Show 4548 Freeman- D 2567 MR. FARNSWORTH: So it will be in the record at this time and will guide the state in presenting its evidence, at the outset, as your Honor will recall, many reports were introduced subject to certain reserve objections, many compilations from reports were offered in evidence -- THE SPECIAL MASTER: You mean those of Hoyt's? MR. FARNSWORTH: Yes, largely prepared by Mr. Hoyt. It occurred to me then, and I am still of the opinion it would be captious on our part to raise any objection on the ground of competency, and put the government to the trouble of producing all of the original documents from which those were compiled. I had the understanding that as to those matters the parties on both sides would waive objections as to competency in the interest of time, each of course having the right to check the documents referred to. Now, I don't know that the state will have many such exhibits, but of course having taken the position that has been taken thus far in the case by both parties, I assume, and I will act on the assumption, if counsel don't say it is erroneous, that when the state comes to potting in its case a like treatment will be had of state's exhibits, and that if Mr. Burdick or any other witness we use produces exhibits |
