Failed to Produce Proof of Inno

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. Smith, tho solicitor
general. Tho enso affects the disposal of
the cargoes of the Norwegian steam
hhips Alfred Nobel, Kim and Hjointil-jeiiie-Ujorusen,
nnd the Swedish
steamer Ftidland, coiiHisting of farm
produce, ment fiom the great Amori
cau packing houses nnd Inrd which
havo boon detained by tho Hritish
government.
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.
