Boise. Idaho, July 16.-Another wac-
rant charging perjury against a wit
ness who has testified for the defense
in the case of the state of Idaho against
William D. Haywood was issued last
evening. c. w. Aller, formerly a tele-
graph operator and ticket agent at the
depot of the Florence & Cripple Creek
railway at Cripple Creek, Col, is charg-
ed with the offense by the prosecuting
attorney of Ada county. Both Aller
and MCGEE. who was arrested on tha
same charge, will be given an oppor-
tunity to furnish bonds and the prelimi-
nary hearing will be set to take place
within the next few days.
In the redirect examination of Attor-
ney Sabin at the afternoon session OF
the Haywood trial, Professor Hawley
began to question the witness as to the
reason for organizing the citizens alli-
ance on which the defense has laid
some time when finally the defense OBJ
jected on the ground of imma teriality.
We think it's immaterial too" de-
clared Hawley, land We didn't go into
it until the defense did,
1.-The court thinks it is immaterial,'
said Judge Wood. land the objection is
sustained
The witness could not recall any
trict prior to the summoning of Detec-
tives Gregory and Baird.
D. c. Scott, former special agent for
the Florence & Cripple Creek railroad,
was called to contradict the testimony
of a telegraph operator named Aller,
who testified that he saw Harry Or
chard in SCOTS Office in the depot az
Cripple Creek in April. 1904. Scott said
last of March. 1904, and gave up his
office in the depot at that time. He
re-entered the service in August, 1904.
but did not occupy his former office in
he had not seen Aller during the time
he was out of the employ of the rail-
road.
Cross-examined by Attorney Darrow,
Scott said his position was not that of
a detective, although some of the du-
ties were similar to those of similar Of
ficers. He said he was we'll acquainted
at Pinkertcn headquarters.
Gave Orchard Money.
How many times have you seen Har-
nv Orchard to talk to him?'' asked OAR
row.
six or seven times"
'Where?"
I'm the Florence & Cripple Creek
depot at Cripple Creek and at the
Adams hotel, Denver"
when he came voluntarily to tell about
the proposed attempt to wreck train.
Did you ever give him any money!
sYes-$20 at one slime. and $15 when
he went to Denver to see Bill Easteriy
you sent Orchard to headquarters of
the Western Federation of Miners?'
I'VE talked it over and thought East
erly might be found around there
Orchard told you he wasn't acquaint-
ed at headquarters, didn't he?"
Yes"
80 that the first time Harry Orchard
ever went to see Haywood, Meyer, or
Pettibone it was on money advanced by
you and on transportation issue by you?
IT gave him a pass and SIS to go to
Denver and see if he could learn any,
thing more from Bill Easterly, about
the train wrecking."
Did you ever see orchard In the pres
ence of K. C. Sterling. detective of the
Mine Owners association"
Yes, sir. twice, in my office in the
Cripple Creek depot. 1 introduced Or
chard to Sterling. No. 1 never saw Ster-
ling give Orchard any money!
Told of Proposed Wreck.
Scott said he knew Telegraph Operator
Aller quite WE'LL and had dined at his
house in Cripple Creek.
Mr. Hawley continued the examination
of Scott in redirect. A number of argu-
ments resulted over objections by the
defense in the questions by which Haw-
ley endeaVOred to bring out converse
lions between Orchard and Scott. The
conversations were finally admitted.
The witness said that when Orchard
came to see him for the first time he
introduced himself as a brother Mason.
Scott told him to go ahead and tell his
story. Orchard said that he and some
of the Bull hill boys were going to
wreck a train. that they had tried it
once and would do it again that night
Since that Scott told him that the sec
ond attempt had already been made.
In this conversation Orchard implicated
Parker and Davis as having been en-
gagged in plans to wreck the train
The claim of the defense is that
Scott with K. c. Sterling drew the
spikes. and that Orchard was engaged
by them to commit many outrages
and lay them at the door of the West
ern Federation of Miners.
Mrs. Lloyd Baker, now of Chicago,
but formerly proprietress Of the Miles
hotel in Denver. corroborated Scott as
to his being a guest at the hotel April
25, 1904 and for some time thereafter.
The hotel register and cash books were
in evidence.

On cross examination Mrs. Baker
said she had special reasons for re-
