While com- | | mittees in the framing of legislation {could undoubtedly invite witnesses to | | appear voluntarily and give informa tion, neither house of Congress could compel attendance, Daugherty's coun- sel contended. This must be true, he {insisted, because no power had been veted in Congr to issue warrants, and make arrests. Such power was lodged exclusively in the judiciary, it | | was argued, and the courts would not | | compel witnesses to appear befare con- | |gressional committees until eclearly | shown that the investigation was | | within the power of Congress to con- | | duct. | Reply of Government. The Senate committee was trying, | counsel for Daugherty asserted, to | determine the guilt of the attorney | | general, and the Investigation was aimed to arralgn him before the har of public opinion, with the intention resignation. It ntended that such an inquiry was | beyond: the constitutional powers of | Congress and that the courts should | not permit the sanctity of the rights | | ot the citizen to he invaded under | | such circumstances. Furthermore a | county court having granted an in- junction, aimed to protect Daugherty from further arrest, the Supreme Court should take no action which would Interfere with that order. | The Government replied that Con- gress would be powerless to function ! { should the Supreme Court hold that | | its committees could not compel the | | production of information sought in | | connection with the discharge of its | legislative duties | General George W. Wickersham pearing as counsel for the Govern-| ment. emphasized that the resolution directing Daugherty's arrest not only stated upon its face that the informa- tion which the committee was gath- ering was for legislative purposes, but that it had not been adopted until after Harry M. Daugherty resigned as Attorney General. This disposed, he insisted, of the assertion that the investigation was solely for the pur- pose of driving the Attorney General out of office. Daugherty's right of protection against unlawful search and seizure vas not involved in the controversy, Mr. Wickersham said. nor was his | constitutional right against being com- | pelled to give testimony which might tend to incriminate him at issue. It ! would be time to appeal to the courts for protection, he suggested. when such rights were assalled. Daugherty had refused to recognize the right of the Senate to arrest him for his re- fusal to appear as a witness before one of its commlttees, he said, and this squarely raised the issue whether | a congressional committee could com- el the attendance of witnesses. The Government insisted that Con- gress had full and undivided author- | ity. without the intervention of the courts, to punish recaleitrants who re. fused to appear In response to its subpoenas, and to imprison them until | they purged themselves. This applied, it was insisted, to the Daugherty case. was | | Former Attorney | ceeding | of mind of these former soldiers and Army and Navy Inmates to Be Held for Government Steps ‘When "Terms Expire.
