GAYN0R AND GREENE CASE

Judge La Fontsine Opened Court in

This event was followed by a deter

Of John Il. Gaynor and Benjamin D.
Greene, to gain forolble entrance TO
their rooms. Ten Of the stoutest officers
Of the Montreal police stood guard over
the prisoners, and when Atty. Tach-

and Green, he opened court. Lawyers
Of the defense declared they knew Of

where they could be safely locked up.
Crown Prosecutor Lemieuleux had no
objection. but Senator Dandurand,
acting for the United States, denounced
the statement of plot as a falsehood.
II was then declared amid great eX-
element, that the reverse was the case
and the excuse Of placing the prison
ers In Jail simply meant that as soon
as the men were out OF the door of the
hotel, hired men, hiding near by, would
