PEABODY MAY FOLLOW WITNESS 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 . listening to Harry Orchard In his testi mony In the Haywood trial, accused of aiding his nefarious schemes.

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. Tried, But Failed.
