BOISE June 17.-When the Steunen-
berg murder trial is resumed tomor-
row morning Harry Orchard will he
the first witness called to the stand by
the state He will at first be i'm the
hands of the defense in order that a
series of formal impeachment. ques-
tions may be propounded and then the
prosecution will take him over for his
redirect examination Despite his long
stay on the stand there were several
points relative to the Steunenberg mur-
der and the alleged conspiracy behind
it that were not developed and these
the state will bring out.
The prosecution also wants to clear
up several matters dealt with by tho
defense when Orchard was under cross
examination When Orchard was
brought back from Caldwell this after
noon his guards took him to the Office
OF James H. Hawley, senior counsel for
the state, for a conference as to his
testimony and at the conclusion of the
meeting he was driven back to the
penitentiary.
Counsel for the state had an extended
conference this afternoon as to the
concluding moves in their case, chiefly
relative to the course to be pursued
by them toward Steve Adams. The
decision as to Adams was not final but
it was tentatively agreed not to call
him as witness for the state, but to
leave him for the defense, if it sees
fit to make him a witness. Adams
stands by the repudiation of the con-
fession which. it is claimed, he made
to Detective MCFARLAND and there his
connection with the case. other than
in the use of his name, rests for the
present.
