"Soma tlma la 110 I became suspi
cions that ths prlca rJi for the bonds
and quoted by Wilde was not correct,
and I decided to make aa Investigation.
I Drat conferred with 8. O. Reed, then
president of the German -American
Bank. In Portland, and later went to
Taooma and talked o-rer the aubject
with W. Cooper Morris. In the latter
part of August I went to Ban Diego
for the purpoae of Informing Mr. Wild
what I bad learned.
"Prior to thla tlma Wilde bad never
Intimated that the aale of tha bonds to
tha bank waa made for any figure
jrreater than II cants, neither did ha
offer to make a farther division of tha
profits of tha transaction with gt I
then told him that I believed the bonda
had been eold at a profit of f 100.000
and that be bad divided 110.000 with
his associates In tha Construction Com
pany, had given Morrla 140,000 and had
retained 1(0.000 for himself.
Deceit Discovered, Re Say,
"Wilde appeared excited when I made
thla assertion.' but afterwarda amlled
and aald: 1 thought you knew, but you
are only guessing.' which waa largely
true at that. Finally he told ma to go
back and talk to Morris. He told ma
that he would put Morris In jail for tha
rest of his Ufa If ha dared tell ma tha
truth concerning tha bond transaction.
"Before our conversation had ended,
Wilde showed me a syndicate book
which indicated that tha telephone bonds
had been purchased by Morrla for a
syndicate Including four or live banks.
At the same time be showed mo two
checks on tha Oregon Truet A Savings
Hank, one for $5000 and the other for
$40,000. and admitted that the ayndU
cate had secured the bonda at 10 cents,
"That la about all there waa to the
conversation, although some amenities
were exchanged which probably will ba
Just aa well not to repeat at this time.
1 spent tha evening at Wilde's boms
and remained there all night."
"What, after those amenities?" asked
Mr. Malarkey.
"Tea after thoae amenities, but I did
not stay for break fast, because I
thought I bad been deceived." replied
Stow.
Sterw la ta Ba Called As aim.
It waa at this Juncture Judge Kava
naugh adjourned court until 1:10 o'clock
this morning, when Mr. Clark will re
sume the direct examination of Stow.
Before Mr. Stow testlfled the state
called Lloyd Smith. F. Delcus snd
Adolph Schuls. formerly paying teller,
exchange teller and bead bookkeeper,
respectively, of the Oregon Trust A
Favlnga Bank, for the purpoee of Iden
tifying the dally blotters used in their
respective departments of the bank.
Mr. Malarkey gave these witnesses a
thorough cross-examination and suc
ceeded In bringing out the fact that
the records of the bank, as shown by
the dally blotters, were carelessly kept.
Thla was. particularly true with refer
ence to the dally blotter of Mr. Smith,
tha paying teller. Various discrepancies
la the dally cash balances were pointed
out by Mr. Malarkey. In one Instanoe
thla to til on bmlth's blotter being over
1 1000 different from another record of
the same Item kept In the bank. ' On
ona day the blotter showed that a cash
balance bad not been made.
Five-Tear-Old Eatrtee Haay.
On cross-examination both Mr. Smith
and Mr. reclua pointed out entries on
their respective dally blotters which
they said probably were made by J. H
Truby. ex -assistant cashier of the
bank, who haa sines died. The transac
tions having taken place five Tears
ago. Mr. Smith said ho waa unable to
offer any explanation for various of
the entries made by Truby or some
body else, although ha supposed soma
satisfactory reason was given at the
time for the amended and additional
figures.
Before tha witnesses were excused
Mr. Clark developed tha fact that Tru
by. as assistant cashier, frequently as
sisted tha different tellers when they
were rushed with their work or were
absent for luncheon. lie -contended
that this fact waa responsible for the
appearance of entries on the blotters
other than those made by the teller In
whose particular department tha trans
action took plaoe.
Efforts by tha prosecution yesterday
to obtain the introduction of teatlmony
showing other alleged questionable
bond transactions by Wilde and Morris
in which commissions were divided
equally between them, were temporarily
arrested by Judge Kavanaugh on ob
jection of counsel for the defense. The
court sustained the objection with the
understanding that tha prosecution
later la tha trial might raise the ques
tion at tha admissibility of such testi
mony for the purpose of proving crimi
nal intent.
The ruling by Judge Kavanaugh fol
lowed a protracted discussion by coun
sel, which was conducted In the abeenca
of the Jury Tha discussion waa started
when Mr. Clark was questioning Ralph
Morrla. witness for tha stats. Morris
was bookkeeper In tha Oregon Trust at
Savings Bank for two years before Its
suspension and waa In charge of tha
Individual ledger accounts which In
cluded tha personal deposit and agent
accounts of Morrla. The witness wsa
asked to Identify and describe an entry
of 111.400 to tha credit of Morris per
sonal account under date of January
7. 10T. whan Mr. Malarkey lnterpeeed
an objection.
"We intend to show by this testi
mony ths intimate relations between
Moirls and Wilde." explained Mr. Fl te
gs raid.
"Does tha item pertain to tha charge
f embexslement being tried?" Inquired
Judge Kavanaugh.
"No air." answered Mr. Clark, "but
It doea tend to show the intimate rela
tions between Wilde and Morris and the
Intent."
Hew DeaU Alleged.
-We will show by this testimony."
aald Deputy District Attorney Flta
gerald. "that In December. 10. Wilde
and Morrla were engaged In another
bond deal when they disposed of bonda
for tha Puget Sound Telephone Com
pany, from which a commission of f 11
was earned. This wee later de
posited to the Oregon Trust to the
credit of Wilde aad on tha same day.

January 7, 1S0T, tha personal account
of Morris was credited with one-half
of that amount.
