Communist Trial

Andre Vishinsky waxed sar-
castle over the recent convic-
ton of the eleven communist
party leaders, all of whom
were given terms and fined.
He scoffed at the American
charges that human rights had
been violated in the recent
Balkans church trials and told
the United Nations Assembly
that United States policy of de
Tending the rights of man was
proved in the recent Peekskill
riots and actions of Federal
Judge Medina.
Mr.. Vishinsky said that the
Judge did not only convict the
defendants but passed Judge

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, May %.
Two prosecutors rolled on the
floor before the jury box today in
the murder trial Of DR.. Robert c.
Rutledge. jr.. in a dramatic
demonstration of the way they
say the young doctor killed By
ron C. Hattman.
The spellbound jurors leaned
over the railing and some OF them
stood up as County Attorney VIII
liam Crissman and Assistant
County Attorney David Elderkin
sought to show how Hattman was
killed.
In a climactic scene. as, the trial
neared its end. they sought TO
convince the jury that Hattman
could have been stabbed IN the
chest and still be found lying on
his face in his room at the Roose-
welt Hotel here last December IA.
The State had introduced
photographs showing that HIATT
man was lying face down with
his hands crossed IN the middle
of his back and his feet crossed.
Impersonates Victim.
Mr.. Crissman, imperSonating
Hattman, took one arm out Of the
sleeve of his coat as If he were
removing 1t.
He then explained that the
state contends this was the point
at which DR.. Rutledge knocked
Hattman down with a blow on the
head and Hattman fell to the
foor on his back.
Mr.. Crissman lay down on the

courtroom floor as though stunned.
Mr.. Elderkin, impersonating
Rutledge, bent over him. Using
a pencil to simulate q knife. Mr..
Elderkin pretended to stab HIATT
man" at the 45-degree angle at
which the fatal wound was In
f1icted.
Mr.. Elderkin then tossed the
pencil over his own right shoulder
and rolled Mr.. Crissman over on
his stomach.
During this rolling motion Mr..
Crissman's feet became caught
and his arms were close to his
body:
Resumes Prosecutors Role.
Mr.. Elderkin then took Mr..
Crissman's hands, pulled them to-
gether at the middle of the back
and held them there.
Mr.. Crissman then arose and
slipped back into the role Of pros
|ecutor.
He said:
"Hattman didn't have q chance
for his life. He was set upon from
ambush"
There was an added touch OF
drama during the re-enactment.
Mr.. Crissman's wife. who was
lin an anteroom. looked into the
court and saw Mr.. Elderkin bend
ing over her husband.
She rushed into court crying.
Get some water"
When she realized what really
was occurring. she withdrew and
burst into tears. She said she had
been told nothing Of the intended
demonstration.

CHIGWELl. England. May rs
Winston Churchill called on the
Conservative Party tonight to
mobilize for q possible general
election this autumn.
This is g fatefal year for this
island" ne said al an opens
political rally here. The Consegy-
ative Party leader said recent local
elections have proved the grow
ing distaSte OF the masses OF the
people for the record Of our So
ciaiist masters"
Before IL months Is out. we
shall have another general cleo
ton" Mr.. Churchill said. Per
haps it may be an autumn election
Il can't tell YOU, but ii may well
be. That is wrapped In mystery
and We may be sure those 10 whom
We are opposed will not throw away
any pawn In the game as they
play it which may enable them TO
gain some advantage.
We must be ready for an au-
tumn election If it comes, we
must be mobilized.''
Britain's ruling Labor Party is
empowered TO call a general cleo
ton at any time Normally. gen.
eral elections are held every five
years. but there is no set time for
the balloting.
The last general election was
held in l945. when the Labor Party
swept into power. The Conserva-
tives made substantial gains In the
election OF big city. borough. dis
trict and rural governments in
England, Wales and Scotland
earlier this month.

