Bird Acquitted Os Charge In Germany Indiana Man Faces Additional Charges Frankfort. Germany. Aug. 19. (UP) — Russell G Bird of Mishawaka, Ind., former manager of -in wax found Innocent today by an*a;--

was foundlnnocent today by an army court martial which tried hin on an embezzlement charge. Bird wax acqujtted of a charge of embezzling 1.500 cartons of cigarettes from post exchanges he managed. But additional charges of misappropriating 4.200 cartons o’ cigarettes and breaking arrest to return to the United States last year still stand. Bird's counsel, Maj. Rufus V. Jones of Cartersville, Ga., argued that the prosecution had failed to prove- embezzlement in presenting Its case I-egal experts said the findings of innocent probably would have considerable bearing on Bird's habeas corpus petition which is scheduled for a hearing in a Washington D C. federal district court in September.

They said that since Bird has been found not guilty of embezzlement. the army might have more difficulty proving it wax Justified In extraditing Bird to Germany foi the trial. The defense said Bird wax justified in fleeing from Germany because he was picked up Illegally 9ly army agents who did not have a warrant for his arrest'. “They (CID agents) simply took this man." Jones said. “What could this slender, anemic man do against the strong army police who said ‘see here, buddy, come with me.” Army agents testified that Bird went with them for questioning voluntarily. Jones said that when Bird left Germany for the I'. 8. "he broke no legal arrest — he broke tiu restraint.” “If there was Illegality at the beginning," Jones added, "it remained and remained and remained and remains today.” The court recessed at the defense request until next Tuesday. Meantime, reports from Washington said that federal district judge Richmond B. Keech had rejected a petition to interrupt Bird's trial and return him to Washington for a habeas corpus hearing cn Aug. 22. tard will contend in the hearing that he was extradited illegally. But Keech refused to issue an order directing the army to get Bird back here Monday. Instead, the hearing was postponed until Sept. 19.
