ORCHARD CONTINUES TO
TELL OF HIS CRIMES
Defense Carries Cross Examination Down
To Actual Murder Of ex-GOv. Steunen-
berg-Dark Plot To Kidnap the
PaulsOn Children.

Boise, Idaho, June 12.-The defense
today carried the cross-examination of
Harry orchard down to the actual crime
charged against William d. Haywood
the murder of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg- as it progressed as
sailed the testimony and the theory of
the state resting upon it. The Steunen-
berg crime was reached at midday and
counsel for the defense directed their
efforts to attempt to cloud the earlier
purposes and movements of Orchard
with uncertainty and indefniteness;t then
they emphasized the abandonment of all
efforts to kill after Orchard first traced
Steunenberg to his hotel in Boise and
with skeleton key gained entrance to
the very room in which the governor
was living. Here the cross-examination
was delayed q moment to prove that
Orchard twice wrote and once tele-
phoned to Bill Eesterly, of Silver City,
TO urge him to come and join in the
crime, and the direct implication was
that Orchard was endeavoring to in
veigle another Federation man into a
crime which would bring discredit and
dishonor to the organization.
Then the Steunenberg crime was tenn
porarily thrust into the background and
the witness was carried over his long
Journey into North Idaho, and his crimes
there, including the dark plot to kdnap
and hold for ransom the Paulson child
rem, were forcefully emphasized. Or
chard swore that David Coates, former
lieutenant governor Of Colorado. and
publisher at Wallace, Idaho, first sug-
gested the kidnapping to Pettibone and
himself at Denver, Paulson was once
a poor miner, but had made a fortune
In the Hercules mine, in which Orchard
held an interest when the property was
valueless. It was believed that if his
children were stolen he would ''come
through" with $50, 900 or $50, 900 ran
som. Orchard said when he went into
North Idaho he got Jack Simpkins to
come In on the plot, and together they
went to Coates to renew the scheme.
Coates, who was In court, was asked to
stand up for Identification, and facing
him, Orchard said it was he. Orchard
was then asked if he had not himself
proposed the crime to Coates, who i'm
mediately rebuffed him, and if Jack
Simpkins had not warned Paulson the
minute he heard of the plot? Orchard
denied both suggestions, reiterating
his first story, and insisted that Coates
consented to stay in the plot and handle
the money they hoped to get out Of
Paulson.
Then the defense showed the witness
in the commission of series of mean
crimes, reduced to poverty, in which he
had to resort to pawnshop borrowing
and theft to live for long period.

RAILROAD HEAVY LOSER
DY SLIDE AT IN6LESIDE
hundred Thousand Dollars Said to Be
Low Estimate of Less, Direct and
Indirect, That VIII Result.

Low Estimate of Less, Direct and
Indirect, That VIII Result.
The Bluefeld Telegraph of June 18th.
says:
1t was stated yesterday, by men in a
position to know whereof they spoke.
that one hundred thousand dollars would
be low estimate of the loss, direct and
indirect, that will be sustained by the
Norfolk and Western Railway Company
as result of the big slide just east of
Ingleside, which occurred about 2:3O
O'Clock Tuesday morning, or rather
started about that time, as there have
been lesser slides since. The trouble, as
stated in the Daily Telegraph of yester-
day, occurred at big cut, which was
completely filed, the tracks being COW
cred to depth of fifteen feet for dis
tance of not less than seventy feet. At
this point the roadbed of the Tidewater,
or Virginian, railway is high up on the
side of the mountain, Immediately
above the Norfolk and Western tracks.
and it was the loose dirt resulting from
the grade work on the Tidewater that
slid down into the cut. Two steam
shovels at either end of the cut are
working night and day trying to clear
the tracks, and a force of three hun
dred men, directed by General Superin-
tendent Needles, is assisting in the
work, yet progress is slow, the mud be-
ing too soft and oozy to handle expedi-
tiously, that there is no hope of getting
trains through before this afternoon.
Even then it is not believed that they
will pass through the cut.
1t is understood to be the intention of
the officials to build temporary track
around the slide, probably following the
river bank, and to do this it will be nee
essary to fill up a hollow, or ravine,
fifty feet across. Passengers, mail and
express are still being transferred.
In the meantime, the Bluefield yard
threatens to become badly congested.
Yesterday was probably the first day in
the history of the road for years that
there was absolutely no movement of
freight east from Bluefield.
1t has been suggested by some that
the Norfolk and Western might sue the
Virginian Railway Company for dam
ages, but whether or not the officials of
the former road contemplate any such
action could not be learned last night.
1t is said that the slide at Ingleside is
the first trouble that the Norfolk and
Western has ever had with its tracks at
this particular snot

Union workman in NOnunion shop
Can Use II.
After numerous postponements for one
reason and another hearing was held
yesterday before a jury In Justice Greene $
court In the case in which Anton Dund-
gard, a tailor. was charged with the un-
lawful use Of the union label The jury,
composed, Of r. c. Riker, l.. NJ Shubert,
Theodore guitar. William Schnorr. w, J..
Leverett and F. NJ williams. after a few
minutes elaboration, found that Lund-
gard was not guilty.
The case had attracted more than or
binary attention from the fact that It was
the first Of the kind to be brought in this
city. Lundgard made a suit OF clothes
for C. Banther, manager OF the New the
alter, and when Banther later sent the
suit to another tailor to have some altera-
lions made. the union label was found
attached 10 the clothes. Knowing that the
suit emanated from the shop Of Lundgard,
who was not a member Of the tailor's union
the tailor to whom the clothes were sent
for alteration brought the matter before
the union, with the result that a complaint
was filed several months ago against Bund-
gard
I.undgard denied knowledge Of the fact
that the union label had been attached
to the suit, and II developed that the tailor
in Dundgard's employ who worked on the
suit was a member Of the union, and il
was alleged that he was responsible for at
taching the union label. Assistant County
Attorney Ross conducted the case for the
state. while Lundgard was defended by
City Solicitor Klmball.

Fined for AssauItine Conductor.

In police court yesterday morning Judge
Snyder heard the case against Jesse. Har-
yey and Leonard James, the three broth
ers. who with Arthur Bomar were charged
with assaulting Motor Conductor Fred NJ.
Bishop on an Omaha car last Saturday
night. Leonard was discharged, the evil
dence showing he did not take part in the
assault, while Jesse and Harvey James
were each fined $50 and costs.
Seven passengers on the car, who we're
eve witnesses to the assault, testified for
the prosecution, but there was a difference
of opinion among them as to which one,
James or Harvey struck the first blow.
Jesse James went on the stand and APP
peared willing to take all the blame for
the assault, but the court was not inclined
to see it that way.
The trouble, It appears, was over a suit
case in the aisle of the car which seemed
to bother Jesse James and caused him to
use several cuss words. When Conductor
Bishop demonstrated against the use of
such language, Jesse and his brother.
Harvey, It was sAid, sailed in and beat
the conductor In commenting on the case
Judge Snyder said the assault amounted
TO a riot and the assault on the conductor
was apparently without the slightest provo
cation.
Jesse and Harvey James were unable to
pay the fines and were committed to the
county jail, their appeal bonds being
placed at 500 each. Bomar, who was ar
rested Saturday night after the assault,
but released on his own reeognizance, be-
