showed more or less nervousness aa he
faced th Jury- Until commanded by
counsel to speak mora distinctly, Mor
ris could not be heard by all the Jurors
and the court officials. Ha soon re
gained Ms composure and gave a de
tailed narrative ef Ms jacquaintance
with Wilde and tha incidents leading
up to the alleged conspiracy between
them by which the embezslement of
1 80.000 from tha bank waa consum
mated. Morris I'phrld aa Wltaeaa.
"I desire to ask a question or two
touching on the competency of this
witness." Interrupted Dan J. Malarkey,
of counael for the defense, following
preliminary questions by Mr. Clark, the
special prosecutor, aa to the residence
of Morris.
"The court has knowledge that tha
witness Is competent," replied Mr. Flts
gerald. "Well, we are entitled to the same
Information." answered Mr. Malarkey.
With the permission of the court, Mr.
Malarkey proceeded.
"Are you the aame W. Cooper Morris
who Is co-defendant In tha case now
being tried T"
"Yea. sir." replied Morris.
"Has the Indictment been disposed of
aa against you?"
"I bava pleaded guilty, that's all X
know," waa the reply.
Mr. Malarkey her entered an objec
tion to the examination of Morris aa a
witness - for the prosecution on the
theory that the Indictment would not
be disposed of as to Morris until the
Judgment of th court had been passed
in the pronouncement of a sentence for
the crime to which he had entered a
plea of guilty. Mr. Malarkey insisted
that the defendant could withdraw his
plea of guilty the minute be left the
witness stand regardless of the motive
ha might have had in first admitting
hla guilt.
Prlsoaer Relates Past.
This theory of tha defense waa re
sisted by Mr. Fitzgerald, who contended
that Morris could not withdraw his
plea. Tha further contention of Mr.
Fitzgerald that by pleading guilty Mor
ris had quail lied aa a witness for the
atate waa sustained by Judge Kava
naugh. and the examination waa re
sumed. Morris first told of coming to Port
land In February. 1904. and organizing
th Portland Savings Bank with offices
in the Marquam building. In May. 1906.
the bank removed to Sixth and Wash
ington streets, where It was conducted
until Its suspension in August. 1907.
He aald the management of the bank
following Its reorganisation aa the Ore
gon Trust A Savings Bank was some
what divided. Walter H. Moore, the
president, waa the managing head, but
Morris, as cashier, waa not only as
sistant to the president, but also looked
after varloua details. Including a gen
eral supervision of the work of the
clerks and other assistants.
"I first met Mr. Wilde In 1906." tes
tified Morris, "when he came Into our
bank with a letter of Introduction from
a mutual friend In San Francisco. Mr.
Wilde said he had com to Portland In
th Interest of an Independent tele
phone company and for the purpose of
disposing of some of the securities of
tha company In the Pacific Northwest.
At this time he gave a general descrip
tion of bis plan of operation.
Later Weleasaea Heartier.
"Wilde apparently waa not satisfied
with the reception he was given on
this visit, and several months later we
received a second letter from the author
of the flret Introductory communication
advising us that wa bad not given Mr.
Wilde tha proper consideration and be
speaking for him mor considerate
treatment In the future. About this
same time many Portland men called
at the bank and represented to us that
Mr. Wilde was a big financier As a
result thereafter, when Mr. Wilde sub
mitted to the bank any proposal, ws
gave It due consideration.
"The flrst traneactlon our bank had
with Mr. Wilde waa th purchase of
110.000 of bonds In the Independent
telephone company of Portland. In the
Fall of 1S0S w also bought two blocks
of bonds, each for 1200.000. of tha
Puget Sound Telephone Company. For
these securities th bank paid par and
received a 0 per oant stock bonus.
Wild Heat a Trip.
"Our relatione during this time were
very cordial. They became particularly
intimate in November of that year, fol
lowing the purchase and payment by
th bank of th first block of 1200,
00 of th Puget Sound boL-ds. It was
then that Mr. Wild proposed to me
that I take a trip with him, be to pay
all ef the expaneee. which be did. His
Idea waa that we should visit the varl
oua cities In tha Weat In which Inde
pendent telephone companies were
operating with a view to ascertaining
directly how thes properties wer be
ing managed.
-We went first to Denver, wber we
remained two or three days, and then
went to Los Angeles, where Mr. Wilde
Introduced me to the officers of the
independent telephone companies and
also th Investors, who had taken stock
In th Union Telephone Construction
Company, with which Mr. Wilde was
then actively Identified. We passed be
tween two and three weeks at Lob
Angeles. Including side trips to San
Diego. It waa on this visit that on
suggestion of Wilde I subscribed for
:ii0 stock in this concern for the
bank and duplicated the investment a
short time later. We returned to
Portland som time In December Just
about th tlm th bank received and
paid for the second block of $200,000
Puget Sound telephone bonds.
-Tltlla;" Deal Referred To.
"Th subject of organizing a com
pany and building the Omaha Independ
ent telephone plant waa discussed con
siderably on our Denver-Los Angeles
trip. It was while we were In Los
Angeles that Wilde closed the contract
with the Union Telephone Construc
tion Company for the sale of a block
of 1500.000 of bonds of the Omaha com
pany. He told me at the time about
the reorganization of the Construction
Company with an Increased capital
stock snd told me that If he could
place the block of half a million of
bonds he and I would "make a kill
ing." "We first talked of forming a large
syndicate to take the $500,000 of bonds,
the Oregon Trust to be Included in the
syndicate. Wilde said he would be able
to get a number of banks. Including
one at Omaha, to go Into such a syndi
cate, but It was not until stfter Wilde
received the contract and came to Port
land that I learned the Oregon Trust
waa expected to take the entire block."
Contract Called "Corker."
Telegrams were Introduced here
touching on tha negotiations of Wilde
with the Union Telephone Construc
tion Company looking to the acqui
sition of the contract for the sale of
the $300,000 of bonds. One of these
telegrams, dated February 15, 1907,
from Wilde to -Morris, told that the
contract had been obtained. "Contract
corker. Worth fortune." was the way
In which Wilde referred to the agree
ment he had obtained from the bond
selling agency.
"Wilde returned to Portland with the
contract about March 15." continued
Morris. "He showed me a copy of the
typewritten agreement and explained
to me that he was authorized to- dis
pose of th entire block of $500,000 at
10 cents on the dollar if he could close
the deal immediately. He said I could
have them for 80 cents but that he
would have to pay Frank H. Stow and
F. F. Graves, his associates In the Union
Telephone Construction Company, $10,
000 for giving him such a good con
tract. "Wilde then told me if I would take
the bonds at par and agree that Stow
and Graves be paid $10,000. he and I
could have the remaining $90,000 and
divide It between us. My recollection
Is that I sent this $10,000 In the form
of a draft to S. A. Reed, treasurer of
the Construction Company."
Canceled Draft Identified.
Morris Identified one of the state's
exhibits as the canceled draft by which
the Initial payment of $10,000 out of
$100,000 commission waa sent to Reed.
He then told that Wilde was particu
larly Insistent that this money should
be advanced immediately to clinch the
contract. It was agreed at the
time, according to Morris, that th
commlsslson for the bonds should be
paid aa soon as they were delivered.
This was done May 7. 1907. Morris, Just
before court adjourned for the day.
Identified the demand certificate for
$100,000 which was given to cover the
commission and at the same time iden
tified a personal check drawn by Wild
against hla own account and trans
ferred as a credit to the bank for the
$10,000 advanced in March to satisfy
the claims of Stow and Graves.
Mr. Richardson, the expert account
ant, preceded Morris and showed by the
bank books the various transactions
relating to tha bond deal and on which
th prosecution depends largely for
making its case against Wilde. The
cross-examination of Richardson by
Mr. Malarkey was lively at times, par
ticularly when counsel for th defense
asked Richardson If he had not ad
mitted In the presence of Malarkey,
Sumner and Bowerman. of defendant's
counsel, that "he (Richardson) would
not convict anybody on th books of
the Oregon Trust."
Expert Paid fl5 Dally.
Richardson said that although he
had said the loose-leaf system of keep
ing the records followed by th Oregon
Trust waa censurable, ha had not de
clared that nobody should b con
victed by those records. Mr. Malarkey
brought out th fact that Richardson
waa receiving from tha county $15 a
day for his services as expert. Rich
ardson said he received $460 for his
services to the stats In the trials of
Moore and Morris and that he had ren
dered a bill for the same amount for
services to date in the caae of Wilde.
The witness said that he also had been
paid out of the funds of the German
American Bank for the first examin
tlon he made of the records of the Ore
gon Trust following the appointment
of Thomas C. Devlin aa receiver.
In hts examination of Richardson
Mr. Malarkey developed the fact that
debit and credit slips covering some of
the transactions in connection with the
$500,000 bond deal were not in evi
dence in the case. This was true as to
a memorandum showing the Initial
payment of $10:000 on the bond deal.

