Counter Plot of Mine Owners.

Boise, June 12-Into the cross-eXam-
ination of Harry Orchard yesterday,
the counsel for Haywood repeatedly
threw the suggestion of a great coun-
ter-conspiracy formulated and carried
out by the enemies of the Western
Federation of Miners, and indicated
determination to construct their main
line of defense on that line.
They carried Orchard by slow steps
and through the minutest details from
the dynamiting of the Independence
station down to the attempt on the
life of Fred Bradley and his family,
and in addition to series of
Particular Attacks
on the credibility of the witness and
the general probability of his stories,
and preparing the way for their own
testimony in rebuttal they sought to
show that Orchard has a mania for
boasting of the commission of crimes
non-existant except in his own mind,
and that he is testifying under the
control and suggestion of Detective
MCFARLAND.
They began yesterday by making it
clear that as far as Orchard knew Of
his own knowledge Haywood, Meyer
and Pettibone had nothing to do with
the inspiration, planning and execu-
ton of the Vindicator explosion, and
that Haywood and Meyer had nothing
to do with the planning of the murder
of Detective Gregory. Into stronger
relief than had been the direct exam
ination they threw the utter depravity
of the witness.
Denied by Orchard.
Orchard denied that mine owners or
railway men had any part in the indie
pendence station outrage; denied that
he had mania fer confessing uncom-
mitted crimes and denied that he is
Under the influence of MCFARLAND.
Two more crimes were brought
home to Orchard yesterday. He con-
fessed that he burned a cheese factory
at Ontario to get $500 insurance and
he confessed that he began his life of
crime by selling cheese at short
weight.
Steve Adams is tenant Of the Ada
county Jail and a close cell neighbor
of Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone. He
is for the present non-communicative
and his custodians say that he is sui
len and will refuse to say a word
when he is called to tie stand.
