testify on matters purely private and en-
urely outside Of any Of the Issues involved
then. by the same process. a notary public
could compel any citizen TO divulee the
rrlVate and secret matters Of his business
| IN any lawsuit whatever
in this case the restaurant and bo,.,
Keepers OF this city asked for an Injunction
restraining the Walters union and ~,
members Of it from interfering with or IN.
timidating their customers and iniuriDp
their business The court had dismissed ~

on the stand and asked for informatior
pertaining 10 the lime and cement business

no connection between the lime and cemen,
