 To Justice Luther Goddard himself. fell the task of telling the story of the
 finding and preservation of the bomb with which Orchard tried to kill him. His appearance added to the dramatic scenes and situations that have charac-t terized the trial. His testimony was clear and minutely circumstantial.
 The veteran Colorado jurist testified that the first information that he re- reived about the bomb came to him from Orchards confession, which was shown to him at Denver Feb. 13, 1906, by Detective Mcfarland. He at once returned to his home and in his gate discovered the screw eye which Or chard said he placed there. It was rusted and corroded by ten months exposure. The witness said he exam med the ground outside the gate where Orchard said he placed the bomb and found slight depression, with the soil packed around it.
 The bomb was dug up the next day by General Bulkeley Wells, who used a pocket knife to cut the soil away and raise the pine box containing the bomb. There was a small phial on top of the box, and attached to the rubber cork of the phial was piece of rusted wire
 The bomb and its attachment were at once taken to the office of the Pin kerton detectives and carefully sealed In wrapping paper and envelopes that were signed by half dozen witnesses, Including Justice Goddard, and after that they were placed in vault, to the door of which seals, including that of a notary public, were attached. There they rested until the following May p, when, believing the Haywood case was to come to trial, they were removed in the presence of the same witnesses, md all save three of the forty sticks of giant powder contained in the bomb were exploded.
 Mrs. Seward, at whose house in San Francisco Harry Orchard lived during part of the time he was conducting his operations against Fred Bradley, gave testimony strongly corroborative of Or chard's account of his acts and expert ances in San Francisco. Besides con irming Orchards recital as to time, and locations. she testified that she found lead and wood shavings In Orchards room and a screw eye, string and bottle attached to the closet door where Orchard had been expert. menting. She said her lodger had very heavy suit case and that she thought that he was an inventor.
 John l.. Stearns, agent at Denver for he Mutual Life Insurance company, confirmed the story Orchard told about securing employment as solicitor for he company before he went to Canyon City to kill former Governor Peabody md produced letters of recommenda- ion which Orchard furnished in re- 'ponse to his request.
