 Governor Goodin's Affidavit.
 On Orchards confession Detective Me Partland and Governor Goodin made af- 1 fidavits for use by the gas company in moving for a new trial. Did you know the motion for new trial based on these affidavits could have been overruled by the court?"
 NO sir, I heard the judgment was 1 stayed' But that was on approval l q don't know about that" i Orchard said the morning he placed the l bomb at the front door of the Bradley i house, people were passing on their way l to work The lead bomb was inside a wooden bob. Orchard took a down town 1 car and was out of ear shot before the 1 explosion occurred l From the examination of the place after the explosion, don't you know that 1 the walls were blown out instead Of i n?' asked MT. Richardson.
 "'rhey were all shattered l Orchard said that as Bradley opened l the door he would be sideways to the 1 bomb and the explosion would be more likely to blow him out than in. Draws Diagram.
 The witness with the same calmness 1 that has marked his demeanor through 1 out drew a diagram for the attorneys, show just where he had placed the bomb, and where Bradley would be with the i opening of the door.
 At the suggestion of Judge Wood Or ] cllard left the witness chair and walked l over to the jury where he explained the | diagram to the twelve men. He did not hesitate in supplying and detail demanded by Richardson.
 Orchard said thatit was from the news apers ssthat he learned Bradley had been blown into the street. Then you don't know positively that ! he was blown into the street? asked MT. Richardson
 "I did not see him go," said Orchard. l In reply to questions, Orchard said he went to the corner grocery a few days after the explosion to learn Bradley s condition.
 'Why didn't you read the paper for that, too?" Richardson wanted to know.
 Because I didn't believe all saw in tine pa apers."
 The grocer said the explosion was gen. orally attributed to gas, but he thought i it was a bomb.
 q told him I didn't think so at all,' 1 declared Orchard
 Orchard next told of returning to Den yer after receiving more money from 1 Pettibone He disguised himself as a sol dier and wore glasses
 Don't you know that soldiers never wear glasses" asked Richardson. i q didn't know it, mo-" said the wit ness.
 Forgets Roosevelt. Then Attorney Hawley for the state chimed in: You forgot MT. Roosevelt at San Juan, MT Richardson
 He was not a soldier" shouted Rich ardson, and he wasn't at San Juan, de- clared MT. Nugent of the defendants s counsel Arriving in Denver, Orchard went first to see Pettibone. He then met Steve Adams and went with Billy Alderman to live at Adams houses, Mrs Adams cooking the meals.
 Didn't Steve have to move because he couldn't pay the rent?" asked Richardson No sir, we had plenty of money. The old place was not satisfactory" 1 Orchard continued to live with the Adams family from before Christmas, i 1904, to February, 1905. Richardson en- deavored by many questions to show that both Orchard and Adams were poverty stricken all winter long. The witnes repeatedly declared that both men went well supplied with funds, the money coming from Pettibone and Haywood. orchard said he made Bradley's condi- tion our worse to Pettibone and Adams than it really was when he reported to them. He had heard the man was not permanently injured.
 Lied, Says Orchard.
 You lied, didn't you" snarled Richard | son.
 Yes"
 Tt was your habit to lie about every thing, wasn't it?''
 "Whenever it suited my purpose better
 You have always been liar, now | haven't your q have lied at times since l began to go wrong"
 And you started wrong pretty early, didn't you?"
 Somewhere between 25 and 30 years old''
 Richardson asked the witness if he sent any money he received for the Bradley affair to either of his wives. He said he had not. He supposed Pettibone was looking out for his Cripple Creek wife.
 But nobody was caring for your sec ond wife?"
 NO sir" sair Orchard The witness bit his lower lip and seemed to show one. of those very rare traces of feeling in his voice
 Isn't 1t a fact" continued Richardson
 
 Creek had to sell her wash tubs in order to get things to eatss" NO, sir; Pettibone had promised to look out for her when l left Colorado"
 An incident typical of the entire cross examination. next occurred. Richardson asked Did you talk to Haywood about sending money to your wife?' Yes" replied Orchard.
 That makes two visits to Pettibone's back yard?"
 NO, sir; it does not make anything of the sort" said Orchard, positively. "We talked about 1t the day they wanted me to go to California to see Bradley"
 Witness InfaIIible.
 As to the details of his story Orchard seemed infallbIe. He repeats them as oft en as Richardson desires and seems never to lose patience. Orchard said 1t was while he was living with Steve Adams
