Christie was the first key witness called by the crown in its attempt to send the playboy husband of Sir Har y's 19-year-old daughter, Nancy, to the gallows. After finishing his direct testimony, Christie was cross-examined for three hours

In his direct testimony, Christie explained his activities of the day before the American-born baronet Was m i, and how he found Sir Harry's body in the burned bed the next morning. Several times he was not sure of himself and had difficulty remembering his movements. At one point, Higgs confronted him with a statement by Police Capt. Edward Sears that he saw Christie in downtown Nassau at midnight, the night of the murder. But, the plumpish realtor, his face livid, heatedly denied the assertion and said Sears was “seriously mistaken.” . During the cross-examination, De Marigny showed little emotion.

Gripsholm to Leave Tomorrow After Transfer With
Japanese. By JOHN R. MORRIS, United Press Staff Correspondent MORMUGAO, Portuguese India, Oct. 20.—The exchange of 1503
an equal number of Japanese who had been interned in the United States after Pearl Harbor nearly was completed today, clearing the
+ |way for the scheduled departure of
the repatriation steamers tomorrow. . The 1203 Americans and 300 Canadians and Latin-Americans switched from the Japanese liner Tels Maru to the Swedish exchange ship Gripsholm yesterday with a noisy demonstration that contrasted with the stiff ceremony of the Japanese who took their places on the, Telia Maru. The leader of the Japanese group marched up the gangway of the Tela Maru carrying a painting of Emperor Hirohito and the empress. The ship's officers and nurses were
bowed from the waist as the pictures passed beneath the Rising
gangway. Japs Are Silent Most of the Japanese were silent and serious throughout the transfer. : The allied group, with the ex-ception-of a few stretcher cases, was off the Teia Maru shortly after 9 a. m., and boarded the Gripsholm
the liner’s screw, A bronzed repartriate from Green Bay, Wis., stood at the foot of the Tela Maru's gangway hurrying the exodus along, carrying children and women's luggage, and warning everyone to have their identity cards in their hands when they went aboard the Swedish ship, The first words of the Americans as they left the Japanese liner ranged from “Hooray, we're free, thank God,” by a weary-looking middle-aged man to “faster, faster, let us off,” by a young priest.
