Boise, Idaho July Le -Beginning with der in the Vindicator mineband en ©vI e show that the daths were accidental. They even go so far as to assert that Orchard draws on his imagination in his relation.. of his connection with the Vindierare mine and the Independence depot, and:, that he was not there at all. On the;' other hand, counsel for the'Btate do' not seem to be disturbed. It is stated most positively that the cross-examina- tion and rebuttal will show that the,de- fence has built up a clever fabrication that will fall under rebuttal like a house of cards, it was quite evident from the state- ments made by Mr. Darrow that the de- fence proposes to admit the connection. between Orchard and Haywood, and they admit that Orchard was at one time em- ployed by Moyer. But it is claimed that these connections were perfectly legitimate and had nothing to do with a conspiracy; that Orchard was a trai- tor and that he sought employment and connection with the officers of the West- ern Federation under the guise of a union workman and a member of the Masonic fraternity, all the time being a detective employed by mine owners and their detectives. The one great crime, the defence ad- mit, that Orchard committed is the mur- der of Steunenberg, and running through the whole of the testimony will be the motive Orchard had in. seek. verge on the man who, as he thous;- liad robbed him of his rich interest in the Hercules mine. Mr. Darrow characterized Orchard during his address as follows: `Harry Orchard was a cheap soldier of fortune, a shoestring gambler, who had never done a day's work in his life, Ile owned a sixteenth share of the Her- cules mine, but sold it because of his needs and continued his gambling. We e will show that he did not participate in most of the crimes of which he has here boasted.. I don't like to take any of the bloom off a peach like that, but while we will show he is not the murder-. a number of crimes. inc defence pose- r, er he boasts himself, we will compen- tively states that it is net their inten- sate him by proving him to be the most tion to convict the mine owners of mur- monumental liar that ever existed.* the appearance of the first witness for dependence depot, w he In - killed, but they the defence on the stand. to -day, the ;story of Harry Orchard's life will be traced by a suceession of witnesses call- ed, not to sustain, but to contradict all 'the material facts testified to by the chief witness against Wm. D. Haywood. Orchard himself will be in. court again to -day, and counsel for the defence will lay the foundation for his impeachment. The presentation by Clarence Darrow, the attorney who is conducting the de- fence, has cleared the stage for the new interpretation of motive on the part of the chief actor, as the defence claiins, the puppet, who played the principal part in the many tragedies and stirring events between the year 1899, when the troubles in the Couer d.'Al.eves reached their height, and the close of 1905, when former txovernor Steunenberg was as- sassinated, followed by the arrest and confession of Orchard and the arrest of Haywood, Moyer and Pettibone early in 1960. Darrow's development of the mo- tive the defence attribute to Orchard and his explanation of the circumstances on which the State of Idaho bases its claim that he is guilty in common with Pettibone and :1toyerpof a conspiracy to murder the leaders in the fight against the methods of the Western Federation of Miners, opens a field for conjecture. 'The defence claim they will, through their witnesses, be able to completely convince the public and j ury that for years a conspiracy existed among the refine owners and employers of labor in ' the States of Idaho and Colorado' to wipe union labor from the mining field. After Orchard is examined to -day the evidence for the defence will open ,with Colorado and Cripple Creek.

New York, July 1.—MissOuila Mor- osini, whose extravagance in the mat- ter of dress has made her famous, ap- pears to be the obj.st of envy and jealousy of some persons who have taken to writing letters to the daugh- ter of the multi -millionaire banker threatening to do her harm. So per- sistent have been her annoyers that the family has become much alarmed and has kept her almost a prisoner in Elmhurst, her beautiful home at Riverdale on the Hudson. A daring attempt to steal from Tiffany's the $1,000 gold cup that Mies Morosini put up as a prize for the Riders and Drivers' Association is believed to be connected with the campaign of threatening - let- ters A man who represented himself as a messenger from Miss Morosini called at Tiffany's and stated that ho had been sent to carry the cup to her. The management became suspicious and refused to deliver the cup, It afterward turned out that the man was an impostor. Though her friends fear that she is in actual danger of violence, Miss Morosini does not seem to mind it. Sh is an expert with pistol and rifle, an excellent horsewoman and has the reputation of being absolutely fearless. She is remaining indoors at Elmhurst under protest, for she has strong faith in. her ability to take care of• herself. And it also is against her_,,AvJ that she has followed the advice 'of,.a friend and ceased wearing white when she distributes candy • to the children in her town. The friend thought it • made her too conspicuous. Miss Morosini says she can't imagine who could accuse her of unwomanly things and threaten her, though a strange woman has been seen loitering about the estate and questioning ser- vants about her. Though Miss. Morosini has been bitterly criticised by anony- mous critics because she sometimes buys gowns that cost several thousand dollars each and spends other thous- ands on jewels and horses, she had her own theories as to the best nee of her income. She says the money in- vested in wearing apparel is a payment to the men and women employed in the making of laces and drese stuff and hence it is circulated in a worthy cause. The money invested in her stables she considers a good invest- ment, as she pays good -wages:IQ 'h, number of trainers, coachmen -and grooms. in finally at 2 o'clock this morning.

Calgary, Alta., July 1.—A warrant 3e out for the arrest of George Mc- Neill, who is charged with inducing by false pretences Mr. Downey, real estate agent, to make investments.

Among those taken was James Smith, the alleged ringleader of the illicit distil- lers in that section, and at one time a government revenue collector. The cap- ture was effected by surrounding the camp of the moonshiners, who surrender- ed after a fight, lasting 15 or 20 minutes.
