Capt. Melchen testified. after
he had been advised he could not

He stated this advice had been
given him by the attorney gen

The point remains, however,
that the prosecution case de-
ponds upon a strange mixture of
British and American officers in
VeStigation and testimony.
But let the reader remember
the case goes far deeper than the
mere testimony now coming out
in the courtroom.
