The effort to Introduce this eveldence by he Government brought frequent objec tions from counsel for the -defense, which .a only one instance was sustained by JudR.; Vandovantor. The vourt ruled that one telegram, which was said by- the Go' rrnmeiit to bejL.nenly to one sent to Bur- 'm bv Mr. .Harlan, was not relevant. In no case did the defense question the r.uthentloity of "the "leltefs or telegrams, basing objections on grounds that the con tents were not pertinent-to the allegations niade In the indictment. . - Burton's Incriminating: Letters.

Mr. "Ransdcll was present under a subpena "duces tecum, requiring him to produce certain telegrams.
