SOLVES MYSTERY OF
FINDING SKELETON
Bones Of Human Being Found in
Mine Shaft Near Golden Believed
to be of Unfortunate Prospector.

When Mrs. H. H, Perry of this city
read in Wednesdays New Mexican of
the finding of a human skeleton at the
bottom of an old mine shaft near
Golden in group OF mining claims
that formerly belonged to Mr.. Perry
she recalled an incident that occurred
several years ago which throws some
light on the mystery.
Between five and six years ago di,
rectly after my son was killed, Mr..
Perry and went to the mines and
stayed there all that winter" Mrs.
Perry said in discussing the discovery
OF the bones. I'VE had some men
working for us in the mines and one
day while returning home for dinner
they went past the old western mine
which had been abandoned and no
ticed that the dirt has been loosened
around the opening. Upon investiga.
ton they found that something had
fallen into the shaft that was heavy
but they could not make out whether
lit was man or an animal.
"Mr. Perry said he believed it was a
man from the marks at the mouth of
the mine, but as the shaft was one
hundred feet deep and there were no
means available Of getting down he
finally came to the conclusion that It
was burro. AS the days went by
and we never heard of anybody being
reported as missing We became salts
fed that it was some large animal that
had ventured too close to the opening
and tumbled into it and it slipped from
my memory altogether"
Mr.. Perry stated that her husband
worried about the affair for long
time for fear that it really was man
who had fallen to his death in the
shaft. She said there were large
number of prospectors in the district
at that time and Is now of the opin
ion that it was one of these men who
had probably fallen into the shaft ir
the darkness and was killed

Self-ConfessedA Ass.
ASSN Interviewed
in Prison
BY BOISE NEWsPAPERMEN
Satisfied With Treatment by
Authorities. ..-Court Frowns
on Affair.

Boise, Idaho, May 1.-THE sixth
day OF the trial of W. D. Haywood
commenced at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. Judge Wood, before the jury
was brought in, drew the attention
to the interviews with Harry Orchard
published in the morning newspapers
which he said undoubtedly were cal
culated to influence the witnesses and
the jury. While this matter was un-
der discussion the witnesses and jury
retired.
The Courts Views.
Judge Woods said:
while such publications appear to
the court as not precisely in contempt,
they are nevertheless calculated to in
fluence the jury in this cause Some.
thing must be done to prevent re-
currence of this If we are ever to get
jury. The court Is much surprised
at this publication at this time and
would be glad to hear from counsel
on the subject"
Done to Aid Orchard.
Counsel for the state said they had
always been opposed to the publica-
tion of anything tending to prejudice
possible jurors. Attorneys for the de-
Tense exonerated the counsel for the
prosecution from what had occurred,
but Attorney Richardson claimed that
suddenly making Orchard accessible
at the time of selecting jury, after
a seclusion Of fifteen months was evil
IDENTIFY done to influence prospective
Jurors.
The fact that the governor allowed
the newspaper men to have an inter
view with Orchard at this time was
for the express purpose, he said, of
gaining credence for Orchard. He and
Darrow vigorously denounced the ac-
tion.
County Attorney to Act.
Judge Wood sent for the county
prosecuting attorney and instructed
him to make an investigation of the
facts connected with the Orchard in
terview and to take such action as he
found necessary.
Orchard Talks to Reporters.
The interview given by Orchard
last night to the Associated Press
has proven the falsity Of the state
ment that he was insane or
that the confession he made had been
forced from him. During las. even.
ing the doors of the penitentiary
were opened to the newspaper men
for the purpose of showing these
charges to be false.
Confession Was Voluntarily.
The appearance of the man and the
statements he made copmletely ex
ploded these charges. Orchard said
that anything he may have said was
of his own free will and was moi
caused by threats or promises of i'm
munity. Orchard denied he had 8
personal grievance against the latt
Ex-Governor Steunenberg as has beer
alleged, but he refused to state the
nature of his alleged confession
There is much speculation as tx
what extent of his testimony will bt
admissible.

dinner of the Worcester Board OF
Trade, Leslie NJ Shaw, former secre7

Il do not wish to pose as prophet
he said, but do you suppose the
Pacific will always be peaceful
ocean? God grant that it may We
have not collier, a transport, pow
der or supplies to last for AZ hours,
Other nations have. There are many
ships in the merchant service OF
foreign countries which are under con-
tract to leave the path OF commerce
at moments notice to enter that
of war. We have not one such as
these.
,"Some day, as sure as Anglo-SaXon
blood runs red, there is to be an awful
war. There are two nations that can
contest for the Pacific and this war
will be settled at an awful cost.
