Nordskog, it is allegéd, rented a small room in the Right hotel, which is two blocks from the Hinekley building, where the Burns concern has its offices. Nordskog, who is an expert electrician, tap ed the wires going to — the Burns office and then ran his wire | through a network over the build- \ings and brought it through the top of the window of his room. Here he attached a receiver, such as tek ephone girls use, and thus he could sit and write down the conversa- tions which passed over the Burns wire. It is hinted that Nordskog had a confederate who took turns with him at the receiver of his fake phone. Not Afraid. Says Detective. “I am not afraid of the truth,” Nordskog told a Star reporter this | morning. He refused, however, to talk spe- cifically about the charge against him, on the ground that “it is not poliey for & man in jail, fighting along against a big machine, to ;commit himself so that his state- ments could be distorted” Nordskog refused to say whether certain publisher was his em- | ployer.

Murphy, prosecuting attorney, in the presence of Deputy Prosecutor White and Manager Walter Thayer of the Burns agency, yesterday, Nordakog admitted that he “might have said” to Murphy something to this effect: “I don't see why you are squeez- ing me. I'm only a small fish.” “IT did not ask Murphy whether Le would prosecute any accom- plices of mine in this case” Nords- kog said, this morning. “I merely tolked to him in a general way to inform myself in the law as to my rights. I put a hypothetical case to Murphy, asking him what the ustal procedure was in a case where more than one was involved. I ask- jed him whether all involved were | equally prosecuted.
