Buying Witnesses

The hiring of professional witnesses by the North
ern Pacific in its condemnation against
which there has been feeble voice raised around
the federal court room lately indicates evil that
is doing much to bring higher courts of this coun-
try into i'll repute.
Experts who testify for the side that pays them
are not only brought into court by the railways
These same railways have to combat that same
class of testimony in practically every damage
they have. Ambulance chasing lawyers in Tacoma,
in other cities, have regular physicians their
staffs who testify for them at so much a day to
make narrowing case of injury to beat the rail-
ways out of damages
Expert testimony at best has to be largely
farce in the courts
The fellow with the longest purse is able to hire
the biggest expert who will lie the most adroitly for
his side and thus often justice is left largely to
guess work, II 1t gets any show at all.
The evil is well recognized, but courts do nothing
to curb it. Both sides in lawsuit will go into
court with their hired witnesses who are practically
paid to lie as they wanted to lie, by the fellow
who pays them. And the courts sit there and let it
CO.
Possibly there is way out of it under present
rules but it is evident that very pointed leg
islatOn is needed if the courts to retain the
spect of the public. 1t is getting so that in
the justice COURTS litgants appear with their hired
witnesses who testify generally about in proportion
to the size of their fees.
There is chance here for radical reform.
If courts have the power to compel witnesses to
appear and testify, they should also have power and
exercise it, to prevent this seductive bribery of wit
nesses, under the guise of paying them for their
time
