ing charges of political trial" to
be made by defense counsel.

claimed Claude Thompson. a de-

In Vigilante Bulletin.
The Dewey document was in one
of the American Vigilante bulletins
assertedly circulated by Robert E.
Edmondson, defendant.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey was de-
scribed as the youthful district at

pounding for order, overruled all
objections to the reading of the
exhibit.
The document was one of nearly
100 which Justice Eicher admitted
in evidence after considering over
the week end defense motions to
suppress them on the ground that
they were seized illegally by Fed
eral agents in a raid on national
headquarters of the German -Ameri-
can Bund.
Just before the ruling, Mr.. Rogge
took notice of the publication in
Sundays newspapers of extracts
from transcript of a secret hear

the application of Defendant Ed

of his bond. The transcript ~as
placed before the Court of Appeals
