the defense, stated that they We're
anxious to go on with the case and
that if Captain Woods cared to dis
close what he expected to prove ny
Mr.. Durette, he thought it very prob
able the defense would agree to admit
it. Captain Woods did not make
the disclosure but said that he mad
sent several kilograms after the wit
ness and would like a little time to
ascertain the result of these MESSAGE,
Without disposing of the question the
court took d recess until afternoon.
A large crowd was in attendance
within the court room when the cas- /.
