Of the statements made by William S. King and
John G. Schumacher. General Butler stated that
it was not proper or lawful that any testimony,
papers or anidavits should be laId before

relevant to be laid before peut jury. He
cited several authorities and ask d the Court to
instruct the Grand Jury as to what evidence they
