Rucf Tells How He Paid Former
Boss Share of $8000
"Pees"
DEPENSE MAKES PBGIiT
i J Ehuust.s Every Effort to Shut Out
, Testimony of Witness
Ki'i'or Sialic.
San Francisco, Juno 12. This was
an car-burning day for Mayor
Schmitz. Seated at the counsel
table, ho heard Rucf, his former poli
tical friend, philosopher and guide,
practically call him a perjurer, and
with that same burning ho listened to
a scathing denunciation of himself
by Prosecutor Johnson. If there was
balm for scourged feelings in the
speech that closed the day, the speech
of his own attorney, Barrett, ho took
no open heed. Indeed, during most
of the two hours and twenty-five min
utes Barrett was speaking, the Mayor
was either glancing over a newspaper
or burled deep in the typewritten
pages of testimony. But no word of
the prosecutor's address escaped his
sensitive ears. Ruef was, of course,
the sensation of the day. Ills appear
ance on the stand and as witness in
rebuttal for the prosecution is now
accredited to a tactful error of tho
defense in letting the Mayor testify,
for it was to refute the Mayor's de
nials under oath that he had par
ticipated in Ruef's "Fee" that tho
prisoner was called.
Ruef told tho jdy ho went to
Schmltz's former residence, and thero
handed to tho Mayor at stated inter
vals one-half of the "Fees" of ?5,000
and the $3,000 paid to him by tho
French restaurant keepers. This
was after the defense had exhausted
Us best efforts to shut both the ques
tion and answer out on the ground
that the former was not properly re
buttal because in his direct examina
tion no such matters had been
broached to the Mayor. Judge
Dunne ruled that tho pertinency of
tho question could not bo doubted.
Tho opening address for the prose
cution by Hiram W. Johnson, son of
Former Congressman Grover John
son, and ono of the foremost crim
inal lawyers in tho State, occupied
an hour and fifteen minutes. It was
masterly both in argument and In
elegance. Johnson avoided anything
like an attempted resume of the evi
dence in all its voluminous detail.
Ho selected rather the main peaks
and steering by them, endeavored to
pilot tho jury over the short course
to conviction. Johnson was followed
by J. J. Barrett, who spoko for nearly
two hours and a half In behalf of
thedefense, making much of the tes
timony, and arguing that had tho
court permitted Ruef to tell the
whole story he would have testified
that tho restaurant keepers came to
Ruef and besought his services as
attorney and no threat was made or
hold over them they would loso their
licenses If they did not pay him
money, and Ruef's contention would
have been ho did not exercise any
control over the license board. Bar
rett told tho jury under tho testimony
adduced tho most that might be
proved was that the money extorted
by Ruef from tho French restaurant
men was by the threat to close the
bedrooms on their upper floors. The
"Indictment," commented the May
or's attorney, "charges this defendant
with extorting this money by a threat
to tako away their licenses to sell
liquor. You cannot, gentlemen, ac
cuse the defendant of ono crime and
convict him of another, remember
that." "When Barrett concluded,
court adjourned for tho day. Fol
lowing arguments will be mado to
morrow, and tho caso will probably
reach tho jury before night.
PEABODY AT BOISE.
Boise, June 12. Former Gov-
ernor Peabody, who will be a
witness for the State, arrived
ero tonight. He declines to
d?cuss the caso at the present
tie.
Orchard Though Relentlessly At
tacked By Defense Continues
Recital of Damaging Evidence
Abduction of Rich Miner's Children
to Secuie Ransom of Several
Thousand Dollars.
Boise, Juno 12. Tho defense to
.day carried the cross-examination of
Harry Orchaul down to the actual
crime charged against Haywood
J murder of Governor Steunenberg
and as It progressed they assailed
the testimony and theory of the State
resting upon it. The Steunenberg
crime was reached at midday, and
counsel for the defense directed their
efforts to an attempt to cloud the ear
lier purposes and movements of Or
chard with uncertainty and indefl
niteness. Then they emphasized tho
abandonment of all efforts to kill
after Orchard had first tracked Steu
nenberg to Boise and with a skele
ton key had gained access to the
very room in which the Governor was
living. Here they delayed for a
moment to prove that Orchard twice
wrote and once telephoned to Bill
Easterly at Silver City to urge him
to come and join In the crime, and
the direct implication was that Or
chard was endeavoring to inveigle
another Federation man into a crime
which would bring discredit and dis
honor to the organization.
Then the Steunenberg crime was
temporarily thrust aside and the wit
ness carried over his long diverting
journey Into Northern Idaho, and his
crimes there, including tho dark plot
to steal and hold for ransom tho
Paulson children were forcefully em
phasized. Orchard swore that Dave
Coats, former lieutenant governor of
Idaho, and then a publisher at Wal
lace, Idaho, first suggested the kid
napping to Simpkins and himself at
Denver. Paulson was once a poor
miner, and had made a fortune In
the Hercules mine. In which Orchard
had an interest when the property
was valueless, and It was believed
if his children wero stolen he would
come through with $50,000 or
$G0,000 in ransom.
