GIGANTIC WAVES
 SWEEP VESSELS ON WAY ACROSS
Seventeen Thousand Pas sengers Arrive In New York on Related
 Steamer
By Associated Press

New York, December 1S.--Sub-
 stnntial evidence of the fierce wiu-
 ter storms which have prevailed
 fer the last 10 days along the
 steamer lanes between this eeun-
 try and Europe wns shown by
 eiwht big passenger liners which
 arrived here today with more than
 I7,Ooo belatcd passengers.
 Hulls encrusted with ice, rigging covered with sleet and salt from spray caked on tunnels. prefaced the stories told by ships officers of high winds and gigantic waves that swept their vessels from stem to stern.
 The ships arriving were the Roter dam from Holland via Plymouth; the Baltic, Royal Greece. Carmania and Caronia from British ports via Hali- fax the Lafayette, from Havre; Ber- gensfjord, from Norway, and Eusopia, from Genoa. All were from three to five days overdue and some of them reached port too late to dock before tomorrow morning.
 The first of the big liners to come into her dock was the Rotterdam, which reached quarantine late last night. She was three days late and her master Captain J, Baron, declared that the. trip was the toughest he had ever made. His decfarat1On was sup ported by Rear Admiral Andrew Long of the United States, who returned after escorting the king and queen of the -Belgians back to their country Admiral Long said that one week ago when in mid-Atlantic the weather was so rough that the big liper was rocked like cradle One of the passengers was thrown to the deck and suffered broken leg On board the ship were five stowaways who were scared from their hiding places by the rough weather.
 Tse Carmania another of the belated ships, had to put in at Halifax to re- pair damages caused by q collision at sea with another ship in fog off the Grand Banks. Many of her passengers were laI'Atd al the Canadian port,
 The CaroniR from Southampton was close to the Carmania when the acci dent occurred and responded to her wireless calls by putting about and go ing to her assistance. The tendered help was not needed. but she accom- panied her into Halifax. On board the Caronia were more than 5000 Chinese who served in France as laborers dur ing the war. They were landed at Halifax and will re-embarlS for their own country ct Vancouver

GOVERNMENT WILL
 REST CASE TODAY
 IN COURT-MART|AL
Defense Will Claim Grour. of Soldiers Framed" U on Him, With Hoyt as .
 Their Leader
By Associated Prs.s

New York, December 1S.-Judge
 Advocate Kelly. chief prosecutor at
 the court-martiaI of Capt. Karl ".
 Detxer. former head of criminal i'm
 vestigafion work at Le Mans,
 charged with brutality to mem
 bers of the American expeditionarS
 force, announced late today that
 the government would rest its case
 tomorrow.
 The defense will open it's case by calling witnesses in an endeavor to prove that Captain Detzer is the vic tim of a group of soldiers who "framed'' him and whose alleged leader was Sergt. Frank Hoyt, former mill tary police officer reported to be a deserter from the American army in France.
 Lieutenant Heffernan, counsel for Captain Detzer, stated that he would disprove testimony of Murray F. Phil lips given earlier in the day that Sergt. [. $. Madden of Pittsburg had robbed him of 5l00 francs after being brought to headquarters and had shared the money with Captain Detzer. It will be shown, Lieutenant Heffer- nan said that Madden was under ar rest in solitary confinement on the day of the alleged theft and that Captain Detzer was on furlough at Foul.
 Private J. E. Garbett of Jasper, Tex, denied on cross examination by coun- sel for the defense that he had ad- mitted to medical officer at Fort Jay that he had stolen jewelrv in French cafe because he had received no army pay while in France. He said he had been in France from July, 1918, until January. 1919, and that 63 francs about SIP at that time-was the only pay he got, but that he was innocent of the robbery of which he was con- victed on what he claims was a false confession forced from him by Captain Detzer's assistsnt, Lieutenant Marlow.

 ser, whom Harry $. New fs charged
 with killing, today told jury the
 story of her daughters affair with
 the man who claims to he the son
 of the United States senator from

 tween intervals of hysteria. She
 was the second witness to appear before the jury, which was sworn
 in today after the state and the
 defense had refused to permit wo-
 men to pass the peremptory chaI-
 lenges.
 Mrs. Lesser was escorted to the courtroom from her home by county d9tectives and as she neared the trial room she tainted. When she. was re- Vived her screams penetrated the courtroom and several other women became hysterical. Judge Craig or ,dered recess till quiet was restored Mrs. Lesser testified that her daughter was 20 years old and had been courted for some months by New. They had been fellow employees in a Los Angeles business house.
 Two days before the alleged mur- der, Mrs. Lesser said, New told her he wished to marry her daughter on the day which proved the last of her life. She urged him to wait, she said, but he insisted on an early marriage, Ssne next day. according to the witness, she. her daughter and a neighbor wo- man and New went on an automobile ride, returning to the Lesser home that afternoon. New and Miss Lesser then drove away again and that was the last Mrs. Lesser saw of her daughter. she said.

 T never saw nicer young man, ; she said. q had every confidence in him"
 Mrs Lesser was preceded on the stand by E. A Davidson, police de- tective. The witness said he was on duty at the Central police station here about three o'clock on the morning of July 5, when the defendant entered and handed him a revolver.

 Davidson said he and another of- ficer and two newspaper men went outside the station and saw within a closed automobile the body of young woman, which he afterwards learned was that of Freda Lesser.
 It is the theory of the prosecution thatsNew killed his sweetheart in To- pango canyon, few miles from here in a burst of anger because of her re- fusal to marry him.
 The first prosecution witness was Dr. A. F Wagner. county autopsy sur geon. He testified an examination had shown that Miss Lesser was to become mother.
