LATE SATURDAY..
The last witness for the defense
called before the Military Court
Saturday evening was James Lane,
one of the known principals in the
fight at Bertlemann S. THE STAR
reviewed his testimony. Alfred
Carter was not called to the stand
as his testimony was not deemed
necessary. With Lane the de-
tense closed.
At $40 p. m. Mr.. Neumann rose
and requested that both he and Mr..
Rosa be allowed to address the
Court. While both were joint
counsel for certain prisoners, others
were represented by one or the
other of the attorneys alone. This
request was acceded to by the court
and Mr.. Rosa took the floor.
Counsel stated that he was over
come by the kindness and spirit
of fairness with which the
court was being conducted.
While everybody was of the opin-
ion that James Lane, one of his
clients, shot Mr.. Carter, the Gov
ernment had thoroughly investi-
gated the matter and stepped for
ward to defend the innocent. He
was surprised and deeply gratified
by the course pursued. Mr.. Rosa
pleaded for sentence to fit the
crimes.
Mr.. Neumann talked long and
presented the matter in its various
bearings. Treason" said he, SIS
the most heinous offense known to
mankind" But there were various
degrees of treason. The accused
men could not be guilty to the
same extent. They should be
punished according to their crime
Mr.. Neumann advocated deport
ing the leaders in place of taking
their lives.
Mr.. Kinney followed in an earn
est address to the Court on behal
of the community. His motto wa
that no innocent man should b,
punished, and no guilty man SHOULD
go unpublished.
There are towards, white men
behind these persons" said Mr.
Kinney, who are greater criminal
than they. For two years the,
have been instilling the poison o
rebellion into the minds of tn
natives. And where were they a
the outbreak ? Why in their holes
They are too cowardly to come on
and fight, and fendish enough t.
push the natives forward into tn
trouble. b."
