After analyzing all the evidence
produced on behalf of the prosecu-

was no legal evidence whatsoever
to sustain the charge of mutiny
and that the evidence in regard to
the refusal to obey an order was in
dispute and in grave doubt. The
brief pointed out many instances
of obvious preJudicial conduct bas-
ed on race or color by Lieut.. Com

Guided the testimony of all fifty
of the men, plus the testimony OF

although the record of the actual
trial of the case includes l,435
