Attorney Reubens was present, and
when asked what proceedings would be
taken to-day replied:
I'VE will ask for immediate action.
There has already been too much delay,
TOO much mystery.
Our defense will be. as l have already
explained, to prove that the crimes with
which the refugees are charged were never
committed. and that certain alleged muir
ders we're not taken part in by the pris-
Oners.
There is nothing in the papers for

that the Government is taking any very
decided ste.a to convict EZeta. 1t Is
simply acting in accordance with the
treaty between this country and San

in the prosecution. therefore l hold that
we have a good case. as nothing can be
proven by Ezeta's enemies.

We will introduce. but can assure you
