The San Francisco call., 1907-06-15

train when he heard the explosion and
came to see what II was.
Orchards story of his attempt 10 set
off the powder in the VindIcator mine
being frustrated by the unexpected ap-
pearance of a eager was also cor
roborated by Clarence l.. Harrah. now
a millman at the reduction works in
Colorado City. where the strike Of 1908
was. Harrah has always heen a nom
union man and the scorn that Darrow
felt for all such came out In spite
of himself in his cross eNaminatio
(. Harrah knew nothing of Orchards s
attempt to touch off the powder. He
simply told of the incident of seeing a
man come up the shaft to the eighth
level. where he was waiting for the
cage to go out of the mine, and of
telling the man to hurry up as it was
supper time. But the man ran. Har-
rah followed into the level, intending
to go to the drift where the man had
been working. But he came Suddenly
upon a man. who fired at him twice
with a revolver, and he ran back to
the station.
He said in answer to Darrow's ques-
tions that he had been shot at several
times before when he was down in
Oklahoma, but he wasn't expecting
this one" and so he ran.
LAW ERS CLASH AGAIN
1t was Darrow's questions about the
attentions of the Pinkertons to this
witness that led TO the row. Harrah
started to answer one of them ana
Darrow interrupted. Borah insisted
that the witness be allowed to con-
clude. Darrow flared up and declared
that Harrah was not answering the
question as he had asked it. Judge
Wood cut in with the remark that the
witness would be allowed to answer.
But he must answer it my way" ex-
claimed Darrow hotly. meaning not ex-
actly what he said but that the answer
should be responsive to his question
and not speech. Darrow had his way,
too, and Harrah then told exactly what
dealings with the Pinkertons he had
had and how much money he had got
from them
AT the afternoon session the state
began the corroboration of Orchards
story on another point but had to sus-
pend without completing it because
Of legal difficulties. This was Orchards
testimony that Haywood had once told
him of having sent Steve Adams to San
Francisco to kill Bradley. Orchard re-
ported Haywood as saying then that
Adams had failed and had come back
to Ogden. where he went broke and
telegraphed for money which Haywood
sent him.
ADAMS ARREST AT OGDEN
Borah called witnesses who testified
as to the arrest of Adams at Ogden
when he was caught in fruit car
stealing a ride from the west City
Detective Pender of that city testified
to getting Adams out of Jail as a
brother Mason and to identifying him
at the telegraph Office, where he saw
Adams write telegram to Haywood.
Pender was not permitted to give the
said that he could. Then the local
manager Of the Western Union company
was called and directed TO bring inc
original of Adams message TO Hay
wood and the response from Haywood.
He replied that he could not do SO, as
they, We're out of his Jurisdiction
Thereupon Senator Borah asked the
court for an order requiring the man
ager, who is the statutory agent of the
telegraph company in this state, to fur
nish the messages. saying that as this
was a corporation doing business in
Idaho the agent could be punished for
contempt of court if he did not obey.
Judge Wood said that he would issue
the order and that Senator Borah could
prepare It.
The prosecution turned to others of
the money transactions mentioned by
Orchard and called ]. c. Huston, an
Official OF a Denver bank. But Senator
Borah explained that before he could
proceed with Huston's testimony it
would be necessary to have certain
papers which were in his office, and as
it was near the time for adjournment
Judge Wood decided to stop then and
go on half an hour earlier tomorrow.
