THE swATa TRIAL.
In the Swain court martial to-day the
counsel for the accused opened the line Of
defense that the stock transactions between
Gen. Swain and Batemau d Co. were illegal
because there was no actual transfer of stock
aud that any pretended claim ID Bateman q
Co. upon Gen. Swain from losses in these
transactions could not be recovered in q
court Of law, as no active shares OF stock ever
came into Swaim's POSSESSION, neither ac-
lu, lily nor cOnstrucuvely. The cross-exam-
inalioD OF j. Stanley Brown concluded with
out anything new or important elected, and
then Bateman was put on the stand, but the
court adjourned before his testimony was
fairly begun.
