The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-06-11

Boise. Idaho, June 11.-Continuing
the cross examination of Harry Orcn
ard today, the defense in the case oi
William ID. Haywood attacked the
testimony of the witness as to dyna-
miting the home of Fred Bradley OF
San Francisco, and besides endeavor-
ing to show discrepancies and impro
liabilities in it sought to make it ap
pear that it had in part beea inspired
by Detective McPharland.
There was first an effort to show
that Orchard had never seen or heard
of the Japanese servant who cleaned
the porch at Linforth Flats the morn
ing Bradley was blown up until Nc
Pharlald told Orchard about him. Or
chard denied this and swore he saw
the Japanese and had to wait for the
japanese TO leave before he placed
the bomb.
The defense then endeavored to
diScredit the story of the purchase of
dynamite from the Judson Powder
Company and the entire claim that a
bomb was used by showing that the
walls of the Linforth building were
blown outward. and that Bradley had
been blown into the street Attorney
Richardson demanded that the wit
ness explain how the explosion had
these effects.
Orchard said that he could not ex-
plain, but expressed the opinion that
Bradley was standing sideways to the
bomb and the explosion followed the
line of least resistance and carried
him into the street. At the request
of the defense Orchard stood before
the jury and drew a diagram of the
entrance to the Linforth flats.
BY noon today Orchard under cross
examination had described in detail
the explosion at the Bradley resi-
jence in San Francisco. an. was Civ
ing particulars of attacks in Denver
to assassinate Governor Peabody and
Supreme Court Judge Gabbert of Col
orado in December, 1904.
Orchard told of returning to Denver
from San Francisco. saying he dis
guised himself as a soldier and wore
glasses.
Don't you know soldiers never
wear glasses?' asked Richardson.
Didn't know it, no. said the wit
ness.
Then Attorney Hawley for the state
chimed in: you forget Roosevelt at
San Juan, Mr.. Richardson.
He wasn't a soldier" shouted Ri
chardson, and He wasn't at San
Juan" declared Nugent of the defend
ants counsel.
For the first time since the cross
examination began, Orchard this
morning showed decided emotion. 1t
was when Richardson put the witness
on the rack for his neglect of his
two deserted wives. Orchard insisted
that Haywood and Pettibone promis-
ed TO care for his Cripple Creek wife,
but failed to do so. When he admit
ted that he knew his first wife had
worked at cheese making for a living,
his lower lip quivered. he swallowed
hard on the lump in his throat, his
answers were short and his voice very
husky Richardson continued the
grilling for fifteen minutes, but failed
to break down the witness
What Will Adams Testify7
Boise, Idaho, June 11.-There is
much speculation as to what Steve
Adams will testify when placed on
the stand as a witness for the state
against w. ID. Haywood. Adams is
said to be sullen and unlikely to an
swer any questions. 1t is said that
after making the confession which he
subsequently repudiated he went to
Colorado with General Bulkeley
Wells and disclosed evidence, includ-
ing skeletons that cleared up the
mysteries of several disappearances.
He was taken to Telluride, it Is said,
where he pointed out the spot where
he stood to fire the shot that killed
Arthur Collins, manager of the Snug
gler Union mine The weapon used
was found, it is said, where he had
secreted 1t. Counsel for the prosecu-
ton say they are not depending upon
Adams to repeat his confession. but
nave without his testimony sufficient
corroborative testimony.
II Is said that should Adams be ac-
quilted of the murder for which he
Is yet to stand trial in this state, the
Colorado authorities will make requi-
sition for him and try him on the |
charge OF numbering Collins.
