The R. Foster Winans trial resumed in New York.

The last prosecution witness against the former Wall Street Journal reporter completed his testimony, leaving only a few technical matters before the government rests its case. Winans went on trial in January along with his roommate, David Carpenter, and a former stockbroker, Kenneth P. Felis, on charges that the group illegally tried to make stock market profits by using Winans’ knowledge of stories that were to appear in the Journal. The non-jury trial resumed before U.S. District Judge Charles E. Stewart in Manhattan following a five-week recess.
