lowing sentences:
The main question involoved here
is whether the Senate committee had
The power to order Mr.. Tilden 20 pro-
duce his books. A witness has the
right TO know what particular inquiry
is going on. The record here fails to
show. There must also be evidence
that the witness has in his posses
sion evidence that was material to
the inquiry being conducted.
There was no such evidence. The
only statement made before the COM
mittee indicating that Mr.. Tilden
knew anything whatever about the al
legged subject Of inquiry-the alleged
corruption of State Senators-was the
statement of one Funk that Edward
Hines asked him to contribute TO a
fund to reimburse expenditures In De-
half of Senator LOrimer's election
and told him to send the money to
Mr.. TildeR.
What Funk said that Hines said
about Tilden was the only word that
connected THden with the subject OF
inquiry. Hines denied under oath that
he had ever said anything of the kind
To Funk Tnden denied under oath
that he had ever received any money
from any one in connection with the
Lorimer election.
Yet on the mere hearsay Of Funk s
taIe-and denied hearsay at that
was sought to compel Mr.. Tilden to
open all his personal and business
records and to let them be paved
over by a rancorous political faction
and By two scandalous newspapers
to make use Of what they pleased!
Incidentally Mr.. Tilden offered to
LET one man on the committee exam
inc his books privately, but the COM
mittee refused. A general public drag
net investigation or nothing was the
committee demand.
In view OF the notorious facts OF
the case it Is evident that had Judge
Petits decision been other than what
it was no mans priVac~ and no mans
anairs in this state would have been
safe from hostile search and seizure.
An that would be necessary to get
access to them would be to trump up
a factionaI legislative Investigation
get anybody 20 mention his name, ana
the trick would be done.
The Hon. AdelOr J. Petit has rem
dreed a decision according to the
Law and the facts and a decision In
