NO QUESTIONS
ASKED BY HIM
Jacob Rosenberg on His Own
Behalf Tells About
Brass Nails.

Jacob Rosenberg's trial in the Unit
ed states District Court was resumed
yesterday morning. At the close of
the afternoon session it appeared to
be not far from reference to the jury.
Rosenberg was then on the stand in
his own behalf and undergoing cross
examination.
Some critical stages We're passed by
the prosecution before the defense be
gan its case, one of them not advan-
tageously to the prosecution. Judge
Dole denied a motion for a directed
verdict of acquittal. He also over
ruled motion to strike out the tes-
timony of all the prosecutors wit
nesses. But a motion to strike out
the exhibits of brass nails alleged TO
be the stolen property of the United
States mentioned in the indictment
was allowed
The witnesses for the prosecution
called yesterday We're L. B. Reeves, W.
j. Dyer and Edwin Paris.
Rosenberg on the stand was shown
some nails which he said he bought
at public auction a few doors from
his storehouse on Queen street. They
were new nails, bought about the
same time as the nails brought to- his
shop by the Korean-one of the mar
ried couple that had given evidence
for the prosecution. He paid eighty
five cents for thirteen and a half
pounds of nails brought by the Ko-
rean His japanese showed him the
nails after receiving them. He had
no idea at the time that the nails
had been stolen from anybody. There
was no Indication that they were
stolen nails. When received the nails
were not concealed. They remained
in one place until officer Reeves found
them.
Mr.. Rawlins said his cross-examina-
ton of the defendant would be lengthy
and he suggested, it being near four
o'clock, that the proceedings go over
for the day. Mr.. Robertson objected
to the loss of time and Judge Dole said
there was a quarter of an hour left
and directed counsel to go ahead.
Rosenberg described the place of the
auction sale. Morgan was the auction
eer, 'Blily conducting the SdlS-IiidL
was all the name he knew for him.
He did not know whose goods were
sold. Besides nails there were lime,
iron, wood, ETC., offered. He bought a
hundred pounds of nails, if not more.
1t was more than four months ago; ne
could not state the time exactly
He also bought nails from Cotton
Bros. This was over a year ago. He
distinctly remembered the visit of the
Korean to his shop, but could not say
if it was morning or afternoon his
Jap and he We're there, he being in
the office. He did not see the Korean.
1t was the first time he had ever had
transaction with that man relative
to brass. He did not make any in
curry of the man about the purchase
of the nails. It was his custom to
make no inquiries when new man
came in with anything to SELL After
the Korean left he asked the Jap where
he got the nails.

ing. found the bait undisturbed. How
ever. when he went. back in the after
noon he found trout IL inches in
length securely caught by the lower
jaw.
The trout was so near gone that he
removed II and took 1t to Ralph
Whites store in Williamsburg, where
1t was placed in an aquarium and is
now as lively as any fish there.
Although traps for mink are fire.

gion. this is the first time n trout has
ever been caught In one.
