ORCHARD TELLS
HIS GRIMES
(Continued from First Pag:)
and then Hawley led him down to the de
struction of the Bunker H1U & Sullivan
mills. He was telling of the meeting of
the Burke union of the Western Federa
tion of Miners when the defense made Its
first strong attack. 'Mr. Richardson ob
jected to the testimony on the ground
that the events occurred years before
Haywood was a member of the central
body of the federation and that he In no
way could be connected with it. Senator
Borah contended the state had a right to
prove the facts about the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan mill tor the purpose of showing
why the Federation of Miners had taken
umbrage at Governor Steunenberg. Judge
Wood ruled that the general facts were
admissible, but put a limitation on the
amount of detail that could be shown.
Explosion in Cqeur d'Alene.
Horsley then told the story of the blow
ing up of the property. In which he said
that W. F. Davis, later the president of
the union of the Western Federation of
Miners at Cripple Creek, had command
of the mob. He told of the seizure of the
train, the theft of giant powder, the at
tack upon the mine and, concluding, said:
"I lit one of the fuses myself."
Horsley then told of his flight Into
Montana and of various Journeylngs In
the Western country until he turned up
In Cripple Creek In 1902, went to work
In the mines and Joined the Western
Federation again. Under fire of re
newed objection from the defense, all of
which was overruled by the court on
the strength of a repeated promise by
the state to show the connection of the
defendant later, the witness told of the
plot to blow up the Vindicator mine. He
confessed that after the strike began he
went down Into the mine "high-grading"
and. there discovered a quantity of pow
der. He reported this to Davis and there
he said began the plot to do violence in
the mine. He said the first attempt was
a failure because the cageman discovered
him and his pal and threw their fire, but
later a contrivance was successfully
fixed by which a discharged pistol set
off a bomb and killed McCormlck and
Beck. $500, he said, was the reward for
the murder.
Becomes Hired Assassin.
Then came the Journey to Denver,
where the witness said he met Moyer,
Haywood and Pettibone and entered their
employ as an assassin. He swore that
Haywood paid him $300 for blowing up
the Vindicator mine. Then came the
making of two bombs that were tossed
Into the coal heap at the Vindicator mine,
but were never heard from again and
then a digression to confess that before
the successful attempt at the Vindicator
mine he had Informed the railway man
agement of a plot to blow up Its trains
carrying nonunion men. Next the pris
oner related how he Journeyed to South
ern Colorado as a guard to Moyer and
here the narrative, which had been at
tacked from every side by the defense
at every material point, halted for the
noon recess.
Word that . Horsley was on the stand
spread through the city, and a few mo
ments after the doors of the court were
opened In the afternoon every available
seat for the public was taken and a squad
of deputies had to force the doors shut
and dear away a clamoring crowd that
Jammed the stairway and landing. Hors
ley spent the noon recess under guard at
Hawley's office, and at 1:30 o'clock was
driven back to the courthouse to resume
his story.
Attempt on Peabody.
There was no delay this time and with
in a few minutes the witness was on the
stand telling of his Journey with Moyer
and his return to Xenver, where it was
suggested, he said, that he kill Governor
Teabody. He said he picked Steve Adams
to aid him, and together they stalked the
Governor between the Capitol and his
home, trying for a shot at him with cut
off shotguns. Haywood and Fettlbone
were In the plot and furnished the wit
ness with money from time to time. The
plot failed because Horsley and Adams
followed a carriage containing three
women to the Peabody home and excited
suspicion.
Next came a plot to dynamite Mr.
Peabody, and Horsley said they made
a bomb, but gave the plan up at the
suggestion of Haywood, who was In
fear that they would all be arrested.
He said he and Adams were told to
lay off for a time, but meantime Petti
bone suggested that they kill Lyte
Gregory, who had been a deputy sher
iff and had given testimony against
some of the members of the federation.
The witness then detailed the relent
less trailing of Gregory, and his final
murder.
Murder, Wholesale and Retail.
Gregory turned and backed up
against a fence," said the witness, "as
if to draw a gun, and I shot him
three times. . It certainly killed htm."
