‘Trial of Alleged Foreign Recraitiag Agente ‘The trial of Count Lous Kezinski, Hago Lipi, 'd Radelius, and A.

The jary were thea aworn. Mr. Helle't, in opening the case remarked, that the present was a novel casein the courts of the United Sates, snd then proceeded to defive the nature and design of the law which the prisoners are charged with violating. That law is the nea- trality law, which is desig ced to ca:ry out tie settled policy of the United states, and also sne stipaladions ot the treaties with toreign governmen‘a, by which the United States are pledard to acrics impsriatity towards tcreign powers who may be engaged ia warfare He etated that the goverrment would base its action upon that section of toe neutrality law which prohibits the hiring or retaining of pe:sous to go beyond the jurindiction ct the nited Beaten With the int-nt of snere enliat agt em in the servise of a@ foreign prince. If this could be proved agsinst the ners, then a case would bs made Out against As to tne word “‘intent” in toe statute, if it could be shown that the prisonars evidently hed that intent, acd made their srrange- ments a:cordingly, it would be sufficient, wi:hout showing that tuere was suc: an “intent” on the part oft the persons enlisted py them. He then recapitalatea the evijence by which it Would be proved that the prisoners nad violatei tae Deatrality law, narrating the manner ia which they bad inveigled aome twenty-2ne men, mostly labor 18, on board of the British brig Baffslo, at New ‘York, on the pretence of going to Galifaxto work a ® ratzosd or # farm, which was no batter than kidnapping. For such acts as this, if allowed to pass unre- buked, the United States will be liable to oe culied ‘toan account by any power wicn may takeumbrage thereat, ard may be brought into collisioa with foreign States. Mr. Halistt then proceeded to call the witnesses for the government. ‘Capt.
