REMARKABLE WITNESS

COUNSEL
Given Full Reign Counsel of De-
fense Fail to Break His Story.
Attempts to Assassinate
Gov. Peabody Retold
Poise, Idaho, June 12.—Harry Or-
chard, calm and self possessed, be-
gins this morning the seventh day of
hi* examination on the occurrences of
his latter years which, beginning witTi
petty social offenses, lead on through
a mace of fearful crime to the peni-
tentiary and shadow of the gallows.
For six days judge, jury, lawyers,
newspaper men and spectators have
listened to this auto-recital that runs
the gamut of evil doing until more
murder has become commonplace and
wholesale assassination barely enough
to cause sensation in the crowded
court room.
So far nr> subtle trap laid by coun-
sel accustomed to lure a witness to
contradiction has caught Orchard in
matt rial contradiction of his original
narration.
1 >'•■ is willing to tell everything he
has done; to give the closest detail—
detail so minute that some difference
tvenis inevitable when It is re-told but
not «>nce has this difference been suf-
ftcierf to give his cross examiner hope
♦ fiat he ean Impeach the witness by
showing contradiction. Counsel for
tfce djbfense themselves say that their
a -octate who has taken upon himself
the trt.sk of cross examination Is baf-
fl' il st times by the directness and the
al^ .line completion of Orchard's
pli< . They are not slow to pronounce
Or. hard the most remarkable witness
the\ have ever seen and even say
thnt he is possibly the most peculiar
ph; -ocoiogical study ever offered for
the dissection of a cross examiner.
Th. aiggestlon has been made that
the ir. ; is coached for the ordeal.
Warden Whitney, of the Idaho penl-
ienllar-. laughs at the Idea. lie, too,
after w > ehlng Orchard for over
t. ' 1\ >nths pronounces him as far
b ... nfs k« n, notwithstanding his
Intimate knowledge of the character
of criminals. Orchard, he says, has
not talked for fifteen minutes about
his examination with anyone since he
first went on the stand. He spends
his time alone when not asleep or
eating, thinking or reading.
Orchard is brought in from the pen-
itentiary every morning and is taken
to the office of J .H. Hawley, leading
counsel for the state. Detectives and
trusted deputies guard every entrance.
A remarkable feature of the cross
examination has been the freedom al-
lowed by the prosecution to counsel
for the defense. Objections are sel-
dom made. Mr. Richardson's ques-
tions are frequently misleading, but
this brings no protest. Mr. Hawley's
objections ar. more frequently over-
ruled than sustained. Judge Wood
has evidently determined to give every
latitude in the examination of Orch-
ard and to allow ev.er detail of the
story to go before the Jury.
The cross examination of Orchard
has been carried in such extraordinary
detail and so much time has been con-
sumed by threshing the same straw
over and over again that there is rea-
son tc believe Richardson hopes to
wear the'witness down.
When court adjourned yesterday
Orchard was starting for Canon City,
Colo., for the purpose of as-a-jsinatlng
Form, r Governor Peabody.
Attorney Richardson began at once
to question Orchard today regarding
his conference with Charles H. Moyer
at the hitter's home In Denver about
April. 190.". Orchard testified yester-
day that M-'v r, Pettibone and Hay
wood told him at this time to go to
Cr.ii mi Cltv, Col to "get Governor
Bred It y." Mover's home was In the
Aberdeen flats. Orchard said he went
there . f his own volition. He had not.
s< en Moyer f"r a year or more before
this. The witness was not sure how
the peabody matter came up and who
spr-ke of it first. Moyer said he wanted
to p. t rhl of peabody so no one else
v.- 1 ; .now in lils footsteps. Peabody
ba<! gone out of office at this time.
Orchard sold he talked with Hay-
wood and Pettibone at the latter's
store. They gave the same reasons
for wanting to gr t rid of Peabody.
Mover also had a feeling of personal
enmity toward Peabody. Orchard said,
for being the cause of his arrest.
Orehard said Pettibone asked him
to g. • ,i position as life Insurance solic-
itor before going to Canon City. He
got letters of recommendations from
several persons, among them Mr.
Hawkins, a law partner of Attorney
Richardson, who has conducted the
cross examination of Orchard. Rich-
ardson wanted to know the circum-
stances of securing the Hawkins letter
and demanded to know If Orchard
had not said It was necessary for him
to get work in order to support his
family. Orehard said he told Hawkins
he was desirous of getting the posi-
tion as a solicitor. The witness said
he met Hawkins at some trials in Tel-
luride and the attorney remembered
him. Haywood later told Orchard he
had made a mistake In getting a let-
ter from Hawkins, for if anything
happened In Canon City it might in-
volve the attorney who had been rep-
resenting the federation.
Pettibone told Orchard he must
have some semblance of an occupation
If he was to remain in a town the
size of Canon City without arousing
suspicion. It was for this reason that
he took up Insurance solicitation.
The casing of the Peabody bomb
prepared at Canon City has been plac-
ed In evidence. Richardson wanted
to know today why the would-be as-
sassin of the ex-governor had made
such a large bomb. Orchard said he
had planned to place the bomb outside
the house and beneath the window
where Peabody often sat In the even-
ing. The fact that the bomb might
kill Mrs. Peabody and the children
made no impression upon him at the
time. Orchard declared.
The witness said be made a pretense
of insurance solicitation while In Can-
on City and vicinity. He did not suc-
ceed In writing any Insurance policies,
so he went into the hail insurance

