Court Frees ProYoo
Because Of Delays
In Treason Trial
Nv ne A,,eciossd Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 15.-Jom
David Provoo. once convicted
and sentenced to life for war
time treason, was ordered freed
yesterday when a Federal judge
ruled deliberate" Government
delays rrejudiced his chances Of
a fair trial at this, time.
Judge Roszel C Thomson dis
missed the indictment charging
seven overt acts of treason while
Provoo was a prisoner OF the
Japanese after the fall of Cor
regidor in World War II and
granted the 37-year-old de-
PENDANTS petition for his free
dom.
An appeals court set aside the
1858 conviction last August. rul-
ing the Government had wrongly
tried Provoo in New York in
stead of Maryland and that the
judge had wrongfully admitted
certain testimony.
Second Trial RULED Out.
The decision yesterday auto
matically ruled out a second trial
on charges. Judge Thomson said
he woul dsign an order for Pro-
voo's release today.
Judge Thomson said Provoo
would be released on his own
recognizance pending the pos
sibility of an appeal by the Gov
eminent. No decision on whether
to make such an appeal-which
would be taken directly to the
Supreme Court-WaS expected
before tomorrow.
Provoo, one-time San Fran.
cisco bank clerk, wept when his
four court-appointed lawyers
told him of Judge Thomsen's de-
cision handed down in chambers
33-Page Opinion.
Judge Thomson, in a 33-page
opinion climaxing more than a
month of hearings and delibera-
tons, said he found Provoo
could not have a fair trial at
this late date"
He also found the former Army
sergeant had been denied the
right of speedy trial within the
meaning OF the 9th Amendment
and that the Governments de
liberate choice for a supposed
advantage" in trying him orig
inally in New York caused "op.
