FIGHTING FOR
HAYWOOD'S LIFE
Defense In Steunenberg Murder
Case Picks Orchard's Story
' Into Shreds
EVIDENCE IN REBUTTAL
Testimony Ottered Shows Tlmt Mo
tives of Revenge Led to Kill
ing of Governor,
U
Boise, June 26. William P. Da
vis, of Goldfleld, one of the most
Important witnesses for the defense,
was called to the stand today and his
cross-examination was not completed
when court adjourned. Orchard has
testified that Davis led and com
manded the mob that destroyed the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines in
1899, and inspired, as the agent of
Haywood and Moycr, the Vindicator
explosion and train wrecking plot at
Cripple Creek, and was an accomplice
in the Independence station crime.
On direct examination by Darrow he
went over the story of his working,
including the pathetic story of the
death of his wife and babe at Cripple
Creek, at which he wept, and made
a positive denial of every statement
of Orchard that involved him or his
associates in any form of crime. Ho
denied ho even was a member of the
union when the Bunker Hill and Sul
livan mine was blown up, and at
the conclusion of his general story
said that at Cripple Creek during
the strike Orchard told him of the
Hercules mine affair and threatened
to kill Steunenberg. The cross-ex
amination of Davis by Senator Borah
was severe and searching, and was
chiefly devoted as far as it proceed
ed, with the Bunker Hill and Sulli
van affair, and the circumstances un
der which Orchard made the throat
against Steunenberg.
Davis asserted that he remained at
Gem the day the Bunker Hill mine
was blown up, and while there he saw
the train In charge of the masked
men arrive at and depart from Gem.
He could not name anyone on the
train except Engineer Hutton. He
said there was no excitement, and ho
made no inquiry about the mob. Ho
said he remained in hiding after the
mill was blown up because ho did
not want to be deported or thrown
into the "bull pen," and he changed
his name when he departed for Butte
b'ecause ho feared the mine owners'
blacklist, made up from the petition
that the Bunker Hill employes had
sent Governor McConenll protesting
against the unsafety of the mine.
Borah showed the petition had been
presented six years before, and that
Butte was In the Federation camp
where the black list was Ineffective.
Passing to the threat Orchard made
against Steunenberg, the witness was
unable to recall what anyono else
had said on that occasion except the
,word3 of Orchard. Davis returns to
the stand tomorrow.
Mrs. Lottie Day, of Denver, testi
fied in 1904 that Orchard told her
about tho loss of the Hercules lntoii
est, and, with that the chance to
"support the only woman ho ever
really loved," and that ho said ho
would kill Steunenberg for the wrong
ho him,
yidler, s
and John D. Elliott, an old
swore Orchard told him on
the train in Idaho late in the fall of
19 05 that he was in tho employ of
the mine owners, and said there was
a, plot against tho. Federation and its
leaders. Tho cross-examination
showed tho fact that Elliott had twice
been an Inmate of the insane asylum
with his mind unbalanced by family
troubles. John M, O'Neill, editor of
the Miner's Magazine, was tho only
other witness during tho day. Ho
testified Orchard came to his office
early in 1905 and asked for tho ad
dresses of Governor Peabody and
General Boll, whom ho said should bo
-"bumped off." O'Neill said he re
ferred Orchard to the city directory.
The Stato used the cross-examination
of O'Neill to make it clear that tho
magazine was tho official organ of
the Federation and expressed Us
views, and to read to the Jury some
sneering articles about the. doath of
Steunenberg. O'Neill also said ho
bad seen Orchard at the Federation
h"nqupre,s several times and that
Steve Adams and Mrs. Adams had
also been there.

TOR
ON DRAIN ROUTE
Southern Pacific Engineer Informs
J. M. Blake That Company
Means Business
J. M. Blake and wife arrived home
yesterday morning from Southern
California, wheie they have been vis
iting for the pan month. Wluio
away Mr. B'aUo talked with Cn-cf
Engineer Hood of the Southern Pa-
iflc. The lea-aon lor the company's
Inaction on tilt trading of the roai
between Drain aud Coos Bay is that
the final settlement with C. E. Loss,
who formerly held the contract, has
not been made, and iintil his work i
estimated it will bo impossible to
renew work. It is expected that tho
Loss contract will bo settled in a few
days, and the railroad will then let a
new contract or take up the work
through its construction department.
This refutes the story printed ome
weeks ago that the company had let
the grading to a now contractor.
Mr. Blake met a promjnent shipper
in San Francisco who Informed him
of the efforts made to bridge Car
dlnez Straights by tho Southern Pa
cific, near Port Costa. . Through a
period of fifteen years the company
has put forth strenuous efforts to
bridge the Straights, which is tin
Sacramento river, and It is said or.co
had the unanimous support of the
California members of Congress. No
difficulty has been experienced in
keeping away the bridge. All that
has been necessary is to show tint
the structure would" bo a menace to
navigation.

Vistorla, June '26. China is on
the eve of an upheaval worse than
the Tal Ping rebellion, according to
Captain Smith, master of a steamer
on the Yangtse Kiang river in central
China, who arrived by the steamer
Shlnano Maru today. He said the
southern revolution was organized

before the leaders wished.
Probably about tho end of next

Tho leaders are educated men, and
have been preparing for twenty
years. Great quantities of arms
have been smuggled in despite the
efforts of the government. Smith
says because df the past failures in

IN CONSPIRACY
Railroad Charged With Intent To
Defraud the United States
Government of Land
Tacoma, Wash. A special to the
Spokesman Review says: "Charges
of a gigantic conspiracy to defraud
the United States government out of
Its coal deposits in Washington by the
O..R. & N. company and tho Portland
Coal and Coke company of Oregon
were made in a complaint filed in
tho United States circuit court today
by order of Attorney General Charles
J. Bonaparte. Tho defendant com
panies are demanded to appear and
make answer to the alleged illegal
possession and charges of conspiracy
to defraud tho government of 6200
acres of valuable coal lands located In
Lewis county, Washington.
With the incorporation of the
Portland Coal and Coke company, in
Oregon, in 1902, the land frauds and
conspiracies wero said to have first
started. During tho past five years
tho company has gained possession of
thousands of acres of Washington
coal producing lands.
The complaint sets forth that tho
O. R. & N. company organized nnd
incorporated the coal and coke com
pany for the purpose of defrauding
tho government of its holdings nnd
that tho latter company is a" sub
sidiary company to tho O. R. & N,
company. Tho entries wero all
mado at tho Vancouver land office,
and it is alleged that tho coal and
coko company paid all tho expenses
for filing on the. land. The land of
fice officials were Ignorant of the al
leged fraud, as thoy had no means of'
ascertaining that tho ontrlos wore
not made in good -faith by the filers
on the land.

dispute took luncheon with his fam
ily yesterday at his former residence,

sent of tho District Attorney. Drew

Is acted upon by tho Court of Ap
peals. t ,
Next Friday is the day sot for tho
