freshly killed seals in their possession
Their names areJ. Kumamoto, S. Nag

men was chiefly that of (’ant. Cantwell

fair but because of its fidelity to fact it
fell short of legal proof He testified
as an expert of’iff years experience in
the patiol of the seal islands that the
seals tiik* u had not been killed mote
than four hours; that the skins were
di ippmg with fresh red blood The
jury could not do otherwise than be
