WARREN D. CHASE WITNESS.
Will Testify in Trial of Former. Off, eialsSof New Haven Road-Yarn That He Had Disappeared.

Attorney Warren D. Chase of Hart ford. whose parental home is here and who has spent a considerable part of the summer in town is to testify as a witrfess in the trials of New Haven road former officials now going on ir New York A despatch from New York reported that he was missing and that the fact was causing much concern to the government lawyers conducting the case, but this whole yard seems to be unfounded, for Mir Chase was found at his home or Pennington avenue in Hartford and laughed at the statements relative to his disappearance. one yarn being that he had not been seen for three weeks. Mir. Chase left Hartford for New York Wednesday morning, the time he was subpoenaed to appear. He intimated that statements alleged to have been given out by government attorneys were intended to discredit him.
 In an interview Mir. Chase said:
 ''I was down at the trial last We'd Eesday and Thursday, but did not want to stay all through as was not needed and the long statement to the jury by Mr. Batts was not expected to be finished until today. I did. how ever. have. important business in Hartford and I returned here I win nrobably be needed tomorrow and I have already made preparations to take train that will bring me to the court tomorrow morning. T., shall certainly be on hand. The story grven out in New York Is all bosh."
 In commenting on the dispatch Mir. Chase. said that the whole trouble was | over certain books in his possession which the lawyers for the govern ment have been tryi\ to get so that l they could search them for evidence fIA,- IN<0 ,;,,G, already been presented to the grand jury in the case and have been kept 1 by the prosecutors but the ones he | still holds cannot be ordered opened l Mir. Chase said, except in open court ! where they can be examined at the same time by the lawyers for the de- fense as well as by the government i prosecutors. The latter, according tc Mir, Chase. are anxious to get hold oi i these books ahead of time and to ex- anime them before they are present. ed in court or before they becEm, accessible to the defense.
 The government l11secutors, Mir
 Chase added. save been trying tC
 force him to give rS the books and
 among other tEings, have threatened : tossn1akc things uncomfortable for hin
 by forcing him to attend cour s throughout the session, unless he ac
 ceded to their demands and gave ul
 the evidence.
 In regard to his non-appearance a 1 court yesterday, Mir Chase showed
 reporter for a Hartford paper a 1ette
 he had received from Frank M
 Schvacker, special prosecutor for, tn
 government under date of Septembe
 2S.. telling him, that the New Haven I case had been postponed until Octo | Der l3 and that Tt is not anticipate
 that you will be needed at the tris nutiI October POI The same state
 ment was received in a later lette
 that MT. Chase received. Mir. Chds
 said that he would be on hand at tn
 trial this morning and that he woul take with him to New York the book
 that were wanted as evidence.
