THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
MONDAY, JUNE IT, ISO?.
Only Parts of His
Story Have Been
Substantiated.
Boise, Idaho, June 17.—Harry Or
chard, In charge of Warden Whitney,
of the Idaho penitentiary, and a force
of guards, was taken to Caldwell today
to be formally arraigned for trial there
for the murder of ex-Govemor Frank
Steunenberg. The case had been set
for trial today, but because of the
Haywood trial It was arranged that as
soon as the case was cleared It would
bo postponed until September so It
would not conflict with the Haywood
case.
Meanwhile the Haywood trial stands
adjourned until Tuesday because of the
absence of Orchard and also of Judge
Fremont Wood, who is presiding in the
Haywood case and who held court In
Caldwell for Judge Bryan, who Is dis
qualified In the Orchard case because
hit partner was counsel for Orchard at
the time of hla arrest.
Credence Is given the reports that
the Pinkertons have not delivered all
tha evidence they promised by Senator
Borah's statement that neither Me*
Portland nor any of the Pinkerton men
is to be called os witnesses by the state.
So far the state, has only succeeded In
corroborating parts of Orchard's con
fession, but not a word of evldenoe has
been offered that connects Haywood
with Orchard's crimes.
Today the state la still undecided
whether Steve Adams Is to be called
as a witness. Adams la the critical fea
ture in the case at this time and there
Is a grave doubt among tho prosecu
tors regarding what shall be done with
him.

ALL ABOARD FOR GREATER ATLANTA
Are You Keeping Up With The Growth
Of The City?
When you outgrow your clothes you have to get
larger ones.
The city of Atlanta has outgrown its skirts and
must spread. The opportunity is up to you. If you
do not comprehend the situation, take the matter up
and do a little investigating. Practically ALL OF
THE VACANT LOTS in the present city limits
have been sold or are valued too high for a moderate
investment.
v In Greater Atlanta it is proposed that Edgewood
City be taken in. In order’to meet the demand for
a modest and safe investment we will offer at auc
tion, on the premises, 51 lots in Edgewood, bounded
on the south by DeKalb avenue, the Georgia railroad
and Edgewood avenue to Decatur, Ga., car line, ex
tending north between Clifton and Arizona avenue
two blocks and fronting on McLendon avenue, at end
of Inman Park to Clifton car line; thus fronting two
street car lines, giving rapid and easy access to At
lanta. The Clifton car goes through to Grant Park
without transfer.
This property is most desirable for many rea
sons:
First. It has unexcelled car service.
Second. It is midway between Atlanta, Ga., and
Decatur, Ga., thus making it in direct line of the im
provements which are rapidly extending up and down
the Georgia railroad from both of these municipalities.
Third. It is ib a settlement where you have
splendid neighbors, being a strictly home-owning, white
settlement.
Fourth. It is within three blocks of the new brick
public school of Edgewood City.
Fifth, and best of all. It is convenient to indus
tries of all kinds where high-priced employment can
be had, being only five minutes’ ride from the Georgia
and L. & N. roundhouse, opposite Inman Park.
Sixth. It is only 15 minutes ride from the city
of Atlanta, and 15 minutes’ ride from Decatur, Ga.
Seventh. It will be sold at prices and on terms
where anybody can and should afford to own a few lots.
Eighth. It is a good investment for home or for
renting. Four-room cottages rent readily in this local
ity for $15 per month. They would make a paying
investment. There are no vacant houses to be had
and a crying demand exists for the same.
Terms of the sale will be $25 Cash and $5 per
Month, payable on or before at 6 per cent, interest.