continued, the vote was II for
second-degree murder and one for
first degree.
Mr.. Farmer said one ballot was
taken before the jury went to
dinner and three after they re-
turned. ---
Second degree murder under
Iowa law is murder without pre-
meditation.
The defense and State were in
dramatic contrast in their final
pleas.
Walter ]. Barngrover of de-
fense counsel. said:
"Dr. Rutledge fought to save
his own life and in defense Of the
sanctity of his home. A verdict
of guilty would make womanhood
the bare and open prey of the
man who would rather invade
another's home in usefulness and
deceit than establish and main
tain one of his own. Set this
fine young man free.
Say to this young man. take
up the threads of your life where
you left them off before this per-
fidious individual invaded the
sanctity of your home" he told
the jury.
Calls Rutledge Aggress0r.
County Attorney Crissman said:
"Dr. Rutledge was the aggres-
sor. All the evidence shows he
wantonly murdered Byron c. Hat
man with malice aforethought. A
killing because Of revenge is MUIR
der and it's nothing else. What
ever relationships there were be-
tween Hattman and Mrs. Rut-
ledge could not justify the de-
fendant here in killing Byron
Hattman."
Before he closed, Mr.. CriSsman
and Assistant Prosecutor David
Elderkin held the jurors SPELL
bound as they rolled on the floor
in q vivid demonstration of the
way In which they claimed Rut-
ledge drove a knife into Hattman's
heart. Hattman's elderly parents
wept during the scene.
Mr.. Crissman then arose and
said:
Byron Hattman didn't have a
chance. He was slain from am
BUSH"
Defendant Is Attacked.
Then he told the jurors to re-
turn a finding of ''first-degree
murder" He said he left it to
them to choose between death by
hanging or life in prison. but he
added.
IF there ever was a deliberate,
sadistic killing without justin
cation the killing of Byron C.
Hattman by Robert c. Rutlcdse,
jr, was such killing as deserves
the death penalty"
The prosecutor said DR.. Rut-
ledge told two stories Of the fatal
flght-one in q hospital after
his arrest December II and an
other on the witness stand.
II submit p you that neither
story is true" Mr.. Crissman said.

Is, said the verdict was reached
on the fourth ballot.
The State had asked for a ver-
dict of f1rst-degree murder and
made clear it believed the hand
some young doctor should hang.
'Dr. Rutledge lay in wait for
Hattman and killed him wantonly
from motives of Jealousy, revenge
and robbery" County Attorney
William Crissman had told the
jury in giving the States version
of the Cedar Rapids hotel room
fight last December IA which left
Hattman dead with a stab wound
in the heart.
Defense Demands Freedom.
The defense had demanded COM
plete and immediate freedom Tor
the defendant. DIR. Rutledge was
lighting in self-defense to pro-
tect the sanctity Of his home, !"
the defense asserted in contending
that Hattman's alleged seduction
of the doctors wife last July 81
started this whole tragic chain
of events"
Mrs. Rutledge had testified that
Hattman, her co-worker at the
Emerson Electric plant in st.
Louis, took her sailing, got her
drunk, and was "forcibly inti-
mate" with her while she was too
i'll to resist. =
One of the jurors-Emmet j.
Neenan-said the jury believed
the young wife's testimony but
he added:
"The seduction was no reason
to kill a man. 1t might have been
during the first three days after
DR.. Rutledge found out about the
incident but he waited too long. y
Face Shows Strain.
The young doctors face was
strained with emotion as he left
the courtroom to a reception OF
photographers flashbulbs.
The courtroom was filled when
the verdict was returned. Resi-
dents of Cedar Rapids assembled
quickly at the courthouse on hear
ing radio newscasts that the jury
had reached a decision at 1927
pm.
When the verdict was read. DR..
Rutledge sat alone at the side OF
Sheriff j. l.. Smith. Absent from
the courtroom were his wife. his
father and stepmother. MIR. ana
Mrs. Robert c. Rutledge, ST.. OF
Houston, Tex. and his parents
in-law, DR.. and Mrs. Howard B.
Goodrich. of Hannibal. Mo.
They had been present for most
of the trial, which began May 2.
Mr.. Farmer said the jury took
the first ballot in 20 minutes. One
Juror was for a verdict of first-de-
gree murder, four were for man
slaughter, and seven for second
degree murder.
On the second ballot seven IA
vored a verdict of second degree
murder, two first degree murder.
and three manslaughter.
! On the third ballot, Mr.. Farmer
