The defence seis up a general de- nial and questions the jurisdiction of the court on the grolinds that the de- fendant is an American citizen, hav- ing no domicile in this city. After hearing. the opening arguments the court adjourned to consider the point of jurisdiction. : Peary Served with Papers During Re- cent.
