PLEDGES NN IR IRS YEARS ON LAK EE Ay AICAN MEAT PACKERS British Prize Court Hears Arflumcnts on Meat Carflocs Seized on Scan dinavian Vessels Allcnc Pacakcrs Failed to Produce Proof of Inno cence Decision Is Reserved. LONDON, Aug. :i. Sir Samuel Kvnns president of the llrilish priro court, reserved judgment in the iiieal cargo cases when tlio hearing closed today with the conclusion of the Hum ming of tho cape Tor the crown by Sir Frederick, C.

Sir Frederick claimed thai the en tire cargoos should be condemned on the giound that they had been in tended for Oermany, that the claim ants hud failed to provo their inno cent destination, and ho also alleged fraud on the part of the American packors. Claim 1'iauil Practiced The solicitor-general" pointed out that it was only by nccident that tho Crown was enabled lo obtan a gleam of light through tho interception of telegrams which hail found their way into the hand of Hritish censors. Thoio had been a vast system of communication, he said, which hud not coiuo within reach of the censors, nnd ho asserted that the claimants had persistently refused to produce nuv documents. In conclusion the solicitor-general asked that the goods be condemned on tho ground that: Asks Condemnation First, there was sufficient ovidenco of a military or government destina tion; second, that fraud carried con demnation, and third that fraud shifted tho burden of proof to the packers, who bad failed to provo in nocent destination. If the eouit released' tho cargoes, tho solicitor-general asked that jio compensation for delay be allowed. Helativo lo goods consigned to others than agents for tho puckers, Sir Frederick Smith contended that tho claimants had not produced evi dence to show that ownership had passed to them nnd that therefore tho property was involved in condemna tion with othor properly of tho pnekers; "and that tho claimants wore involved in gcnnnil frauds or ganized by tho packers nnd that tho govornment could not bo epected lo fccparato tho good fiom tho bad." The court indicated that it would bo soiiio time befoie il had digested tho complicated case and Had reached a decision.
