Tuseday evening, with the utmost
secrecy and care, Ochard was brought
in from the state penitentiary and
lodged in Attorney Hawley's law Of
nce where he passed the night on
leather lounge. He was driven into
town in a two.seated carriage, himself
and Mrs. Warden Whitney occupying
the rear seat, and the warden and his
daughter sitting in front. The warden
was armed with a short-barreled rife.
Behind him came another carriage
containing number Of guards who
with other officers guarded the build
ing all night long.
The entry into court Of the murder
ous villain who has been held in the
state penitentiary a year and half
for his many crimes, was dramatic.
The morning papers had spread
throughout the town the news that he
lad been brought in the night before,
and the court room was jammed.
After the other witnesses had testi-
fed there was a lull of some ten OF
fifteen minutes, and then Harry Or
ehard was called. He entered the
court room with guards before and be-
hind him, expert gun-men, the thugs
of the northwest. Jack Meldrum was
one, sxeonviet with his conscience
only knows how many murders to his
name. He took up his stand by the
main doors where three other guards
were stationed. The court room made
one think of a military siege. All tho
entrances were double guarded Two

would do anything for almost an.
consideration. He is of the born Grim

to enable him to carry out his crimes
but not enough to enable him to sue
eessfully cover them up.
He bore certain tremulous aspec

usual and abnormal role he was abou
to assume.

The capitalist papers take great dc
light in spreading around how nervou
Uavwood Is. and how the testimon.
is yisibly affecting him. Such report
are entirey untrue. He is calm an
self.possessed, consults constantly wit
his attorneys, and shows no signs o
fiinching whatever. He is little pal
and worn from the long ordeal, an
that is all. And he certainly is nc
shivering before Harry Orchard.
Orchards testimony was simply
repetition Of what has already bee
published as his confession, and whic
he repeated as one who had learne
a lesson well. Hawley led the way fo
him with questions 80 much so tina
Attorney Richardson accused him
