Hogan and Court Tilt in Riggs Perjury Trial
A District of Columbia court heard final divisions of the Riggs National Bank perjury case as Hogan contends the evidence rules were abused and Lammond’s recall prejudiced the defense. Testimony traced a long list of transactions involving Lewis Johnson & Co and the bank, with Lammond and witness Mearns explaining brokerage dealings and bank lending to Post & Flags. Chauncey Depew and Mrs Depew attended court as the trial proceeded with sessions focusing on witnesses and records.
