NEALL COURT-MARTIAL.
The Case Finished SO Far as Taking
Testimony is Concerned.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.-The de-
Tense in the case against Lieutenant
Neall has. opened and closed, and the
case has been finished so far as the
taking of testimony is concerned.
The defense has been foreshadoWed
by the questions defendants counsel
has been putting to the witnesses all
through the trial. Neall was i'll and
overworked, is the contention, but be-
yond that there will also be the claim
that he could not have paid any of
the unfortunate exchange dividends
which have landed him in so much
trouble, because they We're never le-
gally declared
Colonel Compton testified that he re-
fused to approve the dividends de-
clared for January, because they had
not been made out by the Exchange
Council. The prosecution maintains,
however, that the mere fact that Neall
had no right to pay the dividends. even
should it be SO shown, does not miti-
gate the charge against him of decep-
ton.
Written arguments for prosecution
ana defense will be submitted to the
military court next Monday.
