JARDINE SHIPPING
CLAIM.
(Continued from Page 1.)
Ichang on July 12 or 13 of last year,
On his personal relationship with Mr. Katz, of the defendant company, he was explicit. He had been once or twice to Mr. Katz's office, he said, and called him "Jimmy," though he did not reckon himself one of Mr. Katz's friends. He had not discussed this case, with Mr. Katz, who received com- mission of shipments of which he was the shipper.
At Iching, he said, the lighters into which the cargo was unload- ed were public lighters hired by the company. They were under the supervision of the Customs and of reliable Chinese,' He had heard of smuggling and arms- running, but personally had not come Into contact with it in those waters. Ho then explained the importance of the numbering of The enses, which tallied with the numbers on the ship's manifest and the shipping order.
Right of Search,
The Chinese military at Wan- hsien had, according to the wit- nc38, the right of searching vessela; this right and heen grant- ed by the Powers. Many other; cases of cargo have been opened in such searches. The right was confined to Wanhsien only.
In reply to Mr. Franklin, wit ness said that pilforing cargo was common when there was anything to du with labour; pilferage did not occur on ships or in godowns. When imported into Shanghai thei cases of needles had been describ. I
"common iron ware." #3
Ho then explained various technical points regarding bills of lading.
After further evidence, Mr. Franklin put Mr. Tod back into the witness box to testify as ta. damages. He attempted to put in a letter of claim from Butterfield & Swire, but on the objection of Mr. Schuhl, the judge overruled it. Then followed a long discus- sion between Judge Party and Mr. Franklin on legal aspects of the
case.
Must Be Proved,
The judge maintained that the. plaintiff had to prove the damages: sustained by Butterfield & Swire, which they had puld. A slute- of claim was not enough. e) then dwelt on the question whether Mr. Katz could be held liable for Une detention of a ship at Wan- hsien when, front, Mr. To 'eviderice, the Chinese Military were entitled to search the ship for contraband. If the Chinese military had confiscated the vessel, would Mr. Katz be liable? be naked.
"Nothing in the ease shows guilty knowledge on the part of Mr. Katz," he commented,
After Rome further discussion the ease was adjourned.

S they gathered around the murdered man, an eerie sound came from the
window. Satan, the black pigeon, was trying to get in the room. Insignificant as the incident appeared at the time, it was nevertheless the most important clue to the murder of Harry Borden. For the black pigeon gave the . police a new angle to work on.
