Introduction

Prince L. Hudgins admits that he spoke against the federal authority in the first year of the war, before the conspiracy law, under which he was charged, was passed. But after he was charged, he claims to have kept his head down and avoided difficulty, neither supporting nor openly opposing the war. His problem is that the prosecutor, whom he characterizes as an enemy, has refused for four years to bring his case to trial.
