Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 2S.-The plan
of the defense in the capitol proceed
ings has been changed completely by
the action of Architect JOS. M. Huston,
of Philadelphia, in securing separate
trial, with the consent of the common
wealth. Illusions action would seem
that he had an agreement with the
commonwealth and will be one of its
principal witnesses.
The attorneys on both sides will not
discuss this phase of the case only to
say that Huston has been subpoenaed
as a witness for his co-defendants,
Contractor John H. Sanderson, former
auditor general, William P. Snyder,
former states treasurer, William L.
Matthews and James NJ. Shumaker
former superintendent of grounds and
buildings.
Huston has been in Harrisburg
since Saturday with his attorneys,
George S. Graham, A. S. l.. Shields
and Samuel l.. Clement, Jr., but has
not appeared in court. Owing to the
physical condition of Shumaker, who
has been i'll since last spring, he has
been excused from attending court.
Other Defendants.
The other three defendants were
in court again today and naturally
took an active interest in the pro-
ceedings- Should Huston be called az
witness for the commonwealth the
defense will try to break down his
testimony by attempting to show that
he certified to the quantity and quail
ity OF furnishings supplied by Sander
son, and that the bills were approved
by Sls'TTs29er aL2s Snyder and paid py
Matthews on the strength of the archi-
tect's certificate and if there was any
hing wrong he is responsible. Hus-
