...charged with conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury. Don Nixon was later followed to the stand by the second brother, Edward C. Nixon, 43, who appeared for the defense.

Indeed, Don Nixon had tried to beg off testifying because of heart trouble, but Federal Judge Lee P. Gagliardi ordered him examined by a physician and then decided that he should appear...

Across from Private Slovik, for example, ABC ran The Hanged Man. It was a tidy western-like many of these films a pilot for a possible series-about a sometime hired gun trying to reform himself by helping out the widows and orphans he had formerly oppressed.
