Ex Parte Bevan

These three cases were consolidated and submitted together, as the same alleged controlling questions arise in each case. There will be no further statement of fact in this opinion, other than is absolutely necessary in order to apply the law, as the court interprets it.

It is assumed that the depositions in question were being taken before a regularly appointed notary public in pursuance of notice as provided by statute, as no question was raised along these lines.

Stranahan was served with an ordinary subpoena, and Bevan and Koehrman were served with subpoenas duces tecum.

No complaint is made…
