Boise. Idaho, June S.--Counsel for
William D. Haywood continued their
attack on the testimony of Harry Orch
ard at both sessions of the trial Fri
day and conferred their strongest as
sault on the events beginning with the
explosion In the vindicator mine and
ending with the earlier meetings be-
tween the witness and the leaders OF
the federation in Denver. To the ex-
tent that traffic with ''the other side"
in war of labor and capital in Colora-
do was discredible they succeeded in
discrediting the witness.
The defense endeavored in various
ways to throw the shadow of doubt
and improbability around the whole
indicator story and the alleged con-
nection w. F. Davis and VIM. Easter

stances under which Orchard testified

and to discredit Orchards story that
he was sent back to Cripple Creek
with unlimited credit and orders to
commit any act of violence that he
cared to. They confronted Orchard
with Easterly and Owney Barnes and
paved the way for the contradiction by
them of the story told by Orchard and
several times during the day paved
the way for the contrayertion of his
testimony on material points. Orch
ard stood the strain and test very
we'll and held tenaciously to the story
he related Thursday and the day be
fore.
Counsel flared up several times dur
ing the day and in the last passage at
arms prosecutor Hawley said that
Richardson told a falsehood when he
intimated that Orchard was a fixed
witness

Boise; Idaho. June Harry Orch
ard crowned his admissions of grave
crimes Thursday when continuing his
case against VIM. d. Haywood, he
made an explicitly detailed confession
Of the murder of Frank SteunenberS
by an internal machine that directly
opens the way for his own conviction
and execution. He swore that the as
sassination of Steunenberg was first
suggested by Haywood, was jointly
plotted by Haywood, Meyer Pettibone
and himself, was financed by Hay
wood, and was executed by himself
after the failure Of an attempt in
which Jack Simpkins had rartici-
pated.
At Thursday afternoons session
Orchard lifted the total of his own
murdered victims to IS, detailed the
circumstance under which he tried to
murder Former Governor Peabody,
Judge Gabbert. General Sherman Bell,
Dave. Moffat and Frank Herne. In
cidentally he confessed to a plan to
kidnap the child of one his former
associates. Then under cross eXami-
nation by the defense Orchard con-
fessed guilt of the sordid social crimes
of deserving his young child and wife
in Ontario, fleeing to British Column
bia with Hattie Simpson, the wife OF
another man, and committing bigamy
by marrying a third woman at Grip
pie Creek. through the shocking de-
tails of murder plots, stories OF secret

machines, as weapons the witness
went on in the same quiet offhand
manner that marked his demeanor

lower keys as the pitiful story of the
long hunt for SteunenberS narrowed

as the victim walked unconsciously to
his doom. Through it all he WINGED

Elkins law withou. Il jail penalty,

another law with a Jail penalty not
enforced, as was the case under the
Cleveland administration. This is am
ply borne out by the report of Mr..
Moody. who says, in part:
During the nearly twenty years
which have elapsed since the passage
tof the Interstate Cumemrce law of
1887. there has been many attempts
by indictment to enforce its penalties,
