EXPLAINS
THEFT OF LETTERS
Standard Oil Magnate liners
That William r. Hearst
Traded With Thief.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3O.-Inferring
that William Il. Hearst is little bet
ter than a common chief, in that he
purchased from a thief the letters
upon which he based his recent poIit-
ical disclosures, John d. Archbold,
vice president of the Standard oil
Company, gives the following account
Of the looting Of his private archives:
over three years ago a report reach
cd Lne that certain OF my letters had
been offered for sale TO newspapers Of
this city, avOwedly as stolen letters.
Examination showed that some letters
were missing. and that they could onIy
have been taken by some one not only
familiar with the office details, but
highly trusted.
The party on whom suspicion fell
stoUuy denied all guilt A little Later,
however. a man who represented him
self as acting between the thief and
those TO whom the letters had been sold,
proposed to return some Of the letters
for a consideration
His story was that the idea OF the
theft had been conceived by his broth
er. who had at one time been in the
cOmpauy's employ. and that his brother
had induced the employe already Eus-
Pected to accomplish the theft. Ac-
cording TO the go-betWeen's story. he
had disposed Of the letters OF some Of
them 70 two men, who purchased them
on behalf Of Mr.. Hearst's newspaper.
the Journal
Not only had stOleH letters been thus
traded for, but the thief was induced TO
carry of one or more letter copying
books, many Of whose pages he claims
We're photographed, other pages being
sremOved altogether. The books in qUes-
ton were. the gO-between said, returned
after fOTty-eight hours. 1t IS impossible
10 say bow many were stolen and sold
in this way. Tho thieves worked at
their leisure
1t IS not thought necessary 10 say
more at present or t. mention names
Confederation Of the go-beJween story
Of three years ago lay In his return
of some Of the correspondence at the
I time. The production Of stolen letters
by Mr. Hearst IS further cOrru bOratiOn
now. Obviously, among such cOterie,
authenticity Of their output is not 20 be
lightly accepted The opportunities for
falsihcation, suppressing Of context, dis
/ tOrtlon OF passages, are many
