The eight men. quiet suburban residents for the past tew years, faced a total of 169 indictments including armed robbery ajid conspiracy in the slick pirating of more than one million .. dollars Jan. 17, 1950. Chief defense counsel Paul T. Smith, colorful criminal lawyer, was expected to add new legal motions to an already massive pile. Security measures for the trial have no precedent in Massachusetts court history.. Extra police detail at a cost t»f SIO,OOO surrounded the courtroom area. Spectators were under constant surveillance through speakeasytype sliding panels built into the newly-constructed plywood walls that ringed the court. Smith has charged that FBI Chief J. Edgar Hoover's claim that the case was “solved” with the capture of the defendants early this year has prejudiced a fair trial. & Two thousand Suffolk county residents have been called as prospective jurors. About 100 will he called each day until a jury is se- 1 lected. Two of the men originally nam-1 ed in the indictments were not in the prisoners’ dock when Superior Judge Felix Forte opened the trial.

Cabled notifications were received by at least five American correspondents in Honk Kong and Tokyo. A French news agency dispatch from Peiping said 15 U.
