WITNESSES ON GRILL
Testimony for Haywood Rid
died by Senator BOrah.
MINERS MAGAZINE IS READ
Big Bill Davis. President of n Grip
pie Creek Union, Fares Badly In
House Woman Proves Acceptable
Witness Also for Prosecution.

Boise. Idaho, June 26.-The defense in
the Haywood murder trial got two stiff
raps az the hands Of the prosecution to-
day. Several Of its witnesses. called to
testify that they had heard Orchard make
threats against the life Of Steunenberg,
on personal grounds, went up against a
pretty savage line Of CrOss-examination.
The value Of one Of them as a witness
for the defense was absolutely destroyed,
while another gave IN information quite
as useful TO the State as to the defense.
Still a third, though he stood stanchly on
many Statements he had made. went
badly TO pieces on one point.
Those who attended this afternoon
session Of court had chance to hear one
Of the ablest exhibitors Of the ungentle
art Of cross-examination that any big case
OF recent years has afforded.
Big Bill Davis. formerly president Of
Altman Union, No. Il. at Cripple Creek,
and whom Orchard has accused OF hiring
him to blow up the indicator Mine IN
1853, was the subject Of the operation, and
Senator Borah was the operator. The
discrimination dealt partly with events
IN Gem, Idaho on the day when a train
load Of armed miners went through Gem
10 Wardner to blow up the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mines. Senator BOTah Is
pretty well loaded with information about
that event having prosecuted Pail Corco-
ran for the murder Of a man killed on
that day, and before he was through with
Davis 1t was perfectly clear TO every
body in court that the witness was not
telling all he knew about what happened
on that day
Notable Array of Witnesses.
II was rather a notable array Of wit
nesses that the defense marched up TO
the firing line The first was a fat
woman Of middle age, whom it IS diff
cult 10 describe She is a lady who said
she used TO keep a roomlng-house at
Cripple Creek.
Next up was an old soldier. who adj
mitted before he left the stand that he
had been twice confined in an insane
asylum. He was followed by John N.
O'Neill, the editor Of the Miners Maya
zine The Miners Magazine is the Off
Cial organ Of the Western Federation Of
Miners.
Big Bill Davis occupied the witness
chair all the afternoon, and Il got pretty
warm sometimes. Before Editor O'Neil.
Of the Miners Magazine, had retired, Sen
ator Borah had succeeded, by the simple
process Of asking O'Neill IL ne wrote
some Of the articles in the magazine. in
getting into evidence some extracts about
Steunenberg from the Miners Magazine.
which the court had excluded on direct
evidence.
Big Bill Davis was the last witness Of
the day. The trial viii go on again to-
morrow morning.
