Orchard’s PreliminaryThe Hearing Will Be Held Behind Closed Doors.Nothing new has developed in the Steunenberg assassina tion case during the past week, that the officers have seen fit to make public. The preliminary hearing of Harry Orchard, alias fhoraaa Hogan, will be begun- today. The counsel for Orchard ha* examined his statutory right to have the preliminary hearing behind closed doors. Only the Probate Judge, his clerk, the attorneys interested in the case and the officers in whose custody the defendant will be are to be admitted.Only three events of general interest occurred during the week. The first was the arrival in Caldwell of Attorney James J. Sullivan of Denver, Colo. Mr. Sullivan stated that he was en route to Baker City, Ore., and having beard ot the arrest of Hogan (or Orchard) stopped off to see if he was the man with with whom he was formerly acquainted. He was. Mr. Sullivan stated that he was not to defend Orchard ; that he would not do so under any circumstances. The idea still prevails in Caldwell that Sullivan is interested in the case, notwithstanding his denial.The second was the arrival of Sheriff Edward Bell and Deputy Sheriff F. R Thompaou of Cripple Creek, Colo. They identified Orchard as the man wanted in Colorado. Sheriff Bell stated that there could be no mistake. We are informed that in case Orchard clears himself of the murder of Governor Steunenberg he will be immeat^ly arrested and taken to Colorado.It is now known that the Pinkerton detective agency has men in Idaho working on the case. This has renewed confl deuce in the authorities that all the guilty parties will be apprehended. The county officers, the state officers and the detectives are putting forth every effort Nothing is being left undone to hunt down the criqfcnals. The officers are certain that Orchard is at least implicated, and they are in hopes that the other conspirators will be brought to justice.
