Hearing Slated Today
On Meyers Petition

A hearing was to be held this
afternoon before Federal Judge
Albert v. Bryan at Alexandria on
petition of former Maj. Gen. Ben
nett E. Meyers for release from
Lorton Reformatory where he is
serving a term for subornation Of
perjury.
The wartime Air Force pro-
curement officer seeks release on
a habeas corpus plea. His at
torneys contend q quorum was
lacking at the Senate committee
hearings that resulted in Meyers
indictment and conviction.
The petition cites Supreme
Court decision last month which
reversed the perjury conviction OF
Harold A. Christoffel former
president of a CIO United Auto
Workers local in Milwaukee, be-
cause the prosecution had failed
to establish that a majority Of the
House Labor Committee was pres
ent when Christoffel allegedly
lied about his former Communist
connections.
Meyers was convicted in District
Court in March, 1948, and was
sentenced to serve 20 months to
five years. He was charged with
inducing his former associate
Bleriot H. Lamarre, to lie to the
Senate subcommittee about their
association in the Aviation Elec-
trical Corp. of Dayton, Ohio.

By the Associated Press


LEXINGTON. KY, July Is
Defense attorneys planned to ask
a new trial today for Edward r.
Prichard, jr., convicted of con-
spiracy to forge ballots in last No.
vember's presidential election in
Bourbon County.
A Federal Court jury yesterday
convicted Prichard, 34-year-old
former boy Wonder of the New
Deal" and Judge H. Church Ford
Immediately sentenced him to two
years imprisonment.
At the same time, the jury ac-
quilted A. E. Funk, jr.. q. Prichard
and Mr.. Funk, Lexington law
partners, we're co-defendants.
Prichard spent the night in the
Fayette County Jail after Judge
Ford refused to allow defense at
torneys to arrange bail. The
judge said a defendant was not
entitled to bail after sentencing.
but agreed to entertain further
motions, indicating he would hear
the motion this morning.
Counsel for Prichard said II
motion for a new trial is overruled.
they would carry the case to the
United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals.
Prichard is a former aide to top
governmental officials in WASH
ington, including Chief Justice
Fred M. Vinson when he was head
of various New Deal agencies, and
Justice Felix Frankfurter of tho
Supreme Court. He also was at.
torney for the Democratic Ma
tional Committee.
Mr.. Funk is a son of the Ken
lucky attorney general.
The jury returned its verdict
four hours after the case was sub
mitted.
Prichard and Mr.. Funk were in
dicted jointly on a charge of con.
spring to forge and cast 254 bal
lots in the presidential election IN
Bourbon County last November.
A key point in the prosecutions
case was that Of Circuit Judge
w. B. Ardery, whose son Phillip
had been Prichard's roommate at
Harvard and later his law partner.
Judge Ardery testified Prichard
admitted to him that he, with tive
other young men. forged and put
ballots into the boxes.
The case against Mr.. Funk
hinged largely on testimony by Q
prosecution handwriting expert
that the signature on many Of the
ballots was that of Mr.. Funk. A
defense handwriting expert pre-
sented testimony which COM
pletely differed.
