President Wilson blocks military court plan for spies
In Washington on April 23 President Wilson opposed transforming loyalty and espionage cases to military courts, persuading Senator Overman and Senator Chamberlain to pause the Chamberlain bill. Attorney General Gregory repudiated Charles Warren’s push for passage, noting Warren acted without approval. Warren resigned after the controversy as hearings pressed on spies and disloyalists. Grounded in presidential opposition, the effort to move trials to military courts stalls for now.
