QARRDW
IS OFF
NEW TANGENT
Says McParland Tried to Fix
Witness Against the
Defense.
WHO IS HAYWOOD'S FRIEND
Orchard Said He Saw Haywood Pay
Money at Bank More About
the Bradley Case Moyer
- Will ' Testify Today.
BOISE, Idaho, July 9. (Special.)
The effort of the defense "in the Hay
wood case today to introduce testi
mony from Alva A. Swain, of Denver,
uncovered a new feature of the con
fession made by Orchard. Mr. Swain
wah in charge of the Denver office
of the Puoblo Chieftain at the time
of the Colorado mining troubles. Orch
ard, in his confession, stated that he
went to Haywooa at one time for
money. The latter told him he had
some money in a certain savings bank.
There was a run on a number of such
banks there and Haywood said he
might as well get that money out or
he might not get it' at all. He took
Orchard with him to the bank, drew
the money and handed Orchard . $100.
At the bank they met a man whom
Haywood introduced as the represen
tative of a Pueblo paper. Orchard did
not remember the name. This man
saw the money pass from Haywood to
Orchard. Orchard described the man
and from that description James Mc
Parland's men found It was Swain.
Denies Story Friend of Haywood.
McParland saw the latter and asked
him about the meeting with Orchard.
He denied it. Mr. McParland asked
him to think the matter over carefully
and see If he could not remember, tell
ing alnj his testimony might be Impor
tant if he could recall the incident, but
he denied ever meeting Orchard. This
was after the arrest of the Federation
officials.
It turns out that .Mr. Swain Is a
warm friend of Haywood and has been
In constant correspondence with him.
Now the defense offers to put him on
the stand. In making the offer Mr.
Harrow stated the purpose was to
show that Mr. McParland had endeav
ored to get the man on the stand to
swear falsely. Judge Wood ruled the
testimony out, and Mr. Darrow stated
the defense would hold the witness
until Mr. McParland had testified.
"Whether they have opened the doftr far
enough to admit of the telling of the
correct story remains to be seen.
Lit tie Comfort for Defense.
It is impossible' to find anything In
the depositions read to the jury today
relative to the Bradley explosion that
can be of benefit to the defense. One
fact stands out conspicuously, that the
explosion was Just where Orchard said
It was and that it tore everything up.
Moreover, the explosion wa tremend
ous, jut as an explosion of 10 pounds
of giant powder flred on a stone step
would be. Some witnesses said they
had smelled gas about the flats at
different times, but there was nothing
to Indicate that the explosion was
caused by gas. Though a dozen depo
sitions were read, they "threw no light
whatever on the matter favorable to
the gas theory.
There was a good aeal of testimony to
the effect that a man could not have
climbed to the roof of Mr. Bradley's
back porch, as Orchard said he bad done,
to await the coming of the milkman, but
the deponents were not agreed on that
point. , One witness, .. Mr. Reilly, who
swore he passed the door a few moments
before the explosion and saw the Jap
. anese Janitor removing his bucket and
mop after cleaning up the vestibule, is
the only one out of the whole lot who
has offered positive evidence that would
seem to militate against the statement
ot Orchard, but his testimony is im
peached by Gublnnl, the saloon man, at
whose place he said he got a drink that
morning before the explosion. The lat
ter testified he was in bed when the
explosion occurred, though Mr. Reilly,
In that portion of his deposition read to
day, insisted he was served at the bar
by Mr. Gublnnl himself.
Mother Contradicts Son.
The mother of' Mr. Cummings, occu
pying one of the flats, contradicted her
on's testimony in her deposition read
.today. He deposed he had left the vesti
bule only a few moments when the ex
plosion occurred. He said he had taken
pains since to time himself walking to
the point he had reached, and It was a
little over one minute, but his mother
itates positively that he left the building
IS minutes before the explosion. He
might have walked past the covered
'bomb, but the mother's testimony leaves
plenty of time for Orchard to haye done
what he says without anyone else enter
ing the vestibule until Mr. Bradley ap
peared. In view of what these depositions con
lain, one wonders why the defense has
burdened the court and Jury with their
Introduction. The principal one, that
made by Mr. Bradley, showed there was
so other explanation of the explosion
tut that given by Orchard and the others
is a whole, only emphasize that im
pression. Paulson to Contradict Coates.
