Boise, Idaho, June 1.-THE attack
of the Haywood. defense on Harry Or
chard continues, and the grueling
may go on two days more. With the
close of the sixth day, Orchard shows
no sign of, weakening.
Beginning anew with the Bradley
dynamiting, the defense led him down
to the winter of 1904-05, and the
spring ofsthe latter year, when an
other shocking agreement at crime
was disclosed.
Haywood Prevented 1t.
Whereas Orchard swore It was orig
mated by Max Mahalich, the defense
tried to show Orchard originated the
plot to blow UP the boarding house
in the Denver Suburb where a hun
dred and fifty non-union miners were
housed In preparing for. this whole
sale slaughter of human beings, Or

dOned, Orchard said. because Hay
wood forbade him to continue.
The defense again recurred to the
attempts to assassinate Governor
Goddard, in an effort to cast doubt on
the testimony.
Used Mrs. Adams.
At this point, Orchard brought
Mrs. Steven Adams into the story,
saying she went with Adams and him.
self the day they were watching
Goddards house as a blind to divert
suspicion Mrs Adams was sitting
with the witnesses and laughed.
Orchard disclosed a remarkable
Phase of his character. While con-
Tossing that he hesitated at no crime
and saying that he took desperate
chances, he said he regarded all of
his crimes as COwardly.
What Will Adams Say?
There is much speculation as 10
placed on the stand. Orchard has
said that Adams was his partner lin

takings. such as the blowing up OF
the independence depot
Adams. who came to Boise yeSter
day from ShOshone county, where he
has been awaiting trial for murder, is
said to be in a sullen mood. and not
likely to answer any of the QueS-
tions. It is known that his repudiated
confession is in the hands Of the
counsel for the prosecution of Hay
wood. but it is doubtful if this con
fession can be brought within the cog
nizance of the jury unless Adams him
self consents
Mrs. Adams's Influence.
Mrs Annie Adams, who has been in
Boise since the trial began, and who
is in daily attendance at the court
room. saw her husband at the county
Jail last night Mrs. Adams has much
influence over her husband. 1t was
at her solicitation, il is said. that he
repudiated the confession that he
made last year. He went so far after
making the confession as to travel to
Colorado with General BulkIey Wells

of Adams, evidence was discovered
that cleared up the mysteries of sew
eral disappearance. Skeletons of
non-uniOn miners. who were believed
20 have been killed. but the proof OF
whose death had never been found,
were discovered.
The Collins Case.
The most startling part of Adams 5

been secured
