Dismissal Of Three Ops Sustained By U S Judge
Federal Judge John H Church Ford sustained a government motion to dismiss charges against three Harlan county coal operators and three companies in the anti labor conspiracy case. Defendants include Mimer Distal Three Point on Blackneck and the Diamond Coal corporation and others. The ruling leaves 40 individuals and 17 coal companies as defendants and sets the stage for a recorded dismissal rather than a directed verdict of not guilty. Defense counsel indicated they will present hundreds of witnesses as the hearing enters its sixth week.
