|KS SHOW EXISTENGOF GREAT COUNTER CONSPIRACY!

WnOle ptOt was tHklHetfeu Dt dgtuts
of the mine owners and railway ran
ayers, who wanted comparatively
harmless Outrage" to injure the
union miners who we're on strike.
Leaving the Independence station
crime, which was followed 10y the
flight of Orchard into Wyoming and
then by his unexpected return TO
Denver, counsel for the defense
sought TO discredit the story that
Haywood directed Orchard TO kill
Andy Mayberry by showing that Hay
wood and Mayberry are old and inti-
mate friends.
Getting down to the Bradley crime
they devoted themselves largely to
the revolving story OF Orchards at
tempt TO poison the entire Bardley
household, including the infant child,
which he had seen in baby car
rage, and Mrs. Grow, the cook, with
whom he had made friends and
whom he had escorted To a tlieatei.
Into stronger relief tnan had the
direct examination they threw the
utter deprayity OF the witness and
gave the watching crowd the one
deep-noted thrill of an otherwise
wearying day. Orchard swore that
while in San Francisco he repeatedly
4 received money from Pettibone, who
used the name of "Pat Bone" In
transmitting it, and In making this
clear today, the defense gave evi-
dence OF a plan To show that this
money was sent under Petitioners
name, thinly disguised byf persons
plotting against the leaders OF the
Western Federation Of Miners. Or
cbard denied that the mine owners
or railway men had any part In the
Independence station outrage, denied
that he had mania for confessing
uncommitted crimes, and denied that
he is under the influence OF McPar-
land.
He showed some spirit In answer
ing many of Attorney Richardson Is
questions, bur he firmly held TO all
of his first stories and was calm and
certain throughout the lcng trying
examination. Two more crimes were
brought home to Orchard today; ht
confessed that he burned cheese
factory In Ontario to get $500 insnr
ance, and he confessed that he begar
his life OF crime by selling cheese al
short weight. Counsel for the stat,
