No optohmo and is credited with stating openly that Darrow's argument was almost enough to convict an innocent man. The statement of a split between Hay- wood and Moyer is most positively de- nied by both men. The report doubt- less originated through the fact that they did not leave for Boise together. This much is certain, that President Moyer disapproved any celebration at Denser last Sunday, firmly holding that it should be deayed until Petti- bone has had his trial. Moyer is pro- foundly interested in Pettibone, and would have stayed right by him in Boise could he have done so, his feel- ing and interest apparently being much deeper than Haywood's. la/Captain Wilson S. Swain, assistant general manager of the Thiel Detec- tive Service company, is back from Boise, where he has been engaged the greater part of the time since the as- sassination of former Governor Frank Steunenberg, nearly two years ago. Captain Swain, while not agreeing with the twelve jurors who freed W. D. Haywood, secretary of the Ameri- can Federation of Miners, of a charge of murder, as to the guilt of Haywood, declares that the verdict was the only possible outcome under the circum- stances. He says there is no doubt in his mind of the guilt of Haywood and other officers of the federation, but that the prosecution was so handicap- Ped by a bungled investigation that no other result could hasie been ex- pected. He lays the Nene for Hay - wood's escape on James McFarland Of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, who, lie says, jumped into print pre- maturely with Orchard's confession. He asserts that had McFarland kept silent after obtaining the Orchard con- fession. practically every detail of the confessed murderer's statement could have been eatablished by evidence, documentary and otherwise. After the confession of Orchard was given out, he asserts, individuals who might have substantiated much of the story ot murders and dynamitings sought hid- ing places, while the miners' union shut off many of the channels by which valuable state's evidence might have been obtained.

Arrest of Orchard. \Harry Orchard was arrested about January 1, 1906,\ said Captain Swain yesterday, \by citizens at Caldwell, after being apprehended by George Froman, of Caldwell, and Joseph Hutchinson, of Boise, Idaho. He was arrested with other suspects and thrown into the Caldwell county jail. About that time Sheriff Angus Suther- land, of Wallace, Idaho, and myself ar- rived on the ground and took up the investigation. We proceeded to the county jail, and in looking over the for the defense in the Haywood case, suspects came to the conclusion that E. F. Richardson, of Denver, will not Oichard, who was then known as take part in the defense, and in all Thomas Hogan, was the guilty man. probability Clarence Darrow, of Ctil- After Orchard was brought into the 1 cago, will not either. Mr. Richardson jail office Sutherland was introduced most strongly disapproved of Darrow's to him as Murphy, whereupon Orchard talk to the jury in the Haywood case, said: 'That's not Murphy; he's Angus Sutherland of Wallace.' \After questioning Hogan carefully regarding his past he admitted that his correct name was Harry Orchard; that he had known Jack Simpkins and many leaders of the Western Federa- tion of Miners; also that he had visit, ad the Coeur d'Alenes in October, 1905; that he had met Jack Simpkins and other federation men there and later had visited the upper St. Joe country in company with Simpkins, later returning to Caldwell, and that Simpkins had visited him in south Ida- ho while he was there. After Orchard returned to the jail following these admissions to Sheriff Sutherland and myself, Sheriffs Nichols of Caldwell and Sutherland of Wallace and myself proceeded to open Orchard's trunk and baggage, and a careful investigation was made of the contents. \Here is what we found, among oth- er evidence: One pair of lace shoes, wet, which corresponded with the tracks found near the Steuenberg res- idence; one Winchester shotgun, No. 12, breakdown; 1 pump gun, Winches- ter model of 1897, takedown; I strip- ed mask such as is used by hold up men, 1 pair of field glasses in case, the one, he used in looking over the Steunenberg residence; 1 flashlight, 1 Colt automatic revolver with shoulder strap, loaded in barrel and in maga- zine. On the top of the trunk the first article discovered was a postal card addressed to Charles H. Moyer, presi- dent of the Western Federation of Miners, Denver. Colo., sending him P Christmas greeting. Trunk Evidence Incriminating. \The discoveries made in the trunk thoroughly convinced Sheriff Suther- land and myself that Orchard was the man wanted and everything indicated that he was the assassin of Governor Steunenberg. at which time I reported to the committee, Governor Gooding and all the officials that Orchard, alias Hogan, had undoubtedly assess,. nated Steunenberg and that under proper conditions it was my judgment that he ewould make a full confes- sion of the crime. Later repeated ef- forts