RUSSIAN ORATOR NOW IN JAIL vitch spoke ous witnesses. When Consovitech eame to give eviâ€" dence in his own behalf, his lawyer had considerable trouble and had at last to suggest that he would drop the case unless a sensible and reasonable attitude was taken. . Consoviteh first refused to kiss the Bible. Then he baulked on other forms of oath and declaration.. In answer to questions as to his religious beliefs he said :â€" "My God rot in Heaven, but in my lieart. T got belief in no Hell, but here. T am in Hell now all right,‘‘ At first he would not hold up his hand to affirm, saying he would tell the truth with his tongue not his hand. At last the lawyer prevailed on him to take the form. Consoviteh said the meeting at the Finn Hall was in meimâ€" ory of the Russian Revolution, and the black badges were in honor,of those who had fallen. He claimed the yellow press was deceiving the people about the Russian Revolution ; the peo ple having goetten rid of the Czar were not going ufider the Kaiser. He alâ€" {Meged that in calling Kings ‘*hloodâ€" Asuckers"‘ and getting â€"behind â€" them q with guns, ete., he had not meant the British King particularly, In advoâ€" revolution, he would leave it lto the British people to decide. . He ;A said his remark to the Chief had been : l the British people see the betâ€" > |terness of Russia, let them do what is I{best.‘‘ He also explained more or â€" Mess clearly that by«revolution he had t\ meant the people taking the power inâ€" s L to their own hands, but he did not.adâ€" WHL F4\ i |vocate force. _ He was (in is eyiâ€" 1| denee} all for education and enligltâ€" In answer to Magistrate Atâ€" e t kinson he said he did not belong to the x |TMW.W. ‘‘Did you want the meeting understand that the King of Great t | Britain was in a conspiracy about this var?* the Magistrate asked. ‘Nell‘! o | replied Consovitch, ‘‘they are all reâ€" 1| lated and_not enemy to each other 1 re "He also told of reading a s |elipping saying that the British Royal )â€"|\ Family was, helping Go+rmany. aâ€"| ~Consoviteh‘s lawyer, in defense, is said that resumes of a speech taking eâ€"lan hour to deliver could not be too ie much relied upon. : Also he sucgested Dcpartmcn! of F+ nance. \lln-“ e think."‘" "â€"Ho a clipping saying Family was. he much u. that there wel sions eiven hy Consoviteli‘s lawyer, in defense,| :aid that resumes of a speech taking in hour to deliver could nof bhe. too mnuch relied upon. â€" Also he sucggzested that there were differences in, the verâ€" sions given by Chief Clark and Officer Allen. â€" Ho also dwelt on the fact that to sdvocate revolution was.not necesâ€" savrily geditious. _A revolution could be avmmphahed by ballot, for instance Consoviteh had not â€" advocated doâ€" tlronement of kings by arims, : but through the power of du(-mun' and union of penple As for the kings being put in the. trenches, it was a common opinion that _ all. manhood e Form T3. .« Full particulars as well as details of amounts 31st March (Continued from page 1) corrovorating organized, shall pay th3: ulars ofâ€" income.
