who came to America on an exploring
trip, made a chart upon which he des-
ignated the Hudson as "San Antonio"

COCKS MUST Be PRODUCED
Grand Jury Wants Records of
United Copper Company.

New York, June George Baglin,
vice president OF the United Copper
company, was taken 70 the Tombs
prison and must remain there under
an order OF Judge Lacombe of the
United States district court until the
missing books of the company which
contain the evidence upon which the
federal district attorney seeks the
conviction of F. Augustus Heinze are
produced. A similar punishment also
hangs over Sanford Robinson, prom
inent director of the company, whose
case will be further considered by
Judge Lacombe.
Both men are alleged to have per-
mitted the spiriting away of the books
that were under subpoena. Baglin
testified before the grand jury that he
had overheard Robinson and one of
the Heinze brothers conspiring TO re-
move the books and had interposed no
objection.
Nothing remains for me 10 do but
to commit you for contempt" said
Judge Lacombe after hearing Baglin's
admission You had no right to
stand idly by while men were plotting
the removal of books wanted in
grand jury investigation. An officer
or an employee cannot so act with i'm
punity."
Baglin was visibly affected by the
sentence of the court. He was al
lowed to communicate with his wife
and lawyer before he was led to the
Tombs.
