Threatening Letters.

KANSAS CITQ, Mo-, June flames H.
Peabody, former governor of Colorado. who
is here on business. said last night. in an
interview, that he had, since the Haywood
trial in Boise began, received several anony-
nous letters threatening his life. He said
he had paid no attention to the letters. be-
cause they evidently had not come from re-
sponsible sources.
1T would be very injUdicious on my part
to make a statement about this man Or
chard's testimony. or about the Haywood
case" continued Mr.. Peabody. I've been
subpoenaed as a witness in the case, and
I'm only waiting a telegram calling me to
Boise to testify. 1 wish 1 might state just
what my testimony will be and what l
know about the case and these various
threats and charges, but 1 don't want to do
anything that could be construed in the
light of trying to create any prejudice in the
Haywood case.

is Easterly in the room?' asked Rich
ardson in loud voice.
A man stood up in the rear of the court
room and was commanded by the attorney
for the defense to come down the center
aisle and confront the witness.
'Is that the Easterly you mean" Rich
ardson asked of Orchard.
The witness looked at the newcomer and
quickly replied:
That's the man."
Orchard said that the experiments were
conducted in an abandoned shaft house.
Soldiers were stationed within 300 yards,
but nobody said anything about the revolver
shots and explosion.
Court took recess at 11:30 till 1870 pm,
with Orchard still on the stand.

Met Death in Vat of Asphalt.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK. June John Boland. aged
thirty-four who lived at $50 Grand street.
Williamsburg and was employed in the
Barber asphalt works, at Stage street
and Varick avenue. met his death early
this morning in a large vat of asphalt.
Bolland was working on a platform near
the vat when il is thought that he made a
misstep and, losing his balance. slipped
into the boiling mass His shouts for help
brought his fellow employees. who made des-
perate efforts to save him. but in vain.
Several of these would-be rescuers in their
attempts to help the man were severely
burned. When Bolland was finally extri-
Gated from the vat he was dead.

SO terribly injured by the explosion spoken

so terribly injured by the explosion spoken
of by Orchard that he was unable to clearly
follow the accounts of the outrage. He re-
ferred to the allegation that the explosion
which wrecked his home and himself was
caused by an escape Of gas in the front
hall, which was ignited by a match struck
to light his cigar.
Possibly there were two explosions-the
first the Internal machine and then an eX-
plosion of gas caused by the dynamite.
The gas mains may have been the lifting
force which threw me into the street"
The owner of the fiat sued the gas COM
pany and was awarded $4,000 damages,
the explosion being attributed to a defec-
tive meter. The gas company took an APP
peal which is now pending in the supreme
court.
Orchards confession having become a
matter of court record at Boise, it is alto
gether probable that the record will be used
in the gas company's efforts to set aside
the judgment Of the lower court.

Haywood Shows Little Concern.

Haywood. the man whom Orchard pic
lures as the arch conspirator, shows little
concern. He even laughs outright when
asked what he thinks of the testimony He
asserts positively that the connection OF
his name with the murderer is falsfica-
ton. and that Orchard has connected him
with the crimes partly out OF spite and
partly at the suggestion of detectives and
enemies Of the Western Federation of
Miners. 1t is not known yet II Haywood
will go on the stand in his own defense.
His counsel say they do not know that
this will be necessary, as they have SO
much with which to discredit Orchard
Clarence barrow, who undoubtedly is
closer to the prisoner than any other Of the
members of his counsel, and who spends
much Of his time when out of the court
room with Haywood in his cell. says that
it may be necessary to put Haywood on
the stand but that it will be some time
before they will finally decide on this Mr..
Darrow expects the case to last until Au-
gust l. but the general opinion of counsel
is that 1t should be concluded within five
weeks from now.
Orchards statement, published in the
Boise newspapers has created profound
sensation. Some of the details had been
published but the Importance of the con-
fession was not realized until the man
himself went on the stand. There is great
curiosity to see and hear the man who
