Show The News does not like Mr. Critchlow's testimony testi-mony before the Investigation Committee; thinks it was all hearsay and irrelevant; that his repeating repeat-ing what was told him by a man in Brigham City was altogether out of place, that for one who pretends pre-tends to be a lawyer the showing made was altogether alto-gether bad. The News overlooks the fact that early in the proceedings the committee announced that it would not be governed by the strict rules which in ordinary courts, hedges around with restrictions re-strictions the testimony that goes to a court or jury. Mr. Critchlow did not expect that his repetition of what had been told him would of itself be accepted ac-cepted as conclusive, but the next day after he was on the witness stand it was wired here that twenty-eight witnesses would be subpoenaed from Brigham- City. "When the sub-committee qomes here, all that Mr. Critchlow said will be confirmed, unless some needed witnesses are spirited spir-ited away. By the way, we wonder if the editor of the News drafted Able John Evans' anti-polygamy bill. At times the News editor is a great stickler for direct evidence. |
