hi M year In prison on rape
charge, offered evidence In federal
court yesterday to show the woman

The case was termed "shocking"
by Judge Michael L. Igoe after Dr.

Montgomery's writ of habeas corpus.
The Negro prisoner claims that evi
dence that would have cleared him
was not Introduced at his trial.

Montgomery was convicted of rap
ing. He was sentenced to life Im
prisonment at Waukcgan on June 8,
1934.
Walter said the cupy showed no
mention of Indications of rape. He
said he called the case and that a
careful examination convinced him
Miss Snow, who was S3 years old at
that time, had not been raped. Wal
ter said Miss Snow later was com-
; mitted to a mental institution where
J she died.
Judge Igoe, who took Montgom-
cry's plea under advisement, com
J mented that the prosecutor should
a have brought the hospital record
Into the case.
J "This certainly would have re-
suited In an acquittal so far as the
rap charge I concerned.' he said.
