Immediately after the reading\" of the remainder of the confession the entire paty went up ' to Judge Goddard's home, and after looking at tho sreweye and measuring the distance according - to Orchard' diagram'\" General Bulkeley Wells volunteered to find out whether tho bomb was still there. The others retired ��������� to a safe distance, the judge and Mrs. Goddard watching from lhe window of tlie house. Taking his penknife, Wells gently scratched along\" tho earth until he found the fish hook attached to tho wire. Then with infinite' eaiv he removed the earth until he came to the sacking, ' which Orchard, in Idaho, fivo hundred,'' miles away, had said would be-found over the explosive. \"t have, it,\" he called, and, the others came, saw nnd went. Then with utmost precautions, not to jar the treacherous bomb and- in any way get the cork out of Ihe bottle oT acid the intrepid Wells took the thing out. of the, earth and. guarded by. his frightened 'companions, carried 'it to \" the capital, where it - was placed in big vaults. < -*- Governor ' Jesse A McDonald heard\" the confession or tho vital parts of it, reaid, heard corroborations and inn do-some for himself over the longdistance telephone and telegraph, looked curiously, at the bomb, cms til ted the attorney general of the state, and other- legal advisers and granted the r-*- qujstions. - * -* It was pointed out to him hy one of those present that no matter what the outcome his action \"~would kill him politically, and to his credit, his only reply was to ask. \"You believe that these men are guilty, dp you not?\" \"Yes,\" said the friend. . \"Well,\" said the governor, \"it. may be a political mistake-,'.but. its right,\" and he turned and sign ed the papers. ���������:*��������������������������� ��������� ���������������������������'.���������.

His suspicions from the lirst * were direct ed towards Orchard; and within a short trine* he had sufficient : evidence. to warrant his arrest'. After Orchard had been taken, a careful search vvas made of bis effects. A suspicious powder on the floor and a- few letters in the\" closet were all the detectives found '.in . the room at the hotel .. to . reward their search, but in a trunk at tho railroad station, on which he was paying storage, was found a cipher code, and letters from various Western Federation officials, 'containing advice and orders which have since bean found to tally'exactly wich Orchard's statements.

The third day he could not eat and was vcfry restless. The fifth day brought nothing new until late in the evening, when thc -��������� warden went into the cell and said gruffly: \"Got everything you want.\" \"Yes,\" said Orchard, who .was plainly worried, \"everything, hangup. But what in h is the rriat- .te'r with the still's liy the door. \" \\ \"They know their business,\" responded the waidcn shortly as he turned on his heel nnd left him. Two more days passed. Orchard was eating next to nothing and getting desperate with nerves. The silence and anxiety was . telling on him badly. Then McPni-land wi-nt in. To his surprise Orchard recognized him. and, evidently e,lail of. any human' being to speak to, greeted him with: \"1 know you. you're Old Man Mac. We've -got your, picture,\"' \"I know you, too.\" said Mol-ar land. \"Nice box you've got your self into���������a boy with a good mot her as you've got.\" \"What do you know about in-. mother?\" demanded Orchard start led. \"Know all about you,, from your home in Canada up to today.

Gradually Orchard broke down.
