Senator Borah introduces Bill
in Defendants' Behalf.
DEMANDS IMMEDIATE TRIAL
Cases Similar to Binger Hermann'!
and Congressman Williamson's
to Be Tried in Court Term Fol
lowing Indictment.
OREGONIAN NEWS BTJREAU, Wash
ington,' Dec. 15. Senator Borah, of
Idaho, introduced a bill requiring Fed
eral Courts, unless a good cause to the
contrary is shown, to dismiss indictments
against persons who through no fault
of their own are unable to obtain a trial
during the term of court following that
in which the indictment was returned
against them.
The bill further stipulates that when
defendant objects to postponement or
demands a trial., grounds for continuance
on the part of the Government must be
set forth in a sworn statement and a
copy served upon the defendant five days
before the motion for postponement is to
be heard.
This bill is aimed at what Senator
Borah regards, and what President-elect
Taft believes, to be one of the greatest
evito of our judicial Hystem the delays
in bringing criminal cases to trial.
This bill affects such cases as that
of ex-Congressman and Land Com
missioner Hermann, of Oregon, who for
Oregon, but tip to this day has not been
tried. Borah's bill is not retroactive, but
would, if passed, guarantee Hermann a
trial at this term of court, or else result
in dismissing indictments against him
It would- have the same effect on the
Williamson case and other land casea
long pending in Oregon.