This tale of cowardly, brutal man
hunting and killing seemed to play
with greater intensity upon the nerves
of the men and women who sat listen
ing to Horsley, and a shudder went
through the room as he calmly talked
of the shooting. It was the only place
where a victim had been actually
faced; the others had been done to
death by mechanical and chemical con
trivances. Then came the frightful tragedy at
Independence, followed by the flight to
Wyoming, and after that the trip to
San Francisco for the purpose of kill
ing Bradley. Horsley swore that after
his visit to Denver, when he got the
money for killing McCormlck and
Beck, he was constantly in communi
cation with and in the pay of either
Haywood, Moyer, Pettibone, Simpklns
or Davis; that one or all of them sug
gested his various crimes and that at
all meetings held after each crime his
acts were warmly commended.
Only One Exception Allowed.
The defense kept up Its attack all
through the afternoon. protesting
against the admission of every mate
rial statement of the witness, but
Judge Wood, accepting for the time the
asxarance of the state that it will
make good the connection everywhere,
ruled against the defense on all points
ava one. He declined to let Horsley
tell the contents of a telegram sent
to him at San Francisco by Pettibone
while he was engaged in the attempt
on the life of Bradley.
When taken from the stand, Horsley
was at once driven to the peniten
tiary, and he will be brought back to
town early In the morning.
Orchard and Stmpkins Together.
The first witness called in the Haywood
trial after the opening of the court to
lay was J. M. Brunzell, a hotel proprietor
It, Nampa, Idaho, which la between Boise
ind Caldwell. Brunzell Identified, the
names of Thomas Hogan and John I
Simpklns in his hotel register for Novem
ber. 1905. Hogran, or orchard, was at ine
hotel with Simpklns on November 14. The
presence of Simpkins at Nampa on No
vember 7. and at Silver City, Idaho, on
November 8, 1905. was established By A.
Hinkey and J. A. Conners, hotel-keepers
in the respective cities.
During the giving of this testimony,
Haywood's mother, a gray-haired, kindly
faced woman, wearing spectacles, entered
the courtroom for the first time and took
a seat beside the prisoner's wife. Hay
wood's sister also was present today for
the first time.
Next came C. H. Wents, a bookkeeper
for a mining company at Wallace, Idaho,
and formerly In a bank at Wardner. Mr.
Wentz said he knew Jack Simpklns, one
of the men alleged to have had a band in
the murder of Governor Steunenberg. and
was acquainted with his handwriting. He
identified the photograph of Simpklns,
which was offered and accepted in evi
dence over an objection from the defense.
Mr. Wentz also identified Simpklns' sig
nature In the various hotel registers.
Simpklns sometimes went under the name
of Simmons. The hotel registers were
allowed in evidence by Judge Wood, the
defense objecting and excepting to the
ruling. Mr. Wentz was not. cross-examined.
,
Guy Feight, of Nampa. told of seeing
Orchard and Simpkins in company at
Caldwell, prior to the assassination of
Governor Steunenberg.
Harry Orchard was then called and
took the oath.
Tells True Xante at Last.
"Where do you, live?" asked Mr.
Hawley.
Orchard did not seem prepared for Just
this question and hesitated a moment.
Finally In an almost Inaudible tone he
said he was confined in the state peni
tentiary. "Speak up, Mr. Orchard," said Mr.
Borah, "the court must hear you."
"Are you charged with any crime?"
asked Mr. Hawley.
The prisoner turned his glance for
a -moment at Haywood and then said:
"I am charged with the murder of
Frank Steunenberg and am awaiting
trial."
"I was born in Northumberland
County, Ontario, Canada, in 1866 and
am therefore 41 years old." went on
the witness in answer to Mr. Hawley's
questions.
"Harry Orchard is not my true name.
I have gone by that name for about
II years. My true name i9 Alfred
Horsley. I came to the United States
in 1896, first to Spokane, where I re
mained a week. I went to Wallace,
Idaho, in March or April, 1896. I first
worked for Markel Brothers, driving
a milk wagon, and remained there
until about Christmas, 1896. I then
went to a wood and coal yard in Burke.
