WITNESS fees MAY
Be HELD UP BY
STATE; NO PROVISION

Failure to introduce II bill to guar
Rniee the expenses of the Wycoff-
Barela contest now before the sem
ate may result in the payment OF
witnesses being indefinitely held up.
Witnesses for both the contcstor and
contcstee as well as the attorneys in
tcrestcd In the trial OF tho contest
may have to wait n year or more for
their pay, unless some arrangement
can he made for an appropriation.
An effort is being made 90 arrange
the matter. Each side is equally az
fected. No bill was introduced on
before the time expired fos
Introduction OF bills, and as a result
1t may be that no provision for the
payment Of the expenses can be made
until the next session of tho general
assembly. This affects both sides,
and as Barela has the greater num-
Der OF witnesses the greatest hardship
from this oversight will fall upon
those interested with the contcstee.
Because OF this unique situntitp
some difficulty may be encountered
in getting the witnesses to go to Den
yer to testify at the hearing. Charles
Godofriend, sergeant-at-arms of the
senate. is here serving subpoenaes on
witnesses and arranging for the
transportation Of the ballot boxes In
the precincts where frauds are al
legged to have been perpctratcd. All
witnesses will have to pay their own
expenses and await the time when
they can collect for their services.
This works a material hardship on
some of the local witnesses. who de-
clared today they could not afford
the expense and the loss OF time.
Objection to payment Of the ex-
penses OF the contest by the state was
made by several senators when the
subject Of the contest was first taken
up by the senate. They held that the
confession and contestee should be re-
uuired to put up bonds to defray the
expenses. the loser to pay. Senator
Hecker made q motion that such a
requirement should be made, but Il
was lost.
Or. Wycoff declares he will have
no difficulty, however, In getting his
witnesses.
