Denied Having a Grudge.


Orchard denied that he had any grudge
against Bradley from his experience in
the Occur d AleDes.
You were just taking orders to kill
from your chief?' suggested Richardson.
II was doing what Mr.. Haywood told
me-"
You were Haywood's executioner ex-
traordinary?"
The prosecution objected to the form
of the question and it was not answered.
Richardson again asked Orchard If he
didn't have a grudge against Bradley by
reason OF the fact he was driven out of
Northern Idaho.
If ] was driven out it was my own
fault"
Taking the witness back to the blow
ing up of the concentration mill of the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan nine of which
Bradley was once the manager, Richard
son asked him how long he had been a
member of the federation at this time.
About month, replied Orchard. Be-
fore that time he had belonged to the
knights of Labor.
Orchard said Pettibone bought his ticket
for him and gave him $50 and a new
grip sack. In San Francisco he stopped
the first two weeks-in August, 19o4-at
the Golden West hotel. From there he
went to boarding place in Tenth street
Bradley was in Alaska when Orchard
reached the city While waiting for him
Orchard spent Iart of his time in Caliente
Springs
Money for Pettibone.
Orchard heard from neither Haywood
nor Meyer while in California, but re-
ceived several from Pettibone. These he
destroyed INN ediately after reading.
why DIDN'T you save some of these
so you could have hold on Pettibone IN
case he ever flew the track?" asked
Richardson.
Il wasn't thinking about getting any,
thing on him-didn't have any desire to. .
The first money received from Pettibone
in California was 800, which came in
registered letter. Pettibone said in the
letter that things were getting warm in
COlOradO-that Johnny Neville and the
boy had been arrested and the authori-
ties were looking for Orchard. He said
Orchard had better lay low.
The letter was signed Pat Bone" The
money was in $50 bills
''You would read of crimes In the pa
pers and then lay claim to them?'
NO, sir; not that"
Altogether, Orchard said he got about
$3.50 while in San Francisco. Peter L.
Huff, secretary of the bartenders' union,
identified him at the telegraph office.
His Memory Faulty.
Orchard said he did not know to whom
the return registry card was addressed.
He thought the money came in the name
of Wolff. The next money, another 500,
came by Postal telegraph from Pat
Bone"

Orchard received some of the money
in the name of Harry Green.
