A lively row occurred when Manager
George Sem of the Western Union Tele-
graph Office in Sacramento took his seat
in the witness-stand. He had been SUBJ
penaed to produce kilograms of the de-
PENDANTS and others. On being asked for
these dispatches Sem made the usual OPP
position TO the production of the dis
patches. He refused to answer the ques-
ton of Carroll Cook as to whether he had
brought the dispatches spoken OF. The
witness said the subpoena was illegal as it
was not specific enough. Cook read the
subpoena. 1t called for all dispatches sent

mix himself in the row as it lay between
the attorneys and their witness. but he
thought the constitutional rights of the
citizen should be regarded. The Judge at
first ordered the witness to answer the
question and then said he would have to
have authorities. Hart said he had no in
terest in the case except-''amicus euria, ="
interjeced Alvin Bruner.
"NO, not Americas curia," cried Hart,
"but casus belli. 1t is matter of public
notoriety that during the time Of the war
in Sacramento the constitution has
been violated. Mems houses have been
searched, women's trunks have been
opened and their contents scattered on the
floor, property has been stolen which has
never been returned; in fact, everything
has been done that is an outrage, and the
question is here whether a man can be
protected from unreasonable search.
ject 10 the kind of tyranny which is
being used in this case. carried out by
military force in Sacramento and at
tempted by judicial force in the town of
Woodland"
Carroll Cook and Alvin Bruner asked
the court to give Sem written order,
but Judge Fisher ordered them to bring
their authorities and the matter was con-
tinued and Sem excused.
