When Hallett Kilhourn, the recu-
SAINT witness, yesterday addressed a
letter to the speaker of the house re-
minding him OF his duty under the
forty-third section Of the revised

the district attorney, Kilbourn made
demand that the certificate required
be given by the speaker SO that he
might enjoy the right to q aspeedy aud
