Haywood continued to attack Harry
Orchards testimony today ami center
ed their strongest ass ilt on the events
beginning with the explosion at the
Vindicater mine and ending with the
earlier meetings between the witness
and the leaders of tn Federation of
Miners in Denver. To the extent that
traffic with the other side OF the war
Of labor and capital in Colorado was
discreditable. they succeeded in dis
or diting the witness,
Taking mp the admission that Orch
ard made in direct examination that
he had been treacherous to his com
panlons in Cripple Greek by tipping
off the trainwrecking plot they de.
yeloped the fact that Orchard entered
the employ of ID. G. Scott who had
charge of railway detectives. Orchard
sal dthta with Scott he had met X. c.
Sterling a detective in the employ of

Connected With Both Sides.
Orchard said he had agreed to re-
port 10 Scott but that he was lying to
him; that he never intended to make
reports to him and never did make
reports. The defense also tried to
show that because he stood In with
ths other side Orchard was never mo-
taated by the militia In Cripple Creek
during the strike. Orchard admitted
that Scott had told him that II the
militia interfered with him he was 20
send for him, and that the militll
never did interfere with him or search
his house.
Orchard said he went TO Scott first i
he had not been paid for his work
at the Vindicator mine and he bolted
b cause he was given hard work like
the vindlcator job while other men
go the simple task of train wrecking
by displacing rail.

into the Vindicator coal pit, and he
