AZ tho close OF orchards cross-eX-

hand for redirect questioning. Then
will come tho renewed cross-cXaminh-
ton. 1t seems hardly possible that
he will be dismissed before tho end
of next week. He may be recalled
afterwards rs the case develops.
The warden at the penitentiary says
that Orchard shows no sign of nervous
ness or strain He eats well and speaks
without particular emotion of the
events Of the day.
The Pathetic Side
One Of the interesting features Of
TO- QnN 8 CNH1llllHtlOIi WAS LiS .OSNS'|tI
opment of the fact that Orchard aids
his first wife, whom he deserted in
Canada IN 1895 to run away With an
other mans wife. He testified that he
had sold locket and chain and some
Of the property for something like
f1i5, the greater part OF which lie had
sent to his wife. This property. aside
from the locRet and chain, consisted of
fishing rod, a gun and revolver. |
together with some other little things. |
He said that the warden had disposed
of these for him, with the understands
Ing that the person buying them could
have them after the trial.
Orchard said that the warden told
him that lie had received part Of this
money from Governor Goodng. 1t is
possible that the Governor may be
called ms witness to explain the
transaction.
Met Him ut Headquarters.
Orchard said to-day that he had not
become acquainted with Pettibone until
1904, the early part Of the year. He
had roomed over Pettibonc's store for
q while.
Wasn't it because of that fact that
you met hnl?" demanded Attorney
Richardson.
mo: met him at headquarters"
the witness replied.
Richardson next went into tho at
tempts made upon the life of Governor
Peabody, Of Colorado. He wanted to
know why Orchard had gone to Cripple
Creek to get Steve Adams to help him
assassnate the Governor
'Was 1t because he was federation
man?" he asked.
NO." replied Orchard, ut was be-
cause wanted a partner
ibid you know Adams very well?"
8 mot so very we'll"
A Counter Plot, Perhaps.
Orchard constantly corrected Rich
ardson as to differences lie would draw
from his answers and rs to the attor-
1ey's recollection Of his direct testi-
tnony.

tation with Mr.. Richardson, suggest

Adams was a federation man is tal1er
RS another Indication that the defens,
will contend that Orchp1N was in tn
pmploy Of the Mine Owfcrs' Assoca
ZION, and that he tried to involve tn

81 1t. is certain the defense will CLAIM
there was a counter plot on the par
Of the mine owners to break up tn,
miners union by having lawless act
attributed to 1t.
Went Over the Testimony.
Richardson went over Orchard
testimony on direct examination al
most word for word with the witness
each question In direct evidence sug
costing five to twenty interrogations il
the cross-examination. Orchard adhere,
10 every one Of his first statements, an,
elaborated them under the hail O
questions from the defense.
Mr.. Richardson devoted much tim
to fixing places and dates in tho wit
foundation for contradictory evidenc.
when the defense has It's innings.
"Outside of your assassinations," Mr.
Richardson asked the witness, "die
you have any little enterprises on tn,
6ide?"
Orchard said he gambled some witt
ton. but ldtt of,aner than he won.
"Didn't:'you ever hold anybody up OF
the street and take their money ava.
from them?'
mo. didn't"
Did Not Know Gregory.
Asked about the assassina ton o
Lyle Gregory in Denver. Orchard sal
he had never known Gregory per
sonally, and had no grudge Of an
sort against him.
What was the reason given You 70
the killing of Gregor%?' demande
Richardson.
Because of his opposition to the fed
Grafton and the coal miners" the wit
ness replied.
But the federation had nothing /
do with the coal miners, did it?'

"And there was not a coal strike on!

"But the coal miners belonged to NJ
