The accused was re-called and, to a very great extent, his evidence was a duplication of that given when questioned yesterday by Mr, Schuhl. He was questioned at Tength' on his activities in connec tion with the sale of bullet-proof vests and said that he saw the possibilities of good profits in the sale of the vests and so went into the business, He subsequently manufactured them cheaply and gold them at a large profit. He also had roulette wheels manufactured in Shanghai and sold them at a high profit, In connection with death ray machines, accused said he was very interested and was endeavouring to complete a machine constructed in accordance with his own ideas, Accused stated that he made various statements in the U. 8, Court for China in an attempt to help Crowe ley who was on trial. He also admitted having received two cables from Crawley, whilst the latter was in Japan, and sending one.
Yang's Purchase of Ammunition D. Yang, one of the complain" ing witnesses, was examined Jength by Mr. Schuhl, and his evi dence was substantially the same given in the U.
