Boise, Idaho, June S.-Harry Or
rhad crowned hts admissions OF
grave crimes Thursday when, contln-
uing his case against William d.
Haywood, he made an explicitly de-
teiled confession OF the murder OF
Frank steunenberg by an internal
machine that directly opens the way
for his own conviction ad execution
for the offense. He swore that the
assassination Of steunenbers was first
suggested by Haywood, was jointly
plotted BY Haywood, Meyer, Petit
bone and himself; was financed by
Haywood and was executed by him
eelf, after the failure Of an attempt
81 which Jack slmpkins had particle
pated.

murdered Victims TO eighteen, detail

ates.
Then, under examination by
che defense, Orchard confessed guilt
or the sordgd social crimes OF desert
ms his young chHd and wife in On
tario fleeing to British Columbia with
Hattie Simpson, the wife OF another
man, and committing bigamy by
marrying a third woman at Cripple
Greek.
q'nrough the shocking details OF
murder plots. stories OF secret bomb
making and details OF man hunts,
with sawed on shotguns and internal
machines as weapons, the witness
went on In the same quiet, off-hand
manner that marked his demeanor on
"Wednesday.
IT'S voice dropped to lower key
as the pitifu story Of the long hunt
for steunenberg narrowed down to
the last day, and he told OF the race
from the hotel TO the home to beat
his victim, with the death trap, aud
the meeting in the evening gloom,
as the victim walked unconsciously
to his doom Through II ali ne
WINGED but once, and that was when
the defense made him name his six
sisters and his one brother, and give
their residences IN Ontario and New
York
Tac defense fought the story with a
multiplicity OF objections and sue
ceeded in heading on an attempt to
tell the story Of the murder of Ar
thur Collins, at Telluride, and tenn

There were the same precautions and
che same armed guards 70 project
Orcnard, and the same court room

tors the women ID men were as two

Orchard finished his direct examin-
alton at 1885 O'Clock and the cross ex-
amlnation had only reached down TO
the Occur d'Nene days OF 1893. when
tlle court rose.
Counsel for Haywood claim they

rhard has stated Is untrue, II is
even claimed that they viii, or can
produce people who will say that
fhey themselves committed murders
al which Orchard accuses himself.
Haswood, the man whom Orchard
pictnres as the arch conspirator,
shows little concern He even laughs
