the date of the trial, court will appoint a Japanese law- yer to defend them.
The buccaneers, who have been in Jail in Dairen for two months now, are still kept in seclusion. No word has been received from them and no word apparently has reached them.
Officials guarding the prisoners are understood to have refused all interviewers as well as gifts intend ed for the accused.
The pirates wore charged early this month with murder and rob- bory, piracy being included in the latter charge.
They
were arrested here on July 1 when the Chinese steamship Sheng An was run ashore and the discovery made that the vessel had been pirated and ten persons aboard It murdered.
