Jodh Singh's refusal to testify brought a burst of cheers and jl chat ter of native Hindustani from the Hindu defendants in the case. It was several minutes before bailiffs re stored order. Judge Van Fleet de ;nftijt'ed what the Hindus had snouted. "'You are our brother,' was what we said," replied one of the men in English. Witnessade Defendant.

'Jodh Singh would chronicle, Isaid Preston, a trip he had made in the interests of the alleged conspiracy from Rio Janeiro to Berlin, New York, Chicago and San Francisco. Preston said the witness .would tell of the operations of the alleged Berlin-India committee, and of his close association with German consular of ficers in the cities he had visited. He 'fcould also relate, according to Attor ney Frcston, several pecuniary trans actions in which he had received money from these German officials. Jodh Singh was called to the stand and he refused to be sworn. He took an oath of affirmation. Turning to the judge, he said: . "Before we proceed further, I have some notes to submit, and if these are answered to my satisfaction, I , shall testify. He gave Judge Van Fleet this list of questions: Is This a Free Country? "Is this a free country? Shall I be allowed to stay here? Am 1 allowed the right to have an attorney? Will my countrymen 'be permitted to heart my testimony .? Judge Van Fleet answered-that this was a free country; that Jodh Singh's iesence in this country rested with the government, and that he would be allowed an attorney. The answers failed to satisfy Jodh Singh and he said: "WelU I refuse to testify." Preston asked that Jodh Singh be arraigned on the charge of conspiracy.
