Judge denies defense request in Cannon Burroughs trial
In Washington on April 24 Justice Peyton Gordon denied a defense motion to instruct the jury to acquit Bishop James Cannon Jr. and Ada L. Burroughs of conspiring to violate the federal corrupt practices act. The court also overruled a bid to strike all prosecution evidence except that showing E. C. Jameson's $65,300 anti Smith campaign contributions, of which $17,300 was reported. The bishop argued the unreported funds were spent in Virginia and thus not subject to reporting.
