(BOISE, Idaho. May 16. (Special.) Tha arrival of a number ot witnesses from Pocatello is regarded as significant of the possible attitude of Steve Adams in the tnurder case now on trial. The arrivals are: Ex-Chief of Police C. 8. Smith, Dan O'Meara, Thomas 'McConkey and George McConkey. It will be recalled that In Adams con fession he told of having been sent to Pocatello In 1904 to Intercept a carload of nonunion miners being dispatched from the Coeur d'AIenes to Colorado. He de clared he carried a terrible explosive called "helinre" or "Pettibone dope." It was believed that this, on being thrown Into the car, would explode and envelope all the victims In Are from ,which they could not escape. Djscovery of Pettibone Dope. The car did not come, and Adams even tually burled the stuff In an abandoned mill near Pocatello. He was taken down there last year to find it. The search was not wholly successful, only one stop per of a bottle being found, and the old grip In which the stuff had been carried. After the search had been given up. O'Meara and the McConkey boys came In to town, having heard of the expedition, and explained they had found it and that It set fire to everything. They said they throw it Into a rubbish heap. Going back, the expedition found the remains of the bottles partially melted where they had thrown them. Adams gave the name of the hotel "where they registered under an assumed name. The hotel had been sold, but the chief went out Into the country and found the former owner. The latter had the register of the hotel and on the date given by' Adams there appeared the as sumed name he had given In his confes sion. The former chief has brought that register to Boise with him. Adams May Confirm Confession. The significance of the presence of these witnesses lies in the fact that they would not be likely to be here did the -state not believe that Adams would eventually come over and testify In har mony with his original confession, which he repudiated when the Federation in duced his uncle to persuade him to fly the track. Since then Adams has been tried for the murder in Shoshone County, to which he confessed. The jury hung and he Is now held for another trial. Mrs. Adams is now here as a witness for the state and the name of Adams is on the state'8 list of witnesses. Newspaper Men Indignant. There was a small-sized riot among the newspaper correspondents this afternoon. It had been arranged that the representa tives of the Associated Press should have an opportunity to see and talk with Harry Orchard. They went out this ninrnln? Twa firtenlala hnivaiio, ewrl on It" through some influence and joined the Associated Press men before the lat ter got away from the Natatorium on their way to the prison. These all had their stories written before wind of the matter got out and then there was an outbreak. Mr. O'Neill, of the Denver Post, and Mr. Carberry, of the Boston Globe, got out In the afternoon, but by that time the storm of protest had reached such a point that a general in vitation was Issued for all to go out at 6 o'clock. It had not been Intended at first to admit others than the Associated Press men, but, when the natural protest was registered, the authorities, who had not thought of discrimination, feeling the Associated Press men might be admitted without impropriety, since they repre sented so many papers, determined to remedy the mistake that had been com mitted when the first two specials got into It. All did not get out in the final expedition, as they failed to get the in vitation, but they will probably constitute another expedition later on. Orchard Missed Fortune. Orchard received the crowd much as ho had received the Associated Press men and their companions. He touched upon some matters that were embraced in his former interview. For Instance he said he had not been a professional gambler, but had played poker con siderably and at one time ran a game for another man for ten days. He owned a sixteenth Interest In the Her cules mine, then a prospect, and sold It for $700. Asked how much it was worth now, he said about a half mil lion, he thought. Asked If he had been coerced Into making a statement, he said he had not. He repeated he did not wish to be understood as admitting he had made a confession. He then, at the re quest of the visitors, dictated the fol lowing statement, which was taken down verbatum by all: 'I have nothing in particular to say, but I might say that anything I may have said I said of my own free will and accord, after taking plenty of time to deliberate. There never was any force or coercion used at any time or any threats by word or deed. There have never been any promises made of any kind." USE CAUSED BY POWDER EXPLOSION AT LOOKOUT KILLS THREE MEX.
