to contradict

How the leak occurred is unknown.
1t has become known that the reason
the defense sought TO force the state
to file a bill of particulars was on ac-
count of the Orchard affair. McPar-
land and Gooding a year ago made
public a synopsis of Orchards alleged
confession. This appears to have de-
ceived the friends of the accused and
started them on the wrong track.
Decline to Discuss It.
Borah and Hawley declined to dis
cuss the matter. When the latter was
asked if the defense had Orchards
story, he said he did not think so.
However, a lawyer for the defense,
declared that he not only had a com.
plete confession, but had conclusive
proof, ready to present that many of
Orchards statements were manufac.
tured from whole cloth.
