WILLIAM DUDLEY PELLEY—His +
Threats Used To Jail Him, Says Writer
Wartime Editor Wants Name Cleared
William Dudley Pelley, for mer Silver Shirt leader, today blasted the FBI and federal
prosecutors as he asked Fed-
eral Court here to wipe out his conviction for wartime sedition. Pelley, now on parole from the 15-year sentence imposed here in 1942, charged his conviction was illegal and a plot among federal officials. He said his attacks on the government were not proNazi, but merely anti~Communist, Pelley was convicted on charges his writings were treasonable and injurious to the war effort. He has lived in Noblesville since his release from federal penitentiary in 1950. The goateed author loosed sensational charges in today’s appeal, such as: ONE-—His chief defense attorney, the late Oscar F. ‘Smith, “was approached” by an emissary of the prosecution... and warned if he did not ‘pull his punches’ and aid in ‘putting Pelley away,’ Mr. Smith's wife, a German alien,
- would be deported.”
