Chicago 7 Set for April Hearing on Acquittal Petition
The Chicago Seven case returns to U.S. District Court Judge Julius J. Hoffman for an April hearing on a defense petition seeking to overturn five convictions for crossing state lines to incite riots during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The petition cites alleged jury pre deliberation secrecy, improper jury influences, and suppression of information by U.S. Attorney Thomas A. Foran. In Minneapolis, the postal union ballots went out Saturday to 400 members as carriers walked off the job, leaving the strike vote in doubt.