SENATOR MORGAN
OF ALABAMA
PASSES AWAY
Washington, June 12—United States
Senator John Tyler Morgan of Ala-
bama died here at 11:15 o'clock last
night.
Senator Morgan had been in bad
health for a number of years but had
more or less regularly attended the
sessions of congress. He miffered from
angia pectoris, which was the cause of
his death. He passed a way at 11:15
o'clock. At the death bed were his
daughters, Miss Mary Morgan and
Miss Cornelia Morgan, both of this
city, and his secretary, J. O. Jones.
Mr. Morgan's home in Alabama was
at Selma where the funeral will take
place, the body probably being taken
from here Thursday.

Sandeen of this city today died, mak-
ing the third life lost as Jhe result

anese residents of San Francisco, it Is
said. Intend to demand an indemnity
of the United States government for
the alleged attack upon the Horse-
shoe restaurant and other acts of viol-
ence which they say have been In-
flicted upon them. They hope also
by bringing diplomatic pressure to
bear upon the government at Wash-
ington io suppress all Japanese agita-
tion In California. This, it is said, was
the aim of the Count Noda's recent
visit to Viscount Aoki, the Japanese
ambassador at Washington.
HEAVY
RAIN IN
KANSAS
Topeka, Kan., June 12—At an early
hour this morning this section of the
state was almost flooded by a down-
pour of rain that luckily lasted only a
brief space of time. At least a half
inch of water fell and over the city
terrific roaring prevailed as if a hur-
ricane was somewhere near. The
barometer roso from 64 to 79 then
dropped back to 61 between the hours
of four and five o'clock, showing a
great atmospheric disturbance. Thre
inches of rain fell at Manhattan.

versflry commemorated
Stratford, Conn, June 12.—Com-
memoration of the 200th anniversary
of th< establishment in Connecticut of
the church of England was held to-
lay In Christ church here In the pres-
et e< of i.ne of the most distinguished
bull of church men that has been
s« « i in the state.
Hi H w in the first parish In the state

0* lut -n of relations with that body
between the United States and the
Great Britain. Ths town and parish
records show that a spiritual warfaro
existed in 1709 owing to the "dangers
of Episcopacy" as set forth by the
Congregationalism and parishioners
were not only fined for holding service
but were forbidden to vote or to hold
offlco. Boycotts and heavy fines were
means used to' compel Christ church
members to assist in support of the
orthodox church and state govern-
ment. For a time the missionaries

