and then went back to St. Louis val
ley, and resumed writing insurance.
Three weeks later he saw Petit
bone and Haywood and reported fail
ure. Pettibone gave him money
which he got from Haywood. Was
then given pair of horses and
wagon, owned by Haywood, which
were brought from Cripple Creek for
him. Wanted them so he could get
into the country and kill Sherman
Bell. Haywood, he swore, told him
that Bell had broken up the Cripple
Creek organization. He and Hay
wood daily drove to Bells residence,
to try to shoot him, but although
they tried for three weeks they never
saw him in range of their shotguns.
They reported each day to Haywood
and the federation officers. During
this period Haywood furnished him
plenty of money. He continued to
try to get Bell until the latter part
of August, when Meyer told him he
did not want any more Jobs pulled
of in Denver. Previously, in June,
he swore he had made another at
tempt to kill Gabbard, planting a
bomb under a gate at the Gabbard
home. It was not exploded, and later
was found.
In Meyers office, in August, Or
chard swore the former told him he
had big job for him to pull off. He
told him he wanted him to go to Gold
field, Nevada, and kill John Neville,
who was running a saloon there.

wood and told them the time had
arrived when outside work must be
done. Haywood said Steunenberg
must be put out of the way. Or
chard declared four or five men were
detailed TO kill Steunenberg. but
failed; that Haywood told him af-
ter he got Steunenberg he would
have letters written from Patterson.

others. warning them they would
get the same dose. It was finally
agreed that Orchard should go to
Caldwell, look over the ground. and
decide how the job should be done.
Haywood told Orchard he had sent
Arthur Boston, Ed. Minister and
Steve Adams to Caldwell. and they
had all tried to kill Steunenberg. but
failed. At that time Orchard swore
Steve Adams was working with Simp
kins near Wallace, Idaho, trying to
get rid of men who had jumped
Simpkins' claims. Julius Steunen-
berg sat behind the witness during
the recital of the alleged plot to Kill
his father. He displayed consider
able emotion at times. Orchard con-
tinuing, declared Adams had told
him he had killed man named Iy-
Ter on Marble creek. who had jumped
Simpkin's claims. AS other claim
jumpers did not take warning ne
shot another man named Worley, ana
tried to kill the latter's companion
but he escaped. The defense here
objected TO permitting the evidence
being introduced. declaring the
claim-jumping cases had no bearing
on the alleged conspiracy or murder
of Steunenberg. Richardson declared
