Cjteuss,u eIe as 10 the meaning and operation OF
The law OF C0ugIess OF 1916. concerning witnesses,
to wLicL Dr. Howe alludes IN a recent letter. Here
il is:
THAT On the application Of any attorney Of n.

son no all te comp etent witness, and whose tes.

The letter Of the statute H. II would be pleasant TO
klow that the United States had not by accident or
Gesiep, enacted 4 law capable Of so mOnstrous
Construction ss DR.. Howe and his friends give il
But the difficulty in the way of receiving The POas
construction il, that cases on record 10 which
tie Lw has bel excrcised by Judge Curtis, and by
cilerF, 10 compel witnesses y distant State to he
biCuehi before Them. In "a pending trial OF Ste
Ilrs ho has been turned over 10 the United States
Court il is Tot prudent TO expect that any milder
course vii BE- pursued. Nobody doubts that the
tIiA If stepheLs is to be for political purpose.

Tie article IN The Post is probably from the pen
Of Ben. Hallett. No reliance should Be placed on
IT, fOr II Hallett were not the most nlendacioss and
unscl uyulous Of politicians, he is such an uDeI-
,u Plea burderer, that hs legal opinions are not Of
the sig hiest value.
