Bunker Hill and Sullivan concentrators
at Wardner.
Harry Orchard swore that William F.
Davis, known among his fellows as big
Bill' Davis, led the mob.
Davis himself was sowrn to having
been elsewhere and positively denied any
connection with the crime.
Dewey swore today that not only did
big Bill accompany the mob to Ward

and ammunition to the union men gath
cred in the union hall at Burke before
they went to Wardner.
With eyes downcast and fingers nerv-
ously picking at the braidng around the
rim of a gray sombrero, Dewey told it
all. Repeatedly he was requested to
raise his voice, and with quick glance
at counsel he complied, only to sink back
into an almost inaudible tone. Under the
provocation of sneering cross examina-
| tion by T. F. Richardson. he rallied and
even became combative, but throughout
the recital he gave evidence of a certain
remorSe.

traitor.
Ten witnesses in rebuttal were exam

dsprove statements as to Orchards
movements in northern Idaho and as to
the disposal of his interests in the Her

One of the most interesting of the wit
nesses was August Paulsen, who was at
one time a partner of Orchard in the
Hercules mine. Orchard swore that he
planned to kidnap Paulsen's children and
extort a ransom of $4,000. Paulsen was
called at this time to show that Orchard
disposed of his interest in the mine some
time before he left the state. Paulsen
