At the afternoon session of the Court
Controller Dunn was placed upon the stand
and testified as to tenders OF money col
lected for railroad taxes by the Attorney.
General One tender was made on june
11th of S474,062 80 and another on Septem-
Der 18th of 1920 APO IS. These were the
only formal tenders made. but he had
numerous conversations with Marshall
about the tax money prior to June 1lth
Witness said he had accepted none of the
money on the ground that it was no part
of the revenue of the State, as he was adj
vised by lawyers, and even if he had beer
disposed to accept the money il would have
been impossible for him to certify it into
the Treasury. The Attorney General had
never transmitted to him any statement o.
the tax money in detail of the years fol
which it was due and for which years il
was on account He testified that he had
asked the Attorney General for such state.
ment, but had received none as vet. In
fact, the Attorney General had never an.
swered the letter.
Dunn then read the correspondence which
passed between the Attorney General and
himSelfrelative TO the matter. Witness gave
as an additional reason for refusing thu
money, that Judge Field had stated that h,
would not reopen any of those cases unless
the money was placed in the hands of tn,
Court. or returned 70 the railroad com
panies, and that no one had any power Il
draw it from the treasury if once PLACED
therein.
An adjournment was then taken till II
O'Clock tomorrow morning.
