George SOcCnne, of Presbyterian Mission, Was Not ArreFted. SEOUL, Korea, Aug. 26. At the re sumption today of the trial of 123 Koreans, charged with conspiring against the Japanese, government and with plotting to kill' Count Terauchi, the Governor-General of Korea, Jap anese and Korean counsel opened, the case for the defense and pleaded with the court to show leniency to the ac cused. The prosecution was concluded Sat urday with the demand of the crown prosecutor that' Baron Yunchiho and five other alleged leathers of the con spiracy be sentenced to ten years' im prisonment and that each of the other 117 prisoners be sentenced to a term ranging, from five to eight' years. Ogaiva'a Plea Eloquent. ;ur. ugawa, in nis ieiense or Baron Tunchlho, an ex-Cabinet Minister, of Sin Mln Hoi, a secret Korean society, made an eloquent plea for his client. He asserted that the Sin Mln Hoi ex isted prior to the Japanese treaties or protection and annexation, and de clared that the organization had for its purpose the industrial development or Korea. He said that while the so ciety was political it did 'not counten ance violence. The lawyer said the assassination of Prince Hlrobumo Ito. former Japanese Resident General in Korea, at Harbin, in October, 1909, and the murder at San Francisco in March, 1908, of Dur ham White Stevens, one time diplo matic adviser to the Korean govern ment and subsequently adviser to the Japanese embassy in the United States, and the attempt on the life of Yi Wang YongI Korean Premier at the fime of the abdication of the Emperor, in De cember, 1909, were the acts of a wicked element. YnncblboV Guilt Denied. Counsel said- Baron Yunchiho was not the instigator of the plot against the life of Count Terauchi, such deeds being contrary to the character of the Sin Min Hoi's leader, andhe pointed' out that the conspiracy showed its in stigators were ignorant of world progress. Ogawa asserted .that other persons implicated in the conspiracy had not been arrested. They included, he told the'eourt, the Rev. George S. McCune, head , of the Presbyterian Mission School at Syen-Chiyun, and several other foreigners. In conclusion Ogawa said the evidence against Baron Yun chiho was not sufficient to warrant conviction. Miyake, also for the de fense, pleaded for sympathy and leniency for the accused. Campaign Contributions ot Archbold and Perkins and' Their Corre- ' spondence With Roosevelt . to Be Investigated.
