ister and two daughters. sit close
behind him, but the prisoner watches
every detail, consults with counsel
continuously and Is always alert, sell
dom showing the slightest sign. of
emotion.
Between counsel for the state and
for the defense the feeling is very
apparent. At every session there
comes a quick exchange OF words.
At times the situation becomes in
tense. J. II. Hawley, the senior
counsel for the state. is quick to an
ger and downright in his challenge.
United States Senator Borah, his
colleague, is keen, quick Of tongue
and sarcastic. Richardson, for the
defense, has resonant voice that
rises in anger. and, impatient of in
fterTuption, he frequently filings a
sneer at Hawley or Borah, or thun-
ders his objections when he thinks
an interruption out of place. Clar-
ence Darrow sits beside him as
watchful as cat. Slow OF action
and OF speech he seldom takes part
in the passages, and Is ever ready to
smooth the RULED feelings of either
side.
Judge Fremont Wood is perhaps
the most alert of the principals in the
case. Not word or movement
escapes him. He is prompt in deci.
sion, and permits no infringement on
the dignity of his court.

Adams, another prisoner-witness in
the case Oh the state against William

chard has made confession. Adams
has also confessed last year, but, un.
like Orchard, he repudiated the doc.
ument when he faced the gallows.
The confession is, however, sworn t.

correction and interlipeation in
Adams own handwriting. Astound'
ing though it may seem, those who
have seen Adams confessions say IL
surpasses Orchards story OF cold
blooded relation of manhunting anc
murder. The list Of Adams alleged
victims is not as long as that witt
which Orchard credits himself, but
this is said to be because Steve still
hunted single quarry, while Harry
to use his own words, ''did not cart
whether he killed one man or fifty
as he "felt at that time"
