16 Mistrial Motions Denied
As Judge Cracks Down,
Warns Defendants. | WASHINGTON, May 22 (U. P). —Judge Edward C. Eicher today denied six mistrial motions in the sedition case, then cracked down on defense attorneys and announced that he would sentence to a week in jail the next defendant who creates a disturbance during the trial. He began his new “tough” policy by summarily imposing contempt fines of $200 and $100 respectively on attorney Henry Klein and defendant Ellis O. Jones. Klein, counsel for Eugene Nelson Sanctuary, first was fined $50. When he continued to protest and shouted “I think that's an insult” to a remark by Eicher, the judge boosted the fine until it totaled $200. Klein's outburst was precipitated by Eicher’s ruling that each of the 29 defendants would be allowed only one-half hour for their opening statements. He jumped to his feet and began to shout. ’
