Judge Dickson Quashes Indictment for Perjury Against Cox
Judge Dickson voids two perjury indictments against George B. Cox for tests before the March 1906 grand jury, ruling Cox was compelled to testify and could not be forced to incriminate himself. Prosecutor Hunt seeks rehearing and mandamus to keep one indictment alive. Cox’s lawyers claim constitutional rights were violated. The decision prompts a circuit writ request and future court action.
