TO DISCRtDlI ORCHARD.
The Defense in the Haywood Trial
Offer3 lts First Testimony.

Boise, Idaho, June 26.-The first di-
rect testimony in defense OF William
ID. Haywood was offered Tuesday. It
was chiefly directed toward showing
that Harry Orchard, blaming Frank
Steunenberg for the loss of his inter
est in the Hercules mine, had threat.
ened to have revenge by killing him.
and that the conduct OF Orchard and
X. G. Sterling, both before the lnde.
pendence explosion, when they were
frequently seen together. and after
wards, when Sterling called off a
bloodhound that was following Orch
ards trail, justified the inference that
the mine owners inspired the crime.
The calling of the first witness for
the defense was preceded by a further
examination OF Orchard to permit the
defense to complete its impeachiug
questions. These were nearly all in
connection with the claim that Orch.
ard killed Steunenberg because of an
alleged grudge growing out Of the sale
of his interest in the Hercules mine.
Orchard, who came into court under
protection of the same squadron of
guards that always act as his escort.
again denied that he ever threatened
to kill Steunenberg because of the
Hercules mine and again asserted
that he sold his interest In the mine
two years before the trouble that
drove him out off northern Idaho
Two witnesses called later in the
day swore that Orchard did threaten
to kill Steunenberg because OF the
Hercules matter, and the defense has
prepared the way for such testimony
from a dozen more witnesses. The
two heard yesterday were f. h. Redd.
