6AN FRANCISCO SUPERVISORS SE
LECT NEW MAYOR.
Will Hold Position of Acting Mayor
Until Appointment of a Recponslblo
Citizen to Take His Place Other
Heads Likely to Fall.
Sim Francisco, June 18. Mayor
Schmltz was lormally removed 1mm
ofllco by the sunorvlsors. Sunurvluor
Jenies Gallagher waa named as act'ng
innyor In IiIb place.
This Is the first atop taken by the
graft prosecution In the execution of
their plan to restore good government
in this city. The ground on wl'Ieti
Mayor Schmltz was removed Is that
owing to his Incarceration In the coun
ty Jail following his conviction on a
felony charge he Is no longer able to
perform his olllcla! duties.
Gallagher will not hold the position
of acting mayor for more thanra few
days. The resignation of a certain
member of the board of supervisors
will make 100m for tbo appointment
of a responsible citizen who will take
Gallagher's place us acting mayor.
The man most persistently men
tioned for this place Js Attorney Jo
seph Dwycr, president of the Inde
pendence league, but that political
connection is said to render him unac
ceptable to Mr. Spreckles, tbo financial
guarantor of the whole bribery-graft
investigation.
The first act of the reform mayor, if
the prosecution's program is carried
out, will bo to demand the resignation
of practically the entire Schmltz
administration, whoso places will be
filled with reform agents as fast as
vacancies are ' created. Unless dis
turbed by the courts, tbo now regime
will endure until next January.
Mayor Schmltz, convicted last week
of the crime of extortion, remains a
prisoner In the city and county Jail.
The resolution declaring the may
or's chair vacant nnd appointing Su
pervisor Gallagher to All It was adopt
ed after a light on the Hoor. It was
opposed by Supervisors Tveltmoo and
O'Neill. It was voted for by twelve
supervisors, each of whose confos-

SWEARS HAYWOOD HELPED HIM
DECEIVE MRS. ORCHARD.
DAY OF DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE
Letters Produced Showing Collusion
With Defendant Witness Questioned
as to Whether He Had Vengeful
Spite Against Steunenbcrg.
HoIko, Ida., June 10. The prosecu
tion In the Steunenbcrg murder trial
offered one of Its most importnr.t
I pieces of evidence against William D.
Haywood, when, recalling Harry Or
chard for redirect examination, It In
troduced and secured the admission of
four letters tending to show that Hay
wood during; the fall of 1905, when Or-
,......, fi,V0HrB hl! ,.... ncnci!ii mi vnri
ous crlnica for thu fC(ierntIon lcmiers,
na(l participated In a plan to deceive
Mrs. Orchard, the se
cond, of Cripple
Creek as to the whereabouts of her
husband.
Over a variety of protests from the
defenso Orehnrd was allowed to testi
fy that early in the summer of 1905
Huywood told him that Mrs. Orchard
Wn9 writing him for Information as
to Orchard's whereabouts. Orchard
oworo that ho proposed that he should
write his wife a series, of letters that
were to bo falselv dated and dellv-
cr0,i to Mrs. Orchard by agents or
tbo federation.
ne aald that he first wrote two let-
terS( wncl, i10 aalcA nt snn Francisco
nml md them delivered through Paddy
Mitllaney, who represented the federa-
ton at cripple Creek. Orchard Ideu-
tifletl the two letters and, overruling
aii objections of the defense, Judge
wood admitted them.
fjoxt orchard swore that he wrote a
third letter, purporting to come from
Nome, Alaska, and that under tho

where he went as organizer of the fed
oration, and posted It. This letter,
bearing the date of Nome, Aug. 5,
1905, was produced, identified and ad
mitted as evidence.
From Haywood to Mrs. Orchard.
Orchard then identified a letter
which Haywood wrote to Mrs. Or
chard. It wus as follows:
"Denver, Nov. 18, 1905. Mrs. H. Or
chard: Dear Madam and Sister I
have not heard a word sluce 1 saw
you. The laBt information I got was
from Alaska- I think Fairfield was
tho nnme of tho place. I see that aw
ful conditions prevail among the law
and order element.
