Major X looms in mutiny trials at Presidio
In San Francisco six army privates face court martial for mutiny at the Presidio. Defense counsel Capt. Emmit Yeary cites an affidavit from a mysterious Major X claiming Lt. Gen. Stanley Larsen seeks to “off the hook.” Prosecution and judge advocate reject the claim and deny a change of trial site while noting prior sentences in related cases. Gerald N. Hill calls for a congressional probe into the proceedings.
