Conviction in
Forgery Trial

Inc united states Court OF
Appeals ruled today that fail
ure Of a prosecutor to back up
statements he made during
trial did not prejudice the
rights of a defendant so as to
make q new trial necessary.
The court split 2-to-I in the
ruling, which affirmed the con-
vietion of Ralph H. Allen, O.
the $500 block of Fourteenth
street NV. on forgery chargeA
Allen had been sentenced to
serve one to three years.
In his opening statement at
the trial, the prosecutor as
serted that Allen. when ar
rested, had been told Of the
charges against him but that
he had refused to make any
statement to the police con-
corning them.
No Evidence Produced
But no evidence ever was
produced to back UP this aIlega-
ton.
A defense move for a mis-
trial on the ground that the
statement unfairly prejudiced
the case was denied in the trial
court.
In uphol6ing the lower court
today, the Appellate court said :
THE prosecutors unsupport-
ted assertion that he (Allen)
refused to talk to police was
not startling and does not ap-
pear to have been emphasized
We think the possibility, il

WINSTON-SALEM, N. c.,
Sept. Q Especially The har-
assed Redskins may be in for
more trouble Saturday night
when they face the Green Bay
Packers here. A 14-0 defeat
by the New York Giants last
week, their second loss Of the
preseason tour, should have
the Packers on edge for this
one.
Coach Mike Nixon is still
trying to get the Redskins back
on the beam after a shattering
52-14 loss to the Chicago Bears,
and has been working overtime
to do it. The same Bears
needed a 37-yard touchdown
pass from Zeke Bratkowski to
Rick Casares in the last 40 Sec
onds Of the game to edge Green
Bay, 1916, earlier in the exhi-
bition tour. And the Packers
supposedly have improved since
then.
Halas Is Impressed
George Halas. owner-coach
of the Bears, told reporters
Green Bay shapes UP as one Of
the most improved teams in the
league this year. Vince Lom-
bardi, one of Jim Lee Howells
assistants with the Giants last
year, took over the Green Bay
coaching job and while no
championship is expected Of
him the experts are confident
the team will be no doormat as
it was last year.
On the right side Of the
ledger the Packers have a 24-17
victory over San Francisco, and
crushing 1923 win over the
Philadelphia Eagles. San Fran
cisco nosed out the Redskins,
27-24, with a touchdown in the
last 8 seconds.

be rugged, especially If the
Redskins fail to improve on
their performance at Jackson
