Orchard details revolting Confession in Haywood case
Harry Orchard admitted grave crimes and detailed the murder of Frank Steunenberg by an infernal machine. He said the assassination was urged by Haywood, plotted with Moyer, Pettibone and himself, financed by Haywood, and carried out after a failed attempt with Jack Simpkins. He listed eighteen victims and confessed other crimes including desertion, bigamy, and kidnapping. The testimony, though challenged, formed a stark, steady account in the courtroom.

Boise June 8. Defense interrogation widens in the Haywood trial as attorneys continue to attack Harry Orchard's statements. They seek to cast doubt on the Vindicator mine explosion links and on Orchard's meetings with Western Federation leaders in Denver, while portraying him as a controlled witness amid accusations of ties to mine owners and militia. Orchard defends his tale, resisting attempts to undermine his credibility as the trial proceeds.
