murderous inner circle chele of the Western Federation of Miners had marked these men for death and had hired assassins to do their work ork they would woud have been so easily and without apparent cause deterred from from carrying out their desin Do you ima imagine lUe they would woud stop until their purpose had been accomplished When When you consider an all the testimony in in this case I think you ou wi will reach with me inc the conclusion that this man Orchard was possessed of a mania to togo togo togo go out and kil kill Sometimes his lust was was' greater reater than at others and so it was that sometimes he w was s stron strong in his bis purpose and sometimes s w yered His testimony shows shows a desultory maniacal method of pursuing the victims selected for death for some fancied grievance i vance I against himself or perhaps the or organization organization ani- ani to which he lie belonged Why gentlemen even eyen Yau Vaughn hn the insurance agent who traveled with
