' T Their -star, witnesses- will be -put for Ward and the promise Is made that thelf testimony will be no less salient than that of Orchard himself. One of these men will be Haywood and the other Steve Adams, although Adams waa first listed as a witness for the state. He made, early in 10, a confession cor roborating Orchards story. Then as toon as he got an attorney he repudi ated this statement absolutely, (1 eel fir ing It waa extorted from blm WD tectlve McParland through threats and promises. .Immediately afterward he was taken to Telluride, Colorado, I charged with' the murder of Arthur Col , tins, . euperintenoent oi . me - vmuggier union mine,.' , dams a Tartar for the BUM. Adams takes bis situation philosoph ically. He feels that every publio offl- ciais nana is against mm, ana mat tne officers are determined to have him danoe on the end of a rope, In one state or another. According to his awn state ment, he "does not give a damn, but .he will give them a run' for their money It -is not expected-that a man In such a frame of mind will prove a valuable witness for -the state. Adams himself has '-stated that he .knows; nothing against Haywood ' and - has nothing to testify for the prosecution. Hawley and Borah, for the state, believe they can ;work a' statement out ot him.' It is the general '.opinion,, however, that Adams' story will lp the defense and that he will then be called aa their wit ness. -: y ... ' .. V ' State's Coup That railed. The feature' of today's testimony was tha fallurj. nf a. : tmitt' bv. tha state. Former Qovernor Peabody -of Colorado was called' to testify to ittetnDts on nls life by Orchard In 1906. When he con cluded be was turned over to tne de fense for cross-examination. In' the be lief that Mr. Richardson would - ques tion him at length. - Then. In redirect examination, Borah expected to have Peabodv defend hla acts and give a lecture to the Jury on the lawlessness of the Western - Federation of Miners generally- 'Richardson saw tne trap ana declined to cross-examine. Orchard's Trial postponed. Other witnesses were Major Nay lor of the Colorado National Guard, who testified as to his activity against tne strlkina- miners, and Miss cora i'eaDoar, daurhtar of the ex-KOvernor. who was called to testify to caving seen urcnara and Adams in wait to shoot her father. Still other state's wltneaacs were tne sheriff who unloaded the bomb, .he Denver plumber who made It, and half a dosen others of small importance. - Therr will be no session Monday, as udga,Wood is going to Caldwell to aajoarn J- tne case against .. urcnara. which is set for trial on that. day.

There was the same imnersona) note about the story of that last pilgrimage of death.

Hot a Shred of Brldenoe. And vet it wasn't evidence. It nroved nothlna. ' It did not even nrove that Orchard killed Bteunenberg- not even that. There has been evidence that flteunenberK is dead. There has been evidence that a bomb killed him. But there has been no evidence, none at all., that Orchard even placed that bomb; no evidence other than Orchard's own statement. It has been the same with the blow ing up of the Vindicator mine and the blowing up of the Independence depot, and the killing of Lyte Gregory, and the attempt on tha life of Bradley. So far we have come nearer to bringing the Bradley affair home to Orchard than any of the others. It Is a pregnant situation. And it must be remembered that Orchard is not on trial here. It is William D, Haywood. And - against Haywood, so far. no evidence has been produced that any system of Jurisprudence would ao- cent as connecting mm witn tne tsteun enberg murder.

The real Mr. Gordon and Mra rinninn fixed up their differences and lived happily together after considerable no toriety. According to testimony they had been married six years before In the same Vancouver. ' But estrangements followed, and it was during these periods of separation that Gordon claims his wife frequently disturbed the sale of real aetata to prospective buyers by asserting her right to title in various pieces of prop erty which he owned. It was at these times, too, that she bought expensive silk dreeses and charged them to him. Furniture and other household goods were also bought, and once a ii.ooo piano. Mr. Gordon remonstrated quite loreipiy, dui nis wire atways carted away the goods and the accounts were paia. -.'. With the distressing matter of bit, ment of bills out of the way, the goods were shipped to Sacramento and. sold, Mrs. Gordon taking the proceeds to use while they lasted. Then the same thing waa uuao yir again.' . -,. . - .Arrested for Counterfeiting. In the fall of 1908. acting under in- truouons rrorn tne cmei or the Ban Francisco police, detectives located Mrs. Gordon at the Portland hotel. She was wanted for forgery. But shs refused to leave her room for a'oounle of dava and a guard was established In the corridor of the fashionable hostelry where she had been staying and charging her ac count to uoraon, f inany starvea out, shs was taken- In custody and a search of her room revealed a complete coun terfeiting ourrit. Mrs. Gordon was taken to San Fran- clsoo. where it is said both charges against her were compromised by. her husband's aid. , Since that time her whereabouts haa been a matter of con- lecture. Last fau sue remained in Portland a short time, but It' waa not until Friday, when Gordon caused her arrest lor aorrm-r nis xooisiens ana nnr noylng him, that she again appeared bo- zore tne puntio gase. Miss Lerch is persistent in her asser tions that the Gordon, she married in Vancouver seven or eight years ago is tha same man she took unto herself in the same city less than two years ago. Mr. 'Gordon says no, and says it vehe mently. He says the other Mr. Gordon was a dummy who impersonated him. The minister who performed the last marriage says so, too, likewise the wit nesses. ., Miss Lercn, to tne contrary, says she knows better than any of them who her husband or husbands is or are. Mr. Gordon always asserted that Miss Lerch married the dummy E. H. Gordon so that in case of his own death she could lay claim to his estate as widow. , 'i , "' ' A. movement is afoot to hold, a na tional convention of negroes in Baltimore-- the latter part of this month to protest against tne nomination, of See rotary Tail tor tha presidency.

Judge Dunne today absolutely refused to release Mayor Schmlts, convicted of extortion, on ball and ordered that he be held. In jail pending sentence June 27. This is tha final step in the lower court Attorney Campbell, for Schmlts, oon- tended that the mayor's old bond of M40.000 is still good and urged that Schmlts ought to be at liberty to attend to the city's business. District Attorney Langdon, for the state, opposed the release, denying that publto service, required it He quoted the city charter to prove that an acting mayor could be appointed, Jsdge Dunne ruiea: - "During my term on the bench I have persistently denied such motions. - and the mere fact that this defendant is the mayor has no particular weight The court denies the amplication. ' - "This prisoner will be treated - the same as all others under like-circum stances. The sheriff ha no discretion in the matter, but must receive the prisoner into custody and proceed as the law requires. We have had the course of Justice blocked by this sheriff in other courts.- I do not Intend to have It occur in this court." District Attorney Langdon said: 'I am not sure that the sheriff has done his full duty in regard to this prisoner. I want to question the sheriff In that regard. Sheriff O'Nell was called by Judge Dunne and declared he had allowed Schmlts no liberty except in accordance with the -law and expressed his desire o follow tne order oi tne court.
