WASHINGTON, May 4. The house Judi
ciary commltteo today gave a hoarlng upon
tho senato bill, Introduced at the suggestion
of Attorney General Griggs, to provide for
the removal to the proper district for trial
of persons Indicted for offenses against tho
United States. Tho bill was prepared to
cover tho cases of Danjamlu D. Greene, John
F., William T. and Edmund H. Gaynor and
Michael A. Connolly, who were Indicted by
the grand Jury In, tho southern district of
Gcorgln for conspiracy to defraud tho
sound. The lndlctod persouB wero arrested
in New York, but Judge Drown refused to
allow their extradition to Georgia on
technical ground, ponding procedure in New
York. Colonel W. W. Dudley was the first
speaker. He said ba represented certain
railroad corporations and appeared to call the
attention of tho-committee to some of tho
dangers lnvolvod in tho passage of tho bill
Such a bill, applying to civil as -well as to
criminal cases, might, ha contended, work
great hardship, . especially, to railroad and
tuner corporation omciais. ii maictca out
sldo tho district in which they were resl
dent they could lin arrested and disgraced,
though Innocent, and Jio Urged-that If tho
legislation was to bo enacted It should be
carefully safeguarded. In criminal casfa like
tho Carter caso at which legislation waa
aimed, ho admitted the circumstances might
be different,
Colonel Dudley cited tho case of on offense
against tho Interstate commerce law. Un
drr tho proptoed bill If a railroad official
were Indicted it would become the duty of
tbo court to send a marshal to arrest him
when It was a well known fact that all rail
road corporations were at all times anxious
to meet In court charges, of violations of
law.
Chairman Tiny said the real question in
volved' wa. whether it was- good policy to
rcmovo a porson indicted from one JurUdlc
tlon to another upon, tho simple presentment
of an indictment. Colonel, Dudley oxprcssed
the opinion that It would bo against public
policy and did not think the business inter
ests of tho country should be. subjected to
tho dangers that lurked In this bill
Abram. J. Roso followed Colonel Dudley,
While he was the attorney of the Gaynors
and Greene," ho . said ho did not come to
peclally as their attorney, but to call atten
tlon to somo thlng3 of which ho had peculiar
knowledge He declared that tho district
nttorney had eight witnesses and many doc
uraents In tho Gaynor case before the
United States commissioner In Now York
If evidence had been presented then show
ing probablo cause, all this difficulty would
had been obviated and the- demand for the
enactment of such a far-reaching genorat
law dono away with.
The testimony in tho court-martial cat's
of Captain Carter wan public property nnd
he claimed, therefore, that there was no
reason why It should not have been pro
duced beforo tho United States commissioner,
Tho contention of the nttorney general that
the presentation of evidence would disclose
the government s case, he said, would tbero
fore not hold. 'Mr. Roso dilated upon the
hardships which might result to defondanto
If they must bo removed., when vnlld nnd
legal reasons might be set up to show the
faultlnetu of Indictments
Chairman Ray said ho had received a let
ter from tho attorney general suggesting
araundmenls to tho bill to allow Indicted
persons, to show as a reason for son-removal
that they had not,)iccn lit tho place wharo
tho Indictment had been foundi .Mr. Roso
asked why an alibi should .bcr allowed to bo
proVcv! In tbo Interest of railroad officials,
He said It would be dangerous lo rauko ex
ceptions. Tho letter of tho attorney gen
erl did not mention railroad officials, but
Mr. Jtospi read a nowspapar statement say
Ing that It was Intended to except them. In
tho course of his remark Mr. nose declared
with emphasis, referring to tho Gaynor
Grecno case:
"Thoso men never can bo convicted on tbe
tndlcfmeht for'two reasons: First, there was
no conspiracy. Second, tho Unltod Stated
never was dofrauded,"
