Boise July 2.-The Haywood tria
was resumed at 9:s.5, when Max Malicf
was called to the stand by the defense
Malich related conversation he had
with Orchard in Turkish bath estab-
lishment of which he said:
'.Orchard got to talking to me about
Steunenberg and called him vile names
He said if 1t had not been for him he
would have been millionaire. He
said he had to sell his interest in the
Hercules mine for $500 to get out OF
the country. l tcld him it did moi
make any difference how much money
he had, he would lose it all at faro
anyway"
Asked fif he had ever talked to Or
chard with regard to or assisted him in
making bombs for Judges Gabbert and
Goddard or anyone else, lMalich caused
a ripple Of laughter by replying:
II never saw boom in my life."
Malich was snelerman at Globe
vile atN the time of the strike in 1908.
Malich said he was an Austrian, as
were most of the men in the Globeville
smelters. He said he was introduced
to Harry Orchard as Tom Hogan by
Pinkerton Detective Gratias. Malich did
not know Gratias was detective at
this time, for he was working and was
acting as president OF the local smell
ter union. Witness said it was in
February 1905, that he met Orchard,
who was then living, with Steve Adams
and wife. Malich had become proprie-
tor OF a small hotel and bar at this
time.
Orchard testified it will be remem-
bered, that Malich had suggested to
him the blowing up of the hotel where
$50 non union miners were living and
had helped him steal 100 pounds of
dynamite from the Union Pacific pow
der house. Malich declared today that
the testimony was all false. He said
Orchard came to him one day and
said:
whats the matter with you folks
out here? The scabs are getting the
best Of you" Why don't you blow that
d--m hotel off the earth?" He said he
replied:
'.Tom, wouldn't stand for It under
any circumstances. If you do any
thing like that I'm going to denounce
you
After this witness said Orchard told
him he was joking. Malich said he
knew nothing about the taking of any
powder from the Union Pacific. Wit
ness was once member of the city
council Of Globeville He declared that
two attempts had heen made to burn
his place of business, once after Or
chard left Globeville.
Orchard had testified that Malich
had offered him 500 to blow up the
store of William Mcdonald, business
rival, and privately informed prosecu-
tion that Milach had burned himself
with "Pettibone dope" while preparing
TO burn his own store, and had later
burned his store with .sPettibone dope,
that Malich had agreed to help him
with an alibi when he killed Detective
Gregory. Malich declared all these
statements false and said he had re-
fused to have anything to do with any
crime proposed by Orchard. He denied
all knowledge Of the "Pettibone dope"
or its use in his store. Orchard had
told him that but for Steunenberg he
would be rich man and that he would
kill him.
McParIand's Brother Testifies.
Joe ,Mehlin. a former smelter man,
denied he had ever assisted Orchard or
Adams TO steal powder from the Tn
ion Pacific powder house or anywhere
else.
Did you ever have any conversation
with Orchard about blowing up q ho-
tel?''
.Yes: Orchard came to me one day
Ind asked me if could tell him how
the hotel was situated. had worked
there two years and told him what 1
knew. He then asked me if didn't
want to come along and help him blow
it up. told him no
Mehlin said he never talked with
Orchard as to any attempt on Cover
nor Peabody, or anybody else.
The next witness for the defense
aroused unusual interest. He was Ed
ward L. MCFARLAND, brother of the
Pinkerton detective, James MCFARLAND,
who has been in charge of securing
evidence for the state. Witness said
he was not a member Of the Western
Federation of Miners, but shoemaker
by trade. He was at work in shoe
shop at Victor the day Of the riot. and
was there following the Independence
depot explosion.
After the shooting started. McPar-
land said five men came to his shop
and said they wanted him. He was
marched between lines of soldiers to
a. train and taken 10 Colorado Springs
where he and several hundred miners
were transferred to the Santa Fe
road and taken to within a short dis
tance Of the Kansas line. The engi-
neer of the train refused to take the
men across the state line.
After we left the train three vol
leys We're fired over our heads and we
were told to never come back said
MCFARLAND. I'VE went into the fields
