Former Ontario: Cheosemaker's Tale of Cold- Blooded Assassination. . --" Orchard described the Cour d'Alene] maciy eee A despatch from Boise, Idaho, says: For three hours and half on Wednesday Harry Orchard sat in the witness chair at the Haywood trial and recited a his tory of crimes and bloodshed, the lik of which no person in the crowd court room had ever imagined. There was nothing theatrical about the ap- pearance on the stand of this witness upon whose teslimony the whole case against Haywood, Moyer and the other leaders of the Western Federation of Miners is based. It was a horrible, +e- volting, sickening story, but he told il as simply as the plainest narration of "the most ordinary incident of the most humdrum existence, To Haywood the story was of vital interest. He sat with his lawyers sur- rounding him in such a position that he could fix his gaze on Orchard unin- terruptedly, but so placed that oniy those very near his chair could see his face. From first to jast he gave un- wavering attention, and when occa- sionally Orchard turned his eyes on his cld comrade whom he was denouncing @s a procurer of assafsination Haywood met them squarely and _ umnflinchingly. 'Mrs. Haywood sat beside her husband gli day, but their daughters did not come to court until the afternoon. Hay- wood's mother, Mrs. Crothers, and his half-sister, Miss Crothers, sat near his wile. AN ONTARIO MAN. Harry Orchard when Called to the siand and sworn gave his residence as the penilentiary. "Are you charged with any crime?" asked Mr. Hawley of the prosecution. "I am charged with the murder of Frank Steunenberg and waiting trial. Answering further questions, he con- tinued: "I was born in Northumberland county, Ontario, Canada, in 1866, and am, therefore, 41 years old. Orchard is not my true name. gone by that name for about eleven "years. My true name {is Alfred Hors- ey. 1 came to the United States in 1896, first {o Spokane, where I remain- ed a week. I went to Wallace, Idaho, in March or April, 1896. 1 first worked for Markel Brothers, driving a milk wagon, and remained there unti] about Christmas, 1896. I then went to a wood and coal yard in Burke, Idaho, and was engaged in that business until the spring of 1899, and on my own ac- ecunt for two years. In 1898 I sold a half interest in the business to Mr. Mc- Alpine. My business in Canada was making cheese. I sold all my interests in the wood yard and went to work mucking in the mines in March, 1899, continuing at it for a month. I immedi- ately became a member of the Western Federalion of Miners." ~~ COUR D'ALENE TROUBLES. cuntry, giving the-rafiway connections between the different cies and mining camps. -"State what unusual occurrence there Was at Burke upon the morning cf 'April 29, 1899," commanded M. Hawley. "On the morning of April 29, 1899," said the witness. "when I got through | breakfast I was told there was a special meeting of the union and everybody was expected to be present. I went to the meeting. The meeting was called to ovfier by the secretary, who said, it had been decided that day to go to Ward- ner to blow up the mill at the Sulli- van and Bunker Hill mines and to hang the superintendent. SEIZED NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN. "Arrangements had been made to cut the wires along the railroad and take possession of the Northern Pacific train. At Gem we were to be joined by the Gem Union, and together we were {o proceed to Wardner. While the Secretary was telling us what was anned by the Central Union the Pre- >. nt of our local came in and said "he had not been informed of the meel- ng.

After fhe vote nearly every man decided to 0. e cPaul Cochran and six other members of the union took charge of the train. We went to Gem and took forty boxes of giant powder. ORCHARD LIT ONE FUSE. "There were about t,000 men on the train, most of them armed. At Ward- ner we were told by W. F. Davis to line up. The men with long guns were told sto take the front ranks, followed by men with six-shoolers. We were told fo fire upon the mill as we approached. This we did, and the fire was returned by the guards. it soon developed that there were no men there, and we took possession. Powder was placed about dhe mill, and it was blown up. I tit one fuse; I don't know who lit the others." . Orchard said {wo men were killed. The name of then Governor Steunen- berg, he said, was mentioned at the meeting he had described. Orchard added that Haywood paid him $300 fr blewing up the Vindicator ming, and egreed with him for other murders. A CATALOGUE OF CRIME. addition Orchard confessed that the dealh-trap in the Vindicator p at Gripple Creek which killed erintendent McGormick and Foreman gontessed that - because he had he Fave" 'outside the gate, wilh not been paid for his first allempt at violence in the Vindicator mine he was treacherous to his associates in warn- ign the managers of the Florence & Cripple Creek Railway that there was a plot to blow up their trains; confessed that he cruelly fired three charges of -uckshot into the . body of Detective Lyte Gregory of Denver, killing him in- slantly; confessed that for days he dc gged Governor Peabody of Colorado about Denver for a chance to kill him; confessed that he and Steve