WARRINGTON, June l6.-Tho trial Of John 8.
Shriver. the contumacious newspaper CORE
spondcnt, was resumed this morning before JUS
tice Bradley. Judge A. J. Dittonhoeffer. for the
defence. concluded his argument on the motion
asking the court to instruct the jury to bring in
a verdict Of =" not guilty" He said that II Mr..
Shriver had revealed to the Senate committee
the source OF his information be would havo
been dissrnced in his profession.
Justice Bradley asked him II no meant that n
witness wis justified in declining to answer
questions because he had promised SOM one
not to answer.
Judge Dittenhoefrer said that ho referred only
to newspaper men. Thomas jefferson said: " 1t
is better TO have q FREQ press without a free
government than q FREQ government without q
free press"
"ldon't see. said Justice Bradley. how you
can have a free government without a free
press."
You can't" replied Dittenhoetfer. He added
that some court would have the honor OF laying
down the law protecting newspaper men. and
he asked this court 20 be the one to do so.

were within the scope Of the inquiry. Mr.. Baker
pointed out that Senator Davis had notified
Shriver that 1t was his duty to answer the
questions, and that he would be anenable to the
law. He also hold that the charge OF contumacy
was based on the first question. which he de-
clined to answer until he had consulted counsel.
Mr.. Baker did not deal with the point made by
Judge Dittenhoeffer that newspaper mon should
be excepted from testifying as to the source Of
their Information. saying that 1t was not worth
consideration.
u. the conclusion OF Mr.. Bakers remarks Jus.
tice Bradley said that he would like to have the
views OF the Government regarding the proper
Bummoning Of Mr.. Shriver. He said 1t was a ques-
ton az to whether II was not essential to the
prosecution OF a contumacious witness under
the statute that the said witness should have
been properly summoned. II no should appear
OF his own accord. and. being sworn, should
decline to answer certain questions, II Is doubt
full IL he could be punished under the statute,
which expressly provides, ANY witness having
been summoned"
Mr.. Shriver was summoned by verbal process,
but the prosecution will take the ground that in
responding TO that process the defendant waived
the right to protect himself behind the failure to
serve q written process.
