TRYING TO PROVE , ORCHARD WAS MINE
OWNERS EMPLOYE
A Court Room Scene at the Haywood
tThe Cross-Examination in the Haywood Murder Case Is Directed Toward this Point At the Present Time.
STEVE ADAMS WILL BE IMPORTANT WITNESS.
It Is Said That His Confession Is More Astounding Even
Than That of Orchard Other Witnesses Arrive.
Boise, June 10, When the trial of JvV. D. Haywood was resumed today, fcros3 examination of Harry Orchard, confessed murderer of 18 persons was continued. The cross examination jwas directed .with a view to proving the witness ivaa in reality in the employ of the mine owners when he committed the murders.
Steve Adams, another prisoner, wit
ness for the state, in the case against JW. D. Haywood, who arrived in Boise,
from in?? from the jail at "Wallace, .where he is held pending trial on the Charge of murder. Adams, according o Harry Orchard, was the partner of
mat assassin in me - Dumping on ex
editions," successful and unsuccessful, Jo which Orchard has made confession.
Adams also, confessed last year, but,
ilinlike. Orchard, he rued and repudiat-
ted the document when he faced the gal-
Jaws. The confession is, however,
pworn and in writing. It shows care
ful correction and interlineation in AdIims' own handwriting. Astounding though it may seem, lhose who have seen Adams confession say it surpasses Orchard's story rf cold blooded man hunting and murder. The list of Adams alleged victims is not as long as that with which Orchard credits5 himself, but this is paid to be because Steve still hunted a
jingle quarry, while Harry Orchard, to lise his own words, "did not care Whether he killed one man or fifty," tis he "felt at that time." Woman Witness for Defense.
Another interesting witness who arrived here Sunday is Mrs. Ida ToneyOrchard, the widow with three children whom Orchard took to be his j
wife, notwithstanding the existence of another wife living in Canada. Mrs. lia Toney-Orchard will be a witness for the defense. It is understood that Orchard, while he lived at Cripple Creek, was in the employ of Ahe mine owners. It is believed by the defense that she will be able to throw light on Orchard's motive and strengthen the claim of the defense that the mine owners and not the Western Federation of Miners were the conspirators who employed Orchard to murder. Orchard married the second time at Cripple Creek when he was at work as n miner. At that time he was a member of the miners union. They were married shortly before the great strike
broke out in 104. The woman' was
keeping a miners" boarding house.
The arrival of witnesses is an interesting feature in the case. One of these
present, a Pinkerton detective, will testify that he has been a member of the "Western Feredation of 'Miners for rome years, and during that time he was president of a lodge. He, while
Xiot a member of the executive board, was in their confidence up to a certain point, r.nd at the same time was making regular reports to the detective pgency. Pinkerton as a Witness. This man will be a formidable witness for the state. His employment to goin the Western Federation and learn their secrets is in line with the detection of the Molly McGuires in Pennsylvania, and which led to the conviction of the men accused. Capt. James McPartIand. who has had charge of the present case since the arrest of Orchard.. and who is now the superintend
ent or the Pinkerton agency, with 3ieadquarters at Denver, was the detective who joined the Molly McGuires pnd secured the secrets of the organiza8 ions. After Orchard, the state will proba
bly put Adams on the stand. Counsel.
for the prosecution admit the possibility that Adams will refuse to testify. Init they point out that if he refuses pn the ground that it will incriminate thim. hi? appearance will have served Its purpose.

Before a. crowd which filled the
chapel in Lindley hall, Prof. Elbert
Russell delivered the baccalaureate
sermon to the graduating class at
Earlham, Sunday. Prof. Russell is re
garded as one of the broadest thinkers among the younger class which is fast
taking control of affairs in the Quak
er church. His address was a splen
did one and in it he made an appeal
for better men.
The speaker said in part: Spiritual
form is the only valuable and inviting element in our civilized life and we need to realize that our jewels today
must be great men rather than great
buildings or ships. How often men get cities built of stone or steel, choicely located as if founded on rock and call them eternal and then an unknown truth comes or a great character goes, and the temples become
tombs and the palaces ruins. Massive fortifications are useless when men no
longer care to defend the mart and
hearth.
Results of an Idea. A teacher like Abelard locates in the
forests' solitude, and men leave the ereat city to be near him. Saint An
thony lives in the desert and at once the cities are deserted. Our battleships are in greater danger from the new idea that makes them antiquated than from the torpedo that would sink them. Constantinople refuses to buy the secret of gunpowder but the Turk purchases it and gains with it a vast dominion in Europe. The idea of the earth's rotundity fructifies in Columbus' brain and there follow the conquests and plunder of Spante-i America, the golden galleons, the
pride, the wealth, and the decay of Spain. The teacher, the scholar, the inventor all men who kindle new aspirations, who plant new ideas in the souls of men, are the world's conquerors, reformers, redeemers and benefactors.
Often they are astonished at the growths that spring up, or frightened at the flames they kindle. Not peace, but the sword, is often their unwilling portion. Luther was surprised at the commotion his theses aroused. In the midst of the battle, he always sighed
for peace. All the forces of evil enlist against him who kindles the fire of the world's progress. Vested interests, pride of opinion, lust of position, will be stirred to resist. But tha lover of man will not fear nor desist. After the fire has cleared the ground, the Fffd will spring up tnd the grei:ir life mature. Christ as a Leader. When I invite you to become leade's and benefactors, to sow end kindle - e beginnings of lines o pt ogress, I only ask you to iollow Christ and fuifi.l

