Larceny Charge Continues

Accused Examines Witness In H.M. Court; Registrar Advises Legal Aid

"T'm not going to listen to any more nonsense about negotiations for buying cabarets" said Mr. C. H. Haines, Registrar, in H.M. Court yesterday, when the hearing of the charge against Carlos Orlando Danenberg, who is accused of the larceny of certain property and money to the value of $1,000 belonging to Dr. C. E Coolidge, also known as Dr. Soon-dora, a Siamese physician trained in Tondon, was resumed.

After repeatedly warning the accused to question the witness on relevant matters, Mr. Haines stated that he would adjourn the case until 40.40 a.m, on Wednesday, and, in the meantime, he would see the Judge with a view to obtaining representation for Danenberg.

Questioning the complainant, Danenberg asked if he had ever discussed the cabaret business with Mr. Fagan, Mr. Liang and himself, and the witness replied that he had. He denied that they had ever come to a decision as/a result of these, talks. At this point Danenberg said "He encouraged me and everybody else to proc ith the cabaret business."

Mr. Haines—What are you talking about?
