HAU MADE NO CONFESSION
News of His Wife's Suicide in
Switzerland Broken to Ac-
cused Murderer.

Karlsruhe Germany, June S.-karl
Hau, professor of law at the George
Washington university Washington, D.
c., who is in prison here, charged with
the murder of his mother-in-law, Frau
MolitoT, was visited by the governor OF
the prison today and informed that his
wife had committed suicide by drown
ing in a lake near Pfaeffikon, Switzer-
land The governor had quite a lengthy
ton with the professor, which
led to a report that he had confessed
that he had murdered his Wife's mother
The states attorney subsequently de-
MED that Hau had confessed.
Mrs. Hau came to Karlsruhe two
days ago and had long talk with her
husband. She left in a state of de-
preston and went back to Pfaeffikon.
On arriving there Mrs. Hau went to a
bathing establishment on the small lake
and requested to be given a separate
dressing room. The attendants later
saw her swimming out in the lake, but
soon afterward they observed that she
was no longer moving. A boatman
brought the body ashore. A long fare
well letter was found in her clothing,
in which she declared it was impossible
for her longer to bear the sorrow of liv-
ing apart from her husband, notWith-
standing the charge against him.

ARGUMENT IN REBATE CASE
Lawyers for the Railroad Companies
Making Strenuous Efforts for
Their Clients,

st. Paul, June S-"There are not enough
United States judges appointed to try the
cases that might come up under the Ell
kins law" said w. r. Begg, general cOun-
sci for the Great Northern railroad in his
closing argument before the United States
circuit court of appeals this afternoon in
the Great Northern rebate case.
Mr.. Begg followed the lines argued by
other attorneys, cOntending that the Hep
burn act of 1865 repeats the Elkins law and
that the former can only be made to APP
ply to breaches of the law subsequent to
it's passage The rebates for which the
fines were imposed in the lower court
were given previous to the enactment OF
the Hepburn law.
Just before the case closed, Judge Van
devanter inquired if any of the attorneys
had investigated the debate on the floor
of congress TO, determine what was the
intent of congress. None of the attOr-
neys had done this.
TT is probable" said Judge Thomas
Wilson of the Omaha road, that the
matter was threshed out in committee
and did not come up on the floor of con-
gress."
The court took the case under advise

CAVE-Ih At ANNIE LAURIE
Nine Men Entombed Eight Hours and
All Rescued AliVe-Though Some
Were Badly Bruised.

Richfield, June S-A cavern in the An
ME Laurie mine at Kimberly Gold noun
tain entombed nine men and a mule for
about sixteen hours from 4 o clock Tues
day afternoon to s o'clock Wednesday
morning. The men that were entOmbed
were the regular shift miners, one being
a car man. The cavern occurred just
after a string of cars had gone into the
face of the tunnel where the men were
at work, and it was about an hour be-
fore the accident was known outside. As
soon as it was discovered an alarm was
given and large force OF men was put
to work to rescue the entOmbed men.
Short shifts were employed so as to make
as rapid progress as possible. After a
few hours work it was found that some
of the men were alive, and the reScuers
continued their efforts to release them
from their Imprisonment. 1t was GER
tainly a remarkable discovery TO find
them all alive. although some of them
were badly injured from the falling rock
and dirt and had suffered great deal
during their entOmbment from their in
juries.
The cave-in was caused from loose
ground on account of the melting SHOWS
and heavy rains which had saturated the
ground. which makes it ready to sliI
when the least opportunity will afford
it. The mine has now been cleared and
the regular shifts are at work as though
nothing had happened, but the manage
ment is using every precaution to pre-
vent other accidents.
A lot of feeling is being developed in
this city over the proposed reunion OF
the Indian war veterans to be held in
this city some time during the summer
The committee which selected Nephi as
the place for the annual eneampment has
served notice on the Richfield post OF
veterans to at once begin to head off
the encampment at Richfieid or they
would consider 1t a breach of faith, as ii
would seriously detract from the success
of the Nephi gathering and it was also
intimated that if Richfield did not with
draw their county reunion the Nephi en-
campment would certainly be abandoned
But it may be said that the matter has
gone too far. as the Richfield post OF
veterans cannot change the sentiment
and movement for a county reunion
The proposition is being taken hold Of by
the citizens, and it is the intention to
hold the local reunion at a time which
will not interfere with the annual en-
campment at Nephi The local post OF
this city will hold a meeting this aft
ernoon, having been called for the pur-
pose of considering the general commit
tees request of trying to call off the
county reunion at Richfield which will
not be done. The date for the Nephi en-
campment will not be set until after they
see what the local Richfield post is GO
ing to do.

BLOOD CLASH
BETWEEN RACES
Three Negroes Killed and Four
Whites Wounded Near
Yazoo City, Miss.

