In _A Serious Character_, p. 620, Humphrey Carpenter says that Secretary of
War Henry L. Stimson, reacting to a clamor for Pound to be tried in
absentia for treason, proposed to Attorney General Francis Biddle that
Pound be indicted in absentia and then tried after the conclusion of the
war. In _Ezra Pound: The Tragic Years_, p. 195, J.J. Wilhelm says that
Stimson "warned Biddle not to go along with a group of people who were
demanding the indictment. . . ." Carpenter cites C. David Heymann as his
source; Wilhelm cites Tim Redman. Does anybody know which of the
biographers has the story right?
 
Thanks.
