place the Imperial family had Just re-j 1 :
moved , revolted against the strict discipline
'
cipline which recently had been instl-
luted by a new commander. The
trouble for a time threatened to
spread through the entire regiment , ! '
but the mutinous troopers were'
promptly surrounded and disarmed byi
other' troops and order was restored '

without bloodshed. The ringleaders
have already been turned over to a
court-martial.
There have been so many alleged
attempts lately upon the lives of mem-
bora of the imperial house of Russia
'
that scarcely a day passes without
adding to the number. The latest , according - | 1 I

deliberate design on the life of Grand

er brother of Emperor Nicholas. In ,
any event , a serious accident was narrowly - ,
rowly averted. The scene was the

those that had come before
Recounts List of Crimes.
1 Orcnard contessed that us a member
of the mob that wrecked the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mill In the Couur
d'Alenes i he lighted one of the fuses
that i carried lire to the giant explo
sion ; confessed that he set the death
trap In the Vindicator mine ut Cripple
Creek that blow out the lives of Su
perintendent McCormlck and Foreman
Deck ; confessed that because ho had
not been paid for his first attempt at
violence In the Vindicator mine ho
had been treacherous to his associates
by warning the managers of the Flor
ence and Cripple Creek railway that
there was a plot to blow up their
trains ; confessed that ho cruelly fired
three charges of buckshot Into the
body of Detective Lyte Gregory of
Denver , killing him instantly ; con
fessed that for days he btalked Gov
ernor Peabody about Denver , waiting
a chance to kill him ; confessed that
ho and Steve Adams set nd dis
charged the mine under the depot at
Independence , and confessed that fall
ing in an attempt to poison Fred Bradley -
ley of San Francisco , he blew him
and his house up with a bomb of gela
tine.
And ho has more brutal crimes to
tell that will bring his bloody career
down to Its end at Caldwell , where
with a great bomb he killed Governor
Steunenberg. These will como when
he resumes the stand. The story was
told to a tense-nerved , rigid crowd
that watched with staring eyes for
every move and word of the confess-
jing witness ; a crowd that was sickened -
ened and weary of its disgusting do-
tails long belore Jaiues H. Hawley ,
pleading illness of himself , secured
adjournment for the day.
Coolly Tells of Deeds of Murder.
Orchard retained control of himself
almost from the moment he took the
stand , and if he suffered much ho
he did not show It. Ills eyes were
bloodshot and his face mottled In
color when he came Into the room to
confront the man whoso life he jeop-
'ardlzes. He was plainlynervous. He
'seemed at first , to lose a little of his
'physical control , for he walked un
steadily as he neared the stand and
reached in an indefinite way for the
'arm of the chair. He had trouble In
finding his voice for a few minutes ,
but only for a few moments. Ho
'quickly steadied himself and was soon
talking in the soft , easy tones that
characterize his speech. His manner
was easy and his gaze steady in any
direction that a question claimed his
attention. His eyes blinked a little
when he told how he trailed and mur
dered Lyte Gregory , but his voice al
tered none in tone.
His eyes met those of Haywood sev
eral times and the two gazed fixedly
at each other In tests with honors even.
Orchard's Entry Dramatic.
Orchard's entry into the court room ,
after a dramatic pause , was Itself in
tensely dramatic. Five witnesses ,
who traced Horsley and Jack Simp-
kins at various times prior to the
Btounenberg murder at Caldwell , con
sumed the first hour of the morning
session. The door then swung open
and in marched Orchard , led by Sheriff
Ucamcr and followed by two penlten
tiary guards and two detectives , all
armed. There were a few prellml

He said he and Adams wore told to

bone suggested that they kill Lyto
Gregory , who had been a deputy slier
Iff and had given testimony against
Bomo members of the federation. The
witness then detailed the relentless
trailing of Gregory and his final mur
der. "Grqgory turned and backed up
against a fence , " said the witness , "as
If to draw a gun. and I shot him three
limes It rertalnly killed him. " This
tale of cowardly , brutal man hunting
and killing seemed to play with great
er Intensity upon the nerves of the
men and women who sat listening to
Horsley than any of the others and a j
perceptible shudder went through the
room as he ralmly talked of the shoot
ing It was the only place where a
victim had been actually faced. The
others had boon done to death by me
chanical and chemlral contrivances.
Then came the ( rightful tragedy at
Independence , followed by the flight
to Wyoming and after that the trip
to San Frnnr-lfico for the purpose of
killing Bradley. Orchard swore that ,
after his visit to Denver , when he got'
the money for killing McCromlck and
Beck , he was constantly In communi
cation and In the pay of either May-
wood. Meyer , Pettlbone , Slmpklns or
Davis ; that one or nil of them sug
gested his various crimes , and that nt
all meetings held after each crime his
acts had been warmly commanded.
