Mistrial Averted in Cannon Case After Testimony
In Washington on April 21 the Cannon case nearly faced a mistrial as Bishop James Cannon Jr testified about using estate funds for the 1928 campaign or personal debts. He corrected a prior memory of a $10 000 contribution, recounting a second $10 000 from Joseph Frelinghuysen, leading to prosecution withdrawal of a subpoena. The dispute between defense chief McNeill and prosecutor Wilson nearly triggered a mistrial before Cannon's own remarks quelled the crisis.
