THE CONSPIRACY CASE AT SEOUL.
SPEECH BY CHIEF PUBLIC PROCURATOR.
We take the following report from the Seoul Pres (1 Japanese paper)}---
The public hearing of the Conspiracy Case was resumed yesterday morning at about 9 at the Seoul Local Court, As will be remembered, it was suspended for about a month on account of Counsels for the defence having moved refusal of the Judges concerned on the ground that in their opinion the Judges were pre- judiced against the accused. Their motion, however, was overruled and yon- terday the Court resumed sitting presid ed over by Judge Tsukabara as before.
In spite of the hot season the accused have had to pass in prison, all of them looked in the best of health: Espreially noteworthy was it that Baron Yun Chihe looked very well. The Court was crowd- ed as before and the press was very well represented. Among the audience there were Major-General "Akashi and several other officials and many American mis- sionaries.
The proceedings of the day were opened by questions put by the Presiding Judges to several prisoners and answers given by them as to the correct Chinese charte- ters representing their names as well as their surnames, Subsequently An Tai- kak and about ten other prisonere were allowed to speak in their defence.
All
of them alleged an alibi and asked the

OLLY This took about two hour, and the prisoners in their eagerness to speak tried to speak even befüre the Court in- terpreter had finished translating what had previously been said, compelling the -Court to order them occasionally to be silent and wait their turn. When all bad spoken, Mr. Sakai, Public Procura- -tor, ruse and in a brief speech asked the Court to reject their applications for summoning witnesses as being uneces sary. The Presiding Judge endorsed his view and the prisoners' applications were all sunumarily rejected.
Mr. Matsudera, Chief, Public Procura- ter, then rose and made a speech against the prisoners, contending that, the accusa tion laid against them was valid and their denial in open Court was unworthy of trust. Mr. Matsiders said that only one prisoner, Kim chun, admitted in open Court the charge against him, but all the rest of the prisoners retracted the confessions they had made before the Police and at the preliminary examina tions. Such denial by prisoners in open Court IST19 not rathering; This was especially the ease with Korea prison ers. In Mr. Matsudera's opinion, Korean prisoners generally seemed to think that denial in open Court would extricate them from charges laid against thing, Bërides, Koreans were very fond

Mr. Matsudorn thus summed up the case against all the naused.

But the Attorney- General has found that there are a great number of claims in commercial cases to which there is virtually no defence, and in these the neccesity for bringing a second action in a distant place consti' u- tes a great hardship, and dors much to prevent business.
It is therefore thought desirable in the general interests of commercial morality within the Empire that an endeavour should be made to arrange for the en- forcement in each part of the Empire of awards given in commercial-arbitrations in other parts, The exact proposal is that when two parties agree to refer some commercial matter to arbitration

That explained the accused. He commenced by saying the reason why the accused in the present that the Court had thoroughly and care case denied the charges brought against fully investigated the case and the coun then in open Court. Mr. Matsudorasel for the defence had taken pains to thought that, if individually examined, protect the rights of the accused. The most of the accused would admit the prisoners ought to be thankful for all this charges. The pleas given by the accused was a cause of regret that some of the setting forth their innocence of the crime Prisoners had adopted instead a defiant inquion were Camerally very weak spoken glaring Falsehoods, Mr. Saked thought that nobody would doubs that s conspiracy of the gravest nature existed He then proceeded to give a detailed resumé of the history of the plot and refuted some evidence produced in fav our of the prisoners. His speech, which lasted for full three hours, was the same in substance as the Public Procurator's indictment already published and only differed from it in that it dealt with this case in a very minute way.

It seemed to the Chief Public Procurator that in giving pleas in their favour prisoners usually followed the ex- amples of those examined before them. For instance, if one of them said at the beginning of a day's trial that he was clacwhere than the place where the crime was to be cotomitted on account of some religious rite, the rest of the prisoners examined that day would say similar things.
When Mr. Sakai had finished his speech, Mr. Matsudera, Chief Public Procurator, rose and asked the Court to mete out punishment to the accused in accordance with the Law, but wished that the Court would take into consid As to the allegation that the accused eration exonerating circumstances in made false depositions before the police their favour in passing sentence upon under torture and continued to stick to them.

It is also pro posed that an award similarly obtained and confirmed by an order of judges in any Dominion should be enforceable With the object of ascertaining the existing legislation and practice on the subject the Colonial Office and the Foreign Office have, at the request of the Board of Trade, obtained reports from the Governors of the Dominions and from His Majesty's Embassies and Legatjons in foreign countries. These reports show that considerable diversity of legislation and practice exists in both cases.
