STATE MAY GIVE
UP ALL HOPE OF
E
Remaining Indictment Jointly
Charging Him and . W.
Cooper Morris, May Be Dis
missed Following Acquittal.
Dismissal of the remaining Indict
ment against Louis J. Wilde and a
clearing of the circuit court slate of
indictments against W. Cooper Morris
is the ultimate result expected within
a few days as the sequence of the ac
quittal of Wilde by an Instructed ver
dict by order of Judge Kavanaugh last
Saturday... '.'-.',.
A Judge Kavanaugh was not feeling
well yesterday he requested Judge Mor
row to continue acting In his place as
presiding Judge for a day or two. Die.
trlct Attorney Cameron states that the
disposition of the Wilde and Morris
cases will not be taken up until Judge
Kavanaugh la presiding, and no definite
time haa. been fixed.
While the attorneys for the state have
been scanning the law books for some
new angle upon which to place Wilde
on trial again, either under the Indict
ment still pending or by means of a new
Indictment, It la believed that they have
about given up hope of being able to
present a case that will stand the test
Second Charge like rust.
While not prepared to say definitely
that all criminal cases growing out of
the fsilore of the OregoiMTrust & Sav

tt' Is now practically admitted that such
Is the case.. : v .- V
The only indictment left; against
Wilde Is one charging that he and Mor
ris embessled $11,500 from the bank 1n
January, 1(07. The facts In this esse
are substsnttsllr. the same as In the
later, transaction. which i Judge Kav
anaugh: decided did not constitute ths
crime of embesslement It la oonceded
that this case will fall, as a trial would
disclose a state of facts on which an
other Instructed verdict: would have -to
be ordered.- -;v ..
' Incidentally,. If Is recalled that ; Gov
ernor jonnsonof California was strong
ly Inclined . to refuse to grant extra
dition papers for Wilde because he did
hot believe any embesslement had been
committed. Finally his Judgment was
overcome by sn opinion of the Attorney
general of California. Governor John
son's idea, about the case Is vindicated
by the outcome. & i w ,

- As i to Morris, who wss Jointly in
dicted with Wilde and pleaded guilty to
the charge before he took the stand to
teatlfy against Wilder It Is thought he
will be permitted torwlthdrkw his plea
oi t gumy ana . that - the Indictment
against him win be dismissed. At the
Same time the district attorney Is ex
pected to renew " hia . motion that ,- all
the - old , Indictments against - Morris , bs
cleared away, this motion having been
aeniea by Judge Oatens while Wilde
was on trial. -.,-..: t, ,.Hrt':"'--'--i-ir::,':',
The district attorney thinks that Mor-
rls has bad -enough, all things consid
ered, with the six. year sentence, he- is
now serving. He will be in line for
parole next May, after serving one year
of his time. -
The county court will have to fix

A. E. Clark, special prosecutor In the
case Just tried. For like services in
the trial of W. H. Moore, when ' the
Jury, acquitted but: declared the de
fendant censurable, he was paid $800.
; " Cost to Ooaaty Heavy. ,H
County Judge Cleeton has expressed
surprise at the outcome, and said , h
supposed the state had a good -Case, so
far as the law wsa concerned, when the
county was asked to. employ an attor
ney outside the district attorney's of
fice to help try ths cass.: , t- '." t
In addition to this, expense,- the coun
ty employed detectives upon the repru-
sentatioa of ths district attorney that
sleuths were needed to guard the Jurors
from molestation and )ook up informa
tion for the state. The expert ac
countant cost between $450 and $600.
while the hotel bill for Morris and his
guard ran into the hundreds. By the
time all these expenses are footed up,
with the expense for Witnesses, for the
hotel bill ot the Jury, for the miscel
lanepus 1 expense of collecting evidence,
and for the expense of extraditing
Wilde from California, where the dis
trict attorney- and a deputy sheriff
were engaged for two weeks, the final
cost will be enough to make the tax
payers sit up and' take notice. , ; ,

New Plan, Invented by, Dane,
! - Noiseless and Effective
; , . Established at Lents. f ,
- ' j ! H 1 U
1 ' k 1 , r - i l i
A wli-elees system known as the .
Poulsen whlclj , has, been established by
tl)e Federal v Telegraph .company at
Lents has been having marked success r
in transmitting Its messages over the '
land and ? still greater Success Is -expected,
- The- method of transmitting.,
the messages Js far different from the
Marconi System. and is the Invention of'
Valdemar Poulsen, a Dane. It has been :
In - use , for five years by-i the German 1
$emenC,-v't.'.-?l:'.iS:.1':' i 1
In place of the disruptive spark which
the Msrconi 'and similar systems use
in "transmitting their code the poulsen
uses a continuous aro or ourrent, the ,
dots and dashes being sent by means
of increasing the current for the sracT
of time , required to1 form - the dot or;
dash.- By using this method the deafen- '
Ing crashes .caused by the Jumping of
the, spark from one pole to .the other.
are done away with and the only-noise
produced by the Poulsen system is . at '
the receiving end .-i when 1 the message,
Is received. . This noise cannot be beard
t ;any - appreciable 1 distance J r;,;' S
Another feature which distinguished
this system from the better known sys
tems la the fact that a message sunt '
out by one of the stations can b rea4
only by a receiving station of tho 'same
make, and these are patented so that
messages ' cannot - be read . outside
of ths company's stations. Bach- station -also
has Its own particular strength-
and In order for one , station to oall
another It must "tune", its apparatusv ;
either up or-down to agree with the.,
station desired. - T.Hus several messages.
can be going between different ata-.
tlons and can cross each other without '
Interference. , , v - ', f . .
The ststlon at Lents hss two aerlala
or. masts $00 feet in height snd 4$i
feet apart. Between these two are
strung - thousands . Of feet of wire " by .
means' of which the ether waves are' '
sent out end received.' In order to i
transmit the messages now being sent
but 1 J kilowatts of electric energy is. -needed.-,"'
