Alexandra Court Hears
Bratcher Draft Case Plea

Arguments on a motion to exclude
preinduction medical test evidence
from the trial of Everett M
(Washie) Bratcher, Washington
band leader, charged with the use of
drugs to evade the draft, were pre-
sented today before Judge Robert N.
Pollard In Federal Court at Alex
andria.
Leslie c. Garnett, Bratcher's at
torney. said he would present testi-
mony to show that evidence obtained
by medical examiners at the Fort
Myer induction station should be
excluded on the grounds that it is
violation of his clients constitu-
tional rights.
Mr.. Garnett contended that the
introduction of such evidence
would, in effect, cause the defend
ant to testify against himself.
Asserting that. 'the foundation
OF the case against Bratcher hinges
on this notion Mr.. Garnett said
he would not introduce a motion to
take the case out of the Virginia
courts jurisdiction on the ground
that the Fort Myer station Is not in
the State Of Virginia.
He said he and T. Edward O'Con-
nell, who also represents Bratcher,
would not introduce the motion be-
cause I'VE can not swear to it."
