NEW w., August l3.a. George
r.. Haswell, Edward J. Hall, George
Marshall and VIM. Roe, who were ar
rested on a charge of completely in
the forging of the bonds of the Cali
fornia and Oregon Railroad Company,
were brought up before Justice War
dell to-day. AT the opening of the
proceedings Mr.. Gale, Secretary for
Mr.. Huntington, Vice-President of
the Southern Pacific Railroad, said
that the above named road and the
California and Oregon Railroad Com
pany had consolidated, and
that the Central Pacific had assumed
all the debts of the latter. At this
point one of the forged bonds was
shown him, which he said looked ex-
actly like the genuine bonds, but he
had no doubt it was forgery. Mr..
Brook, counsel for Haswell and Mar
shall, then rose and said that when
Mr.. Gale was sworn he would ask for
the discharge of his clients on the
ground that witness could not say
whether or not the bond was for
gerry. On this remark, Detective
Bond asked the Court to adjourn the
case, so as to give him time to secure
the attendance of one of the Assistant
District Attorneys to condnct the
prosecution. Judge Wartell said the
request was reasonable and adjourned
the examination until Monday.
