Brinton Signer of Petition Regarding Karlsruhe Case

Among the twenty-one signers of a petition to William J. Foley, district attorney of Suffolk County, demanding the immediate dismissal of the Karlsruhe cases pending in the Boston courts, was C. Crane Brinton '19, assistant professor of History and head of the Massachusetts committee for Rhodes Scholarships.

The signers, nineteen of them college professors including ten from Dartmouth, stated that they "believe, after consideration of the cases, that there is no reason why there should be any further delay in the only course which the facts justify," i.e., dismissal. The judge will charge the jury when court opens this morning in Pemberton Square. A decision is expected in short order.
