Ant Wilson had asked a further delay of bIx months. "This appeal coming on the eve of trial comes'too late." declared Judge Bean. "Tho fact that the defendant Is without money Is no ground for postponing a criminal trial.

Judge nean slated that the rase had already been postponed sever al times upon the request ot the defendant, and that "there Is no assurance he will be any more ready for trial at the end of six months than he is today."

In replying Assistant United Stales Attorney Joseph Stearns declared: "The govVmment has. shown the defendant every con sideration. Hut I have on most excellent authority that Mr. Wil son openly boasted on the streets of his home In Koseburg that this case would never come to trial. I have been Informed that during the time he was supposed to be traveling about getting his wit nesses and trying to sell his prop, ertv, he was play'ng cards in the club In Koseburg."