brstloi^ waS divided Into two parts,
objection
of defense
overruled
Abraham Ruet Testifies that He
Gave Mayor Schmltz $2,500
in His Own Home
Sah Franclscd, June 12.—WJlen the
St limit/, trial was resumed today with
Abraham Ruef on the stand court
overruled the objection of the defense
to the question that was pending when
court adjourned yesterday. The ques-
tion was: "Did you in January, 1905,
In the house at 284 9 Filmore street
give this defendant, Eugene E.
Schmltz. $2,5 00 in currency?"
Ruef replied in the affirmative.'
When the trial was resumed today
Judge Dunne's temporary court room
In the Jewish syntiagogue on Hush
street was crowded from gallery to
altar as It was recognized that this
was the crucial day In the trial. It was
siiid that Ruef's answer to the ques-
tion as to whether he had or had not
given the $2,500 to Mayor Schmltz
would practically decide what the ver-
dict of the jury would be and for thnt
reason Interest of the big crowd of
spectators was intense. Ruef looked
pale and a trifle apprehensive as he
took the witness stand. He had him-
self apparently well under control.
Schmltz looked better and seemed in
better spirits than at any time since
the trial began. As soon as the court
had fairly ripened argument as to the
admissibility of the pending question
was begun, .Mr. Campbell, of the de-
fense arguing against its admission
and Mr. Honey, of the prosecution,ar-
guing for it.
San Francisco, June 12.—At the
closing of Mayor Schmltz extortion
trial yesterday Abe Ruef on the stand
in rebuttal had opened his lips to
answer the question: "Did you pay
half of this extortion money to
Schmltz," when the defense launched
an objection whose determination was
still In doubt when overnight adjourn-
ment was taken.
Judge Campbell called Mayor
Schmltz to testify In his own behalf
as the second witness of the day. The
mayor occupied the witness stage for
more than an hour, during a consid-
erable portion of which time oppos-
ing counsel were wrangling.
The mayor himself exhibited an
eagerness to waive technicalities of
law and answer squarely the Issue.
At 3:40 o'clock Assistant District
Attorney Heney said: "Call Abraham
Ruef."
Ruef, pale and composed, entered at
the back <>f the altar a. d made his
way around the crowded counsel table
to the clerk's desk where he took the
oath.
Don't answer any questions please,
until the defense has had an oppor-
tunity to object,' cautioned Mr. Camp-
bell.
Ruef nodded acquiesence.
"Mr. Ruef," asked Assistant Dis-
trict Attorney Heney, "without hesi-
tation, "in July of 1905, In the house
at No. 284 9 Fillmore street, the home
at that time of Mayor Schraitx. did
you give Mayor Schmltz $2500?" The
prosecution alleges that Ruef divided
evenly with the mayor the moneys
paid him by the restauranteurs and
that the first Installment paid by them
was $5,000.
To this question Mr. Campbell Inter-
posed an objection whose argument
was still In progre when adjourn-
ment was taken at 4:30.
Yesterday's cross examination of
Mayor Schmitz b> .Y.r. Heney was a
stormy one as far ns opposing counsel
were concerned; but the mayor's
equanimity did not appear to be af-
fected at all. At times a contempt
sentence against th • mayor and hlft
senior counsel, Former Judge Camp-
bell, seemed Imminent, the latter re-
peatedly advising the mayor not to
answer questions pu: Heney. The
mayor for his part declared Ills entire
willingness to answer, and at the same
time affirmed a disinclination to dis-
regard the instructions of his attor-
neys.
To questions from Heney Mayor
Schmitz denied receiving "any money
from Ruef or having any knowledge
of a fund being collected.
"Didn't Ruef give you—pay you—
hand you $2,500 In eurrency at your
house in January or February, 1905?"
Mr. Campbell made the usual ob-
jection and Judge Dunne overruled It.
"Answer the question," he said.
"He did not," replied the mayor.
"Didn't you have a conversatbyi
*4vith Reagan in your office at some
time prior to November, 1904, anil in
substance didn't you >,.y to him: 'Now,
Tom, those fellows meaning Flsh-
beck and Bacon—hold a $500 bet that
llutton put up that t wouldn't be
electcd?—then they've got a dive on
Market street and 7'm going to put
them out of buslne -'!' "
The objection to this question was
sustained over the protest of Mr.
Heney. As tho latter sank into his
seat an exclamation of surprise and
chagrin escaped hhr. Then he said.
"That's all, take the witness."
Ruef said when h ■ gave the $2,500
to Schmltz he told the mayor It was
his (Schmltz) share of the $.">,000 that
had been received from the French
restaurants. Ruef testified that he had
In January, 1906 given to Schmltz
$1,500, telling the mayor that the
French restaurant keepers had paid
a second Installment amounting to
$3,000.

