New Trial For Hoffa Requested
In Chattanooga a hearing on James R Hoffa's fourth bid for a new jury tampering trial ended abruptly as defense lawyers cited newly discovered evidence. U S District Judge Frank W Wilson took the motion under advisement after offering to hear evidence but received no response. Hoffa's first appearance here since his 1964 conviction lasted 45 minutes and alleged government wiretapping during the 1961 trial with affidavits from participants. The defense declined to present evidence, and the judge questioned the affidavits' legal significance while Hoffa remained impassive. An observer was James Neal, former U S attorney for Middle Tennessee. Earlier motions were denied without a hearing. one remains on appeal.
