directed the attention of the committee to the
reply Of the witness when he last appeared be-
fore the committee, refusing to deliver to the
committee the kilograms sent and received by
parties mentioned In the writ who had not
given their consent to have them delivered to
The committee. Mr.. salisbury then stated that

the terms of the writ. Mr. Thomson, the COM

postpone further consideration OF that question
until after the holiday recess, and stated that
the telegraph company would be glad to have
the committee allow them this time in which to
consider whether they would or would not allow
Mr.. Smith to produce these kilograms. He wish

stand that the company in making this request
did not wish to trfe with the time of the COM

legislature made similar request and ordered
their manager under arrest for refusing to COM

The committee after consultation granted the
company s request forpOstpO and notified
MI. Smith that he must hold himself In readf-

he would be required to produce only such OF
