v.
UNITED STATES of America.
No. 451.
Supreme Court of the United States
December 8, 1958
Mr. Bernard Tompkins, for petitioner.
Solicitor General Rankin, Assistant Attorney General Anderson, Beatrice Rosenberg and Mr. Kirby W. Patterson, for the United States.
Petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit granted limited to question 1 presented by the petition for the writ which reads as follows:
'I. Is the rule of this Court in
Jencks v. United States, 1957, 353 U.S. 657, a rule of
mere procedure, or does it involve a defendant's constitutional
rights? May a clear violation of this rule be harmless error? May
the conceded error of a trial court in withholding from defense
counsel prior statements of principal Government witnesses be
excused because a Circuit Court finds that the defense was not
hampered in cross-examination of those witnesses? Is it proper for
a Circuit Court to determine what use defense counsel might have
made of statements erroneously withheld?'
Case transferred to the summary calendar and assigned for
argument immediately following No. 471.[ Rosenberg v. United States
