TO SHOW RECORDS
LEGAL Question Arises When
Postmaster is Called as Wit
ness in a Suit.
OFFICE BOOKS WERE WANTED
Judge Ruled That Evidence Was Re
quired, But Attorneys Do Not In
sist - New Juries.

The question of whether postmaster
can be compelled to produce in court
the record of registered letters, and
testify regarding the entries in such
record book, came up yesterday after
noon in the circuit court during the
istrator of the estate of Andreas' Tam
burlos, against the Rock Island for $780,
geo. The question was up when Frank
Clendenin, postmaster of East Moline,
was called to the stand. Judge Gest
held that the postmaster would be re-
quired to testify, but before his evil
dence was required, the attorneys
agreed to excuse him. Mr.. Clendenin
had stated that he would decline to
testify in the matters on which infor-
nation was sought.
: Regarding n Letter.
| The plaintiffs attorney had shown,
through evidence given by George Tam
, burlos, brother of the man over
whose death the suit was brought, that
500 in money had been sent to the
mans father Spiron Tamburlos, in
/, Greece, by a bank draft sent in a reg.
/ istered letter. The defense sought to
disprove the sending of the money
which it was claimed had been sent
two weeks before the mans death, in
February last year. The sending OF
the money involves the question of the
support given the father by the victim
of the accident.
