Lindbergh Testifies As Defense Witness In Pelley Trial
Indianapolis August 4 Charles A Lindbergh appeared briefly as a defense witness in the sedition trial of William Dudley Pelley stating he had not sought public opinion on the war since the United States entered it. He said he aimed to aid the war effort and avoided attempting to gauge sentiment. The cross examination by the government closed after about fifteen minutes. The adjournment followed as defense counsel had no further witnesses ready. Lindbergh, a former America First member, was the first of Pelleys proposed high profile witnesses. He traveled from Detroit and declined to comment on the case.
