sented giving the names of the witnesses
and declaring that the San Francisco
earthquake wiped out all his property and
that he Is unable to pay the expenses of
the witnesses necessary to his defense.
United States Attorney Baker and As
sistant Attorney General Pugh strenuously
opposed the granting of the request.
agreeing that only twenty CT the persons
named should be summoned. as stated.
The United States attorney charged that
many of the witnesses are wanted to tes-
tify in behalf of Frederick A. Hyde, an
other defendant. Hyde. he said, Is able to
bear the expenses of summoning his wit
ueSseS.
The charge was refuted by Attorney
Birney and by Attorney A. S. Worthing-
ton counsel for Hyde. Both disclaimed
having made any arrangement as to wit
nesses.
The matter was continued by Justice
Stafford to give the United States attor-
ney an opportunity to prepare memo
randum of just what he will attempt to
prove under each count of the indictment.
