Governor Gets Hot.


At this point Darrow interrupted.
DO you think any capable lawyer
would allow his client to go before
the grand jury whether he were
guilty or innocent?" the Chicago at
torney demanded.
"An innocent man could be per-
mitted to go anywhere" said Cam
eron.
81 most decidedly disagree with
you," Darrow retorted.
District Attorney Cameron brought
down the wrath of Governor John
son on his head by remarking that
it was said outside that the extra
dition hearing was unusual.
81 want you to understand that
this proceeding is not unusual"
Johnson responded hotly. "It is the
same that governors of California be-
fore me have held and it is the same
that those after me will hold. These
are questions of Importance.
Furthermore, 1 wish to call your
attention, Mr.. Cameron, to the fact
that your own governor has held just
such hearings in extradition cases
since January l."
Wilde Is Safe.
After this the governor announced
his determination to not grant ex-
! tradition in the case of the former
Portland banker unless it could be
shown that he was guilty of embez-
element.
When Cameron objected to the
ruling Johnson suggested that Cam
eron see Attorney General Webb.
81 will furnish you with a copy Of
the finding of the Encouragement
holding that Wilde is not guilty"
said Johnson. 81 suggest that you
confer with him and that you present
your case to him. If you can con-
vince him that Wilde is guilty and he
so informs me, in an opinion, / will
grant the extradition. Not other
wise"
Cameron announced that he would
confer with Webb as soon as possi-
BILE. 1t was said at the governors
office that Webb is not in the city,
and the conference probably can not

tically the same, and that from all
his experience he could find no pre-
cedent that would serve to show
Wilde was guilty.
Cameron suggested that Wilde be
extradited, promising that if he were
taken to Portland he would be per-
mitted to go before the grand jury,
where he could submit his own
case, showing that he was innocent,
if that were the fact.
"I am sure" said Cameron, that
if Wilde is not guilty, the grand jury