'the state to have been a part of hla
share of the commlsslson.
Woman Brave on Stand.
The testimony of Mrs. Jackson In the
morning session caused surprise. Al
though the witness was unable to
name the day of the week on which
she had the interview with Wilde, she
unwaveringly adhered to her story in
the main and came out of a thorough
cross-examination by Mr. Malarkey for
tha defense without having been In the
least bit disconcerted and without vary
ing materially from the statements
made In her direct examination.
Mrs. Jackson said that within a few
days following the failure of the Ore
gon Trust & Savings Bank she received
a telegram from Morris, forwarded
from Chicago, requesting her to come
to Portland and Interview various per
sons aa to the condition of the bank
and then return to Seattle and meet
Morris, who was returning to Portland
and would pass through that city. The
witness then told of coming to Port
land on the night of the day she re
ceived the telegram. She first Inter
viewed Mrs. Morris and talked with
Walter II. Moore, president of the
bank, and then telephoned Wilde and
mads an appointment. The Interview
with Wilde, testified Mrs. Jackson, waa
held between 10 and 1$ o'clock in the
morning of a "very rainy day.'
Suspicion Felt About Wilde.
"I waa suspicious that Mr. Wilde
waa not a friend of my brother and
that was the flrst question I aaked
him." said Mrs. Jackson. "He assured
me that he was my brother's friend
and when I asked him concerning the
condition of the bank he told m to
tell my brother to stand pat and lay
the wnole telephone deal to me.' He
also told me to be sure and tell Morris
that h (Wilde) 'got all the commis
sion.' Th manner of Mr. Wild waa
very much agitated. , ,
"Mr Wlldo also told me that he had
applied to the court for the appoint
ment of a receiver, so as to be able to
name that official, and remarked that
It 'was not a crime to be an insinuating,
over-sealous salesman." "
On cross-examination. Mr. Malarkey
In seeking to discredit the testimony
of Mrs. Jackson, obtained the admis
sion that prior to coming to Port
land, when she Interviewed Wilde, she
knew nothing at all about the affairs
of the bank. Including the telephone
bond deal to which Wilde I alleged to
have referred In that Interview. Mr.
Malarkey also got from the witness
an admission that her husband. C F.
Jackson, was at one time connected
with the Golden Eagle store aa an
agent for the bank.
' Judge Cure Lawyer-
Lloyd I. Stratton. " who conduct a