Today the defense put on another wit
less, who testified he heard Orchard
somplain about loss of Interest in the
Hercules mine through the action of
governor Steunenberg, while a deposition
Irora San Francisco was introduced from
i man. swearing Orchard threatened to
'get" the Governor. Haywood's lawyers
ire clinging to that thread with great
xnaclty, though they know that the Jury
dlf be shown that Orchard had not a
loot of property In the Coeur d'Alenea
be sacrificed after the riot of 1899.
August Paulson, the Hercules man, ar
rived tonight as a witness for the state
h rebuttal. Clarence Hammond, who
vas secretary of the Cripple Creek Mlne
iwsers' Association during the troubles,
also here, as is Mr. Ganey, the man
who had his feet blown off at the Inde
pendence Depot, and who has had some
remarkable correspondence with Orchard
since the latter's confession. Mr. Ganey
will take the stand In rebuttal. His
home is .at Walla Walla. A . great many
witnesses are coming In. Their testi
mony in most cases will be brief.
It has been announced that Moyer will
take the stand as soon as the reading
of depositions is concluded tomorrow
morning.
TRIED TO "FAKE CP" EVIDENCE
Haywood's Lawyers Make Charge
Against Detective McParland.
BOISE, Idaho, July S. The defense in
the Steunenberg murder case today
charged that Detective James McParland
has been guilty of an attempt to manu
facture testimony against William D.
Haywood, but was unsuccessful in get
ting the basis and details of the charge
before the court and Jury. Alva A.
Swain, a newspaper correspondent who
represents the Pueblo Chieftan at Den
ver, was called to the stand and ques
tioned as to a conversation he had with
Mr. McParland In Denver last Fall. Sen
ator Borah, for the state, objected to
the conversation on the ground that no
foundation had been laid for it.
Clarence Darrow, for the denfse, who
wus examining Mr. Swain, explained
that the testimony was offered for the
purpose of showing that there existed
a conspiracy between the mineowners
and the Plnkertons to secure the con
viction and execution of the prisoner.
"Mr. McParland approached this wit
ness in an .attempt to manufacture tes
timony,' he declared, "and I believe we
have a right to show it.'
Will Try Again Later.
Judge Wood said there was nothing in
the evidence that furnished a proper
foundation, for the Introduction of such
testimony and sustained the state's ob
jection. The defense took an exception
and said that it would later make an
other attempt to secure the admission
of Mr. Swain's testimony. Counsel for
the defense are evidently counting on
reaching the matter through Mr. Mc
Parland himself, but It ig quite probable
that the state will not call him as a
witness.
It Is alleged by the defense hat Mr.
McParland told Mr. Swain that he had
a letter from Harry Orchard, saying that
when Haywood paid him for the Vindi
cator job, he took Orchard to one of
the Denver banks to draw the money,
and that when they came out of the
bank Mr. Swain - was standing at the
door and saw them. It is said that Mr.
Swain told Mr. McParland that he could
not remember the incident, whereupon
Mr. McParland Impressed him with the
Importance of it as evidence and signif
icantly urged him to recall it and become
a witness in the case.
Mr. McParland denies that he ever sug
gested anything Improper to Mr. Swain.
He says he got the letter as described
by Orchard, who wrote that Mr. Swain
was at the door of the bank on the day
in question, there being a run on the
bank, and that he believed Mc Swain
might remember having seen them, He
says that, when he went to see Mr.
Swain, the latter said that he would
not tell whether he remembered the in
cident or not and asked for another In
terview. Mr. McParland declares that
he there dropped the matter and did not
again see Mr. Swain.
Offered to Sell Hercules Mine.
Allen A. Gill, formerly master mechanic
of the Tiger & Poorman mine, and later
city engineer of Spokane, and his wife,
Mrs. Gill, were also "witnesses for the
defense today. They Jointly related that
Harry Orchard attempted to sell them his
interest In the Hercules mine In Feb
ruary and March, 1896, which was Just
prior to his departure from the Coeur
d' Alenes, and Mr. Gill, who saw Orchard
in Spokane a month before he killed
Steunenberg, testified that Orchard said
that it was because of Steunenberg that
he lost his interest in the Hercules mine.
