1Opinion of the Court

ALBERT V. BRYAN, District Judge.

For convenience in the study of the books and papers produced by the witnesses appearing before the grand jury, the court has allowed the Government attorneys to remove this evidence to their offices in the Department of Justice, just across the Potomac in Washington. But it exacts of them a receipt for each document withdrawn. The receipt binds the attorney, as an officer of the court, to return the evidence to the Clerk, meanwhile to keep it from the public eye and separated from the records of other witnesses or companies.

Full ready to tender all the papers…
