Remington v. United States

Messrs. William C. Chanler and Joseph L. Rauh, Jr., for petitioner.

Solicitor General Perlman, Assistant Attorney General McInerney, Robert L. Stern and Beatrice Rosenberg, for the United States.

Mr. Justice BLACK, with whom Mr. Justice DOUGLAS concurs, dissenting.

A federal district court grand jury indicted petitioner for perjury. A petit jury convicted him. The Court of Appeals reversed but refused to order the indictment dismissed. 191 F.2d 246. Petitioner is now seeking certiorari, claiming that the indictment should have been dismissed. The majority now denies his petition. I think we should grant and consider two questions the petitioner presents. These questions challenge the fairness of the prosecutorial methods used to obtain and to sustain the indictment.

Dissenting memorandum filed by Mr. Justice BLACK, with whom Mr. Justice DOUGLAS concurs.

Mr. Justice CLARK took no part in the consideration or decision of this application.
