here entered the controversy and
moved that Seymour be given the right
to proceed. The motion carried and the
District Attorney continued:
"If Mr.. Gator will listen as patiently
to me as l did to him 1 will soon show
this committee why these men should
not be sworn. I will say. if Mr.. Gator
objects to my remarks heretofore made,
that there is reasonable cause to be-
lieye that a grave offense has been
committed by two at least of the ac-
cused men. and they should be placed
on trial In the criminal courts for their
acts.
what would be the legal effect II
they are sworn here?
CITES THE CODE.
Section 304 of the Political Code,
bearing directly on this case, will free
these men from any prosecution what
ever if they are sworn here. This Sec
ton reads as follows:
No person sworn and examined be-
fore either house of the Legislature or
any committee thereof can be held to
answer criminally or be subject to any
penalty for forfeiture for any fact or
act touching which he is required to
testify: nor is any statement made or
any paper produced by any such wit
ness competent evidence in any crimi-
nal proceeding against such witness
nor can such witness refuse to testify
to any fact or to produce any paper
touching which he is examined, for the
reason that his testimony or the pro-
duction OF such paper may tend to dis
grace him or render him Infamous.
Nothing in this section exempts any
witness from prosecution and punish

ment for perjury committed by him on
such examination.
Senator Simpson again interrupted
the District Attorney and asked him
if he knew of any rule under which
the committee could refeuse to swear
the accused. Seymour answered as
follows:
mo, I do not. These proceedings
are unusual. and / doubt that such
rule can be found. but public interest
demands that you grant my request
and refuse to swear these witnesses.
My duty is plain and the courts should
be given. the right TO determine the
merits of this case. If they are guilty
they should be punished for their acts
and disqualified to hold office of public
trust forever.
What punishment can you mete out
to them? All you can do. is to expel
them from the Senate and can you do
that? Under the law il takes a two
thirds vote to expel a member from
either house and in this instance they
have four votes themselves. Then they
would have to rally but ten friends
around them and they would be safe
from all your efforts. If you swear
these men they will be absolved from
prosecution, and can never be held to
answer criminally for this offense or
any offense upon which they are called
to testify.
Il ask you in all earnestness that
you do not swear them. Are you go
ing to tie the hands of the authorities
of this State. the representatives of the
people and defeat the ends of justice ?"

lence was restored and Gator, astOnlsh-

said:
Il do not hesitate TO say that what
the District Attorney has said Is true
in part. but I claim that if these men
do escape prosecution the law has made
il possible The responsibility will rest
upon none of you. The law has even
been extended in section 64 Of the Penal
Code in election cases. 1t contains a
principle that has been put in the
books by the representatives OF the
people and in no event can any OF you
be held responsible The responsibility
rests alone in the law.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. S.-After an
hours weary work examining witnesses
that testified to the good character of
Detectives Tichenor and Hartling, the
great climax of the bribery scandal was
reached tonight. The prosecution had
announced that it had exhausted its
list of the character witnesses, but that
more would probably be in on the late
train Then the defense announced that
it would go on with its case. Attorney
Gator said he would call Senator EN-
mons to the stand, and later the rest OF
the accused, that they might disprove
the grave charges against them. Then
the sensation came. District Attorney
Seymour of Sacramento. who had not
appeared before to take part in the
proceedings, took a place near the
desks of the committee and said:
SEYMOUR OBJECTS.
81 object to the effort here to swear
these accused Senators. / do not care
what may be my opinion of the merits
of the charges that have been lodged
here, it is apparent to every man that
q grave offense against the laws of the
State has been committed and that
crimes denounced by the penal statutes
were consummated.
Gator leaped to his feet before Sew
mour could proceed further and said:
II have the highest respect for the
District Attorney of this county, and
agree that If he wishes to address him.
self to the legal status of this case he
has the right, but I say that it is highly
improper that he should in any man
ner express an opinion or refer to the
evidence in the case. If he is ready to
present any reason why this case
should not proceed let him do So I
cannot believe from past statements
that he has made that he would do
anything to prejudice the interests of
the accused. No one supposes that
these men are going to run away"
