Forgotten Obscene Mail Case Heard In Topeka
United States District Judge Phillips heard arguments in the Harmon case in Topeka. Harmon, convicted over four years ago of sending obscene matter through the mails and given five years, has served four months of that sentence due to a prior error. The issue is whether he should be resentenced to complete the term. Also argued was the Woodruff case, with Judge Phillips taking both matters under advisement.
