pump him. He met Weed at .
saloon and he poured into his ear
his grievances against the govern
ment and then he tried to borrow
$40.
In regard TO the gun ON which
the whole case against Weed
rests. there is absolutely nothing
to show that Weed ever proposed
to use the said gun against the
government. OsmeI's statement
that this young man ever could
say that he had the control OF the
soldiers is simply atrocious. Ii
the court believes it, he Is IN
doubtedly the only man in the
room xho does. With whom did
Weed conspirei With Criekl
Yes, he was seen In saloon
with Crick and as Crick is con-
spirator naturally Weed Is an
other. Such seems to me to be
the argument of the learned At
torney General. But if such
theory is to be carried oat. who
is safel Especially as long as
the government uses such repro
bates as Osmer in its service. Ii
Weed was conspiring with whom
was it. If he did not conspire
with the other defendants he
ought to be discharged. and there
is absolutely no evidence that he
did so.
In regard to Ma wahi the first
evidence is that he was at a meet
ing with McEvoy. Bush. and
Crick on the 14th of August at
the residence of Bush. McEvoy
has fortunately for the defendants
located his meeting" on a day
on which we have been amply
able to prove an alibi. This man
McEvoy has been on the trail Of
these men for a year. He has
not even known enough to locate
dates although according to his
own statements he said that he
recently has refreshed his mem
DRY with a reference to his diary.
Now that meeting was either on
the l4th of August. or he lies.
He gives evidence that a meeting
took place on the l4th of August.
He says that Wilson and Norrie
and other noted. and more or less
disreputable characters were
called traitors by Nawahi. He
says they talked about a move
ment. If il was in the salvation.
army line, or any other kind of
move We are not told. This
Scotland Yard man says that
Nawahi stated that If the natives
got gin and cane knives they
would fight the haoles. Will
any one believe such rot? 1t has
been proven that as early as the
18th of January last the defend
ants knew or at least had reason
to believe that Mel voy was a spy.
Since then he was held at arm S
length. Is it reasonable then to
believe that these defendants
would make. him their confident
and expose revolutionary schemes
if they did entertain such! / dis
miss Mr.. McEvoy from this case,
with the contempt that his des-
picable character deserves. l do
not desire to use the English
in expressing any SEN
timents as fully as l might in
regard to that specimen of hu-
manity. Nawahi's presence at his
house on the 14th of August |
has been fully proven. Have we
come to the point that the evid- |
snce of defendant has no weight
against any hired scoundrel, who
will periure himself for petty
pay and attemptt to swear away the
liberty of a citizen McEvoy
has sworn, that Nawahi was at
Bush's house at 2 p. IN. on the
.4th of August. We have proven
le was not.
Inow take mp the evidence of
IAN Giesen. We cannot close
ur eyes to the fact thatthe provis ,
onal government and the repub-
lc have led a most miserable life
nd have been harrassed from its
to the present day. 1
