70 sum UP soYeRs CASE.
The Senate WIN Dispose of IT Befor,
Taking Up the Others

HARRISBURG, Oct. 27.-In the senate the
remainder Of the testimony taken by the
state treasury investigating committee
not reached az Fridays session was read,
after which Senator Grady, OF Philadel-
phia, surprised the Democratic senators by
Offering resolution authorizing counsel
for State Treasurer Boyer 10 proceed with
their arguments in this case before the eX-
Eminations OF the other officials mentioned
In the proclamations of the governor to
the senate. As the case Of Auditor Gen
rral McCamant had been started. the
Democrats opposed the resolution. The
calling Of the roll showed the absence Of
quorum and the senate adjourned until
8 p. IN. Az the night session she resolu-
ton was adopted by party vote.
Senator Ross, Democrat, OF Bucks, Of
iered resolution providing that the ques-
tion Of the senate's jurisdiction in the in
vestigation could not again be raised OF
discussed before that body
Senator Ross contended that the adop-
tion OF the rule providing for the taking
Of testimony was an assumption that the
senate had jurisdiction in the matters be-
fore it, As It had been stated that two Of
the counsel FOR the accused proposed TO
discuss the power Of the senate to address
the governor for the removal Of the state
treasurer and auditor general Senator
Ross wanted the question Of jurisdiction
settled. Il would work no hardship or in
justice TO the defendants TO have immedi-
ate action
Senator Goblin, Republican, Of Lebanon,
took the position that there should be no
limit as to the action of counsel regarding
arguments ON facts aud law, aud the as
sumption Of jurisdiction was not deci-
sion. The attempt 20 deny the right Of
counsel for the accused was a species Of
gag law.
Senator Ross. he said, had iutimated
that the majority Of the senate might
shut out John Bardsley and William
lsivsey, the missing ex-state treasurer, as
witnesses whose testimony was Of great
Importance. AS TO Bardsley, he thought
means could be adopted to get him out
Of the penitentiary for the purpose Of pro-
ducing him before the senate as witness.
Senator Goblin said there was no further
use Of wasting time on these people, as
both were out OF the jurisdiction OF the
senate As to his wishes, he greatly de-
sired the presence Of Bardsley aud full
statement from him in the interest OF a
thorough investigation Remarks against
Senator Ross resolution were also made
by Senator Grady and for it by Senator
Greene, after which IL was defeated by a
party vote, and the senate adjourned.
The attorney general was not present at
the sessions because Of a state case which
required him 10 appear before the supreme
court at PIttsburg.
