8 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.

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. S. B. Turman & Co.
