OUT OF The CAN
Defense Counsel Valves
Opening Address
Especial to Tho Daily worksr)

NEW YORK, Oct. defense coun-
sci in the conspiracy trial OF Harry M.
Daugherty, former attorney general
and Thomas w. Miller, former alien
property custodian, today waived the
opening address to Judge Julian Mack
in federal court as they plunged into
their evidence.
The defense promptly summoned
George e. Williams, managing director
Of the alien property custodian's office
under Miller in 1921, to the stand.
Williams, about whom much OF the
governments case has been woven, is
regarded as the star witness for the
defense.
The Conspiracy Charges.
Prior to turning the case over to
the defense Judge Mack announced
that the conversation between VIII
liams and Richard Merton, German in
dustrialist, whose successful efforts to
recover 100000 in property held
during the war precipitated the con
spiracy charges, be permitted to go to
the jury as given by Merton in testi-
mony.
The conversation related to Mer-
toms efforts to obtain from Williams
information as to how to go about
recovering the property. Defense
counsel yesterday objected to its in
PRODUCTION on the ground that VIII
liams was not conspirator. Judge
Mack then repeated his ruling that
Williams was not conspirator and
that the jury should consider the con-
versation in this light.

For this reason, said wilhelm, his

retariats, as well as by the Amster.

rience had shown that the step was a
wise one, and there had been no rea-
son to regret it. They had naturally
had their differences Of opinion with
the Russian organization, but spirit

protested the action of the Esthonian
government, which forbids the Estho-
