Justices upheld punishments for offenders while emphasizing fitting penalties to the offender. The court issued four opinions today, with Justices Murphy and Rutledge dissenting. It did not act on Gerhart Eisler’s appeal from contempt of Congress. Former Rep. Andrew J. May and Henry M. Garsson appealed their convictions for bribery and conspiracy to defraud, each facing 24 months in prison, with bonds active. The justices also asked Illinois to report on safeguards for convicted defendants’ constitutional rights.
