A Case of Conscience: Coudert Changes View on Maynard
Frederick R Coudert, ex president of the New York City Bar and Manhattan Club leader, testifies before the Joint Judiciary Committee on Judge Maynard. He says he believed the sending back of returns was a crime after reviewing evidence, revising his January stance. He cites unlawful removal of public records and a plan to keep returns from the State Board of Canvassers, a deliberated act rather than inadvertence. The session continues tomorrow.