Practically all of the paintings for

members of the committees in charge
of the pottery ,arts and crafts, illustra
tions and etchings, are engaged in
placing them in presentable form, for Tuesday night, when the best exhibit
ever presented to Richmond people
will open. Particular attention has
been paid to the quality of the exhib
its and not so much to the quantity, and it is for this reason that the affair this year will not be quite as large as in previous years, but will be decidedly better. The exhibit of ceramics and pottery will be located in the southwest room on the first floor at the Garfield building. ' Quality above all other things ia the one. thing striven for here. Among those whose particularly fine pieces of decorated china will be shown
are Mrs. A. B. Commons of this city, w ho has a number of very excellent pieces, Percia B. Luce of Logansport, and Hannah B. Overbeck, of Cambridge City. Many valuable pieces will be found in this one exhibit. j The exhibit of H. O. Punsch of this city in the department, although rath
er small, is extremely beautiful and it is stated at the Garfield 'school, that the exhibit would be a prize winner at many of the big ceramic exhibits. Representations of the famous A. Duschek, and Faience Grueby company pottery are also being placed and these groups alone are well worth the
price of admission to the exhibit. They
are beautiful in the extreme.
Not a single detail of the entire art show is being neglected rmd everything
will be in readiness by Tuesday night.
Lavester McRoberts, a colored rontabout with the Robinson Carnival';
company, was arrested about 1 o'clock. Sunday morning in Glen Miller park, for criminal assault on Annie Helms o this city, a fourteen-year-old white girl. At 0 o'clock this morning ho was given his preliminary hearing la the city court and bound over to tho circuit court on :iam bond, after entering a plea of guilty. At D::iO o'clock this morning McRoberts .was arraigned In the circuit court and plead guilty to the charge against him. Judge Fox then sentenced the man to a term of from two to twenty-ono years in the Jeffersonville reformatory. Tis is' the speediest justice administered any offender In Wayne county for some time. Late Saturday night, Officers Staubach and Brown were instructed to locate four young girls who had been reported missing from their homes since Saturday morning. The officers searched throughout the east end of town, without success for some time. Finally, as they were passing the horn of F. W. Kehlenbrlnk, I'UI Main street, Clem Kehlenbrink hailed tho officers and told them that four young girls had, called at the house and asked if the manager of the carnival company was boarding there. These girls, all of whom were under sixteen years of age. stated that they had come
from New Castle to join one of th carnival shows. Girl Confirms Story. After receiving this information the officers walked to the carnival grounds, but finding no trace of the girls there they went into "the park to search. A short time after entering the park they saw a young white . girl and a colored man. Both were promptly taken Into custody. McRoberts confessed to the officers, after first making a denial, that he had assaulted the child. The Helms girl confirmed the statement. The news of the arrest of McRoberts was kept well suppressed by the police for fear that public sentiment might be aroused against the negro and when the case was called this morning hardly any of the people assembled in the city court had (heard of the assault. After the negro had entered his plea of guilt, but little time was lost
in "railroading" him to the state prison. Sheriff Meredith will probably take McRoberts to Jeffersonville, on Wednesday or Thursday.
The three other girls the officers
searched for could not be located, but they returned to their homes Sunday
morning and were in police court this morning. The girls are being questioned by Chief Bailey and it is stated ' that it is the general belief that the companions of the Helma girl were assaulted by some of the attaches of the.
carnival company. The assailants of these girls are now probably out of the city, but if possible they will be run down by the police and brought here for trial. - , .. . . ' '
