Warren Ouster Trial Recesses For Resolution Talks
The Warren ouster trial in district court recessed at noon until 1 30 pm or later as attorneys discussed possible agreements to save testimony time. Judge McWilliams presided while S Robert Houtchens and John J Dooley argued the case may hinge on the March 1 1958 resolution regarding district boundaries and whether it altered or corrected the boundary description. Dooley contended the resolution simply corrected a boundary description, not the line, while the defense eyed the December 15 1958 resolution as a potential boundary change.
