Jackson Reveals Threat Against Witness in War Trial.

NUERNBERG, April 24 (U, P)— The War crimes trial was thrown into an uproar today by disclosure that a witness had been threatened. There were charges also of a plot for mutual protection among the defendants and their lawyers. Justice Robert H. Jackson told the court that threats were made against Hans Bernd Gisevius, former attache of the Nazi interior ministry, while he was waiting to testify. Gisevius himself testified that he overheard Otto Stahmer and Rudolf Dix, counsel for Hermann Goering and Hjalmar Schacht, discussing the trend of evidence to be taken. Goering Enraged

It wes. indicated that City Hall 1s were staying out of the limelight in the “anti-machine” battle now in order not to complicate their position in nominating their choice for the mayoralty next year, “The purpose of this committee is to see that free elections are maintained in Marion county,” Mr. Huff sald in outlining the policies of the new group. “The county Republican chairman (Henry E. Ostrom) has shut the door against all candidates who have not been handpicked by the Republican machine and this committee is going to assist candidates not being supported by the regular organization,” Mr. Huff explained. “We are not going to get a free election unless the people -get out to the polls and vote on May 7.” he warned. “One of the main objectives of the committee will be to get more voters to cast ballots so that candidates nominated will be the choice of the people and not of machine politicians,” ! ¥ Group Meets Tomorrow The committee will meet tomorrow, he said, to decide on the candidates to be supported. Members of the committee indicated that they “probably” will throw their support to Judge Judson L. Stark for fhe prosecutor nomina~tion; Capt. Albert C. Magenheimer for the sheriff nomination: Sheriff Otto W. Petit for the treasurer nomination and Judge John L. Niblack for the nomination for judge of Superior court 1. Candidates expected to get the regular organization's backing in these races are Alex M. Clark for prosecutor, ‘Charles J. Russell for sheriff, Louis Fletcher for county treasurer and Lawrence Hinds for the superior court 1 nomination.. The Citizens Committee is expected to back a complete slate of candidates against Mr, Ostrom's lineup.