Memphis, Tenn, June S.-A special to
the Commercial Appeal from Yazoo City,
Miss, says:
As a result of a clash between negroes
and whites near here late today, three
negroes are dead and two other seriously
whipped and four white men were
wounded The trouble originated when
T D. Kirk, a plantation owner, ap-
preached a group of negro tenants to
instruct them relative to some field work.
One of them, Abe Johnson, cursed Kirk
who, because of the number of his an
tagonists, retreated toward his house to
secure a weapon. Johnson and his three
sons proceeded to their cabin on a like
mission and before Kirk reached his
house he was oyertaken and fired on
and wounded by one of the younger
negroes
Pitched Battle Fought.
Two of Kinks brothers and J. T. Cheat
ham ran to his assistance and were also
wounded They returned the fire, kill
ing Green johnson.
The Johnsons then barricaded them
selves in their cabin and defied arrest
The house was surrounded and protec-
ton offered them should they surrender,
On their refusal the building was at
tackled, two of the negroes killed and
two others severely whipped Late adj
vices state that no further trouble Is
anticipated. The Kirk brothers and
Cheatham, while their wounds are severe,
it is believed will recover.

DEFENSE TRYING TO SHOW PLOT ON
PART OF MINE OWNERS ASSOCIATION

Before court adjourned yesterday. Or
chard had been questioned by the attor-
heys Tor the defense concerning his life
narrative down to the early part of the
year 1904, when the witness had gone
from Denver to Ouray Colo, with
Charles III. Meyer, then as now, presi-
dent OF the Western Federation of Mi
ners. Meyer had been afraid of attack
from the thugs of the mine owners and
had taken Orchard along as body guard,
The Haywood family group, which now
numbers seven, was in court as usual
when today's proceedings began.
Orchard was brought in as usual by a
squad of deputies and detectives. His
coming and going during the last two
days has not created the stir in the court
room which was so striking the first
days he was on the stand.
Orchard said today that he had not
become acquainted with Pettibone until
1904-the early part of the year He had
roomed over Petitioners store for a while.
Wasn't it because of that fact that
you met him?' demanded Attorney Rich
ardson.
mo, 1 met him at headquarters, the
witness replied.
Why He Got Steve Adams.
Richardson next went into the attempts
made upon the life of Governor Peabody
of Colorado. He wanted to know why
Orchard had gone to Cripple Creek to
get Steve Adams to help him assassinate
the governor.
Was it because he was a federation
man." he asked.
"No," replied Orchard, ut was because
/ wanted a partner.
Did you know Adams very well?"
Not so very we'll.
Orchard constantly corrected Richard
son as to differences he would draw from
his answers and as TO the attorneys rec
objection Of his direct testimony.
Haywood was repeatedly in consultation
with Mr. Richardson, suggesting ques-
tions and giving correct dates.
Purpose of Examination.
The tack taken by the defendants at
torney in asking Orchard if ne wanted
Adams to help him in the assassination
of Governor Peabody because Adams was
a federation man is taken as another in
dicatiOn that the defense will contend
that Orchard was in the employ of the
Mine Owners association and that he
tried to involve the federation or a fede-
ration man in all of his crimes. 1t is
certain the defense will claim there was
p plot on the part of the mine owners to
break up the miners union by having
lawless acts attributed to il.
Richardson went over Orchards testi-
mony on direct-examination almost word
for word with the witness. each question
in direct evidence suggesting from five
TO twenty interrogatiOns in the cross-ex-
animation. Orchard adhered to every one
OF his first statements and elaborated
them under the hail of questions from
the defense. Mr. Richardson devoted
much time to fixing places and dates in
the witness story. evidently laying the
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-06-09

foundation for contradictory evidence
when the defense has its innings.
Outside of your assassinations," Mr..
Richardson asked the witness, did you
have any little enterprise on the side?"
Orchard said he gambied some with the
money he drew from the federation, but
lost oftener than he won.
Didn't you ever hold anybody up on
the street and take their money away
from them?"
mo. did not"
Assassination of Gregory.
Asked about the assassination of Lyle
Gregory in Denver, Orchard said he had
never known Gregory personally and had
no grudge of any sort against him.
What was the reason given you for
killing Gregory" demanded Richardson.
Because of his opposition to the fed
Grafton and the coal miners" the witness
replied.
But the federation had nothing to do
with the coal miners, did it?'
Il believe not"
And there was no coal strike on?''
Yes, 1 believe there was"
But the coal miners belonged to Mr.,
MitchelfS organization"
Yes; 1 believe Mitchell was president.
Orchard said Gregory had been a dep
uty of the coal operators. He had also
been a detective at Idaho Springs during
a strike the federation was conducting
there.
Proposed by Pettibone.
The witness said Pettibone had report
ed the proposed assassination of Gregory
to the executive board of the Western
Federation of Miners and had said the
board thought it would be a good thing.
Asked the members of the executive
board at this time, Orchard gave the
names of Jack Simpkins, James Kirwan,
r. G. COakley and Jack Williams.
Orchard said il was not Bob Meldrim of
Telluride, who was drinking with Gregory
the night of his assassination, but man
named Mildran, whose first name the wit
ness did not remember.
Asked why he shot Gregory three times
with his sawed-off shotgun, Orchard re-
piled cOoiy:
He didn't go down till the third shot,
You kept pumping till he did go
down.
yes, there were five or six shots in the
gun"
Gregory called out something when he
was shot the first time. but Orchard said
he could not hear what it was.
A SaIaried Assassin.
Orchard said he got 800 from Pettibone
a day or two after GregOry's death.
WAS this specifically for the Gregory
matter or were you general salaried
officer for killing peOple?" asked Rich
ardson.
Il drew money whenever I needed il"
you didn't care what you did to get
money, so long as it wasn't work, did
you?"
81 didn't work much"
Orchard said there was no fixed sched-
