Orchard details Pinkerton pact to incite violence in Cripple Creek
In a dramatic interview, Orchard says under Pinkerton patronage he conspired with Haywood and Moyer to spur violent acts, deceiving Pinkertons while cooperating with them. He asserts advance orders to “cut things loose” and claims Haywood, Moyer, and Pettibone later approved the Cripple Creek depot blast. He admits no direct link by Haywood to Lyte Gregory’s murder before its execution, and accuses Pettibone of urging the killing. He also blames the trio for later attempts on judges and officials, while noting Haywood’s prior knowledge of his intent.
