symptoms of Poisoning.
Johnny Neville died later under sus-
niciouS circumstances at Goldheld. There
we're symptoms Of poisoning. Orchard
stated to-day that Pettibone and Hay
wood talked with him about killing john
nv Neville. They thought he knew too
much about the blowing up Of the Inde-
pendeuce depot where fourteen men were
/ killed.
/ When Richardson began his long Job
again. he asked Orchard what he did
with his sawed-of shotguns when he
came hack from the trip on which Meyer
was arrested. Orchard said he left them
NJ the Federation headquarters in Den
| yer.
"Didnt you give them to Mrs. Meyer
| at her house,
no. sir. I didn't" insisted the wit
ness.
orchard rehearsed the part of his story
that had 20 do with the first attempts OF
steve Adams and himself 90 shoot Gov.
Peabody i'm Denver. Richardson wanted
10 know why the scheme was not earned
out. as il is claimed Orchard said Hay
wood advised him TO do it.
We'll we hung around his house
good deal" said Orchard. but We didn
get no chance TO do IL.
"Why did you give up the plane
Afraid to Remain Too Long.
"WeU. I told YOU about going up behind
a carriage that stopped at Gov. Pea
bodv's house. Adams and me expected he
would get ont of it. and was going 10
shoot him if he did But some women
got out and saw us about forty or fifty
/ feet away. Then they went up to the
/ house and stood on the piazza, watching
us rs. long as we were in sight. We were
afraid after that 10 hang around there
any more"
/ "Did. YOU ever call on John NJ. ONeill
editor Of the Miners Magazine, at his
office i'm the Federation headquarters
..I spoke to Mr.. O.Neill there, yes"
/ Didn't You ask him TO tell you the
/ address of Gov. Peabody?
go. sir; I did not
and didn't he tell you TO look it up in
/ the directory; that you could do that Just
as well rs ne could:
/ NO. sir. he did not
Richardson could not seem to under
stand why il was that Orchard went up
. 10 Cripple Creek 10 get steven Adams
! % help him 10 kill Peabody.
/ Orchard said that he just wanted some
one TO help him. That was all there was
/ 20 10.
Officer in Next Room.
/ The lawyer then wanted 20 know how it
was he could have had these talks with
HAYWOOD at a time when Haywood was
in the custody Of an officer Of the law.
Orchard said that when he talked with
HAYWOOD the officer was in the next room
usually. Sometimes Haywood would come
over 10 Petitioners store and the officer
/ stand outside Of II, waiting for him. or
in the front part Of the store, while Hay
wood talked 10 the witness and Pettbone
. in the back part Of the store.
I He got the shotgun with which he tried
10 shoot Peabody from PCttibOne, and
said he got il from headquarters. Steve
I Adams got his gun from Pettibone and
I fixed a place in his back yard to hide the
guns in, If We succeeded in shooting the
governor" Orchard testified.
1T wasn't exactly in his yard, either.
/ There was a vacant lot next door to his
house. but there was not a fence be
/ tween. Il was a hole with railroad tie
/ to cover it. We put one gun there after
/ Gregory was killed
Bomb Put Aside for Time.
( Richardson wanted 10 know why it was
/ that the bomb made TO kill Peabody with,
wasn't used for that purpose at that
/ time
Haywood said the executive board was
in session in Denver just then" orchard
explained. "and he didn't want to do any
dynamiting or they would all get ar
rested"
He didn't want you to use a bomb2"
NO, sir"
Not while the executive board was in
session.
no. sir"
How about using the shotgun?"
Haywood said he would rather we'd
! used shotguns Just then. as they wouldn't
be so likely to jump on us as If We used
q bomb
! Richardson made much of the fact that
| Orchard could not give the date when
/ Haywood told him that he mustn't do
any dynamiting just then. But Orchard
couldn't tell. Apparently he had ne
/ elected for some unaccountable reason
TO 90 home and put it in his diary.
Have any little outside enterprises Of
/ your own on hand at that time, anythin1
besides the assassination ?" was the next
/ question.
killing Of Lyte Gregory.
Orchard said he had nothing. declared
that he had not held anybody up in the
streets of Denver. and had not robbed
any bank or stores there.
That brought Mr.. Richardson to the
killing OF Lyte Gregory. Orchard re-
pea:ed that Pettiboae had spoken to him
about it first He had never heard of
/ Gregory before, He and Pettibone and
! Haywood talked about it on Eighteenth
street. near the Kelley Institute. Gregory
had been Netective at Idaho Springs
when the Federation had a strike on
trere. That was the reason he was killed
