Gregory Weinstein, personal friend

Martens, appeared before a special
board of inquiry at Ellis Island yester-
day in connection with deportation pro-
ceedings brought against him. Vein
stein is accused of spreading Bolshevist
propaganda in this country with view
to accomplishing the overthrow Of the
government by force.
The hearing was. held behind closed
doors and lasted several hours. 1t will
be resumed this week. Weinstein ap-
peared accompanied by two attorneys
Rose Weiss and Charles Recht, of Al
West Forty-second Street. The Bureau
of immigration was represented by at
torneys from the law department of the
service at Washington. Acting Com
missioner of immigration Byron H
Uhl explained that all deportation hear
ings come under the general rules of
inspection of immigrants and are not
regarded as formal trials.
Attorneys Not Allowed to Object
Superintendent Baker further ex-
planned the mode Of procedure by add
ing that the attorneys for the accused
are not allowed to put into the record
any. objections, but such objections
may be filed in brief after the receipt
of all testimony. This rule prevented
Weinstein's attorneys from objectine
to the reading into the record of ex-
tracts of literature seized in raids on
organizations with which Weinstein
WAS alleged to have been connected.
The day was consumed in reading
this kind of literaturee Weinstein was
not placed on the stand and, according
to his attorneys, will refuse to answer
any questions in case he is, on the
ground that his attorneys have not the
right to fight against the introduction
of any evidence they may deem preju-
