afternoon in the court-martial of Assist
ant Surgeon David \. Spear. L. S. ~.
vino is charged with forging the names of
brother officers to Treasury checks and
having them cashed for his own use.
The picture in all it's frenzied luridness
was painted by Henry II. Classic of the
local bar. who is appearing as counsel for
Spear.
ATTORNEY Classic admitted that the ac-
cused had forged the names OF three OF
his fellow-medical officers of the navy to
the checks, but declared the act was that
of man whose mind was disordered and
his mentality irresponsible because of the
too free and continued use of strong
drink.
Counsel said the particular blame in the
case could be charged to Assistant Surgeon
Spears fondness for Martini cocktails. a
beverage which he asserted contains ver-
muth and absinthe. the toxic effects of
which will in the opinion of medical men,
drive its victims to crimes and other ex-
cesses.
