Wife and Daughter Under
Summons and May
Testify.
By J. S. DUNNIGAN.
Boise, Idaho. June IS.—This Is ex
pected to be the laat day of Harry
Orchard's cross-examination, and the
Haywood defense anticipates getting
admissions from him that will tend
strongly to show that he had personal
enmity toward Governor Steunenberg
and killed his'victim out of revenge.
Lawyer Richardson Is pegging away
at the assassin, trying to pin him to
or finite sums of money he says he got
from Haywood and Pettibone for the
killing of Steunenberg.
Continuing the examination in ref
erence to his visit to Wallace, and find
ing his old partners all millionaires,
Richardson Is making It appear that
Orchard, who sold his Interest In the
Great Hercules mine during strike
times In the Couer d'Alenes, believes
that Steunenberg was the cause of his
poverty. *
David Coates, formerly lieutenant
governor of Colorado, Joined the "he's a
liar" federation, composed of persons

mony In the Haywood trial, accused of
aiding his nefarious schemes. Coates

by hla wife, and daughter. All three
witnesses for the state and they
Is [dared-upon the stand ln-the early
day. Another gang of Pinkertons got
Into town last night and many of them
are to testify against Haywood.
Steve Adams and his wife, who atie
both Involved by Orchard as conspira
tors In assassination plots, are sub
poenaed by the state and their turn on
the stand Is coming within a few days
after Orchard has been sent to the pen
itentiary where he Is carefully tended,
until he Is needed as chief witness
against either Moyer or Pettlbone.
Mrs. Adams denounces Orchard as an
Ingrate and a liar. She eays she and
her husband fed the brute all one win
ter and he repays their charity by ac
cusing them of crime.
A new and larger crowd appeared at
court this morning to hear the climax
In the cross-examination of Harry Or
chard, aetf-confesied assassin.
Former Governor Peabody, of Colo
rado, Is likely to be the next witness
called by the state. He wants to get
away as quickly as possible.
Orchard, freshly shaven and self-
confident, again walked briskly to the
stand and Attorney Richardson re-
newed his cross-examination.

ARTICLE IN THE GEORGIAN
EMBODIED INDOCUMEN7
A page article recently appearing In The Atlanta Georgian, writ
ten by Miss Selene Armstrong, of The Georgian ataff, on the Industrial
school work In Columbus, will be Incorporated In Its entirety In the an
nual report of State School Commissioner W. B. Merritt.
"I was so pleased with Miss Armstrong's article and the clear way
in which she set out the work In Columbus that I will Incorporate It in
my annual report," said Commissioner Merritt. "It goes Into the details
of the work so completely that. I think It will benefit education all over the
sta'te. For that reason I am placing It In my report.”

SEAMAN’S BODY FOUND
.Norfolk, Va., June IS.—More than
eleven men went down to death
Hampton Roads with the launch of
the battleship Minnesota. In a storm
or fog on Monday night.
Officers of the Minnesota are confi
dent that the death roster, will Include
at least a great part of ten or twelve
enlisted men, on shore leave at tfie
time, who huve since failed to report
for duty. Midshipman Jean Ames, of
the naval academy, may alio be num
bered among the victims.
It Is probable that several of the
missing "liberty men" have taken
French leave of the United States navy,
being given an opportunity to disap
pear and evade detection anil punish
ment as deserters.
It Is reported that the body of Sea
man Robert H. Dodson, coxswain of
the Minnesota's launch, has been re
covered from Hampton Roads.
Sailors from the fleet report that the
corpse was found late last night float
ing on the surface
It Is believed the a;
t where the .Min
m.
eleven went dowrf has been located.
The full cargo of the dead, it Is pos
sible, will be Found In the launch It 1
Is recovered. It Is believed the canvas
top was drawn all across the cabin of
the launch and tightly fastened down,
hemming in the men on board during
their fatal trip.
Captain Henry M. Carpenter, United
States Military College, commanding
the exposition guards, has made a re
port to Admiral Evans, showing that
two men on the dredge Bishop, In
Hampton Roads, heard two shrill
launch whistles at 12:20 a. m.. Tues
day, without hearing the answering
signal. It Is believed that the course
of the launch was from the dredge In
the direction of the French cruiser Vic
tor Hugo and that the course will be
dredged at once. It Is reported that the
officers or the Minnesota have Informa
tion that may lead to Identifying the
vessel that struck ths launch,

"Why didn't you kill Steunenberg In
November?"
"We tried, but failed. Simpkins got
soared and said It would be bad for me

him If anything happened to Steunen
berg while he was In Caldwell."
Made a New Bomb,
Orchard then said he and Simpkins
made a bomb and later he made a new
one, ualng the powder that was In the
first one. Simpkins left him about the
first of December arid he has not seen
him since.
After Simpkins went away from
Caldwell, Orchard went to Boise, called
up Bill Easterly on the telephone and
asked him to come over and take part
In the contract. Simpkins told Orchard
that he told Easterly that they were In
Caldwell to "get" Steunenberg.
Richardson laid the basis for a con
tradlctlon by Easterly, asking Orchard
If Easterly had not refused to Join him
