BOISE, June lois the Harry
Orchard who told his story to the
jury in the now historic Meyer
Haywood case the same Harry
Orchard who confessed himself a
murderer and a cutthroat?
He did not look like the same
man.
Is he the pivot, as claimed by
Haywood's friends, in the greatest
and most infamous deception of the
decade, a man without sense OF
honor, without vestige of repen-
lance, with nothing but a wonder.

ers, backed by the police officials,
in malignant determination to
fasten unspeakable odium upon the
Western Federation of Mintrs and
crush out Of existence the only or.
ganization in the western mining
country that stands for fair wages
and fair treatment of labor?
"You are not putting up the
Harry Orchard who is a murderer"
declare Haywood's friends. "You
are putting up a washed and dress
ed and massaged and perfectly APP
pointed figure whose outward ap-
pearance is deliberately calculated
to hide the treacherous and despic.
able heart that Is beating under
neath!"
They are shouting for the real
Orchard, that the world shall see
as he really is this man who con-
fessed to rs murders and calmly
unfolded a tale of wickedness that
shocked even the callous officers of
the law.
Orchard the witness did not look
at all like Orchard the criminal.
The two photographs with this
article show the striking dissim.
ilarity.
Orchard the criminal wore a bad
ly fitting coat. no natty collar, no
well tied scarf, no jaunty negligee
shirt. His hair was hacked, not

well-groomed There was no
mustache to hide the weak and
cruel mouth. There were lines in
the dull face. A life of indulgence
and intimacy with crime had left
its unmistakable impress upon the
sodden face. This man might be
guilty of anything.
But Orchard the witness might
be a Sunday school superintendent.
He Is carefully attired-collar,
cuffs, scarft, even to quietly dis
played watch chain, which lies
across a benevolent breast. He af-
fects dark coIors, as becomes one
contrite and oppressed with sense
of his own wickedness. His hair is
cut in the mode, well trimmed. The
mustache is carefully arrange. His
hands are perfectly kept. his nails

prison walls has removed the lines
of Indulgence, and the eyes are
clear and almost tranquil.
Yet it Is this clamly poised gen.

The situation is all the more

To DR.. p s. Byrne belongs the
credit for knocking out the schemes

is of the heaviest ealty owners in
the city, has influential connections
in the east who are close to the
Roosevelts. These people in

COMPLAINS WIFE I,
DRANK "a PiNTS

st. Louis, March 2T.-Whether a
wife's consumption of twenty-four pint
bottles OF beer in a single day is ground
for divorce Is a question under consid-
GRAFTON by Judge Reynolds in the suit
of John Green against Mrs. Annie M.
Green.
Green is q mechanical engineer and,
formerly lived With his wife at 1919
North Grand avenue. He said on the,
witness stand that he had known of her
drinking a case OF beer In one day and,
said that he frequently found the house
in disorder and his wife intoxicated
when he brought men friends in to
dine. Or one OF these occasions, he
said, he found her In bed. fully dressed
even to her shoes.
Judge Reynolds remarked at the CON-
clusion of the evidence hat he did not
think that, after the couple had lived
together for eleven years, the wife
should be turned adrift by a divorce, a
prey to the cruelties OF the world"
when her only fault was a fondness for
beer, OF which the husband was aware
when he married. He said, however.
that he would take the ease under con-
sideration and decide IL later.
