The delegates already on the ground
are unanimous In declaring that Har.

GATHERING OF WITNESSES.
Prominent Men From Different States
to Testify in HAYWOOD Trial.

Boise, Idaho-The arrival of wit
nesses is an interesting feature of the
case. Men whose names have been
| connected with the history of the
mining troubles and the bloodshed in
Idaho and Colorado are seen contin'
ually on the streets, in the court room
or hotel lobbies. Angus Sutherland,
the little Scotchman who was sheriff
of Shoshone county in the Coeur
dAlenes, himself famous gun fight
err, the marshal of Victor, Colo, who
went through the stirring times of
trouble there in 1908 and 1904; Bulk
eley Wells, the former adjutant gen
eral of Colorado, who dug up the
bomb planted TO kill Governor Pea.
body and who was in charge of the
special train that ran from Denver to
Boise with Meyer, Haywood and Pet
tibone on, and which is generally
called the kidnapping trip, and dozen
other men of that ilk are here and
will participate in the trial as wit
neSseS.
One of these, Pinkerton detective,
will testify that he has been a men,
ber of the Western Federation of
Miners for some years and during
that time he was president of lodge.
He, while not member of the eXecu-
tive board, was in their confidence up
to certain point and at the same
time was making regular reports to
the detective agency.
This man will be formidable wit
ness for the state. His employment
TO join the Western Federation and
learn their secrets is in line with the
detection of the Molly McGuires in
Pennsylvania and which led to the
conviction of the men accused. Cap
tain James Mcfarland, who has had
charge of the present case since the
arrest of Orchard, and who Is now the
superintendent of the Pinkerton
agency with headquarters at Denver.
was the detective who joined the Mol.
ly McGuires and secured the secrets
d the organization.
Orchard Plotted to Blow Up $50 Non
Union Men.
Tuesdays inquiry developed more
shocking crimes. At Globeville, a
suburb of Denver, there was a dia.
bolical plot-Orchard swore it was in.
spired by Max Malich; the defense
claimed that Orchard was its author
to dynamite boarding house where
l50 non-union men lived and in pre-.
paration for the murder en- bloc Or
chard, Adams and man named Joe
Mahalick broke into two magazines
and stole 900 pounds of dynamite,
which they lugged home at night and
buried in their cellar The crime was
abandoned, Orchard said, in one of
those flashes that make his TESTIMONY
remarkable, because Haywood inter
vened and forbade hi INTO have any
thing to do with it.
