FIGHTING THE BELL PHONE
More Time Given the United States
to Take Testimony.
f'sRcmfing 10 the Drawbaugh Claim
3. of Priority of Invention.

Boston, Dec. 30.-Judge Colt In the
United States circuit court today gave the
United States until May 81, S96, in which
to take evidence in rebuttal in the case OF
the United States VS.. the American Bell
Telephone Company and Alexander Graham
Bell, in which the question OF fraud in
procuring the Bell Company's patents is
raised. Judge Colt refused to limit the
goyernmentto the question of fraud raised.
The government has taken a vast amount
of evidence in support OF the claim OF
Daniel Drawbaugh and the defendants
have taken countervailing evidence on the
same issues. The government now wishes
TO take evidence to rebut defendants evil
dence, and the court has given time for that
purpose without restricting the govern
ment from taking evidence on the question
of alleged priority OF invention, which 1t
would have done had it granted request
OF the defendants.
From present Indications the end Of the
case is not yet in sight, although it has been
pending for nearly nine years. The bill
was first filed in January, 1857; demurrers
were filed and sustained by the circuit court,
but on appeal the deinurrer's were overruled
and an amended bill was filed I'm December,
1909, ditsT WHICH ans WeFS were Illeu dnc
other proceedings taken, but 1t was not until
December, $50, nearly three years after
suit was brought, that evidence for the gov
ernnent began to be taken.
This part of the case went on for about
two years, or until January l 1, 1892, when
the direct evidence for the government was
in. From that time until November of
the present year, the defendants have been
putting in their testimony. The govern
ment now comes in and asks for an cx-
tension o nearly six months, which the court
has granted.
At the hearing today counsel for the Bell
company said that If the government was
not restricted as requested 1t would not
only take six months TO take the evidence in
rebuttal, but more than twice six months.
After the evidence is all in, the case has
still TO be heard by the court and after
that it can be ended for several years to
that on appeal, so that It is not probable
