Show 9 , POSITION OF SO UTIIERN PA CIF1C. HuntyigUm Will Do All He Can to Get the Koad Out of Politics. Sax Francisco, Oct. 20. Replying to a query from this city in the name of the grand jury, as to whether it was by his direction di-rection that Railway Attorney Haymond was acting as counsel for the recalcitrant witnesses Gage and Chute, President Huntington Hunt-ington writes that Haymond retains the right to appear in private cases where the interests of railroad men are involved; that the books of the Southern Pacific are open to the grand jury at any time, and that he had instructed General Manager Towne to assist the grand jury in all possible ways. He wanted the road taken, out of politics, he said, and would continue his efforts to that end. |
