Show GAYNOR AND GREENE AGAIN Argument of the Appeal Resumed Re-sumed Before Federal Court in New Orleans; Accused of Prejudice. NEW ORLEANS, April 2. Argument Argu-ment of the Greene and Gaynor appeal before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals' was resumed today by A. A. Lawrence for the defense, who continued con-tinued his speech of yesterday. It was argued first that the public opinion had been injected into the trial of this case in Savannah last year by the trial Judge in an address to the jury. Exception Ex-ception was taken to this address. The trial Judge was said to have told the jury that thi was a case in which the whole people, including the jurors themselves, were directly con- cerned, and that the people of the United States were as much interested as would be the people of the counties where the jurors lived, if an indictment indict-ment were pending charging some ono with embezzlement of all the taxes raised in those counties for a particular year. Among other exceptions, it was claimed that the court in its charge, argued to the jury, took the facts from the jury, prejudiced the jury against Greene and Gaynor and abridged the right of the defendants to have counsel coun-sel in their case. |
