and in 1917 45,000 pounds. Though the

“Koreans often slept at my lions* *
and 1 could only guess at it in view of

“Did you know that they secretly
distributed announcements and that

asked tho judge.
“1 knew the police were trying to

“but I did not know these boys had

hunting for them. They said nothing
to me about fleeing from the police.
1 did not hide them as fugitives. I
made no effort to conceal them and I

“If i hail been infotincd that ill •

he was led off by a policeman. The

him that Mr. Mowry was rot notified

The procurator told Mr. Moftet
that they had a riurht to appeal bu
