Boise, June 11--ConJlnulnS HE
testimony on cross examination in the
Haywood case Monday afternoon.
Harry Orchard said that during the
Cripple Creek strike his wife drew
relief money regularly as a miners
wife. She also got other money than
the relief Orchard asserted.
Orchard said Haywood had prom
ised to buy him a ranch when he got
through in Colorado. He thought the
promise was made at the time he went
to Denver to bodyguard Meyer on his
trip to Ouray.
Didn't it make enough of an i'm
preston to fix the time indelibly upon
your mind?'
NO"
Had you ever had enough money
to buy ranch ??
yes"
When"
"In Canada
was this the money you collected
on the cheese factory you burned?"
Yes"
Then you had committed arson
before you burned Neville's saloon
near Independence? ?"
I'D done it, yes"
Orchard said he burned his cheese
factory near Brighton, Ont. He was
rs or % years of age at the time. His
first crime he believed was weighing
cheese short
Orchard has said earlier in his
animation that up to the time he left
Canada he had never been charged
with a serious crime.
Orchard was being questioned fur
Their about his experiences in Wyom-
ing when the luncheon recess until
1870 p. m. was ordered.
Orchard had testified previously that
he sent Pat Moran from Cheyenne to
Denver to get $500 from Pettibone.
Later Orchard said he had not met
Pat Moran until he went to Cheyenne.
Asked why he sent for more money,
Orchard said he had decided to go to
California instead of locating in
Wyoming. Orchard said there could be
no mistake about Pat Moran. He was
a saloon keeper and the only Moran
he knew in Cheyenne. Moran had
worked for Pettibone and the latter
had told Orchard to call on Moran if
he stopped in Cheyenne. Moran, ac-
cording to dispatches from Cheyenne
has denied he went on the errand for
Orchard. The witness said he gave
Moran SO for making the trip. The
man brought back the money in a
package and with it a letter from Pet
tbone.

Wis in Cheyenne. Davis. he said, had
been involved in the Occur D'Alenes

wanted to go along with Orchard and
the two Nevilles to Cody.
I'VE did not take him because he
was too we'll known said Orchard.
He wasn't any bigger criminal
than You were, was hep suggested
Richardson.
He was known to be a bigger one
at that time the witness calmly re-
piled.
The first man Orchard saw in Dem |
Yer was PettibOne- He told the latter
that he had spent his money in buying
some lots in Cody. He admitted he
had lied about the matter for he did |
not want to tell Pettibone he had lost |
the money gambling. Within a few
days he got $50 from Pettibone. He |
then met Haywood who wanted him |
to go to Bingham, Utah, to assassfnate |
