Hughes Loses Bid for New Trial in 1963 Attempted Murder Case
Charles L. Hughes, already serving 10 to 15 years for attempting to murder his 3 year old stepdaughter to collect a $30,000 life insurance, lost another bid for a new trial. Superior Court Judge Mary Anne Richey denied the petition after a Monday hearing. Hughes again claimed eyewitnesses from Arizona State Prison supported his claim. The alleged witness, William F. Keefe, testified to car tampering before the crash. The girl survived.

Suit Seeks Abolition of Fort Dix Stockade
Five soldiers imprisoned in the Fort Dix stockade filed a federal class action to abolish the stockade or secure major reforms. They allege beatings, tiny rations, denied medical care, limited exercise reading mail and chapel access, and segregated punishment. The plaintiffs, led by Pvt John W. Lewis of Kentucky, accuse the stockade of being an incarceration camp for political prisoners. The suit is supported by several civil liberties groups and announced at NECLC.
