We viii not attempt, however, 10 draw
any distinction between this case and
the BOYD case. We do not think that

admit the evidence. -
Letters Admissible.
The next fight came on the admission
of the correspondence which had been
found in the office Of the Nippu JiJi.
| Lighifoot made the same point as be-
fore. adding the objection that letters
received by the defendants were not
evidence against them. Kinney took
the point that they showed the inhamed
state of mind of the audience which was
being melted daily by the ineendiary
articles OF the Jill, and Ballou raised
the point that they were also admissi-
! BILE as correspondence which had been
invited by the Jill. Judge DE Bolt ruled
| that the letters were on the same foot
! ing as the letter from the anarchist,
! Most, 10 Spies, seized among the lat
ter's effects and used az evidence in the
anarchist case in Illinois, and admitted
the letters.
The first read was special report
from Aiea, in which il was stated that
the local officers had gone to EVA, Wal.

The next paper introduced was dc

IL in the document il was stated that
is lawyer must be hired TO defend thei

martyrdOm was TO consist Of acts while

IN was corrected draft in his handwri