Idaho, and was engaged in that busi
ness until the Spring of 1899. In 1898,
I sold a half Interest in the business
to Mr. McAlpine. My business in
Canada was making cheese. I sold all
my Interests in the wood yard and
went to work in the mine in March,
1899. I went to work at "mucking,"
and continued at it for a month. I be
came a member of the Western Fed
eration of Miners as soon as I went
to work in the mines."
Joins Federation at Burke.
Orchard said he Joined the Burke,
Idaho, local of the Western Federa
tion of Miners. This was in the Coeur
d'Alenes. Orchard described the Coeur
d'Alene country to Mr. Hawley, giving
the railroad connections between the'
different cities and mining companies.
While Orchard testified. Deputy
Beamer and his assistants stood at
the side and about three feet in the
rear of the witness chair. When Or
chard first came in there was a stir
in the courtroom and several perns
started to rise in their places. Half a
dozen bailiffs chorused in unison a
loud command to be seated.
"State what unusual occurrence
there wm at Burke on the morning of
April 29, 1899," commanded Hawley
from the witness.
"We object to that," shouted Mr.
Richardson, for the defense. "What
occurred in 1S99 can have nothing
to do with this defendant, who
was not elected a member of the
Executive Board of the Western Fed
eration of Miner's until long after
these troubles. Counsel stated yester
day that the rank and file of the Fed
eration knew nothing of the workings
of the inner circle."
Mr. Hawley said he intended to connect
the Coeur d'Alene troubles with the de
fendant. "The court," said Judge Wood, "can
readily see how this testimony may be
material and will overrule the objection."
Decision to . Blow 17p Mill.
Orchard, proceeding, said: "On the
morning of April 29, 1899, when I got
through breakfast I was told there was
a special meeting of the union and every
body was expected to be present. I went
to the meeting."
Mr. Richardson objected again, saying
there was absolutely rothing connecting
Haywood with this meeting. The objec
tion was overruled.
"The meeting was called to order," con
tinued Orchard, "by the secretary, who
said it had been decided that day ,to go
to Wardner to blow up the mill at the
Sullivan and Bunker Hill mines and hang
the superintendent "
Again the witness was interrupted by
Haywood's counsel, who demanded to
know how the defendant was to be con
nected witli the Coeur d'Alene troubles.
Mr. Borah replied for the prosecu
tion, saying it would be shown that Hay
wood came into the inner circle with a
full knowledge of what had been done and
entered into the conspiracy. . This would
be shown, Mr. Borah declared, . by
Haywood's writings. Mr. Borah said
it was necessary to go into the Coeur
d'Alene troubles, which were suppressed
by Governor Steunenberg, to "show the
motive for the hatred of Steunenberg
and his eventual taking off.
Judge Wood said he would allow the
prosecution to show general conditions in
the Coeur d'Alenes and Governor Steun
enberg' s part in it. He said he would
not allow the witness to go into de
tails. The defense noted exceptions to
the court's ruling and Orchard pro
ceeded: Strong Minority Against Crime.
"Arrangements had been made to cut
the wires along the railroad and take
possession of a Northern Pacific train.
At Gem, we were to be Joined by the
Gem union, and together we were to
proceed to Wardner. While the secre
tary was telling us what was planned
by the central union, the president of
our local came in and said he had not
been Informed of the meeting. When
told the purpose, he .objected to it, and
there was a discussion. The motion to
go to Wardner was finally carried by
a small majority. After the vote near
ly every man decided to go.
"Paul Corcoran and six other mem
bers of the union took charge of the
train. We went to Gem and took 44
boxes of giant powder "
Judge Wood interrupted to say these
details were outside his ruling. If a
mine was blown up, he said, the wit-
ness should say so. Orchard, however,
proceeded with his narrative, saying
that before the mine was blown up it
was decided to back up to Gem to get
more powder.
