COUNSEL ADDRESSES JURY (Continued From Page One.) contradictory. Witnesses always vary a little, according to their view, and it was notable that the Crown witnesses did differ in small particulars, which pointe: to the truth of their statements. There was nothing to show that there was any premeditation on the part of the Japs. The Crown had failed to show that there was any lull in the fighting, during which the Japs made up their minds to attack with knives. White men treated as the Japs were would have grabbed guns, and the Japs, naturally, grabbed knives in protection. If there was coneerted action, both men were guilty. He submitted that there was no such action. He claimed that Angus showed clearly that Nagano had a knife, and other witnesses bore this out. Pierce, Wesley and Ratchford all saw Nagano drive a knife towards Pit- man on the platform. There was no blood on Ohara’s” sweater, while Nagano’s clothes were cov- ered with blood. W. E. Fisher, for the Crown, claimed that Ohara’s evidence corroborated the evidence of the Crown witnesses, Angus said he saw the blow which struck Pit- man and immediately got mixed up with Nagano, and this would account for Angus stating that Pitman was struck at the foot of the steps. He held that the evi- dence of Ratchford and Pierce was very strong, as they were not taking part in the fight. They clearly showed that Nagano turn- ed round, drove his knife and im- mediately they noticed blood on his clothing. He sought to show that there vas a lull inside the cafe after which the japs attacked with knives.- Nagano and Ohara made for the back window, stayed there for some little time and then changed their minds. Both men were angry. Nagano admitted that he would have struck Angus with his cleaver. Angus was the last man to get out of the cafe, and therefore saw exactly what happened. He dwelt upon the inconsist- encies in Mrs, Kameda's evidence, She was quite close to Kimura at the back door and yet did not see Kimura. He claimed that the Jap evidence was manufactured. He described Nagano’s cleaver as a protection as farcical. using of a He could have got behind the meat block, which would have been much more effective. He held that it was proved that Na- sano had a knife. His Lordship, in summing up, dwelt on the difference between manslaughter and murder, and asked the jury to seriously con- sider as to whether the Japs were provoked.
