There may have been some confusion about who was to have the examination made, but, regardless of that, it is quite apparent, from observation, that the man is not well, and I don’t feel satisfied in interrogating him under these circumstances unless the witness himself wants to be interrogated.
(Mr. Sykes conferred with Mr. Kerr.)
Mr. Sykes. He would rather not.
Mr. Tavenner. Under those circumstances I do not feel like insisting on it.
Mr. Moulder. Do you wish the subpena to be continued or remain in full force and effect?
Mr. Tavenner. No, sir. Under the circumstances, I think Mr. Kerr should be dismissed.
Mr. Moulder. The witness is excused.
(Whereupon the witness was excused.)
Mr. Tavenner. There are no further witnesses, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Moulder. The hearing will remain in order.
