The men-who. did the work evidently had an Intimate knowledge" of the books of the Oregon-Trust A Bar ings ' tank, from which. pagea involved In the Wilde ease were, torn, and' lie ad ad that -memoranda ' for locating tbe right pages could have been gained by Wilde's attorneys when " they inspected the books, and such memoranda, i he surmises, Ja possessed by Wilde." He exonerates the attorneys for "Wilde from having any part In the affair. ' ; '" . . v. . Alleges ; Defense Injured. " rj Aasertion7 that the defense, is more injured by the steallng.of , the evidence than:, the atate, made by: jay Bowerman of counsel for the defense, added a new phase today, to the charge ot a 'frame up." ' Bowerman declares that when he and other attorneys for the defense were' permitted to! examine the sheet containing th' Wilde . agency account, A now missing, they found that erasures had been made with , ink erasers, that acids h4 been .used, discoloring the paper, ,and that the sheet was written and 'rewritten In such fashion as to leave d doubt concerning '; what .. It orig inally contained. i ' - ' ' "We wanted that 'originalj sheet to exhibit to the ' jury ' said -i. ETbwerman. "The state will new have the advantage of presenting a copy, , and -we Will be unable to. show Ahe (Condition of the sheet from which" the1 copy, was taken. The defense, not the state;; la injured by the loss of that sheet" District - Attorney - eameron today admitted that several detectives are at w6Vk J orp his office on the Wilde ease. Presumably they are' checking up the jury to be called next .Monday for the trial Of Wilde, as well aa trying to un ravel the burglary, mystery,. .

' . ; ' ' v Seteetlve Story Denonaeed aa Talse,- (-Another story, alleged to hare em. anated from the prosecution, concern ing a man named Cody, said to have come from Seattle with a corps of pri vate detectives to work for Wilde. This story, as well aa the grand Jury Inci dent.' denounced as false and alleged to be given circulation to prepare the ! public mind for the burglary. . 6 No vital evidence was lost to the state, as shown by: the immediate an nouncement that the trial of the de fendant will. be proceeded, with on tha date fixed. tt - ' - 7 The atate has copies of all, or nearly all, the stolen documents. . The defense likewise has copies, attested as correct by a deputy district attorney,! Even without-copies, contents et doc uments could be proved after ahowlng Inability to produce them. , I The Burns Detective agency al leged to have detailed secret operatives several days ago to aaatst the district attorney's ofnee la "getting Wide. ' Dan J. Malarxey, senior counsel for Wilde, today gave out the following .statement supporting the theory that the burglaries were committed byper sons Interested In the prosecution: . '. ''I cannot conceive that any Intelli gent person pan, after a careful' con sideration of all of the facts and cir cumstances surrounding -this- alleged burglarising of; the offices of the alsj tiict attorney and Attorney Clarke, eon- elude' that the aame waa done or caused ; to be done by Mr. Wilde or anyone In ; hla behalf. Mr. Wilde and his. attorWl neys are certainly entitled,-at tha hands of the public to the "presumption that they are possessed of ordinary com mon sense. - -- : "Whoever pulled off .this burglary atunt must have "known It would have been discovered.'. In fact, he not only took no palna to cover up hla work, but j waa exceedingly careful to leave manUi featl trace thereof. He nvuit also hve: known that It .would be reported to, the . newspapers as goon aa discovered, 'an J that Mr. Wilde jpuld naturally be ac-i euaed.' Ia it not plain that, In .view ef . the fact that Mr. Wilde's ease la set for i trial next Monday, nothing could be done by him or anyone in his , behalf that would-be more disastrous to his ; interests in that trial than to under take, through th crime of burglary, to destroy or become possessed of any documentary evtdenca . inj 'pbsaeaalon of fa prosecution T Would Wot Injure FroaeontSoa. ' "The motive of aeelng or learning the mature of the alleged stolen evidence must be eliminated In view of the fact that Judge Oatens some weeks ago or dered the prosecution to exhibit and per mit .the defendant to make copies of all documentary evidence proposed to be used against Mr. Wilde, and the further fact, that under such order the prosecu tion did on December H, exhibit to the defendant's attorneys and . permit them to make ooplea of all the documentary- evidence upon which it relies In this aie. Under; that order and that exhibition the prosecution could not In troduce any other documentary evidence than, what was so exhibited to and. copied by "the defendant's attorneys. .' "If the loss of any documentary evi dence Would deprive the prosecution of the benefit thereof, there might be soma ground for claiming Mr. Wilde waa re sponsible for these alleged burglaries, but, aa la well known to the district attorney and to Mr. Clarke and to every other .attorney the loss of . any docu. mentary evidence would not preclude the. prosecution front Introducing copies of what was lost The only effect from this standpoint of the alleged stealing! et this documentary evidence would -be ; to permit the prosecution to lntroduoe at the trial copies or other secondary' evidence thereof, together with, evidence of the stealing of the originals, which inner aviaenco wouin in liseii DO mgniy prejudicial to Mr. Wilde. v' v : " Bay omoea Sot Broken Into. "Mr. Wilde has been threatened with this prosecution for over two years and it la ,pniy fair to him vto presume that if . he; would undertake . each desperate methods as are now charged to blm he would not bave .waited until tho eve of his. trial to resort -thereto-.;.! , 4f;'rHrthermore, : ; we - understand ; the physical evidence showa that - neither the office of Mr. Clarke ' nor that of the--dlstrioti attorney could, have been entered from the euteld as must have been the case if the defense had any- inmg 10. ao. wun cne aiiegea oisanpear- artce . from these offices oft the - docu ments in question. .
