McNabb Case Ruling
Great Handicap 10
Police, Kelly Says
Tells Hearing Department
Connot Be Responsible
If Murder Wave Results

Declaring the Supreme Court
decision in the McNabb case, re-
stricting admissibility of evidence
in criminal prosecutions, has
imposed one of the greatest
handicaps with which law-en-
forcement officers ever have been
confronted" Maj. Edward J
Kelly, superintendent of police
told a House subcommittee today
that IF you have a series of mur-
ders in the District of Columbia
you cannot hold the police re-
sponsible-they are unable to
make proper Investigations"
Maj. Kelly was the first witness
as judiciary subcommittee headed
by Representative Weaver, Demo-
crat, of North Carolina, opened hear
ings on the bill by Representative
Hobbs, Democrat, of Alabama, to
remedy conditions created by the
McNabb decision in which the Su-
preme Court neld that confessions
in murder case were inadmSsible
because the defendants had been
held over-long for questioning before
arralgnment.
Charges against five persons have
been thrown out by the local courts
as the result of the McNabb ruling
Maj Kelly told the subcommittee
He added that that is the situation
with which we are going to be con-
fronted" and that the same condi-
ton applies equally throughout the
rest of the country.
Calls Situation Absurd.
Representative Summers, Demo-
crat, of Texas, chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, sat in on the
hearing although he is not men,
ber of the subcommittee, and de-
scribed as absurd" the situation
now prevailing here which finds the
Police Department losing control
of prisoners after their arraign-
ment, as Maj Kelly and Inspector
Robert j. Barrett, chief of detec-
tives, explained.
With reference to the Supreme
Court decision as "a bunch of