Adams et and discharged the mine under the sta- tion at Independence which instantly killed fourteen men, and confessed that, failing in an attempt to poison Fred. Pradley of San Francisco, he blew him and his house up with a bomb of geia- line po MORE He has more brutal crimes to tell of, which will bring his bloody career down to Caldwell, where with a great bomb be killed Steunenberg. The story was told before an. anxious crowd, which staringly watched every movement and word of the witness; a crowd that sick- ened and grew weary of the fearful details. IN PAY OF THE DEFENDANTS. Orchard swore that after his visit to Denver when he got the money for kill- ing McCormick and Beck he was con- stantly in communication and in the pay ct either Haywood or Moyer or Petti- bone, Perkins or Davis; that one or all cf them suggested his various crimes and that at all meetings held after each crime his acts were warmly commend- ed ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATIONS. _ Thursday's murder record exhibited accounts of repeated attempts to assas- sinate Gov. Peabody, of Colorado, ex- Adjutant-General Sherman Bell, who commanded the Colorado militia at the strike of Cripple Creek in 1903, Jud Gabbert, and Judge Goddard, of the Colorado Supreme Court, who had ren- dered decisions against the strikers, and Fred Hearne, manager of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. None ofthese was successful, though one atlempt to get Judge Gabbert caused the death «f a mining engineer named Marion Wal- ley. This, aside from the Steunenberg murder, was the most tragic of lhe day's stories. Orchard said that Petti- bene and Haywood urged him to ast Judge Gabbert, and that he and Petti- bene made a bomb for that purpose. It was made like ali the bombs that Orchard has described. THE STEUNENBERG MURDER. Orchard was not asked to go into detail aboul the Steunenberg murder The story_has boea- toid often. But all the essential particulars, told how he and Simpkins has passed under the names of Hogan and Sim- monds, how they had made one bomb and set it in vain, howefie had tried vainly to shoot Steunenberg, and how h« and Simpkins made the bomb that finally killed the ex-Governor. He told how, on the evening of Dec. 80, he saw the ex-Governor silting in the lobby cf the Saratoga Holel, how he hustled up te his room and got the bomb. wrapped it up in @ newspaper, and hurried to the Steunenberg house and planted it the usual at- tachment of a string, fastened it to the ire and connecting with the deadly iitle bottle of acid. "I hurried away from the house then," he said, "and about two blocks away " passed the Governor. I ran as hard as I could then. I wanted to get back to the hotel before it went ctf, but I went info the bar-room and helped the bartender do up a package he was having trouble with. Then | went up to my room." Orchard said he had left a giant cap in his pocket and a bottle of acid, and the cork came out and set off 'the cap. It made a noise like a gun, he said, and he was afraid everybody wouid hear it. It burned his coat, too. "Then 1 went down stairs and went in to dinner," said the witness, and the dreadful tale was completed. The crowd in the court-room took a deep breath, the first for many minutes. Crchard blinked his eyes rapidly. It was the only trace of emotion he had shown during those two dreadful days. Hc was not near breaking down, how- ever, for while the lawyers whispered he volunteered a trivial correction cf one detail of his story. BAD REPUTATION IN ONTARIO. A despatch from Trenton, Ont., says: Alfred Horsley, alias Orchard, the self- ecnfessed murderer at Boise, Idaho, was well known here; his father and brother still reside on the homestead in Murray Township, about eight miles from Trenton. He bore a very unsav- ory reputation, was a cheesemaker at Wooler and Brighton factories, and jeft Canada in 1896. Before he left il was said that he removed all the cheese out of the factory in which he was working and then burned it down to secure the -insurance. When Horsley left the ccuntry it is said he went with a Campocilferd wo- man, who a month, Jaler reiuraed to her husband. His" wife was left ce serled, and lived at Wocler up to this Spring, where she supporied herself hy working in an evaporator factory. wder. : TALES OF HORROR TO COME. She has one litte girl.

The property damage is many thousands of acres of growing. crops destroyed. Gradyville, Kentucky, was the worst, sufferer. A cloudburst caused Big Creek, .to deluge that vilage of 175 persons on Saturday night, and 21 persons were, drowned or crushed by falling houses. The disaster was due to the erratic be-| havior of Big- Creek, which was already swollen by recent rains. When the cloudburst precipitated 6 inches of rain in an hour on Gradyville and vicinity, the creek took a hew course with the force of a tidal wave. Inhabitants of Gradyville were nearly all jn bed when the foaming waters struck the town, carrying away six residences, a mill and a number of small houses. At New Minden, Il., a tornado Satur-, - day morning killed five persons and in- jured six others. At York, Hl., three persons were killed and thirty injured by a tornado which descended on the town Friday, night. .
