HAYWOOD TRIAL
a DRAGGING ALONC.
PROSECUTION  OFFERED  IMPORTANT  EVIDENCE YESTERDAY.
HARRY ORCHARD WAS RECALLED
Defense  Vigorously  Attacked  Letters
and Story About Them, But WIU
ness Remains firm.
BOISE, Ida., June 18.—The prosecution in tbe Steunenberg murder trial
offered one of its most important
pieces of evidence against William D.
Haywood today, when, recalling Harry
Orchard for redirect examination, it
introduced four letters tending to show
that Haywood, during tbe fall of 1905,
when Orcharu swears he was engaged
on various crimes tor the Federation
leaders, had participated in a plan to
deceive Mrs. Orchard of Cripple Creek
as to the whereabouts of her husband.
Ower a variety ot protests bf the defense, Orchard was allowed to testify
that early in the summer of 1905 Hay-
woou told him that Mrs. Orchard was
writing for Information as to Orchard's
whereabouts. Orchard swore that he
wrote Mrs. Orchard a series of letters
tbat Were falsely dated and delivered
to Mrs. Orchard by agents of the Western Federation of Miners. Orchard
said tbat be flrst wrote two. letters,
dated San _ ranclsco, and bad them delivered through Paddy Mulliney, who
represented the federation at Cripple
Creek. Orchard identified tbe two fetters and overruling all objections of
tbe defense, Judge Wood admitted
them. Next Orchard swore tbat he
wrote a third letter purporting to come
from Nome, Alaska, and that under tbe
general arrangement he had made
with the Federation officers, Marian
Moore carried the letter to Nome,
wbere he went as organiser tor the
Federation, and posted it. This letter,
bearing the date of Nome, Aug. 5, 1905,
was produced, identified and admitted
as evidence. Orchard tben identified
a letter whtob Haywood wrote to Mrs.
Orchard and that was admitted as evidence. The three letters written by
Orchard were commonplace and contained nothing bearing on the case or
Orchard's testimony except references
to tbe arrangement which Orchard
says he made with the Federation officers for tae care of hts wife when
be was absent.
The defense attacked the letters and
G""hurd's story about them when it
g\ ihance to cross-examine the witness; _. Orchard held to the story he
told about tbem.
To combat the theory tbat Orchard
killed Steunenberg in revenge for his
loss of a valuable interest ln the Hercules mine, the state, on re-direct examination, obtained from Orchard a
declaration that he sold his interest
in the Hertmles in 1897, two years before tne strike began and troops came.
The defense attempted to modify this
by getting the witness to admit that
he had not sold his interest ib tbe
Hercules, but had pledged it, and could
have titten It back any time up to bis
flight from North Idaho before the oncoming troops, but Orchard adhered
to the statement that he bad sold outright.
There was a' long contest over an
effort by the state to show that tiie
confession of Steve Adams bad been
voluntary. It maintained that Adams
bad once discussed the matter freely
witn Attorneys Hawley and Borah.
That was about as far as It got, the
court sustaining a series of objections
from the defense.
At the opening of the morning session the defense asked Orchard a
series of impeaching questions. They
all dealt with conversations ln which
1- is alleged Orchard recited his private grudge against Frank Steunenberg and vowed tbat be would kill bim
if he hanged, for it. Orchard denied
every query both specifically and generally:
Ed. Boyce, once president of the
Western Federation of Miners and now
one of the owners of the rich Hercules
mine, oame after Orchard and was
still on the stand when the court rose
for the day. He was called to identify toe Miners' magazine as the official organ of the Federation and to
pave the way for use In evidence of a
great number, of articles from the magazine. The defense has tbe articles
tat examination tonight and the question over their admissibility will come
up In the morning.
Federation Assessment.
DENVER, Col., June 18.—Among
a number of resolutions Introduced to*
day at the convention of the Western
Federation of Miners was one tor a
general assessment of $2 on each
member of the organization of the defense fund of Moyer, Haywood and
Pettibone. Another resolution amends
the ritual by providing that there shall
be nothing in the obligation whlcb
shall be contrary to any member's duty
to his God, bis oountry or his fellow
men.
Probably Jack Simpkins.
FORT COLLINS, Col., June 18.—

NEW YORK, June 18.—Enraged because some roguish scbooi boys had
tumbled -aver ber while playing a Street
piano in the lower West Side today,
Philomena Castino, a young Sicilian
girl, drew a stilletto from the folds or
her dress and fatally stabbed Charles
McCarthy, a young man, In the breast.
McCarthy will probably die. The gin
was arrested with her companion,
Theresa Christopher, who is held as a
witness.
Philomena was grinding out lovely
airs to the delight of a swarm of children, who were dancing to the music
On the sidewalk. Theresa was collecting the pennies from the orowd. A
boy was seen to playfully Shove McCarthy, who was standing on the curb,
out into the street. McCarthy lost his
balance and bumped into the girl who
was knocked down. Her face distorted
with rage Philomena leaped to her feet
and drawing a long thin stilleto from
her dress, plunged the blade into McCarthy's breast. The two girls started
to run, dragging their heavy street
piano behind them, but. the school
children crowded about them and
hindered tbeir progress until a policeman arrived. The wounded young
man and the two girls were taken to
the station house where the Philomena
girl again tried to stab McCarthy as be
lay on the station house floor. The girls
were finally quieted and taken to cells.
Neither of them ls much, over 20 years
of age.
McCarthy was later taken to the hospital, where It was said he will die.
PRESIDENT TOOK NO PART

Statement Yesterday.
-OYSTER BAY, N. Y., June 18.—A
disclaimer of any activity on the part
of President Roosevelt in tbe New
York apportionment flght was made
by Secretary Loeb today upon bis return to the executive offices on Sagamore Hill.   The secretary said:
"These statements tbat have been
appearing in the newspapers that tbe
President bas interfered in any apportionment Ibatter are so absurd that tt
is hardly worth while to mention them.
The President has not only [taken no
hand in any way or the other, but has
not the slightest knowledge at either
scheme of apportionment and has not
only never expressed an opinion, but
has not been consulted about either
plan. If he has been Consulted he
would of course have declined to ex-
preps any opinion whatever concerning either."

