ATTORNEY CAMPBELL
PLEADS FOR SCHMITZ
San Francisco, June 13. Lawyer
Tamp!", in closing his address to
the Jury ln the Scnmltz case today'
cited incident after incident from the
testimony of Former Police Coramls
,loner Keagan, the object being to
8n0w that Reagan was not In any of
bis acts controlled by the mayor.
One of his strongly urgent argu
mpnts was this:
"if these French restaurants were
immoral places they had no right un
der the law to exist, and having no
rieht under the law to exist, there
could be no threat to do them unlaw
ful injury." ..
Campbell conienueu iuui mc ac
tion taken against the French restau
rants was not that the mayor made
an attempt to hold them up, but was
crusade against the immorality at
tending their conduct of their up
stairs business, and that no legal
rights were attacked; that when the
mavor said to Reagan:
"If these places are doing an Im
moral business, you ought to shut
them up," he merely expressed a sen
timent and desire wholly creditable
and wholly In keeping with his dutv. j
Yesterday was an ear-burning day
for Mayor Schmitz. Seated at the
counsel table before the altar In the
Jewish synagogue on Bush street, he
heard Abe Huef, his former political
friend, philosopher and guide, prac
tically cull him a perjurer to the
jury, and with that same burning he
listened to a scathing denunciation
I of himself at the hands of Special
Prosecutor Hiram Johnson
I And if there was balm for scourg
led feelings In the speech that closed
i the day, the speech of his own attor
jney, Mr. Barrett, he took no open
i heed. Indeed, during most of the
iwo nours ana twenty-five minutes
that Mr. Barrett was speaking, the
mayor was either glancing over news
papers or burled deep in typewritten
page3 of testimony. But no word of
the prosecutor's address escaped his
sensative ears.
From two acres of land, on which
peach trees are planted, a Milton man
will get $1,100 for strawberries.
PEABODY AND
ORCHARD MEET
FACE TO FACE
Boise, June 13. Former
Governor Peabody and Harry
Orchard met face to face in
the office of . Attorney J. H.
Hawley at the noon recess of
court today. Orchard was
speaking, talking to another
man, when Peabody entered.
Orchard recognized him at
once, his face changed and he
shrank back and trembled.
The former governor smiling-
ly held out his hand, saying:
"How are you, Orchard?"
Orchard broke down com-
pletely. He said:
"I am ashamed to look at
yon, sir; I am ashamed to
fr speak to you."
The governor reassured
him In a few kindly words
and Orchard said:
"I'm thankful that I didn't
kill you, and am spared the
thought of that crime."

Boise, June 13. After withstand
ing with marvelous strength a week's
examination t tint was one prolonged
confession of crime Orchard today
broke down for a few moments and
wept like a child. Ills unnerving
came with the story of his conversion
and confession and the mention of
King David ns a murderer, the llibli
cnl figure which Is supposed to be
Orchard's later guide. The defense
had given a solemn tone to the scene
preceding the meeting between Or
chard and Detecelve Mcl'arland, to
whom he confessed, by showing that
Orchard was first Illegally brought
to the penitentiary and thrust Into
almost solitary confinement. Then
came the story of David and Uriah.
Orchard faltered and tried to hold
back his tears, but lost in the strug
gle. He burled his fnco in his hand,
kerchief, but the questions went on
mercilessly as before, and It was full
three minutes before the answers
were coming In the old sure tones.
The defense tried to show that Me
Pnrland had played a disreputable
I part in the Molly McGulros prosecu
jtion, and that he had promised Or
J chard immunity. Orchard told of his
j conversion, and that when in the pen
itentiary he thought over bis past
life. He testified today that ho wns
a Mnson when he lived In Cunadn.
At the afternoon session Orchard
testified that he promised that if
I
4M m
J
Stevo Adams was arrested and put In
the same cell with him he would try
to get him to make a confession. In
the course of Mb testimony Orchard
said:
"It has always been the talk
among Haywood, Moyer and others
of the Western Federation that If
nny one coughed up anything about
the federation It wouldn't bo good for
them. , .
i YoKs-Kx'iinilimtlon Completed.
The cross-examination of Orchard
was completed at 2:30. He has been
ln the stand nine days and under
cross-examination for 28 hours. Rich
ardson nnuouueed that he desired to
later lay the foundation for impeach
ment of his testimony.
Richardson announced that ho bad
betweon 160 and 200 witnesses to
call for the defense, and said bis im
peachment examination would not
take up more than thirty minutes.
Attorney Hawley asked that he be
allowed to take up one question of
the direct examination and said bo
desired to postpone the redirect ex
amination until the defense laid lta
foundation for impeachment.
Hawley took up thu planting of the
bomb at Judge Godnrd's gate. The
bomb itself was produced and Iden
tified by Orchard. The defense de
clined to cross-examine the witness
on this subject ,and Orchard left the
stand at 2:38.

Seattle, June 1 3. A special dis
patch to the Times from Nome says
the steamer Ohio Btruek Ice at Port
Safety yesterday morning. A great
hole in the Ohio's how began filling
rapidly and a terrific, panic ensued.
during which the davit lines were cut
and the life boats dropped into the
sea. Seventy-five persons .lumped
from the ship or were precipitated
from the life boats onto the Ice or
in the water. Two white men and
one Chinaman were drowned. One
of tho white men wns Otto Anderson
The coolness of -tho ship's officers
prevented greater Iosb of life. By
closing the ship's bulkheads they did
much toward saving the craft and the
lives of tho passengers.
The Ohio returned to Nome badly
damaged, and at a late hour last
night was sinking rapidly In tho
roadsted.

Penrce Toltl Story of Kobbcry.
Deputy Shorlff Hammond is up In
tho Cnscade mountains, 70 or 75
miles away, after Sam Hnndsnker, a
young man residing at Natron, who
Is charged with being an accomplice
of Harold Penrce, who is now ln the
county jail, having confessed to the
robbery of Uriah Gail at Natron on
the night, of May 29.
The Guard has been nware for sev
eral days of the fact that Handsaker
was wanted in connection with the
robbery, but on request of Sheriff
Fisk has heretofore kept It quiet so
that there would be no possible
chance of Handsaker getting informa
tion that the deputy had started after
him. Now that time enough hns ex
pired for the deputy to reach his des
tination in tho mountains where
Handsaker is supposed to have gone
after cattle, nnd it being probable
that he hns started home with his
prisoner by this time, there is no dan
ger In printing the news.
Immediately after the robbery oc
curred these two young men were
suspected of the crime from the fact
that footprints wore traced from
Onrl's house to the home of Hand
saker. As Htaled ln the Guard yes
terday, Pcarco was shadowed nnd fi
nally tho man detailed to watch him
secured n confession. His nrrest fol
lowed and Deputy Sheriff Hammond
was sent after Handsaker.
Both young men nre about 22
years old nnd are well connected.
Handsaker bolng a member of one of
tho best known families In tho coun
ty, and is married.
