Now he listened carefully to the arguments of the prosecution and cut Colby short when he raised objections to their sophistry.
Finally Judge Wilton rose to state his decision.
"The evidence submitted in proof of the alleged fact that the prisoner is Jack Andrews, and that Jack Andrews may have robbed the Countess Ahmberg, of Vienna, of her valuable collection of pearls, is in the judgment of this court clear and convincing," he said.

"The lawyer for the defense has further succeeded in entangling his client by exhibiting an additional assortment of pearls, which may likewise be stolen property.
The attempt to impose upon this court a mythical island called Sangoa is--eh--distinctly reprehensible.

This court is not so easily hoodwinked.
Therefore, in consideration of the evidence advanced, I declare that the prisoner is Jack Andrews, otherwise Jackson Dowd Andrews, otherwise parading under the alias of 'A.

Jones,' and I recognize the claim of the Austrian police to his person, that he may be legally tried for his alleged crimes in the territory where it is alleged he committed them.
Therefore I order that the prisoner be held for requisition and turned over to the proper authorities when the papers arrive.

The court is adjourned.".
