Before leaving the room Alaska. the
Chilian cabin boy. walked around and
shook hands with the seven other de-
PENDANTS who had not been so fortunate.
As he bade them good bye the tears
rolled from the eyes of the little cabin
boy
In nolle prosecuting the case against
these men Mr.. Nields stated that while
the law holds that any sailor who in
case of mutiny sides with the mutineers
rather than the captain, is also guilty.
yet he desired 10 withdraw the case
against these men, as the testimony had
shown that the men took no active
part in the mutiny. but were rather vic.
Tins of circumstances.
The counsel for each side then pre-
sented their case to the Jury. Mr.
Nields. for the government. first pre-
senting his arguments. He quoted from
the testimony TO show that the seven
remaining defendants, John David Reed.
Richard Williams, Joseph Horsfall. John
Edlin. Albm Anderson William Joyce
and Charles II. Lyons. were guilty of
the charge OF mutiny on the high seas
on October 25 1913.
The district attorney reviewed the
testimony to show that these men had
taken active part in the mutiny. and he
read from numerous cases bearing upon
the subject.
Mr. Ball, in his discourse to the Jury.
dwelt upon the TACT that the men had
been actuated by fear OF death when
taking part in the alleged mutiny,
which under law is an eXcusable iustii-
cation.
Mr.. Ball waxed warm in his hcratings
of the treatment which is alleged to
have been accorded the men He de-
clared that Captain Townsend showed
his true nature when he said in cross
examination that he "cursed the men TO
ease his mind Mr. Balls address to
the jury was oratorical and accompan-
led by frequent gestures.
MIR. Nields concluded the statement
of the governments case when he
averred that the two "log' books kept
| by Joyce and Horsfal were the last
word. There was no statement regard
| ing poor grub in this log" and few al
lusions to cruel treatment by the SUI
lperior officers. He declared that if the
acts testified by the men on the stand
had been true they would have been set
down IN the logs" Even putting aside
the witnesses OF both sides, said Mr.
Nields, you gentlemen OF the jury
should carefully wei h the testimony OF
these two log" books. He referred To
the books kept by Joyce and Horsfall
lprior to the alleged rlutiny. On per.
haps six days previous to the alleged
mutiny the men wrote "all is we'll
It was $50 o'clock when Mr.. Bal

Egg laying contests are now being
carried on in many states of the union.
and they are serving as an excellent
stimulus to the utility side Of the
