They were made in the course Of
the proceedings following upon
the indictment or informations
and their object was to obtain
certain evidence which might aid
the defendants In their prepara-
ton for and conduct Of the trial.
The rulings were a part Of the
proceedings in the principal
cases and were strictly inter-
locutory in their nature. They
were not final judgments within
our appeal statute.
It may be that there is justifi-
cation for the different rulings
made on the motions by the trial
courts before which they come.
The cases differ, whether ma
terially or not we do not need
to consider, in that in the first
the prosecution is based upon an
indictment by the grand jury
and In the others upon informa-
ton filed by the special states
attorney, and other variant cir
ctimstances may have entered
into the respective decisions. We
do not overlook the fact that
counsel for the defendant appel
laints claim that they will be
heavily hampered by these rul-
ings in their preparation for trial
and In full and fair presenta-
ton Of the cases In court. They
state In their briefs that with
nesses before the grand jury
were sworn to secrecy and that
the defendants cannot therefore
ascertain from those witnesses
facts relevant to their defense.
That is clearly a misunderstand-
ing Of the situation. The oath
would prevent such witnesses
from disclosing what took place
In the grand jury room, including
the testimony they or others
gave. But 1t would not prevent
them II they so desired from
giving to the defendants any in
formation they might have rele-
want to the prosecution even
though 1t was the same informa-
ton as to which they testified
before the grand jury.
Should the present appeals
be sustained they would serve
as presidents which might 20
far to nullify the purpose OF the
legislature in authorizing an APP
peal only from a final judg-
ment." Those motions are, for
example, closely analogous to
motions for disclosure or to in
spect the person Of a party to
the action, and the like. To per-
NIT appeals from rulings upon
such motions might seriously de-
lay the final disposition Of pend
ing cases. On the one hand coun-
sci who sincerely felt that by an
order upon such q motion the
rights Of his client were seriously
harmed might feel compelled to
take an immediate appeal; and.
on the other hand, the oppor-
tunity TO appeal In such a situa- :
ton might well serve the pur-
pose OF parties who desire for
their own ends to postpone the
final determination Of the issues.
Allowance Of multiple appeals in
q single action would not &C
cord with the sound policy which
favors the speedy disposition Of
actions In court, and particularly
Of criminal prosecutions.
The motions to erase are
granted.
In this opinion the other judges
