yesterday affirmed four-year pris-
on sentence and a $1,000 fine i'm
posed on Everett M. "Washie"

his client today to determine if a
further appeal will be sought.

that he used benzedrine to simulate
chronic high blood pressure before
reporting for a pre-induction physi-

induction station.
Bratcher, now free on SO 900 bond,
has 10 days in which to note an ap-
peal before being taken into custody

sion to prison.
