Show HOOSEGOW Three N. Y. Reds Sweat Out Trial In Jail The U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals In New York ruled that three Communist Com-munist defendants, on trial for conspiracy con-spiracy and recently jailed for contempt, con-tempt, must stay in jail for the remainder of the trial between court sessions. The action of federal judge ; Harold R. Medina in ordering the I three men, Gus Hall, Harry Win- ton and Gilbert Green, confined in jail, was upheld by the appeals court. With eight other defendants and high party leaders, they have been free on bail. The defense to the circuit court that their sentences were indeterminate indeter-minate since the length of the trial was not known was argued by attorneys at-torneys in their appeal. The judge refused to allow this plea and passed sentence. |
