We are not showing our hand to everyone who comes along. If he can show us some thing in this case that has been over looked. then we’ll think he knows what he is talking about, but unless he does show something, we ll attach no importance, whatever, to his state ments.” Detective Scott declined to discuss the Burns detective's theory or posi tion in the case. As to the Pinker ton’s part in the affair, he said: "We have worked this case from fully 500 different angles. Every pos sible phase and feature has been in vestigated. Nothing has been over looked.
