and bringing great pressure to bear upon
witnesses in the case. In lief he intimated

desired to Introduce testimony in support Of
his allegations.
District Attorney Barnes objected to new
testimony being introduced, saying THAT it is
immaterial In haDeas corpus case. The
evidence must be the same as that heard by
the committing magistrate.
Justice Beatty denied tho right of Curtis
to introduce new testimony on the writ,
