He had been expected to ask for time to investigate the specific allegations, j However, Emery fought tenaci ously to defend his 23 year old client and moved successfully on several occasions to have the testi mony of prosecution witnesses stricken from the record. One of those named on the Ar may's list, Cpl. Thomas "A. Car rick of Blacksburg, Va., who shared a foxhole with Dickenson and was captured on tne same day with him in Korea in 1950, testified he sheard Dickenson give the enemy the names of American POW's who were plotting to escape from a prison camp. Under cross examination, Car rick acknowledged he also heard Dickenson admit to the Chinese that he himself was planning an escape. Carrick, one of the prosecution's star witnesses, testified with ob vious reluctance. "It's hard to say anything against a man you fought in com bat with," he said. Dickenson, who originally chose to stay in enemy hands but finally came home, appeared relaxed and unworried as his courtmartial con tinued into the second day. He smiled frequently and chatted with his attorney. He is accused of in forming on fellow POW's to get favored treatment for himself. Lions Nominate Joseph Tompkins Joseph V.
