The article referenced where the REPORTER IS GRILLING the doctor's wife:
CHICAGO TRIBUNE Saturday, December 4, 1875
_________ * _________

A Tribune reporter yesterday again visited the offices of Dr. E. P. B. Wilder, corner of Twentysecond street and Indiana avenue, but was not able to find any new clew as to the absent physician's whereabouts, and it is not at all likely that, under existing circumstances, he will be apt to turn up in this vicinity and bear identification with any great degree of pride.

Dr. E. P. B. Wilder was want to take his meals at the residence of his mother, No. 110 Lake avenue, where be also slept a portion of the time. He was married in June last, and, like many other young men, has been rather unfortunate since putting on the matrimonial harness.

About two years ago he had quite a successful practice in the neighborhood in which he resided, and where he had his office at the time he so suddenly left.
He moved to South Chicago, where he managed to pick up a living, but, his wife becoming dissatisfied with the locality, the Doctor returned to his old field, but found not the patronage he so stridently desired.
His wife and brother Dr. F. M. Wilder we’re found in the deserted office yesterday. It is hardly necessary to say that Dr. F. M. Wilder feels the disgrace fallen upon his brother keenly. This gentleman is beyond reproach, and his professional reputation stands high in the neighborhood, where he has resided many years.

In conversation with Dr. F. M. Wilder yesterday, he stated that he could hardly believe that his brother was engaged in such a business as raising bodies. Those who have known Dr. F. M. Wilder for ten years say that he has always won the respect and confidence of the community, and was generally well liked, and his professional brethren with whom he has been called into consultation state that he is a welleducated physician, and of good sound, and practical judgment.

The accusation of his brother has FALLEN HEAVILY upon him, but the public will not hold him responsible for so serious a crime, with which he had not the remotest connection whatever.

Mrs. E. P. B. Wilder, who was at the office, is a woman of more than average intelligence, and a good conversationalist, with rather pleasing but sharplyout features, and a prominent nose. She stated to Tribune Reporter that SHE BELIEVED HER HUSBAND INNOCENT, and that she was surprised that the four men now under arrest should have made such remarkable statements as had been published in the Tribune.

“But”, interrogated the Reporter: “How do you account for your husband leaving so suddenly?”
Mrs. W.: “Oh, well, he was not so big a rogue as others, perhaps. He did not care to face public opinion.
Rep.: “And perhaps if he was innocent the public might judge it queer that he ran away. Don’t you think so?”
Mrs. W.: “I don’t know. You may be a bigger rogue than he is”.
Rep.: “I presume I am. Reporters generally are. At least some people would like to think so.”
Mrs. W.: “Oh no! I believe you’re a straightforward young man.”

The reporter modestly pocketed this complement, as became him.
Mrs. Wilder stated that her husband could not possibly have been out on Tuesday night, that he was not at Graceland at all, and didn’t believe that he had anything to do with the raising of the corpses.
He came home Tuesday evening shortly after 7 o’clock and stayed there all night, sleeping with her, and leaving Wednesday morning.

Rep.: “I presume he is safe?”
Mrs. W.: “Yes, I think so, and I think my husband has brains enough to take care of himself.”
Rep.: “You’ll probably hear from him in a week?”
Mrs. W.: “I think it is more than likely. I presume he is safe, but I know he is innocent of any crime.”
