Theory of Detectives.

The theory OF the Pinkertons Is that
NAV and Perkins planned and carried out
inc arrangement 10 secure the Badger
information. Until August ]. Nav was
assistant district manaGer OF the Bell
Telephone company. In this capacity
he became acquainted with Perkins who
~ the time of his arrest was chief In
stailcr for The Rcl COMPANY. In his ca
pscitv as installer for the Bell COMPANY
Perkins could go through buildings and
string wires without attracting suspicion.
He went 10 the office Of Badger Bros.
recently and asked 10 hc admitted 10
the basement. He said, that ne wished
20 20 there in his capacity as telephone
installer In order TO trace u wire Nv.

Raid Carefully Planned.

AZ the time the arrests were made
there were operators on each Of the lines
The raid on the offices was planned for
ll:SO. Fifteen minutes before that time
Sheriff Sharp drove In his automobile TO
the office of Badger Bros On arriving
there he noticed man watching the
Badger office closely, lie went in and
asked GeorGe 7. Badger concerning this
man, Mr.. Badger. who had previously
this man as Perkins, Al that time Il
was thought Perkins was trying TO signal
some one The theory OF the officers is
that Perkins recognized the sheriff and
tried 10 get into the vacant building next
door, either To diSconncct the wire or 10
warn others OF the approach of the Of
6cers.
On learning OF the Identify of Perkins
the sheriff placed him under arrest
taking him into the Badger office until
the others were taken into custody. SUI
perintendent Willsie declares that Perkins
admitted doing the wiring and said that
he was paid well for It, Perkins last
night declined 10 make any statement,
saying he would make the facts public
in due time.
When the office in tho Walker build
ing was ralded. McAlister was found
seated AT q table wearing a telephone
head SCI connected with a wire said 10
be the one leading to the vibrator. |,
was declared that he interpreted the
message and that May communicate ed

One OF the difficulties OF the wire
tracers was encountered In these cables.
One OF the cables was d0Owlre cable
and another a I00-wre cable. At the
entrance TO each cable the tracers lost
the wire and II was necessary TO test
every wire in order TO discover which
was being used to transmit the alleged
stolen inforWa ton. II was also highly
important that the testing Of these wires

under suspicion To make a disconneGtiom

The tracing OF this wire was finally
completed q few days ago and the de
tectives then laid plans to secure ev!-
dence that this wire. was being used for
the purpose OF stealing information
which came over The Badger wire. Ex-
perienced telegraphers cut In on the wire
with telephone testing sets. and Tor sew

what came over the wire. According
