RAND SCHOOL RAID
PAPERS WITHHELD
FROM LUSK INQUIRY
Sensational Evidence Remains
in Court Custody Despite
Legislative Committee.

The production to-day In evidence
of papers Of sensational character
before the Lusk legislative COM
mittee apparently has, been prevented
by the action OF Chief Magistrate
MoAdoo. who holds that the docu-
ments seized two weeks ago in the
Rand school raid must remain in
court custody for the present.
Senator Lusk, before the decision
was announced. had stated that SEN
satlonal documents were to be pro-
duced before his committee to-day.
Since the raid the seized papers have
been under the control OF Deputy At
torney General Berger as an Ofhcer
of tho court. He said to-day '-the
views Of Judge McAdoo will be met
in every particular" which was con-
strued TO mean that the Lusk COM
mittee would not oe able to receive
the papers expected to-day.
The Magistrate ruled that here
after the documents taken on his
search warrant would be held not
only technically but actually in the
custody OF tho court. He already had
refused to obey a subpoena the Lusk
committee had issued fof certain OF
them several days ago. The Magis-
trate said that under the law the
papers must remain in his custody
until the motion for their return now
pending before him had been decided
and that neither the Lusk committed
nor any one else had any right tc
| them.
II the motion for their return should
Ne decided In favor OF the Rand school
they would then go back. and the Lusk
committee would be able to subpoena
them duces tecum.
Such a subpoena already has been
prepared. Should the Magistrate dc.
/ eide not to Vacate the warrant, the
papers then will be turned over TO the
! Court OF General Sessions, that thC
District Attorney may take such action
as he sees mt with regard to the In.
formation contained in them.