"There were about 1000 men on the
train, most of them armed. At Ward
ner we were told by W. F. Davis, who
was in command, to line up. The men
with long guns were told to take the
front ranks, followed by men with six
shooters. We were told to fire on the
mill as we approached. This we did,
and the fire was returned by the
guards. It soon developed, however,
that there were no men in the mill.
and wa took possession, powder w
placed at three places about the mill
and it was blown'up."
No Fear of Steunenberg.
"Who set fire to the fuse?"
"I lit one I don't know who lit the
others."
Orchard said two men were killed in
the affair.
Four or five days after this trouble
the troops came into the t Coeur
d'Alenes.
"Who was the Governor of the state
at this time?" asked Hawley.
"Governor Steunenberg."
"Was his name mentioned at the
meeting you have described?"
"Tes. sir, Mr. Corcoran said he did
not believe we would have any oppo
sition from the Governor,; that we had
always supporled him, and could con
trol him. He said to be careful about
interfering with the Federal authori
ties." -
When the troops came into Idaho,
Orchard said he quit work and went to
Montana.
"Who was president of the Western
Federation of Miners at this time?"
asked Hawley.
"Edward Boyce," replied the witness.
After two weeks in Butte, Orchard
said he went to Utah and began work
ing at the Ben Butler mine, neat Salt
Lake City. Later he went to the Little
Cottonwood mine.
During Orchard's testimony, Hay
wood sat hunched up close between
Messrs. Richardson and Darrow, one
or the other of whom was almost con
stantly on his feet to object and re
serve an exception to the character of
testimony allowed.
Orchard went to California In No
vember of 1900, and drifted from there
to tho mines of Arizona, where he
worked until March, 1903. From Ari
zona he went once more to Utah, re
turning later to Idaho. Orchard testified
partly In response to questions and partly
was allowed to tell his story in hia own
way.
Arrives at Cripple Creek.
He reached Cripple Creek, Colo., soon
after July 4. 1902. Orchard said he
had been given a withdrawal card
from the Western Federation of
Miners when he left Butte. Ar
riving at Cripple Creek he once more
went into the union, joining a local of
which W.: F. Davis was president This
Davis was the same man mentioned in
connection with the Idaho troubles.
Orchard worked for a time at Vindicator
mine No. 1. near Bull HI1L He left there
in August, 1903, going out in the general
strike which was on among the miners
in the district. Orchard remained in the
vicinity for nearly a year, during all of
which time the strike continued.
"What were you engaged in during that
time?" asked Mr. Hawley.
"I had no regular occupation," replied
Orchard.
"What trouble was there at the Vin
dicator mine in which you were en
gaged?" The defense objected and the question
was temporarily withdrawn.
"Where were the headquarters of the
Federation at this time?" Mr. Hawley
asked.
"At Denver."
"Who was president and who was sec
retary?" "Charles H. Moyer was president and
W. D. Haywood was secretary." replied
the witness.
Mr. Hawley then renewed his question
as to the Vindicator mine. It was once
more objected to. Judge Wood overruled
the objection upon the statement of coun
sel for the prosecution that Haywood
would be connected with the affair. Judge
Wood said that unless Haywood was
properly connected with the testimony as
given by Orchard he would rule it all out.
Offered $200 to Blow Up Mine.
"I had been high grading in the Vindi
cator mine," said Orchard. "High grading
is commonly known as stealing high-grade
ore. I discovered some powder in the
mine," continued Orchard, "and reported
the fact to Davis, president of our local.
He said he would give me 200 to set the
powder oft and blow up the mine. The
union men had all been called out ori
strike. I asked a companion, named
Scholtz, If he would like to go in with me.
He said all right, and that he thought we
were Justified. We went to the mine and
took a couple of shots at the man running
the cage. He ran away into a tunnel. We
did not find the powder, and came out of
the mine unmolested.
