Magnates to Agree on Grand Jury Matter Today Forty Sticks of Dynamite in Mine That Orchard Laid for Judge GODDARD'S LIFE SAVED BY CORK IN ACID BOTTLE Jurist Tells of Digging Up the Bomb That Orchard Set at Gate 40 STICKS IN PLANT Destruction on Great Scale Planned by Fiendish Murderer • MRS. SOWARD CALLED Testifies as to "Barry's" Stay in Her House in San Francisco By Oscar King Davis BOISE, Idaho, June 19.— Further corroboration of the stcry of Harry Orchard was made today at the trial of William D. Haywood for the mur der of ex-Governor Steunenberg, and the case of the prosecution was cinched nearer home. In addition to the testimony of living witnesses in troduced by the state. Senator Borah sought to introduce a number of ar ticles from the miners* magazine, the official publication of the western federation, which, he argued, showed the hatred of that organization for the men thit Orchard testified had been murdered at the behest of- the "inner circle." There was ?a lively argument over this offer, at the close of which the matter was taken under advisement by the court until the afternoon session, when it was. an nounced that some of the articles •would be admitted and others would be rejected, the decisions as to each to be made tomorrow morning. The witnesses who gave testimony today Included Justice Luther M. GoG dard of the supreme court of Colorado, who Jz the careful phraseology of the lawyer and the jurist told the dramatic story of the finding of the bomb which Orchard had buried at his gate. John L. Steams, the Denver agent of the Mutual life insurance company, from w-hom Orchard obtained a contract to act as agent, told how he came to make that contract with the murder ma chine, and submitted the letters of recommendation which had been writ ten to him In Orchard's behalf by the men whose names Orchard had given him for reference. These Included Horace N. Hawkins, law partner of E. F. Richardson, senior counsel for Moyer, Haywood and Pet tibone In the present and pending trials, and Pettibone himself, as well as J. C Sullivan, who was then president of the federation of labor In Colorado. They were a strong bunch of recom mendations, and one hearing them could understand how Steams would say. as Orchard said he did, that they could not have been better. . . KECO.MMEyDATIO.V AMCSES The reading of the Hawkins letter afforded a good deal of amusement to the audience, and especially to the law yers, some of Richardson's colleagues in this case apparently having diffi culty to restrain their laughter. Or chard had testified that he had only a slight acquaintance under the name of Orchard with Hawkins when he went to the lawyer and asked for a recom mendation as Thomas Hogan. The let ter that Hawkins wrote In response to the Inquiry of Steams was an. excel lent specimen of the general recom mendation. It assured the life insurance 'agent tliat he had known Hogan for a "con siderable period of time," and added, happily, "I esteem him in every way ta a man of integrity. , His habits are of the best," continued Hawkins, enthu siastically. But an element of caution perhaps intruded itself at that point, and he inserted the qualifying phrase, •as far as I have had opportunity to observe tbem." Then, however. Lawyer Hawkins made up for^that slight tempering of his. indorsement by the generous addition • that . "in" general I know nothing ..whatever detrimental to h\s character.". He closed his letter with an expression of his pleasure at writing .It saying, "I am glad to , recom mend him for a position." Even Haywood smiled sardonically when this letter was read. Richardson glanced -around at the • newspaper men with a sickly grin on his face and Nu gent and Dafrow had trouble trying: to hide their amusement. Pettibone took a. different view of; the-/, request of Steams from " that of Hawkins. Os tensibly the dealer In general novelties Continued on Face 5, Col tuna 1 The San Francisco Call.

DEFENDANTS ASK FOR MORE DELAY IN GRAFT CASES Judge Lawlor Is Impatient Because Attorneys Do Not Agree URGES QUICK ACTION Must Be Prepared to State Positions Definitely .This Morning LAWYERS TO CONFER S*plit Is on Eligibility of Grand Juror Gordon to Serve Members of counsel .for Louis Glass and the indicted officials of the United Railroads . were ordered yes terday to come into court this morn ing Uap a final attempt at reaching an agreement on stipulation of mat ters of fact, prior to beginning the examination of Jiie grand jurors to morrow. Owing to unfavorable delays in the preparation of the draft of a proposed stipulation it could not be delivered to counsel for. the defendants on Tues day evening, and when the parties ami counsel gathered In Judge Lawlor's : court yesterday morning it was but to report' that no 'progress had been made. The court * expressed his . annoyance and ,QrdeFed~ih**a.ttorneys to get to gether prior 'to 2:30 o'clock; when he met .them* again. An hour before the arrival of -the court the 'prosecution submitted copies of the proposed,stip ulation, to Attorneys T. C. Coogan, for Glass; Stanley Moore, for the United Railroads officials, and Louis Hoefier for the Parkside officials. The arrival of the judge found the defendants not ready to agree to tha stipulation and demanding further de lay. Coogan told the court he would consult immediately with Delmas, hi* associate, and endeavor to notify the court of his decision in the morning. Ho said he had arranged for a consulta tion with Assistant District Attorney Harrison and Invited the attorney for Calhoun, Mullally, Ford Abbott to attend. Moore urged another impor tant engagement, and the court closed the fruitless proceedings by directing interested counsel to appear in . his •; court this morning prepared to agree or. definitely disagree. .. The draft of stipulation presented by the prosecution embraces all the facts of, record-in connection with th« draw ing of the grand Jury list for 1906. The defendants are asked to agree that a list of 144 names was regularly drawn by the court in 1906; that a grand Jury was impaneled in April. 1906; that the box containing the list was burned In the April fire and that the box was created anew by the order of court directing the rewriting of the names. ' The rock upon which the opposing counsel splits .is the eligibility of Grand Juror Gordon. When the Bren nan'grand Jury' was- drawn 30 names were taken from the box and from; them
