WHY ORCHARD OORPESSEC
Boise, Idaho, June 15.—~The prosecu-
tion in the Steunenberg murder trial,
entering in earnest upon the corrob-
oration of Harry Orchard’s testimony,
showed a continuous thread of evi-
dence connecting George Pettibone's
store in Denver with Orchard at San
Francisco while engaged on the Brad-
ley murder plot, partly developed an-
other direct line by which it is hoped
to show that Haywood engaged and
paid Steve Adams for the same des-
perate work, and added special touches
of confirmation to Orchard’s general
story.
Officers of the postoffices at San
Francisco and Denver produced orig-
inal records, shoring that in August,
1904, a registered letter was sent under
the name of “J. Wolff” from the ad-
dress of Pettibone's store in Denver to
“J. Dempsey” at the Golden West ho-
tel in San Francisco. Orchard swore
that he stayed at the Golden West
hotel under an alias that was either
“Dempsey” or “Hogan,” that Petti-
bone used the aliases of “Wolff” and
“Pat Bone,” and that under the name
of “Wolff” Pettibone in the month
mentioned sent him a registered letter
containing $100 to pay his expenses
while attempting to kill Bradley.
The state also produced several wit-
nesses who confirmed features of
Orchard's story as to the Bradley af-
fair, the first descent into the Vindi-
cator mine with the object of doing
violence; the final success of the Vin-
dicator plot and the circumstances un-
der which Detective Lyte Gregory was
killed. Aside from its fight against
the admission of all the evidence of-
fered by the state, on the general
ground tht it was in no way connected
with the accused, the defense content-J
ed-itself with showing that all of the
witnesses had been found and inter-
viewed by Pinkerton detectives.
Orchard failed, when they recited to
him the tale of David and Uriah, that
Detective McParland related to him
when he came seeking a confession.
He fought to save himself, but tears
filled his eyes and he rocked unevenly
like a fainting woman. His voice low-
ered to huskiness and he hid his face
in his handkerchief.
And here Orchard gave a remark-
able explanation of the motives that
impelled him to confess.
“1 thought,” he said, “of putting
myself out of the way, but I thought
aver my past life. I did not believe in
a hereafter at all, but I was afraid to
die, and 1 thought at times that I had
been such an unnatural monster—my
crimes had been so great that I would
not be forgiven.”
“Who told you that?"
“No one. But after I had been sent
a Bible and read it some I came to the
conclusion that I would be forgiven if
I made a confession of everything. I
began to think that the grave did not
end everything, and I made up my
mind to tell the truth about the whole
thing.”
“So you thought you would make
your peace with the future by having
somebody else -hung, did you?" asked
Mr. Richardson.
“No, sir. I think any man can make
his peace with the future if he wants
to. 1 believed it was my duty to tell
the truth. I did not see any other way,
regardless of the consequences to my-
self or anybody else. 1 owed it to so-
ciety, I owed it to God and to my-
self.”
For hours the defense hammered at
the motive of saving his own life. They
sought to show it in the force of ex-
ample drawn from the immunity of in-
formers in the Mollie McGuire cases,
but this the witness would not admit.
Orchard then left the stand, after
having occupied it for 32 hours and a
half. He will be recalled for redirect
examination.
An Imaginary Trip.
He—S8o Belle and Tom are not going
on a wedding trip after all? She—No.
You see, the flat they've taken is so
pear the size of a Pullman car that
they decided they could be just as un-
comfortable without the extra bother
of riding in one.—Boston Transcript.
