Haywood trial witnesses linked to 1905 plan in Bo Wilson case
The Haywood trial featured four letters said to show a 1905 plan to mislead Mrs Orchard about her husband's whereabouts. Prosecutors tied Pettibone’s Denver store to Orchard in San Francisco and to Steve Adams, aiming to corroborate Orchard’s testimony in the Steunenberg murder case. The defense pressed Orchard’s motives as the cross-examination closed.
