J. Raven and J. Warner Brown in the American Court, the defence expressed confidence in the Court in dealing with the case in ae~ cordance with facts and aspects of law found in the present trial only and disregarding the decisions of the other tribunal, Although the case was adjourned for only one day, the defence continued, important evidence had been gathered which would go to prove that the alleged transfer was without the knowledge of the accused, and even the two receipts for $32,000, were without his signature.
