Flood of confessions as Alfred Horsley testifies against Haywood
Alfred Horsley alias Harry Orchard testified in Boise that he committed a long chain of sensational crimes starting with the Buncker Hill and Sullivan mill arson and the Cripple Creek mine blasts. He said leaders of the Western Federation of Miners directed or funded his actions including attempts on Governor Peabody and the murder of Lyte Gregory, with further plots against Det. Gregory and others. The testimony portrayed a grim catalog of violence tied to the federation, while the defense challenged admissibility and reliability throughout the day.
