Fock, and Reiss are being tried for the
surrender of Port Arthur to the Japan

ming up Gen. Gursky judge advocate,
demanded that the court impose the
death sentence on Stoessel, Fock, and
Reiss. on Stoessel as the responsible
agent for surrender Of the fortress and
on Fock and Reiss as the men who in
spired and abetted him.
Fer Gen. Smirnoff, who was declared
guilty of not having taken measures to
prevent the surrender, the judge advo-
cate asked punishment of imprison-
rnclt &: labor for four years.
The judge advocate admitted, how
ever, the right of the court to take in
to consideration the former records of
Stoessel and Fock. He alluded to Gen.
Fock's heroic conduct in the battle OF
Shipka pass, during the Russo-Turk;sh
war, for which he was given the cross
of st. George, but he said Gen. Eeiss
did not have the slightest claim to
clemency; that he was a liar vain
glorious boaster.
During the scathing Indictment by
the judge advocate, which lasted near

Smirnoff showed extreme nervousness
and depression. Gen. Stoessel shifted
uneasily in his seat and flushed end

his reputation to shreds. He male no

his hands in distress, while Gen. Smir-

self confidence he has hitherto main
tained. Gen. Fock alone was not in
timidated. During the entire address of
the Judge advocate he glared ferOcious
