 The case of U. S. vs. Bruce Rog- CTS is on trial before Commissioner O'Neil. Almost the entire time dur ing yesterdays session was consum- ed by the students of Blackstone representing both sides, presenting ! voluminous authorities pertaining
 to the illegality or the legality of the complaint. Judge Lomen quoted the law and opinions from various books for nearly two and half
 hours. During his very able argu- ments to the Court the Judge re- cited a couple of poems and also told the following story which the , audience seemed to appreciate. A MT. Coffin who was born in Boston i later became an Admiral in the British navy and while his ship was on a trip from England to Amer ica, Coffin told his shipmates that
 Holsters weighing 25 pounds were frequently caught in Cape Cod Bay. Of course it being told by an admi- ral the jolly "Tars" din't like to
 openly doubt his varacity, SO they swallowed it with an extra grain of
 salt. Coffin said all right I'll take I you deep water men up the Bay
 and show you the place where they
 used to catch them kind of Holsters when I was a kid. Arriving at the
 entrance of the harbor the admiral went ashore but failed to locate any such Holsters as he promised to pro duce He returned with affidavits 1 taken from several ancient fisher men to the effect that such Holsters
 had been caught in the vicinity oi the Cape. But the admirals ship i mates couldn't see it that way ant
 told him the aftidavits were no Holsters. The District Attorney
 didn't seem to appreciate Judge
 Lomen's illustration.
 The District Attorney quoted tht
 law and argued his side of the cast
 for about an hour, after which th'
 Court said he would reserve hi judgment until noon today as tt
 the legality of the complaint. Th' jury took their seats in the box a
 o'clock. The District Attorne!
 asked for an adjournment of thu case until ,he Court rendered de cision. The Court thereupon saiC Gentlemen it's very close but I'v, M decided in favor of the Governmen \ in regards to the legality of tn complaint. Al Braten was recalle' to the stand and testified, and als produced the Union records, per taining to Bruce Rogers employ ment. Gus Lynell was the mex witness called by the Governmen and was upon the stand when Cour adjourned until 10 a. m today T
