DISABLED VETERAN
HELD DISORDERLY
Man Elected From Hospital Put on
Personal Bond After
Heated Trial.

Richard A. Mayes. disab former
service man. who was forcibly eject
ed Sunday from Mount Alto Hos
pital upon refusal to leave after being
discharged. was convicted of diSor-
DERBY conduct following a heated trial
IN Police Court today before Judge
George II. Macdonald. His personal
bond was taken by the court and
appeal noted by Abram Seigle, his
counsel.
Mayes denied knowledge of his dis
charge and stated he was literally
thrown out by Peter j. Melise. spe-
cial policeman for the Veterans Blu
reau. and policemen from the Tenley
town precinct.
Edward w. Thomas. assistant cor
poration counsel. produced evidence
that the defendant was Officially dis
charged by DR.. II. {. Won Dahm
commandant of the hospital, March 9,
and that upon becoming aware of the
orders March II Mayes used vile
language.
The trial grew heated when the
Judge. incensed by the tactics en-
ployed by the defense counsel
threatened to appoint another coun-
sci This threat was precipitated by
Mr.. SeiCle's asking whether Dr. Won
Damn had fought IN the w GRID W ar,
and on what side.
Mr.. Seigle then asked the court
not to let his feeling toward the
counsel guide his finding of the de-
PENDANT. What do you think of
my integrity" the court sharply
asked.
According to Mr.. Thomas. the de-
PENDANT is seeking to get all out of
the Government he can, because he
was in the Army. Although alleged
to be partly blind, Mr.. Thomas de-
clared that the most of it was sham
as the defendant had been in trouble
several times for driving an automo-
bile without a permit. Mr.. Thomas
declared most of Mayes' disabilities

lions will ever be able to reconcile
these differences remains to be seen.
One factor which, If not now. at
least in a few years to come. may
help to bring disarmament Is the
huge cost of keeping up the armies
