RICE TRIAL NEARING END
Government Expects to Close Its
Side Early This Week.

The first phase OF the long drawn out
trial OF George Graham Rice and his as
sociates in the firm of B. II. Scheftels &
Co. which has been in progress for more
than three months before Judge Ray and
Jury in the United States District Court, Is
to close this week. At least this is the
expectation expressed by the Office OF the
United States Attorney. upon the sssump-
tion that the defence will not take UP too
much time in the cross-examination OF the
remaining witnesses for the government.
Counsel on both sides say frankly that
the trial has become to them something or
a horror. After many months of prepara-
ton. that consisted In a tedious and unin-
teresting scrutiny of the Scheftels books,
the trial for the greater part developed
into a battle between the expert account
ants. whose Interpretation Of the entrie'
in the firms books seemed TO differ on
many points.
The government introduced l,25l exhiolts'
and scores OF them were hotly opposed by
the defence as inadmissible In evidence.
The argument between the prosecutors and
counsel for the defendants over this sort
of thing consumed whole days, and IRE
ouentIy assumed the aspects OF wransle.
Goldthwaite II. Dorr. Assistant Uhted
States Attorney in charge OF the case SAID
Yesterday that ne expected 10 close for the
government on Tuesday or Wednesday. Inc
defence will then get its inning, but II Is
not considered likely that It will need more
than three weeks to complete its side.
