Boy.Ed Broasht In Again.

Easily the most important witnesses
were those through whose testimony
Capt. Boyd again was brought into
the Ease as we'll a. the nrst mention OF
the North German Lloyd. Collector OF
the Port Hamilton Of Newport News
and Norfolk was chief Of these. in hat
his testimony was strongest for the
Governments charges that the Marina
Quexada had been cleared by fraud.
This testimony In turn led to the sub
hitting Of the telegram forwerded here
in care OF Capt. Boy-Edh once. n the
letter which directly concerned the hasty
sailing Of the Marina Quesada, seemed
ment's contention that h kaieers
naval attache. the North German Lloyd
agent and the Hamburg-American Line
(n which Kaiser wilhelm himself 9 .
large s~tockholder). all were interested
in the clearing Of the ship.
The letter. signed in the left hand
corner only with the initials Of Capt.
Hans suhren OF the Marine 0ue:Ada.
was marked In evidence when Harry
Reyner. q ship chandler Of Newport
, News, took the stand AFTER Collector
Hamilton had testified that clearance
papers for the Marina 0ueSAda .
been obtained from him under FALSE
pretences.
Reyner had said that At the behest OF
one Of the defendants, Hachmeister. he
had bought supplies for the ship. Then.
he testified further, when Capt suhrsn
was about to sail the skipper paid the
witness all but $1,000 for the stores
bought from Reyner. The letter mailed
to Hachmeister was then submitted. II
was written on the note paper. Of Reg
ner, the witness. and runs as follows