Baltimore, June 12.- A telegram

President and Mrs. Roosevelt at the
news of the disaster In Hampton

Norfolk, June 12 - Lieut. Randall
of the U. S. Marine corps who was
included In the first list of mi-sing,
has arrived safely In Norfolk. Ho did
not take passage on the Minnesota's
luunch as had been supposed. Having
missed the launch he remained over
night at a hotel.
While the launch carried a good
sized party, no one has been found
who can say exactly how many occu-
pants the launch contained.
The men in tho launch appeared
to be In high spirits
Norfolk. Va , June 12 It was re-
ported today that the disaster In
Hampton Roads Monday night which
resulted in the sinking of a launch
from the battleship Minnesota and
the drowning of eleven men, including
six midshipmen who were returning
from the army and navy ball at the
Jamestown exposition that night and
flee seamen who made up the crew of
the launch, resulted from the Min-
nesota's launch being run down by a
tug and coal barge which the tug
was towing.
The Identity Of the tug and barge
are as yet unknown. It was said that
the tug stopped after tho accident
but finding no trace of the object
struck, or any signs of life In the wa-
ter, resumed its course with the coal
barge in tow. The presumption Is that
the launch sank Immediately In the
darkness of the stormy night, the 11
occupants being caught In their can-
vas covered craft with tio possible way
of escape and carried to the bottom,
drowning like rats In a trap.
It was raining and the choppy seas

Newport News, Vn., June 1? —
Shortly before noon today articles
were-washed ashore at Buokroe Beach
suppos.-tl to com-' from the ill-fat. .1
launch of the Minnesota, which was
sunk In Hampton Roads Monday
night. The articles consisted of two
sailors' caps, with cap bands missing,
making It Impossible to Identify them,
and other portions of the cloth similar
to that used for cushions on naval
launches, a sleeve from tho blouse of
a sailor and a portion of an awning
similar to the one that covered the
launch in question.
Newport News. Va . .Tune 1? The
only barges which reached here Mon-
day nlahf from Hampton Roads were
two which arrived in tow .if the tug
Eureka. The crew of the Eureka de-
clared their boar did not strike the
Minnesota's launch.
Norfolk. Va . June 12.—From the
Jamestown exposition grounds It was
announced today that officers from
tho fleet reported that an excursion
si earner out to witness the Illumina-
tion of the warships Monday night had
on returning from Norfolk struck an
unknown object, having no light upon
it. It Is believed that this was the
Minnesota's launch.
Dredging for the missing launch
antl bodies will begin from the Discov-
ery landing and a course followed
similar to that which It Is supposed to
have taken. A special from Newport
News s«ys that search Is being made
for. two men from tho torpedo boat
destroyer Worden, who went from
that vessel yesterday morning In a
small launch to Newport News. They
had some trouble with their engine,
and repairing It ns best they could,
started for the Wor.Jtn. This, the
special says. Is the last seen of the
men.

A general disgust of the primary
system of nominations was prevalent
last night and this morning at demo-
cratic headquarters and the head-
quarters of the various candidates in
the city. The only original primary
man to be found In the city this
morning was Ed O. Cassldy, manager
of C. N. Haskell, who no longer doubts
the victory of his candidate.
Charges of fraud and tampering
with the ballots are being declared
openly against Haskell and his lieu-
tenants by Cruce men. The fact that
the reports from counties supposed to
have been carried by him, cannot be
heard from Is taken as an indication
as stated by one Cruce supporter that
Haskell will watch until all Cruce
counties are In and then frame up a
sufficient majority to win.
The fight from now on will be a
bitter one and will end ultimately In
the complete disruption of the demo-
cratic organization and their annihila-
tion at the polls.
Both Cruce and Haskell are making
preparations to capture the state con-
vention, which will meet soon after
the primary to ratify the result of the
election and It Is now openly stated
that the vote will be contested and an
attempt made to secure the nomina-
tion for Cruce, which they charge was
stolen from him and which but very
few are loath to deny.
Mr. Cruce, when seen this morning,
was all smiles and appeared in the
best of health despite the strenuous
campaign and the sleepless nights
since tho vote has been coming In. Ho
said that he was still confident of suc-
cess and had never wavered one mo-