Other than for the Interest and relief
afforded by the introuductlon of the three
witnesses named, the entire day was
given over to reading the rest of the San
Francisco depositions. The men who
built the Llnforth flats, the plumbers who
put in the lighting systems, the firemen
who came after the explosion, and the
contractors and their men who made the
repairs, all deposed at great length and
detail. The weight of their tales seemed
to favor a gas explosion, but none of the
testimony was conclusive and the whole
question Involved was fought before de
tailed before the jury. The last of the
deponents knew Harry Orchard and from
him heard the story of the Hercules mine
with the usual threat that be was going
to fix Steunenberg for driving him out of
the country.
Moyer Testifies Today.
Charles H. Moyer, president of the
Western Federation of Miners, will be
brought from the county Jail tomorrow to
give testimony in behalf of his co-defendant.
It is expected that he will be called
shortly after 10 o'clock and that it will
take about all the rest of the day for
both sides to conduct their examination.
There is a chance that he may finish in
time to permit the calling of Haywood,
but the chances are that the defense will
shape Its arrangements to call bim
Thursday morning rather than at the
close of a possibly trying day.
The day began with a continuance
of the testimony of J. B. Reilly, who
lived in the Bradley apartments in
Washington street. Reilly declared he
had passed the apartments but a few
minutes before the explosion and saw
a Japanese servant 'cleaning the stoop
and vestibule. He did not believe it
was within the range of possibility for
any one to have placed a bomb there
In the manner Indicated by Orchard in
the time which elapsed between his
passing and the report of the explosion.
Orchard testified that after placing the
bomb he boarded a streetcar and got
out of hearing before the explosion oc
curred. The next deposition taken up was
that of Mrs. Charles Plckard, who as
Mrs. Crow had been employed by the
Bradleys as cook. She told of having
smelled gas In the house for several
rtava nrior to the explosion and had
called up the gas company to complain
of it. Mrs. Crow denied absolutely that
she had gone to the theater with Or
chard, as he testified. She declared
that he told a falsehood when he tes
tified to that effect. The witness de
clared the explosion was more like a
thud than a sharp report.
. Smelled Gas After Explosion.
Mr. Darrow next took up the dep
osition of Mrs. Lucy A. Cummings,
who occupied one of the flats in the
building with the . Bradleys. She de
scribed the explosion as the most ter
rible noise she had ever heard in her
life. The witness and her husband were
at breakfast at the time, and. both
Jumped to their feet, exclaiming, "It's
gas." Gas had been leaking about the
house for soma time. Asked -if she
heard- one or two explosions, Mrs. Cum
mings said there was Just "one big
noise." Rushing into the hall, she
smelled gas, but no powder. The wit
ness did not know, however, whether
exploding dynamite smelled like ordi
nary powder or not.
John- J. Eckelman, a member of the
Ban Francisco fire department, who was
with the company which responded to a
lire alarm following the explosion, told
of smelling gas strongly when he ar
rived at the scene. The explosion was
not a sharp report, as he remembered
it, but a loud roar.
Several other members of the fire de
partment gave similar testimony. One
of these, John W. Parry, said he had
had considerable experience with dyna
mite explosions, and they differed In
sound and effect from that of the
Bradley apartment. All of the firemen
said tney heard but one explosion. - Mr.
Parry declared that the explosion at
the Bradley apartment was louder than
most gas explosions he had heard.
Joseph Vincent de la Veaga, an attor
ney of San Francisco, who occupied the
apartment directly under the Bradleys.
told In his deposition of having smelled
gas In the vestibule of the house six or
seven days prior to the explosion.
Whence Explosion Came.
One of the most important deposi
tions read during the afternoon was
that of Peter W. Doyle, a foreman of
carnenters. who had charge of the re-
I pairs following the explosion. He de
( clared that not the slightest trace of
j lead was found anywhere in the wood
1 work or debris. Asked his opinion, as
I to where the force came from which
caused the damage, he declared It
seemed to come from the direction of
the Cummings' apartment, where the
gas pipes ran up the east wall. Mr.
