after heard nothing more. Then bank messenger, bearing advice that a large sum of money was deposited to his ac- count at Speyer & Co.'S here, called on him. Other messengers came soon after ward, and by September 5 he had $750,000 on deposit at Speyer & Co.'S. none of which was owing to him, and all of which was entirely unexpected.
 What was the next development ?'' Wood asked
 A man called me on the telephone T Kulenkampff replied, "and said he was Captain Boy-Ed, and that the money was to be spent as he said. I told him to pre- sent proof that such was the case, and not long afterward representative here of the Deutche bank of Berlin called on me and told me that the man was Cap tain Boy-Ed, and that the money was to be spent as he said"
 Did you, spend it as Captain Boy-Ed told you to?" MT. Wood asked
 I did The first disbursement was $350,000. I was told to telegraph it to the Nevada National bank at San Francisco, and did so.'
 Kulenkampff then told in detail of other disbursements, all of which he said had been ordered by Captain Boy-Ed.
 The government will make no great ef- fort to bring before the jury. Wood said, what was done with the $35NO00 tele- sraphed to San Francisco. It would at- tempt to show, however, he asserted that the $213,OO0 paid by Kulenkampff by Boy-Ed's s orders to the North German Lloyd also went to San Francisco and was there expended m chartering and supplying steamers for the relief of Ger man cruisers in the Pacific.
 More than 50 witnesses probably will testify for the government during the remainder of the week. Nearly 100 in addition to those testifying today arc under subpoena but some will not be called. Federal Judge Howe, who Is presiding at the trial, today announced that he would devote all the time to the case which the government would require. This was in answer to pro- tests from MT. Rand that by bringing out matter which he had offered to concede the government was wasting time.
 Franklin D. Mooney, president of the New York and Porto Rico Steamship company, owners of the steamers Lo- renzo and Berwind. testified that he received $350,000 for the Lorenzo, which was seized, confiscated and sold by the allies.
 This was her full value and the amount of her indemnity bond fur nished by MT. Gang of the Hamburg American line, he said.
 Mr.. Wood handed the witness the bond in question and asked him what names appeared thereon.
 "John A. Berwind and Edward J Ber- wind" MT. Mooney replied
 MT. Wood brought out that Captain Fralkenberg of the Berwind had, been fined $500 by the port authorities for king a false declaration; that he (Mooney) had paid the fine, and that the amount of the fine was repaid him
 Wilson c. Peak, secretary of the New York and Porto Rico Steamship company, testified that the bill for the fine was made out to the Hamburg American line. It was paid. Mir. Peak said he thought, by the Hamburg American line. E. J. Berwind, multi millionaire coal operator the next wit ness, said his company had been paid by the Hamburg-American line for coaling several of the steamers in question. The Hamburg American line had been his customer for 30 years, he said, and when they asked him to go on the $350.000 bond for the To- renzo he readily consented.
