Menderes in the dock. Looking just a shadow of his former robust self, Adnan Menderes, former Prime Minister of Turkey, speaks from the dock during his trial here. Menderes, who faces possible death if found guilty of 'constitutional violations', has obviously lost many stones wait during his imprisonment here while awaiting trial. In a rambling speech, quite unlike his old conference, the ex-Premier testified that for about four months he had not been permitted to talk to people. 400 leaders of the once powerful Democratic party, including the former Turkish president Celal Bayar, are on trial in this bizarre court, which used to be a basketball court. About 40 face the death penalty. 15 October 1960
