APPEAL OF "RIOTERS" WILL BE HEARD AFTER RECESS

Following a month of delays and postponements the appeal of the ten Harvard students convicted in the Harvard Square "riot" will be heard in the East Cambridge Superior Court immediately after the spring vacation. The exact day has not yet been set, but Stoughton Bell '98, counsel for the defense, announced yesterday after a conference with R. T. Rushnell '14, prosecuting attorney; that the first part of the week of April 24 would see the opening of the trial.

The appeal which was first arranged for March 21, has already been put off twice because of the trial of McLaughlin, who was condemned two weeks ago as one of the carbarn bandits. Although the court is now ready to take up the "riot" case, a further delay is occasioned by the Harvard recess which will absent most of the witnesses from Cambridge.

All the defense witnesses and defendants in the case were summoned to a closed meeting in University Hall yesterday afternoon at which the University authorities connected with the case and the legal counsel for the students were present.
