If the statement of Wctmore, eX-man.
ager of the New York iron mine, is cor
rect, the lorcible taking OF the books by
The Tilden interest has a rather suspi-
cious look. Wetmore says That during
his IA years colMeetiog with the mine he
was corporation or partner, owning ono
fourth OF the stock, and Tildcn the re-
mainder, and that the books Were kept
in duplicate; Que set in New York and
the other in Marquette, If this be true
the conclusion is Irresistible that Tflden
with a complete set OF the books in his
possession, had the other set taken for
the purpose of suppressing the evidence
of his income tax suits. Perhaps, how
ever. the Tildrn sile has another explaI
alton of the matter, but until sutisfac-
tory explanation is given they will rest
under deserved imputatiOn OF committing
a bold and reckless act to conceal damag-
ing evidence.
