THREE WITNES3ES ASSERT THEY
HAD NO PARTMN CRIMES.
MAX MALICH ON THE STAND
Bays Orchard Proposed Destroying
Nonunion Hotel and the Killing of
M'Donald Detective McParland's
Brother Testifies for Defense.
HoIko, Ida., July 3. Max Mallcli, Joo
Mehlllct and Billy Alkmnn, three of
tho men variously Implicated In al
leged misconduct nt Glouovllle, Denver
und Cripple Creek, on the word of
Harry Orchard, went to the stand aa
wltnesHeH for William D. Haywood and
made denial of Orchard's testimony.
M alien awore that Orchard nnd not
he suggested the inhiunnu plot of dy
namiting a hoarding house full of non
union smeltermen at Globovllle, and
that Orchard originated the Idea of
killing William McDonald, one of
Mnllch'e business rivals. He said that
he had been burned by some mysteri
ous ncld thrown into his house by an
unknown hand, but denied that the
ncld was really "Pettibone dope" thnt
had been left in his room by Steve
nnd Annie Adams. He also denied that
"Pettibone dope" had been used In
burning his store, nnd testified thnt ho

wns at his ranch when the firo oc
curred He also swore thnt Orchard
had told him thnt but for Governor
Kteunenberg ho would be rich and
that ho Intended- to kill Steunenberg.
Mehlllct and Alkmnn, who followed
Mallcb, also made positlvo and cir
cumstantial denlnls of all the things
Orchard swore they did with him.
Attorney E. F. Richardson conducted
the examination.
The cross-examination of all threo
witnesses showed a purpose on tho
part of the state to further dcnl with
their testimony when the ense in re
buttal Is reached. When Orchnrd Is
recalled he will be asked to give his
version of the nlleged uso of "Petti
bone dopo" In burning Malich's store
nt Gjobevllle.
Another unusunl feature was con
tributed to this unusual crime with Its
background of plots nnd counter-plots,
criminal, industrial and political, by
the appearance as a wltiiess for tho
defense ol E. L. McParland, a brother
of Detective James McParland, who
worked up the case against Haywood,
Mojer and Pettibone and obtained Or
rahrd's conleasion. This McPirland
Is a shoem'nker at Maultou nnd he
f.axn? to tell that while ho was follow
ing his peaceful craft nt Victor during
the strike he wns unceremoniously
lakcu from his last by tho militia,
thrust Into the "bull pen" and then
deported.
Eugene Engleo, formerly attorney
general of Colorado, swore that Or
chard told him of the loss of n rich
t,hare In the Hercules mine and of his
Intention to kill Steunenberg. Engleo
told at great length how the military
authorities nt Crllple Creek defied the
processes of tho civil courts, how ho
was himself deported from Tellurldo,
where ho went as counsel for the fed
eration, and how ho wns later deport
ed from Cripple Creek tho day tho
mob destroyed the union store at Gold
field. His nlry Into extended descrip
tions and minute details brought mnny
objections and finally the judge In
tervened to limit Inm to the mateil.il
facts to save tho time of tho court
r.nd jury.
The defense nlso produced Thomas
C. Foster, now a bartender nt Wsbee,
Ariz., who was as a union miner

GINCfNNAri"lUlLb PALLS !
Fifty-Two Workmen Have Miraculous
Escape from Death.
Cincinnati, July 3. Fifty-two men
had a remarkable escnpe from death
In tne collapsing of a four-story busi
ness block on Mntu street, only ten
being Injured nnd none of those dan
gerously. The accident was caused
by the weakening of foundations by
the excavation being made at tho '
corner of Ninth and Main streets for
the new ten-story building of the Sec
ond National bank. The building that
fell was occupied by the office furni
ture firm of Levy & White. Its outer
wall fell Into tho excavation, where
the laborers were enjoying their mid
day meal. Forty laborers were em
ployed on the Job and most of them
were seated around the excnvatlon
when the wall fell. In the wrecked
building were a dozen other men,
some pf whom were shot out through
the windows nnd wreckage Into the
streets. That numbers were not killed
outright seemtd little less than ml
raculous. However, the timbers In
falling formed arches, under which the
men were safely housed.
DEMAND FOR HARVEST HANDS

Cent a Mile on Kansas Roads.
Topeka, July 3. T. B. Gerrow, di

sociation, unking them to get together
at once nnd grant a rate of 1 cent n
mile for small pnitles of harvest
hands from nil eastern points. The
telcgrnins said that Kansas needs sev
eral thousand more men to harvest
the wheat crop. The free employment
bureau has been able to secure less
than 1,000 Lien thus far this season
nnd the demand is becoming urgent.

' Theie Is little chnnce to stop thCytiie,
us tho only means of fighting is with
I buckets. It Is Impossible to estimate
the loss already sustained or wheru
the conflagration will stop, us the
water supply is exhausted.
A correspondent of the Cohvyn Bay
' Herald describes n fierce fight between
a fox and n number of swans. Tho
fox. nfter hiding for awhile among
some reeds, boldly swam toward a
number of swans. The latter were on
the alert, however, nnd when within a
yard tho biggest bird attacked him
with wing und bonk, entirely submerg
ing him for two or three seconds.
Nothing daunted, the fox irtnde a final
nttaek, but Ignominious defeat awaited
him, ns nil the swans nrrayed them
selves In single file nnd made a de.sper
nto attack on their nssullajit, which
eventually landed nt the south side of
the lake, his blood covering the felt of
heather at tho far end. The swans np
peared to have sustained no Injury
whatever.