were made by Sheriff Nichols and myself to induce Orchard to make a statement_confeasing _the murder, but owing to the croii d condition of the 24 -foot jail, anti the fact that he was being bolstered tip all the time by hie associates, who were about 15 In number, it was impossible to get him to talk, a fact which I reported to the committee, urging that he be taken to the penitentiary or some- where, as I was positis e that under dif- ferent f thedoitio rin he make a full re - tinu tail ed te i r, n a t n h d e i b n o v u e t s t c l g a t i i w O l , w a as i con facts - obtainable were secured. Simpkins was identified by photographs as being the man who had accompanied Orchard on frequent occasions about Caldwell, and after considerable friction between Canyon county officials and the gov- ernor, it was arranged for Orchard to be taken to the penitentiary. About that time James McFarland, manager of the Pinkerton detective agency at Denver, appeared on the ground. McParland Steps Into Case. \I was assigned to the outside work by Governor flooding. McFarland was given charge of the work at Boise and assumed care of Orchard in the peni- tentiary, succeeding in getting a con- fession exactly as I positively knew and stated that any one could under proper conditions, Orchard, in my judgment, being anxious to unburden himself to some one of the crimes he had committed. I continued to serve Governor Gooding and the committee for some time, looking up various mat- ters of evidence throughout the coun- try, but was never allowed to see Or- chard after he reached the peniten- tiary and after McFarland assumed Charge of the Boise end of the trans- action. \The confession made to McFarland by Orchard is true. I thoroughly be- lieve that Orchard is telling the truth from start to finish. He made a most remarkable witness on the stand. In fact, I do not think another witness like him has ever appeared before a jury. \But here the blunder was made. McFarland was so afraid that some one else would get ahead of him that he had the fact that he had obtained a confession published broadcast. The result was that witnesses who could have been obtained under proper con- ditions to corroborate every statement made by Orchard flew to the four winds of the earth. On the other hand, the Western Federation of Miners got busy to close the mouth of any one who might aid the prosecution by any slip of the tongue. Others who knew of the truth of Orchard's statements closed up like clams in terror of the miners' union. From that time on Mc- Farland began to write his hellfire dope, including stories of what 'I did' to the Molly Maguires and the Foca- telo discoveries. Instead of making himself solid he caused not only him- self to be discredited, but cast a damp- er on the prosecution that worked to the end of acquittal for Haywood. McFarland Neglected Evidence. \I do not wish to criticise the meth- ods employed by McFarland in getting the confession, but where I find fault is with -his having devoted time and attention to strongly playing hinulelf up before the country, when he should have been silent regarding the con- fession, applying himself instead to gathering doduffentary evidence of a corroborative character before explod- ing. This evidence, which was so wide- ly boasted, failed utterly to material- ize In the trial. \I attribute the verdict a great deal to the instructions of Judge Wood, which left no opening for a conviction. - • 1 Attorney Hawley and Senator Borah, I believe, made efforts unsurpassed in criminal history to the end that Jus- tice might be served, and no blame at- taches to them for the escape of the federation secretary. \The statement of McFarland, made July 1, in an Interview regarding the Thiel Detective Service being employ- ed by Fred Miller of Spokane, federa- tion attorney, to look up evidence at Denver, is absolutely false. This ag- ency has never in the past and never In the future will serve the Federa- tion of Miners nor any of Its mem- bers, and an effort on McParland's part to convince our clients and the public that we have or will serve the federation Is another evidence of his miserable attempts to boost himself and his agency. My honest opinion is that there will never be a member of the Federation of Miners convicted as long as McFarland has anything what- ever to do with the prosecution. He has become so thoroughly discredited that it is out of the question for a conviction.\ Men Past Sixty In Danger. hiore than half of mankind over sixty years of age suffer from kidney and bladder disorders, usually enlarge- ment of prostate glands. This Is both painful and dangerous, and Fo- ley s Kidney Cure should be taken at the first sign of danger, as it cor- rects irregularities and has cured many old men of this disease. Mr. Rodney Burnett, Rockport, Mo., writes* \I suffered with enlarged prostate gland and kidney trouble for years and after taking two bottles of Foley's Kid- ney Cure I feel better than I have for twenty years, although I am now 91 years old.
