the trail of blood left by Harry Or
ohard. taking first the murder of Gov;
Steunenbarg and barking back over
some OF the most important incidents
developed in the testimony.

of the defense
Senator Borah in laying the founda-
ton for his argument of conspiracy
pointed out that Orchard went TO Cald-
well from Denver and fresh from as
ISOLATION with the officers of the West
ern Federation OF Miners who regarded
Steunenberg as an enemy. Then ne
touched upon the fact that Marian

Orchard TO deceive Orchards wife when
Orchard wished TO desert her

Harry Orchard left Denver with

His silence Is confession of his guilt.
Pettlbone's absence IS an absolute cor

Orchard, Senator Borah showed to the
jury the deed By which Orchard had
parted absolutely and forever with his
interest In the Hercules mine II months
before Gen. Merriam and his negro
troops marched into the Couer d'Al-
enes.
