Lyndes. deputy state examiner, WHO
was then on the stand, intimated COM
| prised a mass of records weighing
about 5000 pounds.
The admission of this class Of evil
dence by the court Wednesday after
noon followed upon full forenoon of
, heated argument by counsel for the
state and the defense during which
counsel quoted authorities from a
score Of books of decisions and works
on court evidence.
Attorney General W. ID. Rankin,
who had offered these unidentified
store slips as exhibits, held to the
view that they were the accounts of
the former warden, COnley, and he
read authority after authority to show
that, as such, the records were admis-
sable as evidence without Identified
ton.
Rankin Stirs NoIan's Ire
Judge J. F. O'Connor argued the
question from the viewpoint of the
defense, his stand being that these
were not the books or records of Con
ley, but they were the accounts of the
state kept by it under the direction of
the state board of examiners and the
prison commissioners and observation
Of the state accountant, whose duty
it had been by law since 1919 to make
a quarterly examination of the prison
accounts.
Col G. h. Nolan, for the defense,
broke into the argument at times, the
colonel taking pointed exception to a
remark by Mr.. Rankin that the defense
was only 'stalling." Colonel Nolan
told Mr. Rankin that all this could be
shown by the original entry books
which had been shown by witnesses to
exist, but which had never been
brought into court by the state.
