was alleged to have furnished airplanes in which dope was carried into the United States from Panama. He pleaded not guilty. After an outburst on the witness stand he got up and went back to his chair and told Judge Hughes Go Ahead send me to prison, If I can't tell the truth about anything I quit." Judge Hughes ordered the jury out of the courtroom and asked Robertson if he wanted to plead guilty. He said no --- then she ordered him to return to the stand for cross-examination. He refused for a time -- but later did return.
