- Five of 11 defendants in a major abalone case were to have appeared in Ten Mile Court today. Instead, they showed up at the Ukiah Courthouse. The six who were to show in Ukiah on Monday apparently were prepared to show up at Ten Mile on July 2. The judges in Ukiah decided to start from scratch and take all 11 defendants to Ukiah where they will then be apportioned between Fort Bragg and Ukiah. They allegedly took 166 abalone in a five day period.
