"As to Mr. Bryan's arguments that Garcia could never claim extra territorial rights if the Court will look up the record of the case to which he refers, you will see that Mr, Bryan is suppressing facts Jwhich are in favour of accused just.
he has been doing all along in this ease. What he says is only partly correct. The facts are that Garcia's Papers were not in order and that was why a four months' adjournment was granted. As soon as it was found that he was a Mexican citizen and that this had been proved to the satisfaction of the Mexican Consul, the Chinese authorities were informed and official correspondence was exchanged, "Mr. Bryan is mab capital out of the fact. that Garcia spoke English and not Spanish, But we must remember that there are thousands of Chinese who don't speak their own language. Does that mean thal they are not Chinese? If Bryan alleges that Garcia is of Americag, nationality, let him prove it. Hq doesn't realize how much worse hi is making the case for his masterd by stating that Garcia was alwayd under Chinese jurisdiction. If the police admit this, how on orth is it, that no action was taken before and: that correspondence was exchanged, with the Mexican Consul in this case only a few months ago? Why, did Mr, Aiers say in Curt that took no action because Garcia was of Mexican citizen?" In closing, Dey Fischer thanked the Court for listens ing to him so patiently and asked that the decision be reversed dismissed, He asked that the Court) should bear in mind that the Shanghai Municipal Council and the Shanghai Municipal Police wore ae~ complices in' the case and they ha right to prosecute: expect justice, we must do justice," he corns cluded.
The Court reserved judgment.
