I will not cqirobo- rato Orchard. I was not hired bjr the chiefs of the Western Federation of Miners to murder anybody. The prose cutors of Haywood, Mqyer nnd Pettl- bone tried to prove that I killed Tyler, but they did not do It, and they can't fix that crime on me. I never killed Tyler. When I went back on tho story I told during the time I was held here In' the penitentiary they started to shove me through. They can do It, but I won't be used to send anybody 'to the gallows." Orchard Converted. Following a veiled Intimation on the stand yesterday that he had been con verted. Orchard today declared public ly that he has “got religion." Orchard claims since he has been a prisoner It was his close study of the tilble that encouraged him to confess and not tho conchlng of Detective Mc- Purtland, as alleged by tho attorneys for the defense.
