Federal Judge Dismisses New Indictment of Owen Lattimore
A federal judge in Washington dismisses a new perjury indictment against Owen Lattimore for allegedly denying ties to the Communist line. Judge Luther Youngdahl calls the charge too vague and says it would force a sham trial, noting the phrase “follower of the Communist line” lacks a clear definition. The decision, tied to Sixth Amendment specificity, leaves room for appeal after prior rulings on the original indictment.