"In November some time, W. F. Davis
and Sherman Parker, who were in charge
of the strike, came to me and asked if we
couldn't send a bomb into the Vindicator
mine and ruin it. They said they would
give me $500 for it. I went to Scholtz
about it, but he said he did not want to
do it, for they had not paid him for the
last time he went Into the mine. A man
named Ackerman then said he would help
me. I got 60 pounds of giant powder and
arranged it with giant caps, which were
to be set off by the lifting of the guard
rail as the cage passed the seventh level.
We placed the bomb, but did not hear
anything of it for about a' week, when it
finally exploded. Superintendent Charles
McCormlck and Mel Beck, a shift boss,
were killed.
Called on Union for Money.
"I saw Davis and Parker after this at
the miners' hall and we talked it over a
little. 1 went home with them that night.
I told them I was broke and wanted some
money, and they said they would have to
get it from headquarters in Denver. That
night they wanted me to go to Victor with
them. I held back at first, but they said
there was no reason to fear, and I finally
went. I asked again for the money, say
ing I might have to get out. Parker said
he would give it to me the next day.
"The next day, however, both Davis and
Parker were arrested the day following
the meeting at Victor. W. B. Easterly
was also arrested, but released on habeas
corpus. He went to Denver and I followed
him, where I went to see Haywood and
Moyer at their offices in the Mining Ex
change building.
Haywood Approved of Crime.
"I knew them only by Eight prior to
this. I introduced myself and they said
they knew me by reputation. Moyer asked
me if I wanted any money, and I said not
at that time, but later. Moyer said East
erly had told him who blew up the Vlndir
cator. mine and killed McConnicJk .and
Beck.'
"Haywood told me the blowing up of
the mine was a fine piece of work and
they were much pleased with it. I
talked to Haywood, Moyer and Easterly
about the matter. They said there
would be nothing further for me but
night work for a while. Haywood said
he would have to clean those fellows
up at Cripple Creek. Moyer gave me
$20 and Haywood later in Moyer's of
fice paid me $300 for blowing .up the
mine.
"I returned to Cripple Creek in De
cember, 1903. and since then I have
not done any labor. Haywood and
Moyer both told me I could not be too
fierce to suit them to go ahead and
blow up anything I could think of to
get some of the soldiers If possible.
"I went to work and made a couple
of bombs with giant powder and dyna
mite. I was helped by Owney Barnes.
I turned one of the bombs over to a
man at a saloon, who said he was
going to throw it I don't know what
became of it"
Some tim6 in January or February, 1904,
Orchard said he went back to Denver as a
delegate at a labor convention, called by
President Sullivan, of the State Federation
of Labor. Parker and Davis were still
under arrest at this time, charged with
the blowing up of the Vindicator and an
attempt at train wrecking.
First Plot to Wreck Train.
The defense objected to any testimony
as to the train wrecking, but it was al
lowed by Judge Wood.
Parker and Davis, Orchard said, told
asjhlm they. were, going to -wreck, a JTorenc
and Cripple Creek train near a curve on
the mountain, where" the train would
plunge into a gulch below. Parker said
something must be done to kill off the
"scabs." who were taken to the mines
and home again over this road.
Orchard said Davis told him that If the
train was wrecked he thought some money
would be forthcoming from Denver.
"I wanted money for what I had al
ready done," continued Orchard. "Parker
told me that several of the boys had
been doing little things, and they all
wanted money, but it was hard to get
because nothing big had been pulled off.
"I decided to tell the railroad people,
because I wanted my money. The next
day I told D. C. Scott of the railroad
company. I told him all I knew about
the matter. Scott wanted me to come
back again, and I did see him again. In
the meantime, the bomb in the Vindicator
mine had finally gone off. Scott sent for
me again, and wanted to know if I knew
anything about the exposion. I said no, )
LI! H l UlDUgUl IL was ttu acciueui.
"I met Moyer several times during
the trials which followed the explosion.
Moyer was attending the trials and
said he thought we ought not to do
anything while the trials were in prog
ress. A man named McKlnney testi
fied at one of the trials about a liquid
which burned. Moyer told me that we
must be careful not to use any of the
liquid soon, or he might be connected
with It"
Orchard said he afterward went with
Moyer to the Telluride country in con
nection with injunction proceedings
which the union took against the citi
zens to prevent their molesting miners
who returned after deportation.
