WOODS OPENING srATEmENT.
Charge Great Sums Wsrs Spent Ia
Amsriea to Supply German Ships.


New York, Nov. 23.-An important:
witness for the government in the case
against Karl Buenz, managing director,
and employees Of the Aamburg-Amer-
lean line, charged with sending supply
ships to German warships in the At
lantic, has left the Jurisdiction Of the
United States. He Il now In Bermuda.
This became known today when the
second day Of the trial opened. The
name Of this witness and what cog he
was In the governments machinery
was not disclosed by Roger H. Wood.
assistant district attorney. Mr.. Wood
said. however. that the man knew he
would be wanted to testify.
Immediately after the jury box was
filled, William Rand. Of counsel for the
defense, notified Assistant Attorney
Wood that the defense would withdraw
that part Of the previous admission
pertaining to the alleged connection Of

sion made by the defendants. stated
that Captain Boy-,Dd had been cons.
suited regarding sending steamships
with supplies to German sen raiders.
and that the work was carried on
largely under the direction Of the naval
attache.
Prosecutor Woods Statement.
In almost the first words In his OPEN
ing address to the jury, Mr.. Wood
charged that Captain Boy-Ed directed
the chartering and loading of some Of
the vessels, and that $760.000 for the
relief Of German warships was spent
under his direction here.
''We expect to show" Mr.. Wood
said. that this conspiracy extended
from New York and Philadelphia to
San Francisco and New Orleans. We
expect to show that DR.. Buenz en-
ployed . man named KulenkAmpf to
clear two vessels in hurry from
Philadelphia at the very opening OF the
war, telling him that this was desirable
because the Hamburg American line
should not appear In the Transaction.
I'VE can prove that one OF the yes
sels-the Berwind-was loaded with
coal, bought from the Berwind Coal
Company, and we understand that DR..
Buenz wanted Mr.. Berwind. of the coal
company, to clear the steamer, but that
Mr. Berwind demurred and Kulen-
kampf was called in to do the work.
Operations Well finanesd.
!; yves hall prove that not long after
ward Kulenkampf received 37Se.000
from some place in Germany-$he did
not know where or from whom-thas
he put this money In two New York
banks, and that soon after Captain
Boy-Ed came to him and told him the
money was to be spent under his
(Boy-Eds) direction. We shall show,
that $500, 900 to 100000 Of this money
was sent to San Francisco where It
was spent to charter and supply three
ships with coal and provisions snd that
these vessels sailed out and met the
cruiser Leipzig and perhaps the Dres.i