Archie F. Leonard, deputy Sheriff, tes
tified as to the residence of Wilde In
San Diego in th year 1910. It was
In the questioning of Leonard that op
posing counsel lad another mild clash,
which was cut short by Judge Kava
naugh. who renewed his admonition
that personalities should be excluded.
Deputy District Attorney Fitzgerald
In questioning Leonard brought out the
fact that Wilde had resisted his extra
dition from California and that his
removal to this state was effected
only after a contest of three weeks.
Mr. Malarkey took advantage of thla
opening and got the witness to say
that the reason so much time was re
quired to extradite Wild was the fact
that Governor Johnson, of California,

had declared that he did not think a
crime had been committed. The wit
ness said that although there was
some talk to that effect, he did not
know of his own knowledge that Gov
ernor West had threatened to hold up
the Oregon appropriation for an ex
hibit at the Panama-Pacific Exposi
tion if the extradition of Wilde were
not granted."

Fitzgerald. Leonard said the extradi
tion papers were finally granted after
the Attorney-General of California had
Investigated the case and had satUn-vi
himself that a crime had been com
mitted. Bond Buyer Teet tries.
In the morning session, John F.
Shorey testified that in .Vugust 1909.
he received from Morris five $1000 Pu
get Bound telephone bonds. He kept
four of these bonds, expecting to dis
pose of them at a small profit, and the
fifth was accepted by Arthur L. Fin
ley. For the five bonds. Shorey paid
$2200 for hla four bonds and Flnley
paid $550 for the one he received. The
witness said that he was unable to sell
his bonds, end In view of the fact, Mor
ris subsequently gave him two other
bonus of the same denomination
that he would not lose anything on his
1" vestment.
Tha state offered in evidence certifi
cates of stock which accompanied th
bonds, but the certificates were re
Jegted by the court on th objection
o: Mr. Malarkey, who showed that th-
stock certificates were Issued In 1909,
or over two years after the termina
tion of the alleged conspiracy with
which Morris and Wilde were charged.
Mr. Malarkey also brought out the fact
that Shorey and Morris were especially
Intimate friends, and that at the time
the bank failed the City Messenger &
Delivery Company, of which Shorey Is
the owner, was Indebted to the bank
In the sum of $44,000. This indebted
ness, however, was all paid off. In
cluding interest. Shorey also said that
he assisted to circulate a petition at
the time of the conviction of Morris,
asking the Governor to pardon him.
In the afternoon two minor witnesses
testified for the state. C. C. Craig, a
real estate dealer, testified as to the
residence of Wilde at San Diego since
190S. Robert B. Lamson, who was a
bookkeeper in the Oregon Trust, iden
tified a number of entries he had
madr in the personal account of Mor

"Paving in Portland costs no more
than It does In any part of the country
I visited excepting cities of Michigan.
I visited Louisville, Cincinnati. De
troit, Ann Harbor. Jhlcago. Denver,
Salt Lake City and other cities and
found that they are all paying as much
or more for paving as Portland ex
cepting the Michigan cities. In the
Southern States paving Is higher than
here. The low prices In Michigan are at
tributed to the cheapness of cement.

"Portland streets compare favorably
to the streets of any city I visited.
There are some cities where the main
streets are wider but none is better
or more extensively paved. Our side
walks are better. In many Cities the
