Truman Officials Lose Freedom Bid
In St Louis the 8th U S Circuit Court of Appeals denied a second bid for a new trial by Matthew J Connelly and T Lamar Caudle. Connelly served as appointments secretary to Harry S Truman and Caudle led the Justice Department tax division. They were convicted in 1956 of trying to block prosecution of Irvin Sachs in a tax evasion case and each received two years in prison and a 2500 fine. The new-trial bid rested on an affidavit by Sachs attorney Schwimmer claiming the evidence memorandum was made without their knowledge.
