clared his clients innocence OF any
wrong doing would be shown.
Mr.. Graham said he would show that
Heike went to the late sugar trust pres
ident, IL, .. Havemeyer. and said:
II have found the government
weights are shorter hero and far more
liberal than allowed elsewhere"
From Mr.. Graham's reference 10 the
dead sugar company head, II appeared
that tho defense OF Heike would be
that the late Mr.. Havemeyer directed
his actions or was responsible for all
that he did.
Heike took the stand Immediately
after his counsel finished.
