Boise, Idaho. June 14-The nroeec,,+;o :; -, =
Steunenberg murder trial to-day. ENTERING !,
earnest on the corroboration of Harry Orchards
testimony, showed a continuous thread of owl
denoe connecting George Pettihone's stora in
Denver with Orchard at San Francisco while
the latter was engaged in the Bradley murder
plot; partly developed another direct line by
which il is hoped to show that Haywood en-
gagged and paid Steve Adams for the same des-
nerate work and added special touches of con-
frnlation 10 Orchards general story
Oficers Of the postofflces at San Francisco and
Denver produced original records showing that
in August. 1904, a registered letter was sent
under the name of -. Wolff from the address
of Pettbone's store in Denver to j. Dempsey
at the Golden West Hotel in San Francisco
Orchard swore that he stayed at the Colder,
West Hotel under alias that was either
Dempsey" or Hogan; that Pettbone used
the aliases of Wolff and Pat Bone" and that
under the name of -'Wolff' Pettibone, in the
month mentioned, sent him a registered letter
containing S1o0 10 pay his expenses while at
tempting 10 kill Bradley.
Police officers Of Ogden established the arrest
there in June 1903. of Steve" Adams and A.
7 Williams. They We're sealed in an eastbound
car loaded with fruit When arrested for tres
pass each had a brace of revolvers When re-
leased through ihe lnluence OF = detective, to
whom Adams appealed as Mason they went
straight TO the office of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company and sent a telegram to Hay
wood in Denver. The defence headed off an at
tempt TO get the contents of the telegram before
the jury, but the state indicated that it would
return 10 the charge later and develop the incident
further when il had broadened its foundation
The state through an official of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. produced the origi-
nal OF telegram supposed TO have been sent by
Fred Miller. Of Spokane. recorded as one Of
HaywOcds counsel, to Harry Orchard before
the latter arrested at Caldwell for the
Steunenberg murder, but did not introduce II
because its identification is still insufficient
The state also got a court order directing the
Western Union TO produce it's records showing
that Haywood sent money 10 Adams at Ogden
When the Ogden testimony was introduced
Steve" Adams brought into court under
guard TO be identified. Adams,s name has run
all through the trial. but this was his first ap-
pearance in person Adams seemed in a de-
fant humor, and walked 10 a point directly in
front OF the Jury and gazed steadily at the wit
ness confronting him. The state also produced
several witnesses who confirmed features of
Orchards story as to the Bradley affair, the first
descent into the Vindicator mine with the object
Of doing violence the final success Of the Vindi-
Gator plot and the circumstances under which
the detective, Lyte Gregory, was killed. Aside
from its fight against the admission of all evil
oence offered by the state. on the general ground
that il was in no way connected with the accused
man, the defence contented itself with showing
that all Of the witnesses had been found and in
lerviewed by Pinkerton detectives.
