reasonable as to be grounds
for reversal.
Bazelon Position
Judges Edgerton and Bazeion,
who had been among the four
dissenters in the earlier case,
parted company in today's rul-
ing. Judge Bazelon reiterated
his opposition and found to-
days case somewhat different
from the one decided last
January.
The central figure in the
current case was Eugene Eor-
ter. who had been sentenced
last year to serve three to nine |
years in the beating and rape |
of a 29-year-old woman in the |
District.
Porter was arraigned on De- |
cember 81. 1857. and trial was
set for February 10. 1858.
Unable to raise the fee for q |
$4,000 bond. he remained In |
Jail.
On the date of trial, his at
torney reported he was snow
bound" at home and the case
subsequently was set for March
IL.
But on that date, a Govern
ment witness was reported III |
and at the Governments
request another delay was
granted. The case was called
again on March 81 but was
postponed because judges were |
tied up in other cases.
Called again on April "a. the |
trial was put on because the
prosecutor was engaged in an
other trial.
The next date set was May / |
but another delay was granted
at the Governments request
because a doctor who was to |
testify had gone on leave. Por-
ter finally came to trial on
May 20.
Delays Cited
Citing delays at the request
of the Government, Judge
Bazelon said: II think the
Government had an affirmative
duty to protect appellants
right to q speedy trial, which
ii failed TO discharge"
At another point, Judge Ba-
zelon stated:

ment's neglect or defense

sumed to be not guilty before |

constitutional command for al
speedy trial and rules of law
ARE at least broad enough to
prevent wanton LIBERALIZATION

cence"
The alleged dereliction on the
part Of the counsel referred to
statements that he had refused
to make certain motions urged
by the defendant. including one
for a speedy trial.
