rying firearms. Accused was identi-
fed by two civilians and two police
men as having fired revolver shots,
but when searched, after leaving the
house of man named Mulcahy, no
weapon was found on him. William
G. Lee, a demobilized sailor, for the
defense, declared he followed the man
who fired the revolver, and the man
was not accused.
Mullane said no matter what charge
was preferred he was not supposed to
recognize the Court, but the charge
was trumped up by unscrupulous po-
lice. At the close of the Court evil
dence was given of accused having
previously got four months for tumul-
tuous assembly and putting munition
workers in fear.
