Tha ground ou which Mr, Gould i
auing her husband a shown by parta
of tha complaint read by couneet for

third, that since September Inst ha baa
neglected hi life and refused to provide
for her except that he paid for her sup

tion with women of bad character and
employed an ex-eonvlct and several Now
York detective, to procure Improper evi.
aence against Her.
Delaney Nicoll mid every allegation
against (iould will be denied when the
answer to auit ia filed. He maintained
that the charges, to which be objected
to aa aoandaloua and Irrelevant did not
tend to iupiort' the allegation of
oiuclty. He especially objected to the
charge that far three year Oould bad
maintained illicit relation with women
of. bad character and conducted himself
in tbi reipect in an open and notorious
Manner, He declared the charges were
made for the put-pone, of putting the
defendant in an embarrassing position
ami that in the other case where auch
allegation have been introduced the
court ha stricken them out.
"The allegations are decidedly sweep
lug," said he, "the plaintiff did not make
any amplication nor mention any pe
ciflo case or evoni tell exactly what ml-
conduct the defcmlunt 1 charged with.
"There Is absolutely no reason for
auch charge in a complaint for leper
lion on the ground of cruelty. .
In reply to Nleoll' argument, Clnr-
ence Shenrn, counsel for Mrs. Gould,
said if defense will ask for a bill of
particular, specific charge will be made

not presume to mention them In court,
l the course of hi argument. Ho said
Mr. Oould bad tried to make the case
na little scandalous as possible and he
did not want to make the complaint any
more epeclflo in open court. But If the
allegation thai the defendant, for three
years, maintained illicit and immoral
relations with women of bad Character
nnd conducted himself notoriously and
openly In thla respect is too general, he
said the plaintiff would make It more
peclflc.
"It 1 trtie," ghearln continued, "We
uld ,uit say whether the defendant' ae
tlon were adulterous or worse, but we
will b glad to aubmit a full bill of par
ttculara If It I asked for." Bhearin
argued that If the court art ruck out these
allegation It would do tha plaintiff an
irreparable injury by not allowing ber
to prove them when the time comet,

when in continuing hi testimony
agaluxt Haywood be made an explicitly
detailed confession of the murder of
l-'rank Staunvnberg by an infernal ma-
china that directly open th way for
hi own conviction and execution for the
mortal onene. He swore that the a
aination of Stcunenlierg waa first
suggested by William D. Haywood, waa
jointly plotted by Haywood, Moyer, Pet-
tlbon and himelf, wa financed by
Haywood and wa executed by himself
after the failure of the attempt in which
Simpkins had participated. Orchard
lifted the total of hia own murdered vic
tims to IS, detailed the circumstance
under which he tried to murder Gover
nor Peabody, Judge Goddard, Judge
Gabbert, General Sherman Bell, Dave
Moflatt and Frank Hearne. Incidentally
he confeosed to a plan to kidnap the
child of one of hia former associate.
Then under crosa-examination by the
defence Orchard confessed to the guilt
of sordid (octal crime, of deserting bis
wife and young child In Ontario, of
ceing to British Columbia with Hattle
Simpon, the wife of another man, and
to committing bigamy by marrying a
third woman at Cripple Creek. '
Through the allocking details of mur
der plots, stories of secret bomb making
and tale of man hunt with awed off
gun and infernal machines a weapons,
the witness went on in the same quiet

he winced only once and that when the
defense mmle him mime hi six sifters
and one brother and give5 their resi
dence in Ontario and New York State.
The defense fought the story with a
multiplicity of objection and succeed
ed in heading off the attempt to tell the
story of the murder of Arthur Collin,
at Telluride, and in temporarily shut
ting out the content of th telegram re
ceived and the telegram aent by Orchard
after hi arrest. But for the. rent, the
tnte managed to get in it story intact,

At the afternoon (ession, Orchard said
he started for Idaho two day after talk
ing with Moyer and the other on the
subject. Pettibone helped him to get his
trunk ready. He put the Peabody
bomb, prepared for us at Canyon City,
in the trunk, and took it along. Petti
bone knew about this.
"Before starting for Idaho," said Or
chard, Mr. Haywood gave me (340 In
cash. He had riven me $00 before this.
I was to send to Mr. Pettibone for any
additional funds. Mover, Haywood and
Pettibone were all present when thia ar
rangement waa made. I went from
Denver to Salt Lake, spent four or five
day there, and then came on to

two or three day. I found out where
Steunenberg lived, and learned that be

to try to locate him there. I wa told
he wo living at the Idanha Hotel,
"The Portland Exposition waa going
on at this time, and I decided to go
there for a few day. Then I went to
Seattle to look at a ranch. Pettibone
had told me to do this. He thought it
might be a good thing to have a ranch
where we could hide out whenever it
became necessary. From Seattle I went
to Spokane, and then to Wardner to see
'Jack' Simpkins, I told him what my
cbject was."
Orchard remained in the mining dis
trict for a month. While he wa there
he talked with Simpkins about kidnap
ping the child of one of the mineowners,
but nothing came of it. Simpkin final