Doyle gave in detail the extent of the
damage. He said that In the Cummings
and De la Veaga flats the wall panels
and plaster had been blown out. the
force of the explosion coming from be
tween the studding In the wall.
Allen F. Gill, of Spokane, Wash., for
mer City Engineer of Spokane and once
master mechanic of the Tiger & Poor
man mine, in the Coeur d'Alene
district of Idaho, said that in March.
1899, Orchard had offered to sell to
him his interest in the Hercules mine.
'The witness met Orchard and Jack
Slmpkins in Spokane in 1905 and talked
with them on the street about the Her
cules mine.
Orchard's Blighted Hopes.
"I told Orchard that my . wife and my
self felt unfortunate that he had never
come around to close up that deal," said
the witness. "Orchard replied that he
was hard up at the time he offered his
interest for sale, but that he afterward
sold out his wood business and bad gone
to work in the mines. He said that
he ought to have his pockets bulging
with money, and would have had It and
would have been able to erect blocks of
buildings, as his partners were doing,
if that Steunenberg had not
driven him out of the country.
He also spoke of Cordoner- the man to
whom he sold his interest in the- mine
and said " dago' . was having a
good time spending the money that ought
to oe nis.
Cross-examined by Senator Borah,
Gill said Slmpkins was a party to this
interview; he knew both Orchard and
Simpkins quite well.
Mrs. Gill said she knew Orchard
when he was In the wood business at
Burke. Orchard had offered to sell
hi Interest In the Hercules mine to
her, she testified, in February, 1889.
She consulted her husband about the
matter and he decided td'make the
purchase. Orchard did not return, how
ever, and she did not see him again un
til the following March.
More Evidence of Gas.
- The deposition of C A. Creamer, the
contractor who repaired the Llnforth
flats after the explosion, was read next.
The deponent gave an extended de
scription of the building and the dam
age caused by the explosion. His de
scription indicated that the explosion
was caused by gas, but on cross-examination
he said he could not tell
whether gas or dynamite damaged the
building.
The affidavits of B. B. Llnforth, a
plumber, told of the discovery of gas
leaks at the Llnforth; flats and the ef
forts to locate them before the explo
sion. Mr. Lewis testified tnat he found
a leak In a gas meter and the meter
was replaced by the gas company.
F. A. Gilley, who had charge of the
plumbing in the Llnforth flats, de
scribed the discovery of the leaking
meter and told of Its removal.
The last deposition was that of W. A.
Abernathy, a contractor, who testified
that he met Harry Orchard at San
Francisco in November, 1904. Orchard
had been Introduced to the witness as
a man with a silver-lead property in
Idaho, so the witness said. Orchard
told Mr. Abernathy that, if It had not
been for Steunenberg, whom he called
a vile name, he would have been rich
and that he Intended to fix Steunen
berg. Orchard offered to look up the
silver-lead property In Idaho for $100.

Mrs. Carter Shakes Off Old Love to
Entertain Dishonest Bank
Employe With Money.
KEW YORK, July 9. Late today the
police arrested Harry Klrksteln, a tele
graph operator, 22 years old, on a charge
of acting with Mrs. Laura Carter in
receiving and disposing of $5000 stolen
from the Windsor Trust Company by
Chester B. Runyan. The complaint was
signed by George W. Young, of the trust
company.
Kirkstein said he had lived with Mrs.
Carter at a flat in West Sixty-sixth
street for about a year and a half, until
recently she told him she had a "good
thing," and he left her.
On the evening of the Fourth of July
he said Mrs; Carter telephoned him to
meet her the next morning, which be did.
She told him, he said, that the "good
thing" was Chester D. Runyan, the miss
ing teller of the Windsor Trust Com
pany, and he had given her $5000, which
she had in her handbag.
Kirkstein said he advised her to take
the money to the trust company and tell
the officers where Runyan was. She re
plied, Kirkstein said, that she would re
turn the money to Runyan and then
give him up. He did not see the money
and had no idea whether she returned
it to Runyan. i
