IS HEARD BY A GREAT CROWD AT BOISE ourt Room and - Jail Yard Filled With Those Anxious To Follow the Testimony of Harry Orchard. CROWNED ADMISSION IN THURSDAY'S TALE. Shocking Details Were Laid Bare and Were Climaxed With Long Hunt for Steun enberg and His Murder. Boise, June 7 The courtroom and 5ail,yard were filled with a great crowd today to hear the cross exami nation of Orchard by Attorney Rich ardson. Recurring to the Wardner affair, Orchard could remember only one man, Gus Peterson, who happened to carry powder to the mill house. He helped place the powder and lit the fuse. Orchard admitted he is a poker player. All incidents relating to the Bunker Hill affair were gone over, I Orchard being pinned down to every move made that day. Referring to the meeting of the Burke union when i the vote was taken to go to Wardner and blow up the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines, Richardson asked Orchard who notified him to go. He did not re member. Orchard answered details regarding the trip to Wardner. This line of interrigation. is to lay a basis for showing that wrecking of the mine was the outcome of the mine owners' row. Orchard said he worked three years after the Coeur Dalene trouble Jn Utah, Nevada and California. Crowned His Admissions. Orchard crowned his admissions of grave crimes Thursday when, continuing his testimony against William D. Haywood, he made an explicitly de tailed confession of the murder of Frank Steunenberg by an infernal machine, that directly opens- the way for his own conviction and execution for the mortal offense. He swore that the assassination of Steunenberg was first suggested by Haywood, was jointly plotted by Haywood. Moyer. Pettibone and himself, was financed 4iy Haywood, and was executed by himself, after the failure of an attempt in which Jack Simpkins Iiad participated. Orchard lifted the total of his own murdered victims to eighteen, detailed the circumstances under which he tried to murder former Governor Peabody, Judge Goddard. Judge Gabbert, General Sherman Bell. D. H. Moffat and Frank Heme. Incidentally he confessed to a plan to kidnap the child; of one of his former associates. Then, under cross-examination1 by the defense Orchard confessed guilt of sordid sociaJ crimes, of deserting his 3-oung wife in Ontario, fleeing to British Columbia with Hattie Simpson, the wife f another man. and committing bigaimy by marrying a third woman at Cripple Creek. Shocking Details Laid Bare. Through the shocking details of murder plots, stories of secret bomb3naking. and of man hunts with sawed ofr shotguns and internal maciines as weapons, the witness went on in the ame quiet, off-hand manner that marked 'his demeanor yesterday. His voice dropped to lower keys as the pitiful story of the long hunt for Steunenberg narrowed down to the last day and he told of the race from the Jiotel to the home to beat his victim with the death trap, and the meeting Jn the evening gloom, as the victim walked unconsciously to his doom. Through it all he winced but once, nnd that was when the defense made him name his six sisters and his one brother and give thdr residences in Ontario and New York. The defense fought the story with a multiplicity of objections and succeed ed in heading off an argument to tell the story of Arthur Collins, at Tellu Tide, and temporarily shutting out the (Continued on Page Two.)

PLAN TO IGNORE THE C.C.&L. Hope in This Way to Avoid Rate War for ChicagoCincinnati Business. MEETING IS CALLED OFF. NO FURTHER. ACTION WILL BE TAKEN, ACCORDING TO STATEMENT OF MAN PROMINENT IN RAILROAD WORLD. Cincinnati, June 7. There will be no rate war In the passenger traffic between this city and Chicago as a re - suit of the permanent cut rate announced by the C, C. & 1. This announcement was made by a high oflicial of one of the roads involved in the controversy, .who declared that the new road and its c'leap rate would be ignored. The meeting arranged for today, at which It was anticipated further negotiations looking to a compromise agreement would be prosecuted, has been called off, and the matter of passenger traffic rates will receive no further consid - eration until the next regular meet - ing of the Central Passenger Associa - ticn, when final concurrences on the new interstate tariffs will be filed. The determination to allow the new Chicago line to take what business It can get away from them was reached at Ion? range. No conference was held, but upon the mere suggestion ttmt -thi-mtrso "lil pHnsaed the w-hol? proposition to carry on negotiations was dropped, and the threatened rate war thereby failed to materialize. The old roads expect to hold their own patronage, and thus prevent their new competitor from getting a sufficient share of the business to maintain its through passenger service, by virtue of their superior service, considera tion being given to equipment, time.
