Only an Inkling of the contents ot the first bundle that containing the record in the case of E. II. Perrln of Williams, Alii. bos leaked out. After that leak, Mr. Wlckcrsham re stored the seal and all further access to the confidential flies of his office has been denied. And, without the consent of the Attorney-General, there apjiears to be no means of pry ing Into the Innermost secrets of the land-fraud and other prosecutions conducted by the Attorney-General and his assistants. In co-operation with Secretary Hitchcock and the In terior Department. Could the packages sealed by Mr. Donaparte be laid bare to Inspection, unwritten pages In the history of the land-fraud prosecutions In Oregon, In Idaho, In California, and else where would be gltcn to tho public for the first time. There has always been much which the government has nertr said about these prosecu tions; much that has never been ex plained. The missing link is not found In the open records of the De partment of Justice; It must exist In these packages which Mr. Bonaparte scaled before he retired. Not all of the contents of the Per rln package was uncorercd by Mr. Wlckersham. The lid, however, was raised high enough to satisfy a com mittee ot Inquisltlvo senators that the methods pursued by the Depart ment ot Justice, under Mr. Bona parte, were not methods expected In a free republic, but rather the meth ods that might be resorted to by the Russian government In the pursuit of anarchists. The little that was ascertained showed conclusively that the courts were being misused: that government agents were resorting to practices not countenanced by the law, and that marked men were be ing started for the penitentiary, even In the absence ot evidence Justlt)lng romlctlon. If such a thing were done In one rase, asked the senatorial committee. Is It not reasonable to presume It was done In others? That question can only bo answered by breaking the seals of Mr. Bonaparte, and It Is evidently the purpose of Mr. Wlckersham to protect those seals even against the demands ot the United States Senate. Early in the special session of Congress. President Taft sent to the Senate tho re-nomlnatlon of R. T. Devlin as United States District At torney for the Second District ot Cal ifornia. The nomination was re ferred to the committee on Judiciary. Immediately telegrams were received by the chairman of the committee stating that protesta were to be filed against Mr. Devlin's confirmation. Accordingly, action was suspended. In due time the charges arrived. Then the Devlin nomination, to gether with the charges, was turned over to a subcommittee consisting of Senators Piles of Washington (chair man), Borah of Idaho and Overman ot North Carolina. The subcommittee found that rep utsblo cltliens ot San Francisco charged Mr. Devlin with using per jured testimony In securing the con viction of Perrln on a charge of i i i Helping the Town . . .

The protectants In formed the committee that evidence to this effect could bo found In a re port made to Mr. Uonaparto by Wil liam R. ilarr, special assistant to tho Attorney-General, who had been sent to San Francisco to make specific In quiry Into the manner ot conducting the prosecution ot Perrln. Wit nesses against Mr. Devlin came oil to Washington; so, also, did Perrln, ac companied by his attorneys. Perrln brought with him tho records of his trial. Through his attorneys he nsked that the Ilarr report be laid before the committee, asserting that that report not only exonerated him. but showed up the Injustice of his prose cution and the unfairness of his In dictment. Perrln's sentence, prior to the renomlnatlon of Mr. Devlin, had been reversed and remanded b tho Circuit Court of Appeals, and a new trial ordered on tho ground that perjured testimony had been ad mitted at the first trial. The subcommittee became satis fled that the Ilarr report was Im portant, and addressed a letter to tho Attorney-General asking that It be submitted to them. The Attorney-General replied that the report waa In tho confidential file and could not be sent, but he offered to submit It for Inspection to the mem bers of tho subcommittee It they would agreo not to mako public Its contents. That report proved to be alt that had been claimed for it. Not only did It show that Mr. Devlin, In prose cuting Perrln, had used testimony known to be perjured, but It threw Important light on tho manner In which Perrln bad been Indicted. As heretofore stated In The Oregonlan, the report showed that when the grand Jury was Investigating the Perrln case and beforo It bad reached any conclusion, W. J. Burns, then a secret service employee ot the gov ernment detailed to land-Traud work, went before the grand Jury, said that be had Just come from Oyster Bay, where he had had a conference with President Roosevelt, and Informed the Jury that the President wanted Perrln Indicted. From the Ilarr re port It appears that the Indictment ot Perrln was largely attributable to the influence of the statement made by Burns. When Burns' part In the Indict ment was uncovered. Inquiry was mado to sco whether tho committee could In any way reach him, but the Attorney-General Informed them that Burns Is no longer In the gov ernment employ. Had he been on the federal payroll It Is probable the committee would have demanded his Immediate dismissal. Whether Per rln has any redress against Burns because of Burns' courso before the grand Jury Is a question with which the committee cannot deal. Having learned from tho Ilarr re port that Perrln bad been convicted on perjured testimony, It devolved upon tho committee to ascertain whether responsibility for the use of such testimony rested upon Mr. Dev lin or upon his superior, the Attorney-General. Senator Borah, for one, said he was not willing to refuso confirmation to Mr. Devlin when the Ilarr report clearly Indicated that the prosecution of Perrln, In a sense at least, was being directed by tho Department of Justice. What he wanted to know, and what tho sub- commute later asked, was whether Mr. Devlin, of his own volition, em ployed perjured testimony to convict Perrln, or whether Mr. Devlin was Instructed by Mr. Donaparte to use such testimony In order to obtain a conviction. Mr. Borah suggested that this evidence could only be ob tained from the correspondence that passed between. Mr. Bonaparte and Mr. Devlin. This correspondence the Attorney-General declined to fur nish, even In confidence, to th'i subcommittee. Upon this stato of facts the sub committee was unable to reach any agreement, and therefore reported back to the full Judiciary commlttoo m to all Its findings, but with no recommendation. Then the full com mittee mado formal request upon Mr. Wlckersham for the Bonaparte Devlin correspondence. Again Mr. Wlckcrsham refused, although the committee had pledged Itself to treat tho matter as confidential. Mr. Wlckersham staled that It wirqld bo Inexpedient to produce this corres pondence because It related to a caso then ivndlng In the courts the Per-1 rln rase awaiting retrial. Tho Senate has no power to com lie! the Attrne)-tlvneral or any nth r official to furnish It with conflden .l.il matter from his Dies, and there appears to bo no nay In which the itulcd correspondence between Mr. Jnnaparte nnd Mr. Devlin can be ob tained. In the absence of this cor respondent which It Is believed, will fix the responsibility for the ui jf erjured testimony upon either Mr. Donaparte or Mr. Devlin, the Ju diciary committee declined to takol any action upon the nomination of Mr. Devlin and he continues to serve under his original appointment. It I Is assumed that tho President wlllt give him a recess appointment as soon aa Congress adjourns, and will again send In his nomination when the regular session opens next December.
