Supreme Court Delays Ruling On Eisler Appeal In Contempt Case
The Supreme Court split 5 to 4 and held off on ruling Eisler’s appeal from his contempt of Congress conviction after he fled to Soviet Germany. Justice Jackson criticized the majority and urged affirming the conviction. The court also agreed to review Eugene Dennis’s conviction and did not act on May and Garsson appeals. Walter Johnson logged 113 shutouts in 414 major victories across 21 seasons with the Washington Senators.
