day as she should.
In Fords deposition he stated that
he had been on shore the day on which
the trouble occurred and that he had
taken few drinks but was not by any
means drunk. That on returning TO
the ship he got into an Argument with
some of his shipmatcs in regard TO
nationalities. This was terminated by
q Spaniard grabbing him around the
legs and throwing him to the ground
He defended himself then and after
wards went down to his dinner III,
stated that when he was arrested he
was in his berth and that he had seen
one of the officers of the ship point him
out and tell the police officer to arrest
him.
The only witness put on the stand
during the morning was officer Kaaila,
who arrested Ford. He stated that he
had been instructed to 20 to the Ocoanic
dock by his lieutenant as there was
some trouble there. That there he
met Captain Clark. the dock supeiin-
tendent nd the First Officer of the Ven
tura. The latter took him on board
and told him to arrest Ford. whom he
found eating his dinner. Ford asked
to be allowed to get some clothes and
disappeared aud was not found till
some time later when he was In his
bunk and was again put under arrest
by the instruction of the Chief officer.
In the cross-cXamination the defense
attempted to show that the police officer
had been ordered to make an arrest by
his superior and thus throw the suit
for damages on the Sheriff and the po-
licoman instead Of the Oceanic company
but the witness stuck to his original
story.
The turn which the case will take