Mr. Malarkey Insisted that the scope
of the prosecution should be limited
and confined entirely to proving the
charge contained In the Indictment on
which Wllde vs-as being tried.
"We Insist that the testimony Is en
tirely relevant." followed Mr. Clark,
"from the fact that we will be able
to show that only a few months before
ths aale by Wllde through Morrla to
the Oregon Trust of 1500.000 of Omaha
telephone bonds, Wllde snd Mor
ris had concluded - a series of
similar transactions In bonds, Wllde
representing- the bondholders' syndi
cate while Morrla acted for tha bank.
We desire to ahow the guilty knowl
edge and guilty Intent of the defend
ants Morris and Wllde in at least one
transaction In which under the gulaa
of a commission they embeszled over
1 11.000 of the funds of the bank, and
then divided the money between them.
MonrlV Aeesnnt Overdraws.
"Tha proeecutlon could go even fur
ther and we may offer to do ao and
ahow that prior to thla deal In Jan
nary. 190. Morris and Wllde. through
some lngenluoe feat of legerdemain in
a bond deal, acquired about 1200.000
of stock In tha Taooma Telephone Com
pany." The witness. Balph Morris, on
cross-examination by Mr. Malarkey.
said that when the credit of 15000
was placed to W. Cooper Mor
ris account May T. 1907. the account of
the then cashier waa overdrawn to the
amount of I127I.C9. The state did not
produce a credit or deposit slip tor this
deposit and tha witness was unable
to say that such a memorandum waa to
be had.
Bookkeeper Morris testtflsd that all
the records of the x-csshlers per
sonal and agent accounts were origin
ally made In his own handwriting for
tha two years ha waa connected with
tha bank with tha exception of the
two weeks ha waa absent on a vaca
tion In August, 1907. For thla reason
he could not account for tha fact that
one of the six sheets showing Morris
accounts and offered In evidence by
the state was In tha handwriting of
another. Tha witness testified that ao
far aa ha knew, only one set of these
records wss kept by tha bank and he
was unable to account for the apparent
substitution of one of the sheets origi
nally filled by himself with another
sheet filled out by somebody elsa whose
handwriting and figures he was unable
to identify.
Before leaving tha witness stand,
Mr. Morris left no doubt In ths minds
of those In the courtroom as to whether
or not be waa related to W. Cooper
Morrla concerning whose acounts he
had testified. In answer to a question
on that subject propounded by Mr.
Clark, ha said. "No. air," with pro
nounced emphasis.
J. M. Long, In the morning session,
testified that he prepared the final
draft of bylaws for the Oregon Trust
Savings Bank and Identified an ex
hibit offered by the stats ss a carbon
copy of the original draft. This In
strument differed In two particulars
from the ona Identified aa a copy of
the original draft by L. O. Ralston,
president of the Oregon Savings Bank,
predecessor of the Oregon Trust Sav
ings Bank. Two sections Included In
the Long draft were shown to have
been strlcksn out of tha draft In ths
possession of Ralston.
One section omitted prohibited the
bsnk from lending funde of the sav
ings department to any officer, director
or employe of the bank and the other
provided that no bonds or other like
securities should be purchased unless
they were regularly ratified and ap
proved at a meeting of the board, of
directors.
Miseries Mtsaaaa- Testified.
The state already has Introduced the
testimony of witnesses to the effect
that the record book of tha mtnutes of
tha meetings of the directors. Including
the original and only draft of the by
laws, la missing and cannot be found.
Later In the day Ralston waa re
called by the state, but when ques
tioned by Mr Clark adhered to his
original declaration that tha pencil
memoranda on the copy of the bylaws
he supplied counsel for defense, were
made In 1904 at the tiros the document
was delivered to the bank. Mr. Ral
ston said he discovered the copy offered
by the defense when looking through
his safe last December.
John W. Kelly, a Portland newspaper
man. testified to having seen the de
fendant Wllde In San Diego In August.
1910, aad that Wllde at tha time wsa
making bis residence In that city. The
purpose of Kelly's testimony, and other
wltnessea who have been subpensed for
the same cause, was to prove the non
residence of Wllde In this state. Thla
fact must be formally established In tha
trial of the case to validate the Indict
ment against Wllde. Bad the defendant
not removed from Oregon after the al
leged embexslement, the statute of limi
tations would havs run against ths
crime In three years.
In response to a demand from Mr.
Clark for the checks Issued against
the account of Wllde. as agent. Mr.
Malarkey delivered all the canceled
checks covering all withdrawals with
the exception of a 15000 debit entry of
May 1 which, the state contends, was
the amount of cash received by Morris
In connection with the telephone
bonds.
Mr. Clark, In tha redirect examina
tion of tha witness, got the fact be
fore the jury that, with the exception
of a balance of 60 cents, Wllde with
drew his entire account aa sgent from
tha bank between May 7 and May 10,
or within a period ef three days fol
lowing tha delivery of the telephone
bonds to the bank and the payment te
Wllde of his commission of f 100,000.
Mr. Kara til testified directly that thla
account was closed May 10.
Answering further questions from
Mr. Malarksy. howsver. Kuratll said
the account might have been closed
any time between May 10 and May XT,
the date on which the last check
against the account was presented and
cashed.

Women whp bear children and
remain healthy are those who pre
pare their systems in advance of
baby's coming. Unless the mother
aids nature in its pre-natal work the
crisis finds her eystem unequal to
the demands made upon it, and
she is often left with weakened
health or chronic ailments. No
remedy is so truly a help to nature
as Mother's Friend, and no ex
pectant mother should fail to use
it. It relieves the pain and dis
comfort caused by the strain on the
ligaments, makes pliant and elastic
those fibres and muscles which
nature is expanding, prevents numb
