the Vindieator mine, followed Harrah on
the stand. Johnson was in the mine az
the time of the explosion which killed
Superintendent Mccormick and Shift Boss
Melville Beck. He said today he was on
the eighth level when the explosion &C.
Cured on the sixth.
He described the effect of the expIo-
sion and the Inangied condition of the
bodies At the time of the explosion the
mine was being worked by non-union men,
the federation having declared a strike in
the district Johnson said he knew both
Sherman Parker and Bill Easterly.
Johnson was cross examined by Attor-
ney Richardson.
The cross examination was directed to
an effort to show that the company kept
powder stored on the sixth level, where
the explosion occurred. johnson said
some powder had been stored on the
eighth level, but that so far as he knew
none WIS stored on the sixth. He eX-
planned that the company proposed to
work a new drift on the sixth level and
he knew that this was the reason Beck
and Mccormick visited the level on the
morning the explosion occurred Johnson
was the first man to reach the scene of
the explosion.
Johnson said he was first spoken to
about coming to Boise by Floyd Thomp-
son, secretary of the Mine Owners asso-
citation. He consulted with the Pinker-
tons before coming and was furnished
with expense money by them.
The witness said he had not seen Me-
Parland since his arrival in Boise: in
fact, he had never seen the detective to
know him.
Here the prosecution veered to a new
course, introducing a witness to corrObor-
ate Orchard when he said Haywood told
him he had sent Steve Adams to CalifoF-
mia to get Fred Bradley in 1903. j. II.
Mcintyre. a special officer of the South
ern Pacific company, was called to the
stand and testified to arresting Adams
and another man in a sealed fruit car
which had just arrived in Ogden from
California The men were heavily armed.
The witness at this point was con-
fronted by Steve Adams, who is here un-
der arrest and is promised as a recalei
trant witness against Haywood. He
identified Adams as one of the men ar
rested. Orchard testified that Haywood
had said Adams got In some trouble. en-
route home and he had to send him some
money at Ogden
The defense objected to allowing McIn-
tyres testimony as having nothing 20
DO with the SteunenbeTg murder.
The prosecution argued that ii was
part of the general conspiracy and Judge
Wood ruled to admit it, The cross eX-
animation was confined to one or two
questions dealing with McIntyre's duties

McIntyre's testimony was eorroborated
by CITY Jaiisr Snyder of Ogden. The
charge against Adams and his eompan-
ion was that of trespass. The next wit
ness was j. + Fender, city detective of
Ogden. Over the protest of the defense,
the witness was allowed to detail con-
versation he had with Adams at the time
of the latter's arrest. Adams first asked
him If he was a Mason.

Colo
DO you remember what the contents
of the telegram were?"
Yes. sir
State them"
Here the defense interposed a success
full objection, saying the original telegram
was the best evidence. Senator Borah
said he would develop the contents of the
telegram later and turned the witness
over for cross examination. The attor-
neys for the defense contented themselves
with developing the fact that the Pin
kertens requested Pender to come to
Boise
@. II. Haekett, state agent of the West
ern Union Telegraph company, next was
called. He identified the copy of tel
egram which he said was received in the
Boise office for Thomas Hogan, by which
name Orchard once was known. The tel
egram was not offered In evidence, being
reserved until later.
The telegram was signed M" and came
from Spokane. Orchard testified that he
received a telegraphic message from At
torney Fred Miller of Spokane.
