jury in his defense of three Jewish high school students who were convicted of assault.
GRIGAT ASKS TO SPEAK
Before the brief session was adjourned until September 6, at the request of a representative from the office of Martin Burke, counsel for the defendants, Grigat asked permission of the court to make the statement in which he charged intimidation.
“All efforts,” he said, “are being made to compel Judge Goldstein and me to drop the action. I received a telephone call last Tuesday at my office and was told if this action was not dropped I would be taken for a one-way ride.”
Addressing the representative for the accused, Magistrate Brill advised him to “take this information back to your office.”
“We do justice here in our courts and not outside our courts,” she added.
IN ATTORNEY’S CUSTODY
All the defendants, with the exception of Walter Kappe, editor of the German section of the pro-Nazi organ, whose bail previously had been fixed at $500, were continued in the custody of their attorney. The others are Carl Voelcker, president of the D. Z. Publishing Corporation, which owns the paper; William L. McLaughlin, vice-president of the corporation and editor of the English section, and the D. Z. Publishing Corporation.
