Ex naval officer John S. Farnsworth expects to base his defense on the claim that Annapolis classmates and Navy Department intimates were aware of his negotiations with Japanese and Chinese agents. Lane, a prominent attorney, visited Farnsworth in jail and advised him not to talk until grand jury appearances. Farnsworth says friends joked about deals and that any material given to Japan could be found in public libraries. Bond potential from his father noted.
