2 Orchard Gives Details ot¥ Moycr *•* and Easterly told me that the blowing up of the mine was a fine piece of work, and they" "were much pleased with it Haywood said he wopld have to clean those fel lows up at Cripple.Creek. "Moyer gave me $20 and Haywood later paid me $300 for blowing up the mine. They both told me I could not go too fierce to suit them — to go ahead and blow up anything — to get some of the soldiers." — Harry Orchard. he could fix his gase on Orchard unin terruptedly, but so placed that only those very near his chair could see his face.- Mrs. Haywood eat beside her husband all day. but her daughters did not come to court until afternoon. Hay wood's mother, Mrs. Crothers, and his lalf sister. Miss Crotbers, sat near his *v!fe. Mrs. Crothers is a pleasant look ing, epeetacled old lady, whose black hair is strongly tinged with gray. Mrs. Steve Adams and Mrs. Pettibone, with Mrs. Haywood'a sister, were in court a.ll day and seemed especially amused at those parts of Orchard's story which involved Adams and Pettibone. When ever . Orchard told of Adams being drunk, as he did several ! times, Mrs. Adams smiled, as If It were a joke. "When court opened at 9 o'clock Sena- Tor Borah went on with the line of proof, that he waa developing yester day afternoon and summoned several fcotel keepers to prove that Orchard and Jack Simpklns had been together p.t Caldwelland other places near there in the fall of 1905 before the Steunen berg murder. ORCHARD BROUGHT IX " Senator Borah remarked casually, as if It were a matter of no particular Interest, "The- next witness will be here in a few minutes." Of course that was Orchard. A rustle went through t he courtroom at the announcement and there was a general shifting of seats to get down as near the front as pos sible. V^V' ; : : 't :"''\u25a0'\u25a0 Orchard had been kept over night at Hawley's office under guard of deputy sheriff s. -penitentiary guards and detec tives. They had not expected the sum mons-for him so soon, and it was about 3 0 minutes after Borah's announcement when the party reached the courthouse, having been brought up In a carriage surrounded by guards. Orchard was brought up from the sheriff's office by the back stairs, especially built for this trial. The crowd had been craning necks to get a better look at the door and twisting from the main entrance to the side door, uncertain at which Orchard would appear. "Call Herry Orchard," said Senator Borah. The side door opened and Ras Beemer, the gigantic deputy sheriff who has charge of the prisoners at the jail, entered, followed closely by Orchard. . bealnd whom were four guards and :.detectives. Instantly there was . a \u25a0movement /in the back part of the courtroom. IX FEAR OF ATTACK There. has been so much talk of pos sible attempt* to do harm to " Orchard when lie should come on the.w itness * land that the guards and deputies were on the alert to check the first indication of any such thing. As the spectators rose In the rear of the room two or three of the deputies jumped toward them with outstretched hands. "Sit down!" shouted one of the deputies in a voice that carried clear beyond the courthouse lot. There was a ring of earnestness In the command, and It was obeyed on the instant. Meantime Beemer and Orchard had marched on to the gate in the railing by the witness chair. Beemer opened the gate and let Orchard through. Then the deputy dropped the bar again and; stood outside the railing.. ' - For a moment Orchard seemed dazed and uncertain what to do. He turned partly toward the v defendant's . table, but his ga*e did not meet Hay wood's. The clerk was Btanding with uplifted hand waiting to adtninister the oath,' but Orchard did not see him. Has Beemer reached , across the gate bar, took Orchard by the shoulder : and turned him half around so that he saw thf! clerk. . 9BSTCPP . . Mechanically Orchard raised his right arm. The forefinger was held Btraight, but the others were closed. His fi.ee was deadly pale and his lips twitched nervously. But he responded to'tho oath in a clear voice, climbed. up' into the high witness chair and sat > down with evident relief.- V . : . For a moment Mrs. Haywood' looked' at Orchard and then her* eyes returned to her husband." She looked at ; hlm"aa* if wonflering what effect on "him the n£bry to come "would have," "and" then as the examination began, she turned again and gazed at the witness. ' Orchard grasped the arms . of the witness chair and turned. his eyes on Attorney Hawley, who conducted v the examination. MAKES GOOD APPEARANCE The jurors and spectators saw at solidly built young man of clear com plexion. <lark brown hair and steady blue eyes. He has a thick reddish mustache, which droops over a ratb.fr weak mouth. His lower lip quivered a little with excitement and : his face was still very pale.' He worelaneat pray «uit and presented ; generally the appearance of a . well groomed, self respecting man. Immediately upon the commencement of the examination.Or chard began to recover his composure and it was but a few minutes until he fed completely^ regained his grip on himself. At first there was a little shakiness in his voice, but that soon disappeared «.nd from then onto the. end of-the day no feature" of the awful story.; ho related afCe-cted him so as to alter; his demeanor or shake his composure. He told first the story, of; his* birth In Northumberland county/ Ontario, 41 years ago, and gave his true name as Albert E. . Hor6ley. He has used ;. the name of Orchard, for 11" years, ever since he came to the United States Irora Canada. * Why he cam* or why-he changed his name was not brought out, although Uie reason for both must have a bear* lnff on his subsequent career. He was a' Cheese maker in Canada and when he came •to this state from there >he drove & milk wagon for a time and then owned and ; ran a ' : woodyard "uo in; the Coeur d'Alenes. What had hap pened to predispose * tnis \u25a0 follower' ?f *uch peaceful occupation^ to" the life of atrocious crime -has not been" dts lJ/l TALE IS ASTOUSDIAG rrom^ giving" these -details of; his :un'r eventful law abiding existence' he .went oh tor: the "narration. of- the, most astounding stories" of ' murder-/ and assassination ever told* ln a courtroom! at f least" since the days of the Mollie Ma.