Further interesting evidence was given on Tuesday.
Mr. J. H. Gibson, one time member of the Board of the Siberian Creameries, and a former director of the Siberian Agricultural Corporation, gave evidence that the corporation was formed upon the advice of the British Consul-General and the Crown Advocate at Shanghai, witness coming to Shanghai for advice when it became known that a large quantity of British and American goods in Vladivostok were about to be seized, these goods including piece goods, hardware, stationary, agricultural machinery and leather goods, taken over from the Siberian Creameries. Plaintiff was only an employee of Dr. Shendrikoff and was not a man of any financial standing. Witness was asked, and consented, to receive the goods for safe keeping, nothing whatever being said about their belonging to Ibragimott. They never in fact belonged to him, being the property of Dr. Shendrikoff, for whom plaintiff acted' while the doctor was in gaol.
