Defendants Confident.

Messrs Cochrane. .Lexow and Beat
tie, attorneys for the sugar company
employees, believe their appeal will
avail with Judge Martin and that the
indictments against their clients will
be dismissed or that they will be re-
manded for trial to the federal court
in Brooklyn after they shall have
been reindicted by grand jury
there.
In connection with the trial United
States District Attorney Wise and his
assistants expressed much gratifca-
ton that in his annual message to
congress President Taft had specific
ally urged that no investigation OF
the sugar trust by congress shall be
authorized at this time. Mr. Wise
intimated broadly that IL congress
should remain inactive in the matter
for several months results of much
more far reaching importance than
are hoped for from the trials now in
progress will be achieved.

progress will be achieved.
Evidence Important.
Evidence regarded as important by
Henry l.. Stlmson and his assistants
in the prosecution of the men on
trial, was developed. II was shown
by the dock books of the government
weighers that the weights of the
cargo on the steamer Strathyre which
was being discharged November 20.
1907, wnen Richard Parr made his
discovery of the secret spring by
which the scales were made to UNDER
weigh, that the weights ran between
9S6 and 99S pounds before the dis
civery. while after that they ran
from 1,004 to 1,02G pounds.
Harry Waters, a liquldator in the
customs service, produced tabulations
made up from books put in evidence
showing the difference in weights be-
tween those returned and those re-
ported by the government. A copy
of the tabulation was handed to each
juror and Nr. Denison explained the
exhibit to them. On cross-examina-

SUGAR PROBE
NEARING End
DEFENSE WILL ENTER PLEA OF
LACK OF JURISDICTION.
Richard Whalley, Ex-EmpIoye, Who
Has Been in Government Service,
Proves Interesting Witness.
TAFTs ATTITUDE APPROVED

New York, Dec. 9.-The prosecu-
tion will close Its case in the trial of
the minor employees of the sugar trust
charged with conspiracy to defraud
the government. The defense will
then enter a plea of lack of jurisdic-
ton and all the lawyers on that side
expressed the utmost confidence in
the success of that movement TO free
their clients. Preceding this a for
mai motion 10 dismiss the indictments
against all six defendants will be
made on the ground that the govern
ment has failed to prove its case.
Anticipating that Special Judge
Martin will override the latter mo-
|tion, the lawyers for the defense are
prepared 10 present strong arguments
on the plea OF lack OF jurisdiction.
Every one Of the defendants Is a resi-
dent of The Eastern judicial district,
which comprises all of Long Island.
A year ago most OF them were tried
on substantially the indictments on
which they are now being tried in the
Southern district of New York, which
comprises Manhattan. Their lawyers
will contend that the constitution of
the United States was violated when
their clients were brought from the
judicial district of their residence for
