that the walls were blown out instead
Of in2" asked Mr, Richardson,
They were all shattered"
Orchard said that as Bradley opened
the door he was probably standing
sideways to the bomb. and the explo-
sion would be more likely to blow him
out than in.
The witness, with the same calmness
that has marked his deneanor through
out. drew a diagram for the attorneys
showing just where he had placed the
bomb and where Bradley would be with
the opening of the door. At the sug-
gestiOn of Judge Wood, Orchard left
the witness chair and walked over to
the jury box. where he explained the
diagram 10 the twelve men. He did not
hesitate in supplying any detail de-
manded by Richardson.
Did Not Know Positively.
Orchard said that ii was from the
newspapers that he learned Bradley
had been blown into the street.
Then you do 1T FDOw positively that
he was blown into the street ?" said
Richardson
Il didn't see him go" said Orchard,
unperturbed.
In reply to questions. Orchard said
he went TO the corner grocery a few
days after he explosion to learn Brad
Iey's condition.
Why didn't sou read the papers for
that. toO" Richardson wanted to know
Because I didn't believe all ! saw
in the papers
The grocer said the explosion was
generally attributed to gas. but he
thought ii was a bomb
Il told him I didn't think so at all,
declared Orchard
Orchard next told of returning to
Denver after receiving more money
from PettibO0e. He disguised himself
as soldier and wore glasses.
Don't You know thai soldiers never
wear glasses?" asked Richardson.
Il didn't know It, no." said the wit
ness
Roosevelt the Hero of San Juan"
Then Attorney HawIey, for the state.
chimed in: You forget, Mr.. Roosevelt
at San Juan, Mr.. Richardson"
He wasn't a soldier" shouted Mr..
Richardson.
and he wasn't at San Juan" de-
clared MI. Nugent, of the defendants
counsel.
Orchard said he had seen several
San Francisco papers TO Pettibone.
Arriving in Denver he went first to
see PettibOne, then met Steve Adams
and went with Billy Alderman to live
at Adams house. Mrs. Adams cooked
the meals.
Didn't Steve have to leave because
he couldn't pay the rent?" asked Rich
ardson.
NO, sir. We had plenty of money.
The old place was not satisfactory"
Orchard continued To live with the
Adams family from before Christmas.
1904, TO February 1905. Richardson en-
deavored by many questions to show
that both Orchard and Adams were
poverty-stricken all winter long.
The witness repeatedly declared that
both men were well supplied with
funds. The money coming from Petit
bone and Haywood.
Orchard said ne made Bradley's con-
dition out worse 10 Pettibone and
Adams then it really was when he re-
ported to them. He had heard the
man wasn't permanently injured.
You lied, did yOu?" sEarled Richard
son.
Yes"
1T was your habit to lie about every
thing, wasn't it?"
Whenever it suited my purpose bet
ter"
You have always been liar, now,
haven't you?"
Il have lied at times since L began
to go wrong"
And you started wrong pretty ear
ly, didn't you?"
Somewhere between % and 80 years
old"
Richardson asked the witness if he
sent any money he received for the
Bradley affair TO either Of his wives
He said he had not. He supposed Pet
tibOne was looking out for his Cripple
Creek wife.
But nobody was caring for your Ca
madam Wife,
No, sir" said Orchard.
Faint Show of Feeling.
The witness bit his lower lip and
seemed 10 show one of those very rare
traces of feeling in his voice
Isn't il a fact" continued Richard
son, that the woman you wronged i'm
Cripple Creek had TO sell her washtubs
in order To get things to eat?"
No. sir, PettibOne had promised to
look out for her when 1 left Colora-
do"
An incident typical of the entire
cross-exarlin2tiOn next occurred. Rich
ardson asked:
Did you talk to Haywood about
sending money to your wife?"
Yes" replied Orchard.
''Where?"
In Petitioners backyard"
That makes two visits to Petitioners
backyard"
