PAYNE NOW FREE
TO co TO MEXICO
Deposition to Be Taken in
Morse Trial That He May
Take Up Duty as Envoy.

John Barton Payne. special envoy
to Mexico. will not be detained in
Washington by reason of the sub
poena laid on him last week by coun-
sci for the defense in the Morse con-
spiracy case. on trial before Justice
Stafford and a jury in criminal divi-
sion 1.
In obedience to the courts sum-
mons Judge Payne was in court this
morning. and Attorneys Wilton j.
Lambert and Nash lockwood for the
defense asked leave Of Justice STAFF
ford to put the witness on the stand
without waving the right of the de-
fense to move for an instructed ver-
dict at the conclusion of the govern
ment's case.
Justice Stafford held thfs course
could only be pursued on stipulation
of counseL United States Attorney
Gordon declined to so stipulate. and
an agreement was reached by which
counsel for the defense will take a
deposition of Judge Payne outside the
presence of the court TO be held for
use in the event the defense has to
put on evidence.
Jury IL Excluded.
The jury was excluded from the
courtroom while counsel discussed the
advisability Of taking the testimony
Of Judge Payne before the jury SO
that the special envoy would be able
to leave Washington Sunday night on
his important mission.
Mr.. Lambert wanted to put Judge
Payne on the stand and let the jury
have, tho benefit of his personality
while testifying, but when the gov
ernment objected the court decided
that the prosecution has the right to
have only its testimony in evidence
when a motion is made for an in
structed verdict. The introduction OF
evidence for the defense in the midst
Of the governments case Is confusing
the court suggested. Justice Stafford
declared he would not feel justified
in granting a motion unless there
was a stipulation of counsel. The
agreement to take the deposition and
to suppress 1t until the government
case is ended was reached.

yield of twenty-five bushels per acre.
We do not say it will do this on all

fine-stemmed character of this plapt

hay production. 1t is also rather
easy to cure. The upright character
of its growth makes it possible to
