lacllng lot j. EDWARD AddlckS, VINO In /
duced Boggs TO return to Delaware and
testify against the accused, cannot be
found. Deputy United States marshals |
have hunted high and low for him, and |
it is understood the warrant has been |
returned mon est" He is said to be |
in hiding. The failure OF Congdon to
appear will be of vital Importance to
the defence, as they will use it as ma
teral to show that a plot did exist to
induce BOggs to return. They will also
use it to show that Addicks is at the
back Of the plot 1t will add great
strength to securing the senator's ac-
quittal.
When the case opened Mr.. Vande- |
grift called Ezekiel Cooper to the stand. |
