H. La Guardia as a witness for Kuhn.

other hand, I have considered him a- nuisance to the community and probably a threat to civil liberties.” Mr. Sabbatino said he intended to show that a spirit of hatred had been created against the defendant. “It is difficult. to call it hatred,” Mr. Dewey said, “when .it is really contempt.”

Denies Raid Knowledge

Mr. Sabbatino tried to bring out that Bund records, used by the State in the prosecution, were “illegall®

seized.” From those records the State arrived at its charge that Kuhn had spent Bund money to pay medical bills and moving costs of women friends. Smiling ‘affably, Mr. Dewey said he did not know if advance that Bund headquarters were to be raided on May 2, 1939, when the records were seized. “I was in Urbana, Ill, that day,” he said. “The raid was just office procedure.” Subsequently, it was brought out, the Mayor sent Mr. Dewey a cartoon forwarded to Mr. La Guardia by the Mayor of Portland, Ore. which

Mr. La Guardia tearing Kuhn apart, each shouting, “I saw him first.” Mr. La Guardia had appended a

note saying, “You can have him,

Tom,” and Mr. Dewey had. replied, “I don't want him; I think the ash can would be the. best place for him.” .

Mr. Froeboese testified that as department leader he - receives § cents a month from each member's dues in his territory, but insisted he could not remember how many members there were, Several times, under prodding by General Sessions Judge James G.

Mr. Froeboese said at first he did not know whether his income amounted to 10 cents or $10,000, but finally said it “averaged $25 a month.” - : Mr, Froboese testified that Kuhn's explanation of the incident of Mrs. Florence Camp, in which the Bund leader allegedly used Bund funds for transcontinental transportation of her furniture, was made to the
