Twenty - First Day's Proceedings THIRTY-FIRST DAY’S PROCEEDINGS         Mr. Norton after referring to several other exhibits referred to exhibit 295. It was a letter signed by Barindra Kumar Ghose to Arabinda and was written from Surat, "Bengal Camp, near Ajit’s." It runs thus :" We must have sweets all over India ready made for emergency." This letter proves that Arobinda and Barin were in closest terms and in political propaganda they were at one. There was sufficient evidence that during the Surat Conference Arobinda was there, and that there was a fierce attack by the extremists on the moderates. At that Conference Dr. Rash Behary Ghose was practically driven

-36_Seventeenth Day^s Proceedings.htm SEVENTEENTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS Mr. Das continuing his address said that when the Court rose on Thursday, he was dealing with the case of Abinash Chunder Bhattacharjee and was referring to the two books "Mukti Kon Pathe " and " The modern Art of War," which, according to the case for the prosecution, Abinash published. It would be more convenient if he gave their Lordships all the points there were in the evidence as regards the connection of Abinash with the Jugantar. That evidence began with the evidence of Purina Chunder Lahiri when he said that soon after the — Jugantar was started in June 1906, he went to make enquiries at 27, Kanai ball Dhur

Sixth Day's Proceedings SIXTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS        His Lordship resumed the further hearing of the reference in the Alipore Bomb Case. The Advocate General continuing his argument on behalf of the Crown narrated the overt acts. He began with the attempted bomb outrage at the house of the Mayor of Chundernagore. It was in evidence that in the first week of April three bombs were sent to Indra. It had been proved that the bombs that were thrown at the Mayor’s house contained sulphide of lead. The usual ingredient used in bomb-making was sulphide of antimony. There was nothing to show why this departure was made in this case. It was proved that the black powder

Twenty Nineth Day's Proceedings THIRTY-NINTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS        Mr. Norton continuing his argument on behalf of the Crown said that on Friday evening when the court rose he was dealing with the case of the two Sen brothers. Mr. Norton after reading the evidence of the search witnesses went on dealing with the exhibits, that were found in the house of the two appellants.      Counsel next dealt with the case against Susil. Exhibit 475 was Biren’s diary containing writings of Susil. " I am going to the lap of one, who is the mother of thirty crores of sons "was the expression written there by Susil.

-35_Sixteenth Day^s Proceedings.htm SIXTEENTH DAY'S PROCEEDINGS Mr. Das continuing his address said that when the Court rose on Wednesday he was placing the judgment with regard to Sishir Kumar Ghosh before their Lordships. Counsel read the portion of the judgment relating to Sishir and submitted, it would have been a very different judgment had not the Sessions Judge considered the judgment in the Jamalpur , case and had he not taken it as a fact that Sishir was connected with the Yugantar. Both these pieces of evidence, Counsel Page 254 submitted, were not evidence in the case. Where there was any evidence dealing with the case of the other persons, the Sessions Judge had

-53_Thirty Fourth Day^s Proceedings.htm THIRTY-FOURTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS Mr. Norton continuing his address on behalf of the Crown said that at the last sitting of the Court he was dealing with the case of Sudhir Kumar Sircar and was discussing the postcards and he would repeat his remark that they were scurrilous post cards. The case for the Crown had always been, and still was, that the postcards and the other letters did go from Khulna and were written by Sudhir. But should it be that it was not so, and should it be that these two letters were in the handwriting of say Nibaran, then Counsel submitted that that fact, if true, made the case against Sudhir infinitely worse. There could be no

-78_Reference-Nineth Day^s Proceedings.htm NINTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS. His Lordship `resumed the further hearing of the reference in the Alipore Bomb Case. The Advocate-General continuing his argument on behalf of the prosecution took up the case against Susil Chunder Sen who was convicted under section 121(A) of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to seven years’ transportation. The Advocate-General referred to the appellant’s connection with the centres of conspiracy, the garden and 134 Harrison Road. The black powder found in his house at Sylhet was the same as was used in making bombs and also found at the garden, 15, Gopi Mohan Dutt’s Lane, and at 134, Harrison Road. Susil’s brother Bir

-86_Reference-Seventeenth Day^s Proceedings.htm SEVENTEENTH DAY’S PROCEEDINGS His Lordship concluded the hearing of the reference in the Alipore Bomb appeal. Mr. B. Chakravarti in replying to the observation of the Advocate-General regretted that his learned friend had introduced into his address matters which had no basis in evidence on the record. Especially in a case of gravity and importance like the present one, it was unusual and improper for the Crown counsel to have done so. He should be sorry if it was the practice in England to introduce into an address for the prosecution matters which found no place on the record, but he must say from the little experience that he claimed o

-27_Eighth Day^s Proceedings.htm EIGHTH DAY'S PROCEEDINGS Their Lordships having taken their seats Mr. Das said :—My lords, before I proceed to deal with the case I beg to bring to your Lordships’ notice the fact that one of the appellants before Page 226 your Lordships died last night and that is Asoke Chandra Nandi. He was arrested at 134 Harrison Road and was tried in the High Court under the Arms Act for the fact that bombs were found at 134. He was subsequently acquitted of that charge and inspite of that acquittal proceedings against him under section 121 were continued before Mr. Birley. Further, inspite of the clear finding of Mr. Birley that the evidence did not establ
