York hands and that soon after Capt.
 Boy-Ed came to him and told him
 that the money was to be spent un-
 der his (Boy-Ed's) direction. We
 shall show that $500, 1000 to $6OO,0oO
 of this money was sent to San Fran cisco where it was spent to charter and supply three ships with coal and provisions and that these ships sailed out and met the German crui-
 ser Leipzig, and perhaps the Dres- den.
 One hundred and thirty-five thou sand dollars of this money, we shall
 show. was spent for the purchase out
 right of one of these three vessels,
 aad all of the $75O,oOO was spent un-
 der Capt. Boy-Eds personal direc-' tion and instructions.
 Many Ships Used.
 Sixteen or seventeen ships were used," Mr. Wood continued, "by the defendants to carry coal, water, wine sauerkraut and other needed supplies to the Leipzig, Dresden, Gap Trafalgar, Eba, Santa Lucia, Eleanor Woremer, and other German men-of-war. These stsamers all carried supercargoes placed aboard by the defendants each supercargo bearing sealed instructions which were opened after the vessel steamed away, sometimes within the three mile limit
 The defendant Kotter, we shall snow, signed letters which the super cargoes carried and these letters ad- dressed to the captains of the steamers selected to supply German warships, instructed the captains to obey the and promised them lib- eral gratuities for doing so.
 Captains Met Ships.
 We shall show that after these vessels sailed for Buenos Aires, l LaGuayra, Cadiz, Monrovia and other destinations, the supercargoes in- | the captains to go elsewhere and that the captains obeying these 1 instructions took their vessels to meet German warships at sea and to deliver to the warships the supplies aboard.
 We shall show that these de- conspired, at various meet ngs, to do all these things; that in so doing they rode roughshod over the avs and treaties of the United States IS contemptuously as if those laws and treaties had been mere scraps of paper"
 MT. Woods address lasted less than 'orty minutes.
