chief counsel of the Brotherhood Of LO-

the demands as contained in the motion

Il received notification of the motion
today said Mr.. Murphy. I don't know
when they VIII apply for an order but
we have instructed our clients to make
a vigorous search for all the letters,
communications and records which are
desired and turn them over to the
courts.
The motion asks for a number. Of let
ters which passed between the lodges
and the members and the leaders.
Most of these letters were written
with pen and ink and only important
parts or them were put in the minutes
On account Of this it is obvious that
many of them have either been lost or
destroyed and cannot be found or du-
plcated. Otherwise all that can be
found viii be sent to US a S soon as DOS
sible as well as the records desired.
We have absolutely nothing to con-
ceal in this matter. and are perfectly
willing to comply with the motion"
Mr. Murphy expressed confidence that
the injunction would be dissolved.
Because Of the motion having been
filed so late last night it was decided
by the attorneys of the Wabash not to
move for the order against the commit
. tee of the Wabash tomorrow demanding
that they produce the letters and rec
ords, but to notify their attorneys in
order that they may prepare demurrer.
to the order if they desire or furnish the
letters which would render the order
unnecessary.
1T is stated that in the event applied
tomorrow the defendants can only meet
it on the two propositions either by
showing that the letters have been de-
strOyed or else producing then.''
