KLAMATH FALLS, SATURDAY, JULY 10, 11)09.
niG SCANDAL, lllll IN' AKCHIVKS.
(Concluded I'twi Klrsl rage.)
the other bundle remained scaled
until doomsday.
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

fraudulently acquiring timber land
In California. 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.