Orchard said when ho went to
North Idaho he got; Jack Simpkins to
come in on tho plot, and together
they went to Coates to renew tho
scheme. Coates, who was in court,
was asked to stand up for identifi
cation and, facing him, Orchard, said
ho was tho man. Orchard was then
asked if ho had not himself proposed
the crime to Coates, who Immediately
rebuffed him, and if Jack Simpkins
had not warned Paulson the minute
he heard of the plot. Orchard denied
tho suggestions and reiterating his
first story, insisted that Coates had
consented to stay in the plot and
handle tho money they hoped to get
out of Paulson.
Then the defense showed the wit
ness In the commission of a series of
mean crimes and reduced to poverty
in which he had to resort to pawn
shop borrowing and theft to live for
a long period. First he pawned some
jewelry and guns. This brought $25
or $30. Then with a man named
Cunningham, whom he said Vincent
St. John had recommended to him
as safe and tried, ho discussed tho
project to give Cunningham tho old
Peabody bomb, which he still had in
his trunk.
It was for uso by Cunningham
against some non-union men at Tiger
and Poorman mine. Then ho accept
ed hospitality of the Paulson homo
at tho very tlmo ho was plotting to
steal the Paulson children. After
that, with Jack Simpkins ho broke
into tho O. R. & N. depot. They
wore after a trunk full of jewelry
samples, but Instead got a trunk full
of shoo samples. Next ho tapped the
cash register at Burke for $30 or
$40. It was a long era of crime and
poverty and hard luck, and, summing
It up, the defense wanted to know
why, If he was In Idaho on a mis
sion of murder for Haywood, Moyer
and Pettlbone, and with unlimited
credit from them, he did not send to
them for money Instead pf borrowing
and stealing. Orchard replied be did
"JAP" PAPERS
Toklo, June IS. Several papers this morning print photo
graphs of the wreckage eauseil by attacks on the .Japanese lestnu
ranls in San Francisco. This appeal to the eye, coupled Kit
strong words describing the sufferings of their compatriots, has
further influenced popular Indignation. Xlchi Xichl (newspaper)
commenting on the photographs, says: "The situation Is doubtless
giave and calls for prompt measures on the part of both govern
ments." Hoclil (newspaper) sajs: "The stage for negotiation has
passed mill the time for action has been reached." The paper
says, however, it does not mean to advocate war, but comiuc-rcinl
retaliation.
send a letter to Moyer at Butte and
got $100, but he did not send for
more because he was temporarily off
the Steunenberg murder, and away
from where Steunenberg lived, and
he did not want to send for more
money until he could show he war,
back at work. Lastly, there came
the showing of how Orchard had bor
rowed $300 from Paulson, whoso
children he had gone north to steal,
on tho strength of the
fraudulent
story that he was going to Los An
geles to sell mining stocks for
Coates, and that this was the money
that actually paid his expenses when
lie went back to Caldwell on the final
mission of murder.

his own motive. The earlier part of
the day was consumed with testimony
from tho standpoint of the alleged
plots against Governor Peabody,
Judge Gabbert, Judge Goddard and
General Bell. It developed during
August, 19 05, when with a shotgun
and buckshot ho was stalling Bern
Orchard went to live at the home of
Pettlbone, and the explanation of this
relationship as offered by the defense
in Its questions was that Orchard
had come thero to keep Pettlbone
company while Mrs. Pettlbone was
absent on an eastern trip.
A review" of the Steunenberg plot
brought from Orchard tho additional
declaration that when Haywood was
proposing the crime ho said that Ed.
Boyce, forme president of tho West
ern Federation of Miners, and now
ono of the owners of the Herc,ules
mine, had always desired the removal
of Steunenberg for his part in the
north Idaho labor troubles. When
seen after Orchard left tho stand,
Coates said Simpkins never talked
to him on the subject of kidnapping
Paulson's children. Orchard did not
speak to him about it In Denver, but
did come to him In Wallace and out
lined the plot. Orchard said he
wanted to kidnap Paulson's children
and get a bunch of money. Coates
says he told him he was a fool, and
If ho attempted to he, Coates,
would denounce him publicly, nnd
that ho would bo run out of Wallace.
Coates pronounces It absolutely un
true. Coates served a term as lieu
tenant governor of Colorado, having
been elected on tho Populist ticket.
After leaving Colorado ho went to
Wallace, and until a few weeks ago
was proprietor of a newspaper there.
He recently sbld out his interest.
