had admitted that he had agreed
with Khakim to shoot Moyne if
it became necessary.
Not Allowed to Speak
Before adjourning the proceed-
ings, the president asked the ac-
cused whether they had anything
to say. Khakim said that he
wished to explain why he had
deserted from the British Army,
since his reasons were similar to
those motivating the murder. He
was not allowed 'to speak by the
judge.
Ben Zuri stated that he dis-
agreed with some of the state-
ments of the defense attorneys
regarding politics, but on the
whole the defense was "brilliant,
and even better than what I had
expected." He publicly thanked
his lawyers.
