EVIDENCE Of IMPORTANCE
Offered by the Prosecution in

Boise, Ida, June 19.-The prosecu-

offered one of its most important
pieces Of evidence against William d.
Haywood when, recalling Orchard for
redirect examination. it introduced
and secured the admission OF four let
tiers tending to show that Haywood
during the fall of 1908, when Orchard
swears he was engaged on various
crimes for the federation's leaders,
had participated in a plan to deceive
Mrs. Orchard, the second, of Cripple
Creek as to the whereabouts of her
husband.
Orchard swore that Haywood said
In the spring of 1905 that Mrs. Or
chard was repeatedly writing to him
as TO Orchards whereabouts and Or
chard suggested that he write her a
series of letters, date them at San
Francisco and have them delivered
through agents OF the Western Fed.

secured their admission. Then one
was written dated at Nome. Alaska.
and given to Marion Moore, then an
organizer for the Western Federation
Of Miners. to take to Alaska and mail
The state produced the letter and,
ever objections secured its admission.
Next the state produced letter
written by Haywood himself to Mrs.
Orchard showing that the prisoner
had knowledge of the Alaskan story
and this was admitted In evidence.
Orchard also testified that the re-
plies of Mrs. Orchard were sent to
him through Haywood.

Weather Vanes.

The best weather vanes are made
with the greatest nicely and precision,
so that they balance perfectly and
turn with the least possible wear. The
vane is, of course, longer on one side
Of the socket than on the other, or it
would not turn with the wind, but its
weight is the same on both sides. II
1t is a narrow vane, for instance, the
weight Of the solid head is easily made
equal to that Of the longer. projecting,
but thinner feather end, and all vanes,
whatever they may be, are balanced
as to weight and so adjusted that they
turn easily and with the least possible
friction.
