he knew in Denver.
 The defense here offered in evi dence two of the rogues gallery pictures of Orchard taken after his arrest for the murder of Gov. Stsunenberg. The pictures show Or chard in garb resembling that of tramp, unshaven and unkept. 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 appearance today. Judge Wood ad- mitted the photos and they were handed to the jurors who examined them closely. Another picture of Or chard in a group of three men, one holding a smoking revolver. was also introduced in evidence by the de fenss. The picture was taken in Salt Lake City in 1901. Orchard said the picture was taken as novelty. His companions were Andy and Peter Christiansen.
 Mrs. King, the first witness for the defense said that K. c. Sterling chief of detectives for the Mine owners association of Colorado. lived at her house in Cripple Creek. She saw Orchard yisit his room seven or more times, generally in the evening. Sterling engaged and maid for room occupied by Mrs. Mo, Kinney, the wife of the man charged with putting spikes on the Florence and Cripple Creek railroad-the at tempted wreck which the union oaims the railroad officials and mine owners undertook themselves with the intent of placing the blame on the Western Federation of Miners Mrs. King said she saw Orchard knocking several times on Mrs. Mo Kinney's door.
 The cross examination consisted oi but few questions tending mor closely to fix .he date of Sterlingf stay at the King houAe.
