Counsel Contends
Carper and Turner
Can't Get Fair Trials

Suspended Police 1t. H. H.
Carper, his erstwhile aide, Sergt.
William L. Taylor. and Randolph
(CatfiSh) Turner, convicted dope
ring head, cannot now get a
fair trial anywhere in the
country" Attorney Myron Ehr-
Itch declared yesterday.
Mr.. Ehrlich made the state
ment in a plea before Federal
Judge Richmond B. Keech in the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict Of Columbia.
The attorney asked an indefi-
mite continuance of the trials
OF all three on the ground of
widespread adverse publicity
The trial date in all three cases
has been set for May 26.
All are charged with conspiracy
To violate narcotics laws and
bribery. One indictment names
as defendants Carper and Taylor
a second names Carper alone and
a third names Calper and
Turner.
Mr.. Ehrlich and Defense At
torney Joseph Sitnick also asked
dismissal of the indictments on
the grounds that the three-year
statute of limitations had run
out.
The motions were opposed by
Prosecutors Frederick G. Smith
son and E. Riley Casey Mr..
Smithson said the ultimate way
to determine whether publicity
has prejudiced the case against
the defendants is the questioning
of prospective jurors.
The motions were taken under
advisement by Judge Keech.