SCRANTON, Pa., June 18.—Seven
men were killed outright and two others injured in two explosions of mine
gas in the Johnson No. 1 mine at
Priceburg this afternoon. The flrst explosion occurred at 2:80 o'clock and
was caused by the carelessness of a
door tender, who by leaving a door
open allowed gas to accumulate In the
workings.
One man was injured as a result of
the flrst explosion. He was removed
to the surface and taken to the hospital for treatment The second explosion, whlcb resulted ln tbe death of at
least seven men and the injury of another, ooourred at 4:80 o'clock and resulted from the ignition of the deadly
fire damp Which accumulated after the
flrst explosion.
Of eight men who were working in
the main gangway at the time of the
explosion only one is living, the rest
having been killed Instantly. The
dead:
WILLIAM WEISNER, aged 30 years,
miner, married; leaves wife.and five
ohildren.
FRANK BURDOCK, 24 years of age,
electrician; single.
WALTER KILLAVAGE, 28 year* Of
age.
JOHN KILLAVAGE, 24 years of age,
brother of Walter.
JOHN DIMION, aged 25 years.
MIKE SHINISKI, aged 19 years.
ONE UNIDENTIFIED MAN, so badly mangled It Is impossible to determine bis age.
The last Ave above named were laborers. A runner, who was near the
foot of the shaft when the second explosion occurred, quiokly gave the
alarm. A rescue party was quickly
formed and hurried to the scene of thej
explosion. Three men were found to
be dead and the other four nearly so.
The latter four were- hurriedly removed to ambulances, but died before
pnysiclans reached them.
All the victims are frightfully burned
and mangled, the clothing being
burned off most of tbem, and identification being made in most instances
by their shoes.
News of the explosion spread rapidly
through the village of Priceburg, a.
little mining hamlet Just north oa_
Scranton, ln which the Johnson mine
is located, and wives and children apd
other relatives of those who are employed in the mine hurried to the
breaker, anxious to learn whether
their loved ones were among the victims. So badly disfigured were the
remains of those who were killed accidentally that Identification at that
time was impossible and the wildest
excitement prevailed, the foreigners
being uncontrollable, believing in their
apprehensive condition that one or
more of the victims was a relative.
Wdmen wrung their hands, the children cried and pandemonium reigned.
Harsh measures had to be pursued by
tbe mine officials to keep the crowd-
back and hundreds followed the ambulances to the undertaking shops as
the victims were borne thence. It was
with the greatest difficulty that any
authentic news of tho accident could
be learned because of the excitement
which prevailed and at midnight it
was not known whether others still
remained in the mine. Rescuing parties are underground looking for other
victims, but their efforts are greatly,
hindered because of the fire damp that.
always follows an explosion of this
kind.
Aoout 1,500 men work in the mine,
but as no account was kept of those
who had come ont before the explosion occurred it is impossible to determine until the rescuing party returns if the present death list is complete.
Fell In Cleveland Hotel, Breaking His
Thigh ami Spraining  Wrist.
J. G. Benton of North Washington
street, general superintendent of the
Tidewater Pipe company, fell upon a
stairway in the Hollenden hotel, Cleveland, Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock.
His right leg was broken at the thigh
and his right wrist was sprained. He
arrived in Titusville on a special train
over the Pennsylvania railroad at 11
o'clock last night and Is now at the
family residence.
Mr. and Mrs. Benton and their son
and daughter,' O. L. Benton and Miss
Jessie Benton, left Cambridge Springs
Monday morning for a trip across
country to Cleveland in their automobile. The journey was completed in
safety. Yesterday morning, in descending the stairs at the Hollenden,
where the family were staying, Mr.
Benton slipped and fell three or four
steps. It is said that the hall was but
dimly lighted and this probably had
something to do with causing the accident. Dr. Ormsby, a Cleveland surgeon, attended his injuries and he left
Cleveland for home over the. Erie railroad, the members of the family accompanying him. Friend's here were
notified of the accident early in tbe
day. It was expected that the train
would reacn Oorry over the Brie In
time to- make connections with tbe
evening train due in Titusville at
about 8 o'clock. An accident of some
character at Millvillage delayed the
train, so that Corry was not reached
until 9:30 last night. A special train
was immediately provided.
Dr. W. O. 'Johnston, the family physician, and Miss Nellie Benton of New
York, a trained nurse and a niece of
Mr. Benton, went to Corry on tbe
Buffalo special at 5:18 Tuesday afternoon. Tbey took a cot and comfortable arrangements for the care of tiie
Injured man. Upon the arrival of the
special at the Pennsylvania depot Mir.
Benton was taken to his home in the
hospital ambulance and at a late hour
last night was in as comfortable a condition as the trying circumstances
would permit. He has been in rather
poor health during the spring, but
lately had been Improving somewhat.
Mr. Benton ia 72 years of age and an
injury of this character is most lamentable. Heretofore he has been
very active in his business and an enforced idleness of several months will
be a trying ordeal. He will have the
best wishes of a host of friends
throughout the Pennsylvania oil country, where his frequent visits and his
prominent position had made him well
known.
