I Boise, Malm, July 24.— Forsaking the theory of vengeance as Orchard’s motive for the murder of ex-Governor Htcuncnlierg, E. F. Richardson argued that Orchard was in the employ of the Pinkerton detective agency when he killed Hheunenberg and that the mur der was s part of a conspiracy to hang Haywood. This sudden departure was followed hy a tremendous denunciation of Cap tain James McParland and the Pinker tons and passionate vituperut‘on of Orchard, Governor Gooding, of Idaho, Henator Borah and Governor Peabody, of Colorado, In fact, all who have acted on the side of the prosecution of Hay wood came In fer a si-are of Richard son's peroration. Mr. Richardson, having spoken for nearly nine hours, wound up by plead ing with the jury not to convict Hay wood on the testimony of the self-con fessed criminal, Orchard, whose testi mony, he said, had not been corrobor ated hy any tesitmony standing by it self ami unsupported hy Orchard, to connect Haywood with any conspiracy to commit crime. Mr. Richar-laon charge-1 tire Pinkerton detective agency with a systematic plot to secure the conviction of Haywood, Moyer and Pet- iHeine as a means to the desired ex termination of the Western J Federation of Miners. Clarence Harrow will commence his argument In Haywood’s behalf when court meets this morning. It is ex pected that he will require two days to close for the defense. F IR E A T V IC T O R IA .

C., July 24.—The great est fire in Victoria's history occurred yesterday afternoon, destroying five blocks and many detached buildings, and involving a loss of $250,000. Start ing in the unused boiler shop of tl-e de funct Albion works, the fire wipe-1 out the shacks of the tenderloin. From Store street to Quadra, four blocks east ward, between Herald and Chktham and Pioneer streets, scarcely anything escaped. The poor pressure of waler greatly handicapped the firemen, who, aided by the soldiers of the garrison and a host of volunteers, fought desperately, pull ing down many buildings in the path of the fire, which was brought under control at' 7 p. m. Dynamite was brought in automobiles to blow up buildings, tut Fire Chief Watson would not use it. Men, women and children were hurriedly carrying out their be longings from the houses in the threat ened district. The number of houses burned in the destructive fire is placed at 75, and the insurance at aliout $135,000. The total loss is estimated at $250,000. No cas ualties are reported.

The tenderloin was almost completely wiped out. Three churches were destroyed. NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL GOOD HEPOHT FROM CANAL BARS U P A G A IN S T W O M E N .
