Vawter said he received some advice
from c. S. A. Frost, the court examiner,
in regard to the posse comitatus which

The witness then related some CONVEX

conversations which he overheard. Here
is a bit on Judge Ross:
I overheard in January 1901 Judge Noyes say
that Judge Ross sandlotter and put in
office by the disreputable element Of California,
and he proposed to see whether Judge Ross
would question him.
The witness also overheard Noyes say
in a conversation with DR.. Sheldon Jack
son:

no more fit to egislate for US than the Circuit
Court to adjudicate. Just walt till Mckenzie
gets down there; he'll make the fur fly and

After this came the talk of Gaylen and
Senator Carter, who was mentioned last

You say Frost not only said damn the

"I thought he was unduly alarmed over

a rumor at that time that the Lane people
