HER IMPLICATION
CAUSED SENSATION
Orchard Remains Calm But
Will Be Grilled In the .
Steunenberg Case.
By J. 8. DUNNIGAN.
Boise, Idaho, June 12.—The long
cross-examination and awful atorlea
told by Harry Orchard have seemingly
hail no effect on W. D. Haywood and
he la as confident of acquittal, he lays,
aa he hae been at any time since bis
arrest.
Haywood naturally shows the ef-
facts of the long strain, as does Mrs.
Haywood and their daughters, but they
are, under all the circumstances, re
markably cheerful and appear to he
very hopeful.
The statement made by Orchard yes
terday that Mrs. Cteve Adams was with
the party which laid In wait for Judge
Goddard will result in her being called
es a witness to rebut the statement.
Orchard's ststement concerning Mrs.
Adams caused somewhat of a senna
tlon. and It was much discussed this
rooming.
Witnsas Was Cheerful.
The cross-examination of Orchard
was resumed at 1:30 this morning.
The witness appeared cheerful, as
usual. Richardson began by asking
Orchard about his call on Moyor at the
Aberdeen flats, Donvor, on which occa
sion ihe killing , of Peabody was dis
cussed.
..... Richardson directed Orchard’s"atten-
tloi) • ih. foci that be had tried twice
to kill Peabody at Denver and falleff
and then recalled the further fact that
Peabody’Was out of power and had
gobe back to Canon City. .
After talking with Moyer, Orchard
said he went to headquarters and talked
with Haywood. This was the assassin's
Ural visit .there.since he blew up the
Independence depot, ten months earlier.
Completing Hi.- details of.the plot. Or
chard said ho. went'next to' Pettibone
end talked about "bumping off" Pen-
body. Pettibone suggested that the
■asassin get'appointed as a life insur
ance agent eo he would not attract sus
picion to himself while he was laying
around Canon City.
Not After Mrs. Peabody.
Orchard sold he saw Peabody sit'
ting at his window but did not shoot
him. He figured t)iat It would be easier
to put a bomb under his window so he
went back to Denver and got a bomb.
"Why did you make a bomb big
enough to blow Peabody’s house to
amlihereens and kill his wife and chit'
dren?" ■ i,
"I made it bigger than 1 Intended.”
"Did you wan.t to kill Mre. Peabody
and her children?"
"N'o, sir.”
"Toil didn't care, though?"
"N’o. I didn't care." .
In Canon City Orchard met Vaughn,
who was also soliciting insurance.
Then Vaughn. and Orchard went to
Rocky Ford and tried to solicit llfe.ln
surance, but they did not write any
policies.
Returning to Denver, Orchard got
after Judge Goddard.
Gum In Pettlbone's Cellar.
Orchard declared there was a tin cun
In Pettlbone's cellar In which dynamite
was kept. There were also guns that
had been brought from Cripple Creek.
He said he made the Gabbert bomb In
Pettlbone's cellar.
"Pettibone said they wanted some
thing pulled off so they cotlld make a
showing for the money that had been
•pent that winter. The executive board
was about to meet. Pettibone eatd
Haywood wanted something pulled off.
Haywood was then In Salt Lake," said
the witness.

Mrs. Warren Boyd Was
Guest at Princess
Anne.
Mra Warren Boyd, of 134 Washing
ton street, who escaped with her lit
tle son, Spencer, from the'. Princess
Anna hotel at Virginia Beach last
Monday morning, arrived In Atlanta
Wednesday morning worn and still
unnerved by ber terrible experience.
Mre. Boyd went to Virginia Beach
over two weeka ago to see If the.aea
breetee would not benefit her little
eon. Her alster, Mlaa Augusta Gar
rett. waa with her, but fortunately
Mies Garrett went into Norfolk to see
friends Sunday afternoon.
■ Although tired and worn by hbr trip,
Mrs. Boyd graciously consented to give
The Georgian an account of her expe
rience In the Princess Anne Are,
which she lost practically all . of her
clothing. Luckily she had none of her
Jewels with her.- ' >
Brave Artilleryman.
If It had not been for Sergeant Carl
Boeschan* of the. Richmond Light Ar
tillery, a horrible holocaust would have
occurred, and hundreds of guests been
burned to death. He waa Ip a cottage
near the hotel, and through aome mis
take was called an hour earlier than
he requested. That mistake probably
saved all of us from death.
“As he walked past the hotel he saw
blase In the kitchen. Hurrying Inside
he found the bellboy sound asleep.
Sergeant Boeschane ran through the
halls crying lire, though he first closed
door from the kitchen Into the hall.
This foresight prevented the small
blase from spreading so quickly, and
gave the guests an opportunity
get out
below and smoke In dense volumes was
pouring through the halls. Panic had
seised on tho guests, and they were
rushing from the building In every
Imaginable state of dishabille. The
proprietor of the hotel was like a ma
niac, and before nnyone thought of try
ing to suppress the fire It had gained
too much headway,
Brides Lost Trousseaus,
"That great wooden building burned
like tinder, and spread from wing to
wing with almost- Incredible speed.
"There were three brides In the hotel
and only one of them saved anything
at all, and she was In the extreme wing
of the building. One beautiful girl lost
her trousseau worth fully 82,000. She
stood out In the cool morning air, clad
Iff'a skirt, a wrap and her husband’s
hose.
'Too - much; credit can not be given
Sergeant Boeschane, and If anyone ever
deserved a Carnegie medal- he dobs. I
wish to say that mo night watchman
was on duty In the hotel, which, to my
mind, |s criminal negligence. Every
state should have a law compelling
hotels to keep a night watchman on
duty. It Is fearful to think what would
have happened If Sergeant Boeschans
hod not discovered the fire before It
ppread.”
Mrs. Boyd had planned to stay over
for Georgia Day exercises, but with all
of -her effects lost and her little sou
quite III, site, hastened home. She was
compelled to go Into! Norfolk without a
hat, and saved only clothing enough for
one'cHange.
