JURY WITHIN A WEEK.

state Gets I'm More Evidence 60 C~orroDoraie
Orchard, VINO Again Takes the stand
and Adds weight 60 the story lie
liza Told ON Direct Examination.
BOISE, July l5.-Several pretty sharp iabs
we're landed on the defenoe's case by the
State when its rebutta was esume to-day.
Some OF them struck hard at statements
made by the witnesses for the defence,
statements that we're intended to destroy
certain features of Harry Orchards story.
On the other hand, the recall Of Orchard
to the stand gave the defence a chance TO
read some statements made by a mar from
the vicinity of the place where Orchard
lived Ia Conada. This man wrote that
Orchards maternal grandfather, Patrick
Mckinney. while he was much respected by
everybody who knew him, lost hs mind in
his later years and had "a tie Put under
restraint.
Orchard soid he knew nothing about that
and never saw his mothers father. The
defence's correspondent also wrote ths'
Orchards uncle, Peter Mckinney, son OF
Patrick, had hanged himself. Orchard said
hat was true.
WAS he ~insane?" asked Richardson.
-He was supposed to be q little demented
over family troubles" replied Orchard.
Orchard was on the witness stand not
more than fifteen minutes, but while he
was there he produced the same impression
Of coolness and perfect se~lf-coininand
that he made when he first told hs story
TO the jury. The State asked him if he
had ever been called Shorty, a name
that at Moran, the Cheyenne saloon
keeper, said he had heard applied TO him.
Orchard said nobody had ever called him
that 40 far as he knew He also denied
that he ever knew A. W. Gratis. a Pinkerton
man, who when disguised as a union
man, according to two federation men
who ~testiie !. introi1cei them TO Orchard,
Richardson wanted TO oner the FIRST iu-
stalment OF Haywood's autobiography,
which has just been published in a maya
zine. TO show that the term inner circle" us
applied to the leaders Of the Western
Federation had been taught TO Orchard by
Mcfarland, but the Court held it TO he i'm
material.
1t was Pat Moran. Il will be recalled,
whom Orchard testified he sent from
cheyenne TO Denver in June, 1904. after
the Independence explosion of June Q, to
: get $500 from Pettibone. Moran on the
witness stand denied this fatty. declaring
. Indl uc was " III III VhhNi wv Va
anywhere near that time.
4 &. W. Bynum. a Denver plumber. who
| Knew Moran well and used TO work with
him for Pettibone. testified this morning
that not only was Moran in Denver in June
of that year. but that he saw him and spoke
with him on the fifteenth day Of that month.
He met him on a South Eleventh street car.
AT the time l met him." said Bynum. 1T
was his good clothes that made him re-
markable TO me. He looked very PROS
porous and not at all the way he did the last
time | seen him. | asked him il he re-
membered me. At first he said he did not
know me. but when | gave him my card he
did"
The witness remembered the date by
means Of his day book. which showed he
did a certain plumbing job q that day. and
his memory was additionally refreshed by
the fact that the very next day he got into
a fight with a man who attacked him. u
was about the same kim OF a fight that Pat
Moran had once told him he had got into,
Richardson cross-examined the witness
at length. but made absolutely no impression
on his story,
There was a fine three cornered row among
lawyers, when T.. VI. Sabin. an attorney of
Idaho Springs. got into action: The defence
had sought to prove that the federation
men had never been troubled by Lyle
Gregory, and therefore they could have had
no interest in the Gregory murder, which
Orchard swore they hired him and Steve
Adams to commit Sabin testified that
at Idaho Springs Gregory was employed
to get testimony against the federation
members who were accused of conspiring
10 blow mp the Sun and Moon mine and
that he would have been a witness in an
arson case against other federation men
il he had not been killed before the case
could he brought TO trial.
d. G. Copley, a member Of the executive
board of the federation. was one OF the
men indicted. and Foster Milburn was
another. Milburn was one of the men
who. according TO Orchard. were with him
on the night he killed Gregory.
Richardson wanted TO know IL there
Of the Citizens Alliance at Idaho Springs
as TO whether Gregory and other guards
they employed were worth their wages.
Only i'm your mind. ] think. Mr.. Richard
son" said Mr.. Sabin. There followed a
row between Hawley and Richardson about
a question which Richardson attempted
TO close with the remark that he might
lie able TO find out who blew up the
Sun and Moon mines transformer.
Il don't doubt you could tell us il you
wanted TO" snapped Hswley.
Richardson pursued his inquiries about
the deportations Of union men after the
attack on the Sun and Moon property and in
reply he got statemsnts to the effect he
himself was one of the men llaced under
bonds TO keep the peace soon after that
time.
There WIS such n lively scrap about that
matter, Hewley, Richardson and Sabin all
TO inierpose, snying One witness at IA
time. gent Iemen."
