and who is now the superintendent OF
the Pinkerton agency, with heao
quarters in Denver, was the detective
who Joined the Molly McGuires and Sc
cured the secrets of the organization.
Murderer Turns Author.
That Harry Orchard has written n
book, appeared in the course OF the
cross examination. Orchard, in reply
to Mr.. Richardson, said: 1T is the
true history of my life" Richardson
examined him carefully as to this book
and asked If it had not been suggested
or dictated by Mcfarland, who secured
Orchard S sworn confession. Orchard
fatty denies that MCFARLAND had sug-
gested or corrected the manuscript.
He admitted that he had read the manu-
script many times and that it was prac-
tically the same as the narrative he
told on the stand during the direct eX-
animation and which he is celebrating
under the fro of cross-eXamDation by
Attorney Richardson.
The cross examination of Orchard is
bringing out mass of detail that will
again be taken up in the redirect. 1t
would appear even as if the prosecu-
lion had purposely merely sketched
through the story OF Orchard s life in
order to allow the defense to bring out
certain features This is instanced in
the connection of Orchard and Moyer,
The president of the organization of
which Haywood is the secretary. Also
the intimacy between Orchard and
Pettibone, the third of tho prisoners
charged with the same crime under the
same indictment That this conncc-
tion will be brought out very clear and
that the selection of Orchard as the
bodyguard of Meyer at critical time,
when both of them travelled with
sawed:off pump guns and revolvers,
must be explained, is admitted
Adams on the Stand.
After Orchard, the State will prob
ably put Adams on the stand, Coun.
sci for the prosecution admit the pos
sibility that Adams will refuse to tes-
THY, but they point out that if he re-
fuses on the ground that it will in
criminate him. his appearance will have
served its purpose. His confession
cannot be used against him. But if
he admits making the confession and
repudlates IT, the sworn confession will
be placed before the jury for what it is
worth. There is some doubt as TO what
course Adams will follow. His wife,
who has been brought into the case as
having boarded Orchard and Simpkins,
but who has not been connected with
the commission of any Of the alleged
crimes, has been in Boise since the be-
ginning OF the trial. She is seen in the
courtroom every day in company with
Mrs. Pettlbone. They do not, however.
SIT inside the railing, Mrs. Mover is
still confined to the hospital in Boise
and is visited by the husband nearly
every day.
Freedom of Jury.
The jury is allowed much freedom.
Judge Wood gave orders TO the sheriff
that If the jury wished 10 60 out into
the country in the street cars tbey
should be allowed to do so, The Jury
house IS a pleasant place with it's rose
covered porches and green lawns, and
the Jnrymen, all apparently on very
friendly terms, receive visits from their
families, always Of course in the pres
ence or the bailiffs, and read the daily
papers which come 10 them these davs
badly mutllated, having been largely
taken up with the Haywood trial and
orchard S testimony, which is being
published at greater length throughout
the West than any event of recent
years.
