Grand jury blasts Cummings over Long tax case prosecutions
New Orleans June 1 Nine members of the grand jury that indicted friends of the late Senator Huey P Long for income tax fraud accuse Attorney General Homer Cummings of abandoning prosecutions. They demand Fisher and Shushan be released and protest how the government handled the cases, saying the evidence remained strong enough to indict others who were not tried. They cite a “changed atmosphere” in New Orleans and argue the law’s integrity was at stake. The nine jurors, who served nine months, note others like Seymour Weiss and the Nelson brothers avoided trial as the cases were dropped.
