sador to Kings Coronation
as Excuse.

John Hays Hammond today formally
notified the District Supreme Court of
his designation by President Taft as the
special representative Of the executive at
the coming coronation Of King George of
England and asked the court to take
cognizance Of the appointment and to
excuse him from further testifying in the
Sully damage suit for 81, 5000 until next
November.
The request, made through Attorney
Philip Walker, came as a sequel to the
disrupted hearing of last Saturday before
Examiner Harper, who is taking testi-
mony in the case. Attorney John c. Git
tings, counsel for Daniel j. Sully, the
plaintiff, gave Mr.. Hammond the lie and
caused counsel for Mr.. Hammond to
withdraw the witness from the stand and
decline further cross-examination.
Mr.. Hammond tells the court that he
is under the necessity of departing from
the District of Columbia and from the
United States on important public and
private business and remaining away for
away from Washington most Of the time
prior to May n, and on that date must
sail for England under the Presidents
appointment.
In supporting arndaVlt Attorney
Walker rehearses the delays that have
occurred in reference to the cross-exam-
ination of his client.

return by Friday to be on hand to hear
what disposition the court makes of

tify at the office of Cuttings & Chamber

ment of this hearing. especially should

Only Fines Applicable.
The court unanimously held that tho

effect of holding the proceedings a civil
one was to make jail sentences impossi-

To correct the error the case was sent
back to the local courts, with direction
that 1t be dismissed. At the same time
the court expressly made it possible for
civil proceedings to be instituted against
