Court Martial Agrees to Allow

. Bryant Is Witness.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. (A. P.)
After another long wrangle be
tween counsel, the court martial try-'
ing Colonel William Mitchell today
authorized the 'defense to proceed
with Its plan of bringing Into evi
dence virtually all phases of the nlr
controversy. ' The flow of defense
testimony was Interrupted only long
enough to permit the court to. hear
both side and to retire for a brief
consultation behind closed doors.
The new subpoenas were issued for
30 In an effort to prove the accusa
tions against conduct of the govern
ment air services whlmch led to his
trial. ' .;
The court', acting for Its law mem
ber. Colonel. Blanton Wlnshlp, asked
the defense .counsel his reason for
calling so muny witnesses from dis
tant places. - .'
"We want .these witnesses to -prove
the truth of what Colonel
Mitchell, has said about .the na
tional defense," replied Repre
sentative Frank it. Held, Mit
chell's nttorney.
Colonel Wlnshlp asked If It were
not an appropriate time to decide
whether the evidence wus being of
fered in "extenuation, mitigation, or
for defense of the accused."
"For the defense to prove the
truth," "Mr. Reld answered. .
Colonel Moreland in charge of the
prosecution, said it was his conten
tion that the evidence was admissuble
only in extenuation or mitigation,
"nnd not as a defense." '
, "If the prosecution of the court
refuses to summon the witnesses we
need," replied Mr. Held, "we w'lll
bring them here ut - our own . ex
pense." . -
The court : retired to Its private
chambers and decided quickly to is
sue the subpoenas. , Those summon
ed had i been named in a list sub
mitted hy Mitchell several days ago.
The first witness questioned was
Mujor Urant, an air service oCficer,
now uttached to the supply und con
struction branch of the general staff.
Asked by Mr. Held if he was quali
fied by experience foj duty in the
construction branch, be replied neg
atively, adding that he had been ac
tive In flying work.
Major Brant said he was sent to
Huwnll during the recent Joint army

dent that no attacking forces could
