Mr.. Berry said he could not bring before
the Jury the facts in the case; he could not
attempt to justify his client in the action for
which he had been blamed by the club. His
mouth was closed by the decision OF the
Judge.

and other pleadings showing that Yturiide
had admitted making the alleged scandal

judge, for the man who pleads guilty
