Military backs up a 40 year sentence for Hed soldier
The War Department reviews a 40 year term given by a Honolulu military court to Private Paul M. Crouch of the Twenty first Infantry for enlisting to foment revolution within the garrison and among the island population in Hawaii. Private Walter M. Trumble, also convicted of circulating communist propaganda, faced a separate court. Evidence suggests both plotted against the government before enlisting. A reduction in the sentence is anticipated as the judge advocate and Maj. Gen. Lewis consider the term excessive. A cablegram from Hawaii prompted the War Department to seek explanations, with testimony indicating pre enlistment revolutionary beliefs.
