which exists 10 the law for applying for
witnesses frequently results IN innumerable
persons being served With process with no
knowledge Of the matters and which on

That some reform has been established
in this respect in the Harris county crimi-
nal court Is clearly shown by the records
Of witness fees which Post representative
