FLOOR The Morse case was delayed for one hour today while the lawyers on both sides conducted an animated discussion at Justice Stafford’s desk. The jurors were excluded from the courtroom. Spectators were not ad- {vised as to what was transpiring at the bench. The general impression 1s | that the question under consideration | related to the advisabllity of retaining the jury as constituted or declaring a mistrial: No announcement was made of a decision Jury Recalled. The jury was recalled and this was taken to indicate that Justice Stafford had determined to proceed with the trial. Attorney Nash Rockwood then jresumed his opening statement for the defense. Mr. Rockwood reviewed the four contracts which form the basis of the conspiracy indictment and inter- preted them from the viewpoint of the defense. He declared that in- jcompetency on the part of minor of- {fiials of ‘the Shipping Board had been responsible for most of the dif- ulties experienced by Morse and ates in carrying out the SEES THAT THE NEW NUMBER.
