Judge Charles White overruled a motion by Frank 1’. Walsh, chief counsel for Foster, that the court di rect the Jury to return a verdict of acquittal, and ordered the trial to pro ceed. Mi. Walsh submitted 30 reasons why the defense maintained that no case had been proven against Foster by the state. I-ie also cited court de cisions in Michigan and Kansas cases to sustain his position, but Judge White held there was no similarity between the legal literature cited and the present trial. The court also held that he could not pass on the constitutionality of tlio Michigan law against syndicalism, but that for the purpose of this trial, he would declare it constitutional. Mr, Walsh made his motion immedi ately after the state rested. As its final evidence, the prose, ution read , to the jury a number of selections from the "thesis and resolutions” of the Moscow Internationale dealing with direct action, mass action, con ditions in this country and an attack on th" American Legion.
