Hughes Brands Newberry Ghat as Grotesque Corruption Trial
The Supreme Court heard appeals in the 1918 corrupt practices act case involving Senator Truman H. Newberry of Michigan and 16 others. Defense leader Charles E. Hughes called the conviction a grotesque perversion of justice while the government defended the verdict and outlined alleged campaign expenditures and wire actions. The session noted disputed points on legality of campaign spending and conspiracy charges as the court prepared to reconvene. Henry Ford reportedly gained 325 votes over Newberry in Michigan precincts as recount efforts continued.
