1 .cplcuOuS. bayWOOu lOlu us to buy di- other horse and a good buggy to use in the Sherman Bell affair.""
 Hadn't Haywood received an offer of $250 for the team you say was all used up?"
 Didn't Kill Bell. Tt was something over $200 for the 1 horses, harness and wagon You were going to kill Sherman Bell. l you bought a horse to help you in the
 task, and yet you went away in two
 weeks time"
 l ''Yes"
 l And yoti didn't kill Bell?"
 | Orchard said he never got an opportuni- | ty. He saw Bell once or twice on the | porch.
 Why didn't you shoot him?' l Because it was dark where he sat and
 was light where l had to go to shoot.
 Several times l tried to approach the house, but there was some little dogs l who would start barking" ] "On these occasions Pettibone was wait
 ing for you down the street in the bug I gyT'
 "Yes sir"
 Orchard said Mover ordered him to let l up on Bell The president of the fedora 1 tion had just returned from California
 and was in i'll health. He said he wanted
 nothing done in Denver while he was 1 there, as he did not care to run the risk | of being put in Jail again. Mover said 1t would be a good thing 1 to do some outside work. He told me l to get Johnny Nevill," said Orchard. 1 .Nevill had told him he knew about the 1 Independence depot and had demanded I s1200 Mover said he was afraid of Ne l will, and thought it would be safe if he was out of the way. l told Mover 1 would do it." But you didn't do It." l NO, Nevlll died natural death. "Moyer had not had anything at all to do with planning the Independence station l affair." did he?"
 No, sir. he knew nothing about it."
 Start After Steunenberg.
 After the recess Richardsons cross-ex-
 animation of Orchard led down at last to the time Orchard first started out on the
 mission, which eventually resulted in the death of former Governor Steunenberg, for whose murder Haywood is on trial It
 was at the conference with Haywood, Mover and Pettibone, after Movers return from California, in August, 1905, that the | matter was first mentioned. Orchard said | Mover had just finished telling him to get 1 rid of Johnny Nevill, when Haywood l brought up the killing of Steunenberg. l Haywood said it would be a good thing l to get Steunenberg," Orchard said. "TIe said we could then go back to Paterson, 1 N. J., and write letters to Peabody, Bell. | Goddard and Gabbert and some of the | mine owners and tell them they were not l forgotten and that the only way they 1 could avoid getting what Steunenberg got I was to die. Haywood said it would be l like living death to all these men to 1 know some one was after them all the 1 time
 l Haywood also said Ed Boyce had al- l ways wanted something done to Steunen- 1 berg.
 Mover spoke up and said that he | thougt 1t would have a good effect to get | Steunenberg after letting him go 80 many | years Haywood said he had sent Art l Baston, Ed Minister. Steve Adams and a l man named Mccarthy to Caldwell to get l Steunenberg, but they had not succeeded. , Pettibone said he thought it would be
 a hard proposition to get a man In a little
 town like Caldwell
 Pettibone Baked.
 'Pettibone baked at this, did hep No sir, he just said he thought it
 would be hard.''
 Hard to get man who drove into tho
 mountains every day?' He said 1t would be a hard proposi- l ton." i Orchard said Pettlbone suggested that | he take the Peabody bomb on the trip. | orchard had brought the bomb from Ca l non City to Denver mad buried 1t. This l bomb was rsther unique in that an alarm
 clock was attached to 1t. When the alarm
 went off, a string fastened to the alarm key would wind up and pull over the
 bottle of sulphuric acid which would ex-
 plode the giant caps and dynamite. Orch
 ard said he asked for s300 to cover the
 expenses of his trip to Nevada to get Ne yill to Idaho. He got $240 just before go- | ing and had $6O previously. Checks Trunk With Bomb. Starting from Denver, Orchard said Pet tibone helped him pack his trunk. He helped put in bomb case and twenty
