Before him ranged the red-robed High Court of Justice, a three-man tribunal headed by stern Pierre Mongibeaux, 65, (in 1941 he had sworn loyalty to Pétain's Vichy Government). The public prosecutor was André Mornet, 75 (in World War I he sent Spy Mata Hari to the firing squad). The 24-man jury had been chosen half from the Resistance movement, half from non-collaborationist ex-parliamentarians. Behind the prisoner sat his counsel, his doctors and nurses, the witnesses (there would be about 50), the tightly packed reporters and spectators...

Premier George Papandreou preferred a three-man regency. The Archbishop replied that he would act alone, or not at all. ELAS retired to consider surrendering its arms, the Government to persuade absent King George II to agree to a regency. Meanwhile the fighting continued...
...Three for One? Who would take his place? Jim Farley was a much-mentioned name. But the best bet was that no successor would be named for a year, that a three-man advisory council would take over temporarily: American League President William Harridge, National League President Ford Frick, Landis' secretary, Leslie O'Connor. It might well take three men to fill the Judge's shoes...