Lay in Wait to Kill Peabody. '
Orchard resumed the stand as soon as
the court reconvened after luncheon.
Notwithstanding the injunction. Orchard
said that some of the miners returning
to Telluride were arrested. Orchard then
returned to Denver, where he met Hay
wood and Pettibone at Federation head
quarters. "They wanted to know if I couldn't
work up some scheme to assassinate "Gov
ernor Peabody, of Colorado. They said
they could not get justice in the courts
and that the only way to get their rights
was to take the law into their own hands.
I proceeded to watch him for some time
at the Capitol and at his home, on Grand
avenue, three blocks from the Capitol.
"I reported to Haywood and Pettibone
that there was a stone wall near Pea
body's house from behind which he could
be easily shot. Haywood said he thought
Steve Adams was the best man he knew
of for the work. I went to Cripple Creek
and saw Adams about it. He said he
was ready for it was ready for any old
thhig. I gave Adams some money and
came away. He said he wduld come to
Denver and telephone me in a few days.
Adams followed me to Denver in three
days. I saw Adams in the room over
Pettibone's store and at beadquarterst
Pettibone sold house specialties. I told,
Haywood and Pettibone Steve was com
ing, and they said all right.
Guns Supplied by Pettibone..
"When Steve came they gave him some
money, and Pettibone bought Adams a
new suit of clothes and fixed him up.
They also gave Adams and me two
sawed-off shotguns and shells loaded
with buckshot. The guns were sawed
off so we could carry them under our
coats. Pettibone gave us the guns. He
got them from Federation headquarters.
"We watched for Peabody every
night We kept after him for three
weeks. One night we saw a hack come
along and turn into his residence. We
stole up behind it with our guns, ex
pecting to see the Governor get out
Only two women alighted, however.
After this we were afraid to go around
there, for the women had watched us
closely that night We decided then
we would try to use a bomb, digging a
hole in the sidewalk and burying it."
"Did you talk to Haywood about this?"
"Yes. Pettibone said all right, but Hay
wood said he didn't want this done be
cause the executive board was in ses
sion, and he did not want anything to
occur at that time. He told us to lay oft
for a while. We remained in the city,
but didn't go to headquarters much."
Killed Iiyte Gregory.
"What next did you do?"
"We were to assassinate Lyte Gregory,
a Deputy Sheriff who had been in the
mines. He had also been In Goldfield and
was against us."
"Who suggested this?"
"Pettibone. He told Adams and myself
he wanted the thing done. We talked
the matter over in Pettibone's store.
Pettibone said. It would be a gbod thing
to make an example of Gregory. Jim
Murphy, of Butte, spoke up and said he
thought it would be a good thing, too.
Pettibone, Adams and myself went down
town to a saloon where we found Greg
ory In a rear room, drunk. Meldrum,
who was a mlneowner, was with Greg
ory. We watched them and followed
them across the street. Pettibone then
made some excuse and left us. Gregory
left the place about midnight He saw
us, I think, and made a reach, as I
thought, for a gun. I then shot three
times with a sawed-off shotgun."
"Did you kill him?"
"Tes, sir; I believe I did."
Meldrum was with Gregory at that time.
Orchard then told of running away and
hiding his gun. Next day he saw Hay
wood, Pettibone and "Jack" Simpklns.
Orchard continued:
"They all expressed themselves as well
pleased with the job. They said it was all
rlgh with them, for they thought that
whoever bumped Gregory off had done a
good Job."
"Where was Moyer at this time?"
"He was in Jail at Telluride."
Orchard said there, was no specific ar
rangement as to the amount of money
to be paid for the taking off of Gregory.
He received $100 the next day, and had
been getting money from headquarters
right along. Orchard said Haywood, Pet
tibone, Simpkins and Sherman Parker
next wanted "something pulled off" In
Cripple Creek.
Blew Up Independence Depot.
