that the government would abandon all
those counts charging false entries. The
first twenty-eight counts of the indictment,
containing charges Of wfllful misapplication
of funds. will stand. Judge Baker instructed
the jurors that no notice was to be taken
of the twenty-five counts charging false
entries. At 4 o'clock the government rested

Tense will open it's case.

government this afternoon. He will be fol-
lowed by Smiley n. Chambers, and District
Attorney Burke and Albert j. Beveridge
will speak tomorrow. It is thought that
the case will go to he jury shortly after
noon tomorrow.
