By the Associated Presa.
NASSAU, New Providence. Bahamas.
January 28.--Reopening OF interna-
tional negotiations doomed today Is q
possible sequel to the conviction in Co
lonial Supreme Court Of c. II. Pop"
Nesle, former United States prohibition
agent, found guilty Of receiving stolen
propcrty-part Of rum boat cargo
seized by American Coast Guardsmcn
of the Bahaman shore.
Although formal papers have not yet
been forwarded 10 Washington, il vas
expected that eXtradition would be
asked for Larry Christensen, command
err Of the Coast Guard boat which made
the capture last September. Chief
Justice BEATTY. in charging the Jury
Yesterday. said 1t had been :'almoat con-
cl1siyely proved" that Nesle and
Christensen were hand in glove in
planning to appropriate the boats
cargo"
Christensens surrender had been
asked before. bu. 1t vas understood
that negotiations were held in abey-
auce, awaiting outcome OF the Ncsle
case.
The chief Justice told the jury that
evidence proved the seizure Was inaue
within the British territorial limit.
Christensen, now understood TO be
attached TO the Coast Guard forces az
Ferandina. Fla. had reported the cap
ture made FIVE miles from British
waters.
Coast Guard officers in Washington
last night we're quoted as saying they
believed Christensen entirely blamclcSs
in the affair.

In Yesterdays trial. charges Of lar
ceny against Nesle were dismissed and
his sentence for receiving stolen prop
erty was announced as one year, begin
ming with his original arrest, shortly
after the capture of the rum cargo.
The liquor involved, exhibited n the
trial as evidence. was found in Nesle' s
home on Cat Cay British island. The
defense plead that the liquor was stolen
by Mary de Vaux, negresS. servant OF
J. r. Clark, Miami. owner OF the island
Defense evidence also attempted to show
that the liquor found at Nesle's home
vas from another source, but prosecu-
ton witnesses failed 10 identify it as
such.
