believes Orchard In his testimony at
the trials of Haywood and 1’ Mi-
bone for the murder of ex-Governor
Steunenberg, told the exact truth,
attempting to conceal nothing.
"I am more than satisfied that th<“

the disclosures that he did and that
he also testified fully and fairly to
the whole truth, withholding noth

nothing which had not actually taken
place.”
Judge Wood formally sentenc’d
Orchard to be hanged and fixed May
15 as the date of execution.
Orchard thanked the court for his
review of the case and for his kindly
remarks regarding him. He repeated
that he had told the whole truth and
that no promise of immunity or mer

from freshmen classes, of whlfh com
paratively little is known.
For O A. C. the outlook Is bright
er than it has been for several years.
Nearly all the old men of last year's
team are back, and will be aided by
some splendid new material. O. A.
C. is weakest in the sprints and hur-
dies ’and even the welghts are in
doubt.
The only sprinters O. A. C. has
