 David c. Coates, former Lieutenant- Governor of Colorado, formerly news paper man of Wallace, Idaho, was the first witness at the afternoon session. MT. Coates Is the man Orchard said suggested the Kidnapping of one of the Paulson children in Wallace, Paulson being a former partner of Orchard in the Hercules mine.
 Examined by Attorney Darrow. Coates said he had been a newspaper man practically all his life. He had set type, reported and published his own paper. He once belonged to the International Typographical Union. but was never in any way connected with the Western Federation of Miners. The witness was Lieutenant Governor of Colorado under Governor James B. Orman. He knew Haywood, Mover and Pettibone in Denver, and met Or chard under the name of Thomas Ho- gan in Pettibone's store the day the witness was leaving to make his home in Wallce.
 T was in & hurry when I met HoS gan," said Coates, land he walked down the street with me, saying he had once lived near Wallace in the Ceuer dAlenes. He said he once held an in- A~ a~. fNA Ms A August Paulson was one of his partners. He said he was known in the Ccuer d'Alenes as Harry Orchard and asked me to give Pau1son his regards and tell him he was coming to see him soon.
 Suggested Stealing Children.
 The next time I saw Orchard was six weeks after I arrived in Wallace. He met me at the bank and said he had come up to see some of his old friends. Two or three days later he came to my office and began to talk about looking for some easy money. He said he thought he might get some by stealing some of Panlson's children. I don't know that made any reply to him at all for did not think he could be in earnest.
 Some days later Orchard came in again. He said he had been up to Paulson's house to dinner and had played with the children. He again spoke of Kidnapping one of them, and wanted to know if he could have the money left with me. I said to him: Orchard. you're a fool, and I would be bigger fool to go Tn with you in any such crime: if you try to do anything like that around here I'll de- noufce you" He said. Oh you needn't get so excited about it. and went out. | thought at first he was serious. but the way he laughed and told me not to get excited made me think that per haps was was not after all.
 Did you ever suggest to Orchard in Denver or anywhere else the kid mapping of one of the Paulson chill dren or any other childT' asked MT. Darrow.
 .'No. sir, I did not; there could not be anything more repulsive to me than that"
 You have a family?" "Yes. sir; I have young daugh- ter."
 Coates said he saw Orchard several times before the man left Wallace in the fall of 1905.
 Orchard told him that the more he saw of his old friends the more bitter he became over having had to leave the district. He said he would ,'get even" with Steunenberg.
 q told him that the old reeling against him had aDout oieo out saio the witness "and he ought not to think about it; that there were plenty Of otn- CT opportunities in the Couer d'Alenes.
 The witness next told Of orchard having borrowed $500 from Paulson before leaving Wallace.
 Cross examined by Senator Borah' witness said he first met Pettioone' Mover and Haywood some time prior to his appointment as Lieutenant Gov ernor. They had been close friends for a long time. He was at one time Pres ident of the Colorado Federation of Labor and this had put him In close touch with the Western Federation Of Miners.
