The United States Court of
Military Appeals yesterday threw
out the larceny conviction of a
Kansas sailor on the ground that
the senior naval officer at
Kodiak, Alaska, sought to load
the court-martial panel against
the defendant.
By 80 vote. the serviceman's
supreme court dismissed three
month prison sentence imposed
on Seaman Spencer w. Whitley,
26. a native of Randall, Kans.,
who was convicted by a Navy
court-martial at Kodiak last
July.
Judge George w. Latimer said
the presiding officer of the court
martial was ordered replaced
after he upheld a defense motion
dealing with the presentation of
testimony.
Judge Latimer wrote:
That act of replacing him
could not help but leave its i'm
print on those who ha dto decide
the ultimate guilt or innocence
of this accused.
Having witnessed the remov-
al of the president. those who
were to weigh the facts and, as
it turned out. impose the penalty
were left with an overweighted
choice.
so far as this record shows
they were presented with the
alternative of ruling with the
Government or risking the ire
of the person present who had
a pipeline to the convening au-
thority
1T would seem to go without
saying that when their COM
mander stepped out of character
and Joined the side of the prose-
cution, they were faced with il
legal interference
