'Sedition Trial Figure
Held for Mental Test

Mrs. Edith Turner. who served 10
days in District Jail for contempt of
court after staging lone demon
stration at the sedition trial in
District Court, was held in the
psychopathic ward at Gallinger Hos
pital today for mental observation.
Mrs. Turner was rearrested by
Metropolitan Police when jail au-
thorities released her late yesterday
after her term was completed.
Meanwhile, her attorney, John T.
Bonner, filed petition for a writ
Of habeas corpus. charging she was
detained without legal warrant.
Justice James w. Morris will hear
the matter at 10 am. Monday.
Mrs. Turner threw the trial into
an uproar during one of the after
noon sessions when she tried to un-
furl a crude banner. The banner
apparently had nothing to do with
the sedition case but charged two
American Consuls with treason"
The middle-aged woman, VINO
speaks broken English, said she had
been in Central Europe for years,
and gave newspapermen an inco-
rherent account of her grievances as
she was led from court by a deputy
marshal. Later. Justice Eicher re-
convened court and had Mrs. Turner
brought in. He sentenced her to 10
days and ordered hereto undergo a
mental examination.
The sedition trial is In recess until
Wednesday.
