Inconsistent Testimony on Orchard Case Emerges
Boise July 21—Impeachment of Orchard’s testimony dominated morning arguments. Richardson argued Orchard was always broke, questioning why he would risk truth for luxury. He criticized the state for not calling Bulkley Wells and suggested Wells planted the box and later dug it up. The defense focused on the irrigation ditch bomb, noting bright nails and non rusted box, and claimed the story was fake. Richardson linked federation agitation to political depredations and warned of a wholesale removal of lenders across factions to secure quiet. He denounced Sherman Bell as the “vettest braggart.”
