EXTRAD|T|ON FIGHT
RENEWED BY insult
Financier Calm in Answering
Formal Questions Before
Greek Court.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATHENS, Greece, october 21-Sam-
uel insult arrived in court early today
In readiness for the hearing on the
United States Governments claim for
his extradition in connection with the
collapse Of his utilities interests.
With the veteran flnancier were two
plain clothes men and one of his
lawyers.
Forest A. Harness, representative of
American judicial authorities, followed
with M. c. Calopothakis, former trans
lator of the American legation, as in
terpreter.
insult himself was quite calm amid
the surroundings with which he had
become familiar in previous proceedings
Question Goes Unanswered.
He replied in a firm voice to the
court presidents routine of questions as
to his age, profession, domicile and
length of his stay in Greece.
do you know that the American
Government accuses you of going
counter to the laws of the United
States of American" the president asked
insult did not reply to this.
The public prosecutor then pro-
ceeded to state the case in issue, point
Ing out that the law permitted that
insult be tried in the Superior Court
to decide the merits of the case.
It was for the Appeals Court Coun-
Gil to examine the condition under
which the extradition was sought, and
the proofs submitted, he added.
Then the public prosecutor pointed
out that certain offenses considered
punishable under the laws of other
countries were not so considered in
Greece
He restated the accusation against
insult, fraudulent bankruptcy and
transfer of property in anticipation of
bankruptcy.
Prosecutors Tone Biting.
The prosecutors tone as he thus
set forth the latter points was ex-
tremely biting.
The court interrupted the session for
10 minutes, during which insult lighted
q small cigar.
1t was stated during the interval that
insults Chicago lawyers this afternoon
would release to the press an impor-
tant document after first submitting it
to the court.
At this point, the case appeared to
those present in the small court room
to be not materially different from
previous hearings, as the extradition
was being sought on much the same
arguments.
Upon resumption of the proceedings
shortly before noon, Denis Lazarimos,
attorney for insult, spoke for the de-
fense, referring to the first verdict in
the case and praising the Greek sense
of justice in dealing with this, which
he said equaled Greek hospitality
Lazarimos pointed out that the ac-
cusation against insult could be an ex-
traditable one only when punishable
locally.
At that point a recess was called for
lunch.
