 venting Justice from Putting New
 Haven Road Officials Behind Bars.

Bishop. notary public, to re- strain him from issuing mittimus to commit to jail Edgar c. Buckland, vice-president and general counsel, and Arthur E. Clarke, secretary of the company, because under subpoenas duces tecum they had refused to pro- duce certain records and documentary matter in the case of Edmund B. Cod man of Boston against the company pending in Massachusetts courts.
 The Goldman interests, who hold Boston and Maine railroad stock, are seeking to stop alleged interference of the New Haven company through its holding company stock in the affaire of the Boston and Maine, and a few days ago hearing was held here be- ioio 4"i. DiSAop to secure eNldenCe. Both officers offered to testify as in- dividuals, but refused to do so as of ficers or to produce the company's records. Mir. Bishop had ruled that under the subpoenas these should be produced. Codman's counsel asked for mittimus. Both oicers since then have declared that Mir Codman's quest was that of fishing trip" as the company could be easily excited into Massachusetts court and also denied that the New Haven was seek ing control of the Boston and Maine road.