£uires.* He; began- this: career, by his own .fad mission, within ' a month After selling = his ! woodyard ••- and } join <ing th« , miners' -union; at. Burke.- No reason "of compulsion or " solid tation *by the leaders of the union \ was ;: shown for that first crime. . Apparently. -. he committed It for the pure love ' of- It. It" did not Involve bloodshed directly, as most of the later crimes" did,' but it was the sure forerunner of ? suchJJ;; ItJwas the blowing up of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill at ,Wardner; on: April 29. 1899, the crime that' led to the military campaign In -the Coeur d'Alenes -that summer and laid the foundation for the murder of Steunenberg." Simply and directly in his quiet, purring .voice. Orchard told of the ; spe cial meeting:, of his • union called that morning, of his own attendance and of the argument between -Paul "Coehran, the secretary,^' and?*; Bill 'Pevery,'. the president, ; of '• the proposition . to go to Wardner and destroy.the ; mill "and hangr the superintendent." *I LIT OXB FUSE" ; • 'Who lit the fuses?" asked Ha^ey. ' "I lit one," replied* Orchard^calmly. "I don't know who lit 'the others." Richardson fought" vigorously to keep out the , etoj-y,:,; He 1 objected^ at ; every point, protesting that thore \u25a0was not a thing in.anVthis'.to .connect. Haywood with the, murder of Bteunenberg. . '•' DEFENSE OFTEN OVERRULED But Hawley and Borah beat "him eyery.^ time.

"The^theory of. the state Is that out of this, ..trouble" grew the feeling against Steunenberg which prevailed in the - Inner, circle ; when" Haywood later became" a member,: of It — the feelink which.-;ijrreetly caused that murder," replied^ Borah. w Haywood~ became" a partisan of the -Western federation : and had ; that . feeling .and on that we shall show his responsibility.", ,\-' MOTIVE IS SHOW.V •As a point bearing; on* the motive of the Steunenberg murder. Hawley brought out part'of Paul Cochran's ar gument in the Burke union meeting on the morning of the destruction of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill. "Coch ran said that there would be no trouble with Steunenberg,", said Orchard. . with the manner of one who recalls the in cidents of a picnic last week. "He said that the unions had always'sup ported Steunenberg * and • owned him. We only had to look out for the regu lars." H "was their disappointment at the failure of Steunenberg to live up to this estimate of him. the state con tends, that led the "inner circle" men to plan his murder.. ... From the account of that day and his flight from Burke, Orchard went through his wanderings \u25a0In various mining districts in Utah, California, Nevada and elsewhere for three. years or more, until at length, in July, 1902, he reached the Cripple Creek district and went to work in the Trachlle mine running a drill. There he put In his union card with Free Coinage union No. 19, and met again in W. F. Davis, Its president an old comrade of the' Coeur d'Alenes. /ADMITS HIS TREACHERY There began the real story of blood* shed and murder. "They ; traded in human blood," . declared - Hawley- in his opening yesterday. * Orchard^ gave de tail after horrible detail of that ; awful "trading." It was I a story j of 'brutality beyond % the , power.l- of ; Imagination to conceive. Interrupted once " by; cool fad-^ mission " of . treachery, \u25a0to Lrj his * fellows that gave' a 'glimpse ~o^' the'; utterly despicable character of the man ' who told It. . -\u25a0:.: \u25a0 /.Orchard had not (even, the honor of the. thief and told on 'his comrades' be cause they . delayed . In producing the blood money be claimed to have earned. Not once did he say that the men for whom he undertook, his despicable crimes had forced him Into the work.' It was a plain case of buy and sell with him. " " . : \ ;.--." The employers set his tasks and Or chard executed; them,-; and there, was never a.' question : because' high or low, great or t mall, was \ marked for death. He took the commendation of his em ployers . as • r it . came -,"all "f in ." the : day's work: and neither- strove r , to merit ; it nor. to: avoid^their t condemnation; ;lt was the money that Tie worked for and very little of that -'im»IPFER&NT AS TO FATE; *^' /Orchard has got. beyond fearing what comes to himself . as the result. He does not even attempt to shield him self .Jn' any of the details. He simply narrates an incredible string of events. telling what - that j man ' did . and „ said; what he did and said. In Just the same monotony of narration as . If he were recounting : the -uninteresting. Incidents ofihis llfe',as, : a r cheesemaker In Can adacten:or a. dozen years ago.: _, .tr.So it was wh«n he told of the biow -ijig^up of the.;,Vlndlcatof shaft'at Crip :ple^Cteek^and,» the killing; of.

So it was when he"* narrated attempt that "he made to blqw up : Bradley In San \ Francisco on the old grudge held against him ever \u25a0 since 11699 when ' he was the ' man ager. of the, Bunker. Hill and Sullivan mines. ISo, : too,*: It -was > when; he. de scribed the . ghastly massacre: of ' non union ? men at- Independence depot be cause \u25a0 Haywood thought - itj necessary ..to. get .up some excitement to prevent a split in the federation. v - He told of putting strychnine in the milk \ left , on Bradley's \u25a0 door step as if he had described changing : the . bottles for four pails of ice cream. He^ told of pulling the wire that: exploded the bomb at Independence: as= ;hei; might have* told of pulling ' a. fish' out -of \ the water." I HAYWOOD THE CHIEFTAIN 1 .
