Miller Insanity Plea
Indicated by Visit
OF Two Psychiatrists
Practitioner to Examine
Attorney to Determine
Physical Condition

The visit of two psychiatrists to
the District Jail yesterday to ex-
anime Robert I. Miller today lent
credibility to the theory that the
67-year-old attorney may plead in
sanity when he goes to trial Mon
day in the Staying of DR.. John e.
Lind, senior medical officer at st.
Elizabeth's Hospital
H. Mason WEIGH, one of Miller's
attorneys, said he had not yet seen
the report Of the two psychiatrists
and that he could not predict the
course of action until he had con-
ferred with them He said the ex-
animation was made principally to
ascertain whether Miller would be
in condition to appear in District
Court next week.
A general practitioner was to be
sent to the jail today or tomorrow,
Mr. Welch said, to determine Mil
ler's physical condition.
IT wasn't satisfied" Mr.. Welch
said. That's why we arranged for
the examinations. Mr.. Miller's con-
dition has been bad ever since he
was remanded to the jail. He has
been getting better gradually, but
I wasn't sure he could go on trial"
Mr.. WEIGH said he wanted to make
certain of his clients condition this
week so that Judge Ben Moore of
West Virginia, who is to preside over
the trial, would not have to make q
needless trip if Miller is not fit.
From other sources it was learned
that Miller appears to be in pretty
good shape" but is quite nervous" j"
1t was also said that the attorney
suffered from "a little heart trouble
and that he had lost considerable
weight" since ne was jailed. He has
been confined to the infirmary.
The psychiatrists sent to examine
Miller were DR.. Antoine Schneider
and Dr. Albert E. Marland. Mr..
WEIGH said he was not at liberty
to reveal the identity of the general
practitioner who is to examine his
client.
DR.. Lind was shot in his automo-
bile at Eleventh and G streets NV,
on February 81. Miller's wife, Mrs.
Marguerite Miller, was in the car
at the time. Miller was arrested
Immediately after the shooting and
was quoted, at the time, as saying
that he shot the doctor in self

Father Deferred
On Prediction of
Sd Set of Twins

Precedent rather than x-rays
apparently was responsible for the
decision of the District Board OF
Appeal to defer Clifford Kirby, 81
of Seat Pleasant as hardship case
In granting the appeal, the board
noted that Mr.. Kirby already had
four children and "a set of twins is
expected in August"
Since Mr.. Kirby's papers went te
the appeal board late in March and
the case was decided April 5, there
was cause to wonder how any one
could know so far in advance what
the stork would bring, particularly
since Mr.. Kirby's file showed no rec
ord that Mrs. Kirby's doctor had
taken X-rays.
Mr.. Kirby said. however, that the
doctor had predicted twins and the
appeal board was ready to take his
word for it. The four other Kirby
children consist of two sets of twins.

De|inquencyCui
|nMontgonery,
Jurist Says
Proctor Urges Court
Be Given Rule Over
All Youth Offenses

Declaring juvenile delinquenc,
has decreased in Montgomery Coun
ty during the last three years despit,
a substantial increase in population
Judge Frank B. Proctor of tn,
County Juvenile Court today rec.
commended changes in the juvenil,
laws to give the court jurisdiction
over all juvenile offenses.
Under the present law, Judg,
Proctor declared in his annual re.
port, the court has jurisdiction ovel
those under IS years of age wht
have committed misdemeanors, bu
has no control over minors wht
have committed felonies.
This means, Judge Proctor said
that a child who steals more thar
$25 comes under the jurisdiction Of
the regular courts and is treated
as any criminal.
1--WE feel" Judge Proctor added
that some felonies committed BY
children are not as serious as tht
same crimes committed by adults
and that the criminal code should
be amended to give the juvenile
courts jurisdiction over all minors
under 16 years of age, no matter
what their crime may be-"
Pointing to the decrease in juve-
nile delinquency, Judge Proctor sale
total complaints on juvenile offenses
increased from 359 in 1910 to 572 ir
l943, but that in the same period the
number of minors brought to triaI
after investigation dropped from sc
to 10. He said the population in
creased from $4,000 to 10000 during
this time.
Many Cases Kept Out of Court.
All cases brought to the attention
of the Juvenile Court are investi-
gated, he said, but many are cis-
posed of through plans worked out
at home and without the minor
being brought into court.
Judge Proctor said that of the
total complaints investigated last
year, 399 were of white boys. At OF
colored boys, 104 of white girls and
% of colored girls. He said the age
bracket between 10 and II years
provided the problem group. A ma
Jorlty OF complaints were for steal
ing and acts of misconduct or care
lessness. He said most of the cases
sent to the training schools were for
stealing by boys and sex delinquen-
cies by girls.
Closer Supervision Urged.
Judge Proctor also recommended
that the Juvenile Act be amended
to provide more certain" authority
for the placement of children In
foster homes and allow the deten-
ton of children when necessary in
quarters with proper facilities pro-
vided.
He urged that county police place
under closer supervision places OF
amusement, such as theaters. beer
parlors and dance halls, and that
closer check of streets be made
at night to prevent minors from
loafing at late hours. The present
county recreation program should
be expanded as the need arises as
a means of lessening delinquency
among out-of- school children, he
added.
THE heavy load of probation
cases, coupled with Investigations
makes it physically impossible fo,
one probation officer properly te
follow up children placed on pro-
bation," Judge Proctor said. 1T
is, therefore, important, that pro-
visions be made for an additiona.
probation officer to assist in this
department"
