MATTERS CASE
GIVEN TO JURY
Arguments Are Opened by Opposing
Lawyers After Three Solid
Weeks of Testimony.
DISREGARD CONSPIRACY CHARGE

Arguments in the trial of Thomas H.
Matters on a charge Of aiding President
Luebben OF the First National bank of
Sutton, now defunct, in operations con-
trary to national banking laws, opened
yesterday In federal court after three
weeks OF testimony.
Assistant United States Attorney Lane
opened for the government and was fol-
ters for the defense.
In the afternoon T. j. Burkett closed
the argument for the defense and United
States Attorney Howell closed for the
government. It was $3.50 o'clock when
Judge Youmans began reading his in
structions to the jury. This took an
hour.
Judge Youmans instructed the jury to
disregard entirely the statements of at
torneys for the defense in their argu-
ments that there existed conspiracy
on the part of the government and that
President Luebben had been promised
immunity in exchange for his testimony,
as no evidence OF anything of this nature
had been given.
Jury Retires at Five-Ten.
The jury took the case at $40, Judge
Youmans giving permission to decide
whether they wished to retire for the
night to their hotel and start their de-
liberations in the morning or whether
they wished to hold a night session.
They decided to hold a night session and
returned to the jury room in the post
office after having dinner at their hotel.
The court room was crowded for the
final day of the long drawn out trial.
The two mysterious women who have
knitted during every hour of the trial
were there early and stayed late. They
have not missed a day nor an hour
Who are they? Nobody seems to know.
They knit. knit, knit as calmly as though
they were not witnessing the spectacle
Of a man fighting 10 keep out Of prison.
The fishwomen who sat knitting in the
shadow of the guillotine in the wild days
OF the French revolution and counted
the heads as they fell into the basket
were not more calm than these two mys,
terious women.
And neither the making Of a momentous
decision by the judge nor the trembling
voice of a fearful witness nor the sob OF
grief nor the flights of oratory have
caused them to, miss q stitch.

Americans Who Sail
AS Horse Tenders on
British Ships Adrift

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
LONDON, Monday, Feb. 22 - Many
Americans have been induced to ship on
promises OF good pay and a return ticket
to America, only to be turned adrift PEN
niless in England or France.
Such vessels run from American ports
t. England and France with remounts
for the allies. The men are assured they
will be paid from SIS to $40 for their
work and then supplied with a return
ticket or an opportunity TO work their
way back on another steamer.
Upon arriving they often fail 10 get the
money promised and are frequently turned
loose to shift for themselves. Sometimes
they are given 81 80 and an order for re-
turn passage on a ship sailing a month
hence. Obviously the man cannot wait
and often he offers to work his way home
for nothing.
These unfortunate men have been ap-
pealing for help to American officials in
Lcndon. Since November more than
100 have made known their distress. The

American officials in England and

discourage Americans from coming into

For years the mistreatment Of Ameri-

complaint, but since the opening OF the
war conditions have become much worse
There are evidences of general under