"Haywood and the others said they
were having trouble in the convention and
there threatened to be a split-up,' con
tinued Orchard. "They thought if some
thing was pulled .oft in Cripple Creek the
excitement would make everything all
right in the convention and the delegates
would go home. He planned then to blow
up the Independence depot in Colorado.
I asked Steve Adams if he wanted to
help and he said he did.
"I gave him the money to get the powder
with and we took the powder to a cabin
near the depot at Independence, prepara
tory to usiag it the next night The next
day Sherman Parker told me some of the
men from the convention were coming up
to Independence to make an Investigation
of conditions there, and he told us not to
pull the thing off until they went away.
They went away Sunday morning and the
same night we placed the powder under
the station platform, attached the wire to
It and then waited for a train to come in.
The train brought nonunion men to Inde
pendence. We used . 100 pounds of the"
powder.
"Steve Adams and I both pulled the
string which upset several bottles of sul
phuric acid. This acid ran over a box of
giant caps and these set the powder off.
The depot was wrecked and from 12 to 14
men were killed. '
"We went to Colorado Springs and
camped there one night We then camped
near Palmer Lake for one night Then
we went to Denver, coming into the city
on an electric-car. In Denver we met
Haywood and Pettibone in Jack Simp
kins room. Klrwan, now the acting
secretary of the Western Federation of
Miners, was also there. Our conversa
tion had to do with the blowing up of
the depot
"Pettibone spoke first and said he was
well pleased with the job. Haywood also
said it was a gopd thing; that things
iwd gone all right In the convention. He.

said a lot of fellows at Cripple Creek
had been arrested and we must lay low
till they were out. I remained in Denver
three or four days. Johnny Neville and
his son Charley were with us, too. They
had been with Adams and myself at In
dependence, but they were not in our con
fidence as to the plot. Before I left
Denver I told Haywood I wanted J300 to
take a trip to Wyoming. He said he
would send me the money through Petti
bone. The next day Pettibone gave me
the $300. Adams told me he had got 200.
"After buying a few things I left for
Cheyenne, Charlie Neville going with me.
I saw in the papers there that we were
suspected of blowing -up the Independ
ence depot so I thought we had better
get along. I asked Fat Moran in Chey
enne to take a letter to Pettibone asking
him for $500 more. Moran took the letter
to Pettibone and brought back the money.
Denver is only 100 miles from Cheyenne.
Neville and 1 decided to go on to the
Dakotas. It was about two. weeks before
we reached Thermopolls. Neville wanted
to stop there and take the hot baths. I
rode on and sent the horse back for
Neville.
Pettibone Furnished Money.
"'At Cody, Wyo., I got a letter from
Pettibone. I destroyed the letter right
away. It said I had better get to the
tall timber right away: that I was wanted
for the Independence depot affair. In
stead of going to the tall timber, I
went straight back to Denver and saw
Pettibone and Haywood. They told me
at first I'd better get out of the country.
They1 also told me they had another man
working on the Peabody affair. In the
latter part of July, 1904. this was, Petti
bone got me a railroad ticket and gave
me $150 more and I went to San Fran
cisco, where I used the name of Hogan
or Demossy. I've forgotten which. Petti
bone had told me to send for any money
needed.
"In about ten days i wrote. and asked
for $100. Pettibone sent it to me by
registered letter. He told me I shouldn't
change my name so often: that Harry
Green was a good enough name for any
body and he would address me that way
in the future."
"What name did Pettibone user
"He signed the letter 'Pat Bone. He
had often used that name."
Orchard said he had been told to look
up Fred Bradley in San Francisco, but
could not And him. Bradley had been in
the Coeur d'Alenes. Orchard said he
received money from Tat Bone' several
times by the Postal Telegraph Company.

to blow up some stumps. I put the
powder into a lead pipe. This I put up
In my grip with some giant caps, a
sawed-off shotgun and some other little
things. I put the bomb at Bradley's door
some time in November, 1904. The bomb
was arranged with giant caps, chloride
of potassium and sugar being spread over
them. It was so arranged that when
Bradley opened the door a string at

whole front of the house and blew him
