Nordskog, a private detective, on a charge of tapping a telephone wire leading to the Burns National Detective office, in the Hinckley block, promises to develop into a sensational case involving certain higher-ups. The evidence against Nordskog and involving others was gathered by the Burns agency and the warrant for the arrest was issued by Prosecutor Murphy, who announced today that he would push the prosecution of all involved to the limit. Nordskog;, it appears, was employed by the Burns agency during the Hanford investi gation but was discharged ju>t before the congressional investigation of Hartford wan be gun. It is alleged that soon after his discharge he was employed by person* interested in saving Ifanford, and sensational charges of attempts to tamper with witnesses in the Ifanford case are made in this connection. PICTURES SHOW WIRE TAPPING PROSECUTOR MURPHY DOESN'T PROMISE DETECTIVE IMMUNITY According to Prosecuting Attor ney Murphy, Detective Nordskog. while not broaching the subject In definite terms, put a number of suggestive questions to him relut ing to the prosecuting attorney's policy with regard to promising Im munity when he made his state ment about the wire tapping Satur day. "I told him that the prosecuting attorney's office was not in the habit of promising Immunity. 1 told him that the truth ought to be told whether It Involved no one else or Involved a dor.cn of the moat prominent people in Seattle. Nordskog came up to iti> office with Deputy Prosecutor White, whom 1 sent after him. We out lined the cfcae against lilui Nords kog tried to remain unmoved for while. "He told me that he whs not con scious of any law breaking., when I charged him with not only tap ping Ihe wires but using the Infor mation to aid In the obstruction of Justice by selling valuable items he thus learned so that certain people got away from th« authori ties In important cases. Nordskog paled perceptibly when I turned to him. saying: " 'I know that you have In your pocket at this very minute a little memorandum book in which you HUNS BACK TO HANFORD CASE. | This photograph shows Norda kog's room and hla fakad phone In Iha Right hotel.

"Nordskog had nothing to say In reply to that. The little book was afterward taken from him when he waH booked at the city Jail. "Neither did Nordskog have an\ reply when 1 »ald to him: "'You were right when you told a certain person a few days ar.o that Murphy must not, under any cir cumstances, find out that you tap ped the wires, for there would something awful be to pay for It.'

It is hinted that Nordskog had a confederate who took turns with him at the receiver of hia fake pbone. Not Afraid. Bay« Detective. "I am not afraid of the trnth." ! 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 policy for a man in Jail, fighting along against a big machine, to commit himself so that his stnte ! ments could be distorted " Nordskog refused to sav whether a certain publisher was hla em ployer. He would not deny It. either. His Statement to Murphy. Referring to his conversation with John F Murphy, prosecuting attorney. In the presence of Deputy Prosecutor White and Manager Walter Thayer of the Durni agency, yesterday, N'ordskog 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." "I did not ask Murphy whether l.e would prosecute any accom plices of mine In thle case " \ordn kog said. this morning. "I merely talked to him in a general way to Inform myself In the law as to my rights. I put a hypothetical caae to Murphy, asking him what the usual procedure was In a case where more than one was Involved. 1 -Ask ed him whether all Involved were equally prosecuted. Murphy replied that It was up to the prosecutor." Nordskog admitted he was cmu tloned by Prosecutor Murphy that whatever he would say ma> he used against him Then, referring re sentfully to Murphy and Thayer, be said: "When the whole story la told thev will smell their own tracks."
