Mayor LaGuardia Demands Impeachment Of Capshaw In Hines Case
New York February 27 A sharply worded sequel to James J. Hines conviction has Mayor LaGuardia demanding the immediate impeachment of Magistrate Hulon Capshaw accused of aiding Hines in a multi million dollar policy racket. Capshaw appeared as a defense witness in Hines second trial to deny District Attorney Dewey's charges he dismissed cases to shield Hines’s henchmen. The mayor’s demand follows the jury’s 18 count verdicts against Hines and signals continued legal battles as sentencing is postponed to March 13 and appeals loom.
