Sorlie of North Dakota, spoke in favor of repealing the Fed- ate tax and leaving that field of revenue entirely to the States.

The other affidavit filed by Burns| under the same circumstances reads: “Frank J. O'Reilly, being first duly sworn, says that he is a resident of Brooklyn, N. Y., and that he is an assistant manager of the Burns De- tective Agency and on the —— day of October, 1927, was in the city of Washington op the business of that company. He went to the department of the District government, wherein is kept the record of the names of those persons to whom automobile license tags are issued and found from the records of that department in the District Building that the au- hearing the license number as registered in the name of H. R. Lamb. ascertained that an H. R.

Likewise, he emphatically declared there was no need of the marsh: office to enter the Wardma tel room with a search war the reports which had been compiled on the Fall-Sinclair jury. “They could have called up Ruddy (local manager of the agency), and he would have turned them oves Burns stated. While he was talking with the newspaper men, Douglas Catchim, a companied by Sergt. John Dowling of the Marine I ppeared. Sev- eral of the surrounding Burns recognized ¢ d nodded. He smiled in return, but walked on into Burkinshaw's office. Catchim was in uniform, and at. Dowling id he had orders which prohibited Catchim talking to any one except the United States attorney and the grand jury Burns appeared to have little knowl- edge about Catchim, but was informed that the young Marine had been in the employ of the local office until about six weeks ago. No one could assign a reason for Catchim’s leaving the agency. It was stated that he had considerable experience and had devoted much work on check forgeries. More Former Jurors Called. Returning to the subject again, Burns declared his son handled all of the reports that were received in the New York office. “I hope you boys will give me just as much space on my story as you gave those who talked about me in this case,” Burns stated, adding that “when I come out of the grand jury room I'll tell you everything and the district attorney will ‘likewise tell you.” Burns then was_taken into the grand jury room by Burkinshaw. Three members of the trial jury, Miss Bernice Heaton, Robert B. Flora and Bradnor W. Holmes,* were summoned to appear before the grand jury this morning. Abie Goldstein, member of an Oc- tober panel, likewise was called. As he emerged from the grand jury room, Burns surrounded himself with newspaper men and in an oratorical manner related what he declared was his agents’ relation with the case. “We came hefore the grand jury.' he declared, “and stated to the dis- trict attorney we would waive im- munity and would bring all our opera- tives here without subpoena and chal- lenge closest scrutiny of our work. “We have nothing whatever to hide. The public has been led to believe we had no right to shadow the jury. We were clearly within our rights as the defense has the same right as the prosecution. “Of course we have no right to approach a juror—that would be in violation of the law and if any Burns detective did that we would assist the Government in prosecuting. him. Accuses Government Operative. “In our work,” Burns almost shout- ed, “we found tampering with the jury by the Government itself. We filed an affidavit in court to that effect. The agents reported to Ruddy and he told the Government. While follow- ing a juror our agent, William Long. saw a car come in between his and the juror's. The car went to the juror’s home and later the juror came out and got in his own car and went to the Potomac Flying Service Field. Our agent saw this man get out and call the juror to one side and talk for 20 minutes. He took the number of the car and found it was a Govern- ment operative.” “The affidavit was filed early last Friday with Justice Siddons and the report has been with the District at torney since last Monday. Long identified the man in the car and Ruddy (local manager of the agency) verified this. “I want you to know we had a per- fect right to do what we did. T have been investigating jurors for the Gov- ernment for 35 years. Bring in the Government agents who have been following the Burns men as we have read so much about in the papers. Where are they? You don't see any of them_ here. “For 35 years T have worked for the Government and 1 have sent biz men to prison. T am the fellow they are after—not the Burns agency. Ail the radicals don’t like me because I put them out of business.” Burns declared the defense made no previous investigation of the jury and assumed it would be locked up. When it was found the jury ‘“would turned loose,” and “with all the prej- udice here against Fall, Sinclair and Doheny and with Congre passing laws to facilitate the prosecution,” it to deg: i intere of the was necessary to see that a fair and For Perfect Sight or “Vision Not Visionary” —you should get our about y advice our eyes.

Burns said the private detectives heird that “a newspaper man went to one of the jury and tried to get him drunk. The newspaper man had no right to go out and make an investiga- tion like that. If he-had heen a Bur detective they would have put him in jail.” The mewspaper man referred to, Donald King, was in the group of interviewers and one of Burns' men | pointed him out. To King, Burns de- clared, “You should have been arrested and brought hefore the court.” King said he appreciated Burns' thought- fulness in the matter. Inquiry Ts Extended. investigation took a wider rang today when Burkinshaw learned that members of the panel from which the trial jury was selected had felt they were heing shadowed hy Department of Justice agents. One of the veniremen, it was learned, had been called on the telephone and told to “watch your step” if he became a member of the jury, because Depart- ment of Justice agents were shadow- ing all members. This, the Govern- ment contends, was a direct effort to influence the jury against the Gov- ernment. No agent of the Department of Justice, the Government 1, had in any w been used in connection with the oil conspiracy trial. It is charged. however, that the Burns agents dogged the footsteps of the juror were well supplied with funds to car on_their work.

In State of Warfare. In spite of the Federal injunctions nted in some places against union nterference, such hostile encamp- ments have, of course, produced the inevitable result. Men, women and children on hoth sides have been as- wited. Tipples, offices, homes, bridges and barracks almost without number have been burned, bombarded or_dynamited. In more than a few lonely towns, night after night, scores of shots from the snipers concealed in the hills have been heard, answered perhaps by the sputter of machine guns from behind the tipple's piled sandbags. In the Pittsburgh district alone’ the deaths since May are belleved con- servatively to total at least a score.
