Italians Plea Is Ruled Out In Mongiola Sabotage Case
In Houston on July 15 Judge James V Allred ruled out the defense claim that 23 Italian seamen acted under orders when they damaged the freighter Mongiola. The court will charge the jury tomorrow that wilful damage to a vessel in American waters is forbidden and owners had no right to permit it. U S Attorney Douglas W McGregor argued the crew violated U S statutes by damaging the ship during the Port Houston incident last March 30.