"WILLIAM D. HAYWOOD."
Tho defense attacked the letters
and Orchard's story about them when
It got a chunce to cross-examine tho
witness, but Orchard held to tho story
he told about them. The witness suc
cessively denied that he had made an
arrnngemont lor the delivery of the
letters to Pinkorton ngents; that the
letters had only mnde their appear
ance since he left tho stand last week
or that he had Invented the story be
causo his wifo had Haywood's letter
in her possession. He swore positive
ly that Haywood had agreed to write
tho Alaska letter and that Pettibonc
and Moyer knew of tho arrangement.
It was a day of correspondence and
documentary evidence. Ucside tho
four Snn Francisco-Alaska letters tho
state secured the admission of a cer
tified copy or tho unsigned letter
which Orchard got at Caldwell jail
and which Orehnrd swears was in tho
handwriting of Pettlbouo. The let
ter was as follows:
Letter Without Signature.
"December SO. Friend Tom: Your
letter received. That was'' sent to
Jack December 21 for you. Ho
should send It so that you ought to
havo It by this time. Will not write
any moro this time. Write mo as soon
as you get to your now field."
Tho letter was post marked at Den
ver on Dec. 30, tho day that Steunen
bcrg was killed, niU It is claimed by
Iho state that tho "Jack" mentioned
wns SImpklns and that tho "that" re
ferred to was $100 which Orchard
pworc lie asked SImpklns to secure for
him when ho was leaving Caldwell.
Tho state developed Its contention
that as tending to show a conspiracy
and knowledgo of tho Stcunenberg
crlmo Orchard was. without any ro
quest from him, furnished with conn-
' sol within a fow days after his arrest.
It first showed that Orehnrd. after
,,1(. arrost( Rent n0 communication
from tno Caldwell Jail, and then pro-
,mml nnrt BOCurod tho admission of
tll0 orBjnal of tho following tele-
gram:
"Spokane, Wash., January .1, 1900.
To T. Hogan, care sheriff, Caldwell,
Idaho. Attornoy Fred Miller will start
for Caldwell In morning. M. f9 Hyde
block."
Tho defenso examined Orchard on
this subject and largely devoted itself
to showing that tho Western Fcdera
Mon of Minors always provldod coun
sel for Its members 'wherever and
1 whenever they got Into trouble.
Fall t0 Show Revenge,
I To comuat tho theory Hint Orchard
I iditcil stcunenberg In rovongo for his
loss of a valuable Interest in tho Her
cules mine, the statn oi redirect exam
ination obtained from Orchard a decla
ration Mint he sold hla Interest in the
Hercules mine in 1807, two yenrs be
fore the strike and troops came. The
defense attempted to modify this by
getting the witness to admit that ho
had not foM ills Interest In the Her
cules, but hp.:l pledged It nnd could
have taken It back any time up to his
flight frftn northern Idaho, before the
on-eomlng troops, hut Orchard ad
hered to tho statement hat ho bad
Bold outright.
Thro waa a long contest over an
unniccessful effort by the state to
Gliow that the confession of Steve
Adams had been voluntnrlly. It main
tained that Adams had onco dis
cussed the matter freely with Attor
neys Hawley and Borah, but that was
nbout as far as It got, the court sus
taining a Berlcs of objections from
the defense.
Tho defense nskod Orchard a series
of impeaching questions. They all
dealt with conversations In which it
was alleged Orchard recited his pri
vate grudge against Frank Steunen
bcrg nnd vowed Mint ho would kill him
If he hanged for it. Orchard denied
every query, both specifically and gen
erally. 1M Boyce, once president of the
Western Federation of Minors and
now one of the owners of the rich
Hercules mine, came after Orchard
and was still on the stand when the
cour,t rose for the day.
