marshal OF Victor. Col. who went
through the stirring times of trouble
there 10 1908 and 1904; Bulkeley Wells,
the former acknowledgement of Colo
Iado, who dug up the bomb planted
to Kill Gov. Peabody and who was In
charge Of the special train that ran
from Denver to Boise with Meyer.
Haywood aud Pettibone on. and
which Is generally called the kidnap
ping trip, and dozen other men of
that ilk, are here and will partici.
pate In the case as witnesses. One
of these, a Pinkerton detective, will
testify that he had been member OF
the Western Federation Of Miners for
some years, and during that time he
was president Of a lodge. He, while
not a.member OF the executive board,
was In their confidence up to cer-
tain point, and at the same time was
making regular reports to the detec-
tive agency. This man will be for
midable witness for the state. His
employment to join the Western Fed
Grafton and learn their secrets Is in
line with the detection Of the Molly
Maguires In Pennsylvania and which
led to the conviction OF the men ac-
cused. Capt. James Mcfarland. who
has charge OF the present case since
the arrest OF Orchard, and who is
now the superintendent Of the Pink
erton agency with headquarters at
Denver, was the detective who joined
tie Molly Maguires and secured the
secrets OF the organization.
The cross-examipation of Orchard
is bringing out mass Of detail that
will again be taken up in tie re.
direct. 1t would appear even as II
the prosecution had purposely merely
sketched through the story Of Or
chard's life in order to allow the de-
fense to bring out certain features.
This is instanced In the connection
Of Orchard and Meyer, the president
of the organization OF which Hay
wood is the secretary. Also the in
timacy between Orchard and Petit
bone, the third OF the prisoner.
charged with the same crime in tho
same Indictment, will be brought out
very clearly.
There is some doubt as to what
course Adams will follow. His wife
who has been brought into the cast
as having boarded Orchard and Simp
kins, but who has not been connect
ed with the commission Of any OF tn,
alleged crimes, has been In Rois,
since the beginning OF the trial
She is seen in the courtroom ever
day In company with Mrs. Pettibone
There Is no room to sit inside th'
railing. Mrs. Meyer is still confined
to the hospital in Boise and Is visited
by the husband nearly every day.
The jury is allowed much freedom

that IL Hbe jury wished To 90 out int
