Of BRADLEY SHOWN Up
Prosecution Connecting the Threads of Orchards
Confession by San Francisco
Witnesses.
Defense Only Drawing Out the Fact That the Whole Case Was
Worked Up by PinkertonS.

Boise, Idaho, June 1.-THE prosecu-
ton in the Steunenberg murder trial
today, entering in earnest uDon the sub
sanitation and corrCbOratiOn Of Harry
Orchards testimony, showed contin-
Gus thread of evidence connecting
George Petitioners store in Denver with
Orchard at San Francisco, engaged on
the Bradley murder plot: partly de-
yeloped another direct line by which it
is hoped to show that HAYWOOD en-
gagged and paid Steve Adams Cor the
same desperate work. and added sew
eral touches of confirmation to Or
chard's general story.
Officials OF the United States post
offices at San Francisco and Denver
produced original records showing that
I'm August 1904, a registered Letter was
sent under the name of y. Wolff' from
the address of Petitioners store in Den
yer to ~. Dempsey" at the Golden West
hotel, in San Francisco. Orchard swOrc
that he stayed a the Golden West I'M
der an alias that was either "Demp-
Esey" or Hogan" that PettihCne used
| the aliases of wolff and Pat Bone"
and that under the name of Wolff
Petubone in the month mentioned sent
him a registered letter containing 800
10 pay his expenses while engaged on
the Bradley murder.
Sent Telegram to Haywood.
Police officials of Ogden established
the arrest there in June, 1903, of Steve
Adams and A. L. Williams. They were
sealed up In an east-bound car loaded
with fruit and when arrested for tres
pass each had a brace of reVOlverS.
When released through the influence of
detective, who was a brother Mason
of Adams. they went straight 10 the
offices Of the Western Union and sent
a telegram 10 Haywood at Denver.
The defense headed off an attempt to
get the contents of the telegram before
the jury, but the state Indicated that
it would return to the charge later and
further develop the incidenI when il
has broadened its foundation. The state.
through an official of tia Western
Union. produced the original of tele-
gram supposed to have been sent to
Attorney Fred Miller of Spokane and
now recorded as one If Haywood's
counsel, to Harry Orchard after the lat
ter was arrested at Caldwell for the
Steunenberss murder, but did not intro
duCe il because its identification is still
insufficient The state also got an or
der Of court directing the Western
Union to produce its records showing
that Haywood sent money to Adams ~
Ogden.
Steve Adams in Court.
When the Ogden testimony was intro
duced Steve Adams was brought into
court under guard to be identified.
Adams name has run through the trial,
but this was his first appearance in per-
son. Adams seemed in a defiant humOr
and walked to point directly in front
of the jury and gazed steadily at the
witness confronting him.
Besides its work on the PettibOne-Or-
chard and Haywood-Adams lines, the
state produced several witnesses who
confirmed features OF Orchards story
as to the Bradley affair, the first
descent into the Vindicator mine with
the object of doing violence, the final
successes of the indicator plot and the
circumstances under which Detective
IYte Gregory was killed. Aside from
DTS fight against the admission of all
4 The evidence offered by the state on the
general ground that il was in no way
connected with the accused, the de-
tense cOntented itself with showing
that all of the witnesses had been 10
Gated and interviewed by Pinkerton de-
tectives, and that they had been given
advances of expense money through
Pinkerton agencies.
Orchard Getting Acquainted.
l.. b. Guibbinni. the san Francisco gro
Gerry man who introduced Harry Orchard.
then known as Barry to the servants in
the Bradley household, was the first wit
ness in the Haywood trial today. He said
that Orchard came to his store and hung
around and spent considerable money Or
chard asked questions about the Brad
ley household. asked to be introduced to
the servants, and asked Guibbinni to get
him room in the neighbOrhoOd
Guibbinni saw Orchard moving his lug
gage the night before the Bradley house
was dynamited. He also saw the
poisoned milk
Guibbinni described the result of the
bomb Orchard placed at the front door
leading to the Bradley apartments in
Washington street. The whole front of
the house was blown out.
The defense renewed the tactics of YES
terday by moving to strike out the testi-
mony of the witness as not connecting
Haywood with the Offense charged. The
motion Overruled.
Attorney DaTrOw. on Oss-eXamination
devoted himself TO learning the condi-
lions under which the witness was
brought 10 Boise to testify. Guibbnni
said the detectives came to him and told
him he had to come to Boise and there
was no use trying to dodge it
so they were going to kidnap your
commented barrow.
