viction OF Freeman. Morton and Haw-
thorne and the acqgittal Of Josiah

Freeman, the most important defend

Morton and Hawthorne elected to serve
their terms OF a yea each in Atlanta

Rogers says. There have wen been
cases in English courts requiring more
than one Judge. he says. where the abb
sence OF one Judge at the reading OF
the verdict ilval!dAted the finding OF the
jury.
In the Freeman case. Judge Rogers
says, Judge Hough heard all the wit
nesses for the prosecution n Judge
Mayer all she witnesses for the de-
fence. Consequently Judge Mayer, not
having seen the los Government wit
nesses on the staSd. missed what Prof.
Wigmore styled the elusive and un-
communicable evide-ce" cleaned from
the appearance Of the witnesses or the
stand. Tie presence OF 6 witness,
Judge Rogers says is sometimes as i'm
portant as his verbal testimony.
Freeman's attempt to have the vsr-
diet OF The District Court reversed was
fraught with a number OF intricate tech
nical!ties which almos resulted in the
defeat OF his efforts. His attorneys first
asked Judge Mayer to Set aside the YER
diet, which the latter did. on tae ground
that the trial jury Included one man
who had also sat on a Grand jury
which handed n phase OF the Hsw-
thorne case. The defence also tried to
SHOW that the Government had coerced
witnesses. but the court threw out these
allegations.
Next the United States Supreme Court
declared that; Judge Maye. had no right

ton was made after the term OF court in
