young man, who is Goo KiIn's grandson.

NAL He said he had made no such state
rnents and asked to have the accusing
witnesses brought before him. They were

confessed that they We're wrong in their
, statements about the young man.
The accused said that on Tuesday he
had talked generally about affairs in Chi
