RODD TO GIVE EVIDENCE. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received December 5, 11.5 p.m.) LONDON, December 5. The hearing of the case against Hesketli Pearson has been resumed. Allen Lane said that Pearson told him lie had written the book from Sir Reunell Rodd’s diary with Rodd’s approval. The hearing was adjourned until next Saturday when it is expected Sir Renneil Rodd’s evidence will be taken. Pearson is charged with false pretences. His book, '‘The Whispering Gallery” purported to give intimate descriptions of what transpired in the British Cabinet room in the early days of the war, and oontained quotations of alleged conversations between some of the more prominent personages. When the Press expressed doubts as to the veracity of the hook it was withdrawn from publication.
