AFTERNOON SESSION.
Upon the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion Court Reporter Mulligan, at the re-
quest of Carroll Cook, was instructed by
the court to mark for identification the
kilograms read at the morning session.
At the suggestion of General Hart all
the kilograms were admitted in evidence,
and those that were not read during the
morning session were ordered marked
also.
General Hart then proceeded with the
cross-eXamination of witness George
Senf.
Witness did not remember that tele-
gram was sent through his office to Will
lows, saying, Armed assistance would
through his Office, as there was no record
of it.
Witness could not remember in what
paper be had seen the publication in ref
erence to this dispatch. He had never
seen the Willows Journal: said he did
read the RECORD UNION sometimes.
j. K. Beede, Manager of the Postal Tel
egraph Company Of Sacramento was next
sworn:
Mr.. Cook asked the court to make an
order requiring the Postal Telegraph
Company to produce kilograms sent by
members of the American Railway Union
with reference to the strike, as had been
done in the morning session requiring
the Western Union Company to do so.
Attorney William Wood of San Fran
cisco, legal adviser of the Postal Tele-
graph Company here, addressed the Court
at length and asked the permission of the
Court to state the positions of the Postal
Company with regard to the production
of private telegrams. The substance of
Attorney Woods argument was that the
subpoena was not sufficient legal docu-
ment, inasmuch as it did not distinguish
any particular kilograms, and bore no de-
scription, mark or order by which the
company was to know what special mes
sages were referred to. Counsel cited de-
cisions of the Supreme Courts of Missouri
and California in similar cases, and pro-
duced copy of subpoena in one of the
cited cases, in which it was decided that
the subpoena was not sufficient. He
claimed that the subpoena in that case was
more particularly descriptive than in
this. He referred to various authorities
10 sustain his point, and asked that the
kilograms be submitted to the court to be
passed upon before being passed to coun-
sci.
Carroll Cook replied to the effect that
the subpoena referred to was much more
general than the one in the present case.
The subpoena gives the time and places
and says the kilograms are necessary
and material" !" therefore it fills all the re-
quirements.
At the close of extended argument
upon the point in issue by Attorneys
Cook, Bruner and Woods, Judge Fisher
said that he considered the subpoena suifi-
cient and overruled the objection.
General Hart here made another appli-
cation for bail, which was refused by
Judge Fisher, whereupon Hart an
nounced that unless the prosecution pro-
duce something material before o'clock
Monday he should demand bail.
The court commanded the witnesses to
be present at 10 o'clock Monday, to
which hour court stood adjourned.
