Miyamura Found Guilty of Peonage in Federal Court
Yesterday Miyamura was found guilty of peonage by a Federal jury in Wax, with Judge Dole delaying sentence to Friday morning. Defense counsel J W Cathcart sought time to prepare a new trial argument citing defendant’s poverty and appeal hardship. U S District Attorney Breckons pressed for immediate or at least pending custody, while Cathcart urged bond at 5000 and postponement of custody until ruling on the new trial motion. The case features extensive evidence including letters, photographs and records implicating Miyamura in running an evil resort and in prostituting young Japanese women. Breckons plans to translate letters for use in an album. The defendant remains in Marshal Hendry's custody pending sentencing.
