Diver c. F. Stagger worked on the bottom of Gastlneau channel all day Saturday and O largo part of Sunday but was unable to discover any trace of the body Of William Christie. The bottom at the point where he has been working ia smooth and sandy. The only thing discovered was a old cap which has no bearing on the case as Christie wore hat when he disappeared. The search for Chris ties body at the point in the channel where Krause anchored his boat has been abandoned. at least for the time being.
 The government continues introduc- ing evidence in the Krause kidnap- ing case. Phillip R. Bradley, con. sulting engineer of the Treadwell company. was on the stand for a short time thls morning and testified to the method of checking up on the amalgamators at Treadwell which makes it impossible for them to steal any of the solution. He also testi- fled that none of the gold had been missed and that. to the best of his knowledge Christie had no reason to leave. This evidence was intro duced to refute questions during cross examination of witnesses on the part of the defending attorneys tending to lead the jury to believe that Chris tic had been stealing gold and was forced to leave for fear of being dis covered
