than by Orchard s word it has not been

caused by bomb.
The casing of the so-called Peabody

shoot her father. and Orchard S story
of his Journey to Canon City 10 kill Tor

William Vaughn, who was Orchard S
travelling companion. Orchard went to
Canon City ostensibly as an insurance

The discovery of the Goddard bomb
has been established, but the earlier
history Of the bomb and all of the plot
centering around il rest on the testl-
mony of Orchard Reason for animus
against Goddard and Gabbert has been
shown by decisions adverse to Moyer
and the labor interests in Colorado.
Orchard S story of the first descent

countered and attempted to kill
Orchard S testimony as 10 the lnde-

Two general circumstances that have

plosion Orchard Joined Meyer as a
bodyguard and accompanied him on .
trip TO southern Colorado, and the fact
that Orchard spent the month of Au'
gust, 1905, as n guest of Pettibone at
the latter s home IN Denver,
The chief corroborstion of Orchard s
testimony has been as to things he did
and the time and manner of their do

Course of the Defense.
Counsel for Haywood will not outline
their defense until Monday morning,
but their course during cross-examina,
ton, particularly when they laid the
foundation for their impeachment of
Orchard, and the personality of many
of the witnesses they have summoned
clear. 1t is manifest that they will en-
deavor 10 show that Orchard killeu
Steunenberg to be revenged for the loss
of the Hercules mine and several Wit
nesses will swear that they heard Or
chard tell the Hercules tale end VOW
that he would kill Steunenberg. They
will probably show also that Jack
Simpkins was prisoner in the Z" Bull
pen where negro thrust a bayonet
into his chest. circumstances thai gave
tho two common cause against Stem
enberg,
There will likely he showing that all
of the inancial relations of Haywood
and Simpkins came in the natural and
regular course of conducting the bust
ness affairs of the federation In this
connection, as well rs to the grants ii
money and food TO Orchard and mis- wife
and Steve Adams, the books and records
of the federation will probably be pro
duced.
Orchard s testimony as 10 the alleged
intimacy of himself and the lederati
leaders, and his story of. the events AT
Cripple Creek. extending from he FIRST
attempt at the indicator down Ia The
destruction Of the Independence station.
Will probably he directly controverted
by practically all the men named by
him. Many of them are now here, and
they are expected TO take the stand and
swear that he periured himself There
Will also be general showing that the
movements. acts and attitudes Of Hay
wood, Moyer and Pettibene during 1908,
1904 and 1905 were largely at variance
and strongly inconsistent with the re-
oital of Orchard,
VIII Contradict Bradley Story.
The Bradley story will be subjected
to severe attack, and in this connec-
Ilon the discrediting testimony of Brad
ley himself will be used There exists
a strong showing that Bradley's home
was blown up by gas explosion and
not by bomb, and this will be used
t' al Possiple advantage.
Orchard s story about the letters con.
nected with the alleged plan TO deceive
his wife will in all probability be di-
rectly controverted and generally dis
credited. There may be showing that
Orchard did 90 To Alaska Marion
Moore will be witness for the defense,
and IL is understood that he will direct.
" deny that he carried Orchard 5 letter
to Alaska. The legal aid extended to
Orchard will be explained by general
showing that it has ever been the Gus.
tom OF the federation to provide coun-
sci for its members
1t is expected that Haywood will1 go
to the stand and that there will also be
strong showing as TO his chs racter.
The defense has upward Of $50 wit
neses, and ii is estimated that it will
take from three weeks TO month TO
present all Of its testimony.
