THE SIEMENS-POOLEY CASE IN JAPAN.

THE CASE FOR MR. POOLEY

KISTORY OF FIFTY THOUSAND YEN TRANBAG

TION TOLD IN HIS COUNSEL'S BRIE.

On November 26th Mr. Pooley met with Mesara. Herrmann and Wilhelm at the Yokohama offices of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, and in the presence of the manager of the bank the documents were returned to the repre- sentatives of Siemens-Schuckert, To cover expenses incurred by Mr. Pooley and Router's Telegram Company, and also bush money to those concerned, Mr. Herrmann paid Y.25,000 On this occa sion, Mr. Herrmann paid another Y.25,000 to Mr. Pooley personally in appreciation of the goodwill shown and the efforte exerted by him in restoring the documents

The first bearing of the case of Siemens Schmuckerte. Pooley was summarily anspended on the 21st inst, after the Court had heard the plaintiff's allegation After Mr. Nakamura, counsel for Mr. and Mrs. Pooley, had asked the Court lots the firm. dismiss the suit with wste on the plaintiff, Judge Miyamoto interrogated Mr. Watanabe, counsel for plaintiff, according to the Japan Times, as follows:-

Did the plaintiff consent to give the money to the defendant la

Mr. Watanabe Yes, and we paid the defendant the money, and received the papers in return

Judge: What is the right that the

the right tha plaintiff claims to have been encroached by the defendant?

Mr. Watanabe: Light of property, The money belonged to the Company.

Judge: Where is the cheque paid to the defendant?

Mr. Watanabe ! At the Yokohama Specie Bank.

The statement concludes by pointing out that there was no blackmailing committed, and that Mr. Pooley only demanded that the Japanese naval authorities should replace dishonest officers by honest men The defendant also maintains that Mrs. Pooley has had nothing to do with the matter.

MAILS TO STRAITS AND FAR EAST.

At the last committee meeting of the Burma Chamber of Commerce there was considered a letter dated March 5th, 1914, Judge: How is it that Mrs. Pooley is from the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank- alleged to have encroached on the plaining Corporation, drawing attention to tiffe rights?

the erratic despatch of mails to Singa pore and the East, and inviting the committed to consider whether, in view of the fact that steamers connecting with Eastern maila at Penang or Singapore leave Rangoon at frequent intervals, something better than a weekly mail service could not be arranged; the Cham- her's letter, dated March 14th, 1914, to the l'eatmaster-General, Burma, on the subject, the reply, dated March 19th, 1914,

Mr. Watanabe: She disposed of the money, knowing that it was obtained by an illegal act of her husband. Her not constitutes an infringement of the plain tiff's right of property, according to Article 78 of the Civil Code.

Judge: That reason is poor. You must reconnder the question.

Mr. Watanabe I will do so by the next hearing.non merana lakukkasidah wakil kay Mr. Nakamura The plaintiff served provisional attachment on the defendant's bank account as soon as the case was filed: Both defendants have no movable on immovable property in Japan outside of the deposits. They are now finding it difficult to live, I request the Court to deliver judgment in this case to-day and dismiss the plaintiff's suit,

Judge: I will deliver judgment to-day. Counsel for the plaintiff was panic stricken at the unfavourable turn of affairs, and pleaded that the case being sub judice in the Criminal Court, the hearing be suspended till the preliminary examination was finished.

The Judge said there was no use of suspending the case.

from the Postmaster General, Burmestating that there have been occasions on which the time of sailing of steamers has been changed at so short notice as to make it impossible to notify such changes to the public, and that a representation has been addressed to the agents of the company on this subject; that as regards the despatch of mails to the Far East, the Rangoon railway mail service office has instructions to despatch letter muls for Penang and Singapore by private steamers owned by the Japan Mail: Steamship Company, the Chinese Steamship Company and the Eastern Shipping Company, in addition to the usual despatches made by the direct weekly and fortnightly (nie Moulmein) British India steamers; but, as those steamers do not adhere to any standard time-table, and as it is not certain whe- ther the mails despatched by them would arrive at their destination earlier than the For those despatched by contract steamers To this counsel for defendants objected director-general of posts and telegraphs. The Presiding Judge, after consulting ruled that only those letters which are the Associate Judge, decided to hold only clearly marked by the sonders for one more hearing, namely, on May 6th at despatch by any particular non-contract steamer should be forwarded by such The Court also accepted a copy of Mr. steamer, that information as to the time non-contract Nakamura's brief for the defence of departure of such summary of which we reproduce from the Japan Mail as follows:

Counsel for plaintiff pleaded that, as there were discrepancies in the statement of facts between the plaintiff and defen- dauts, it was necessary to refer to the proceedings in the Criminal Court to ascertain the facts. He therefore pleaded for the postponement of judgment, even for one hearing.

The defendant contends that the case arises out of political struggles here and that he was victimized, partly owing to misunderstanding of the public as to the real circumstances of the case. Accord ing to this statement, Cari Richter visited Mr. Pooley for the first time on November 3rd, 1013, and produced papers containing facts, which if published would disclose corruption in the Japanese navy. Three documents were offered, for sale to be used as material in Mr. Pooley's journalistic work. The defendant agreed to peruse the papers, and the same afternoon called apon Richter who was staying at the Hibiya Hotel. Mr. Pooley found that the papers contained useful information for his prass work, and as Richter asked him to buy, the defendant agreed to consult with Mr. G. Blundell, the then agent of Renter's Telegram Co. After consulta tion with Reuter's agent, it was decided that the papers might be purchased at a price not exceeding Y.760.

On November Eb Messis, Pooley and Blundell met Carl Richter at the Grand. Hotel Yokohama, and in the afternoon Richter received the money from Mr. Blundell at his office, The papers thus secured were sent to Shanghai, where they were to be prepared for publication. It was about this time that Mr. Mayeda, uf the German Embassy, called upon Messrs. Gondo and Uyeda, of the Nippon Dempo News Agency in whose building. Mr. Pooley had his offices, and asked them to endeavour to recover the papers from Mr. Pooley, Mr. Uyeda

On November 14th, Mr. Willed, of Messrs. Siemens-Schackert, called upon. the defendant and told him that the papers in his possession had bee i stolen by Richter. Mr. Pooley was enrprised and said that he was told by Richter that he had just returned froi Daireand. therefore Mr. Pooley did not know that Richter was an employee of diemers. Schuckerb in Tokyo- Mr. Pooley, how- ever, expressed his willingness to return the papers if they were really stolen goods But as the papers had already been sent to Shanghai. Mr. Pooley asked.

Mr. Wilhelm consulted Mr, Herrmann, who was glad that Mr. Pooley consented to restore the papers to the original owner, and agreed to take delivery of the documents from Mr. Pooley in some suit- able-manner. On November 15th. the parties concerned met at the Saiyoken Hotel and decided that the
