Burgn1an Mild
5chizophrenic
Testifies on Diagnosis
Made in Germany
After Arrest in 1916

- HERBERT j. Burgman was de-
scribed as a. pathological Milque-
toast" in District Court, today by
a psychiatrist who examined him
in Germany after his arrest by
the American Army in 1916.
The testimony marked the be-
ginning of the fourth week of
Burgman's trial on a charge Of
treason. Burgman. who served as
clerk in the American Embassy
in Berlin until the outbreak Of
World War II, admits he re-
manned in Germany during the
war and made propaganda broad
casts to the United States.
The psychiatrist. DR.. James F.
IDyde, said he examined Burgman
over period of three weeks.
Then. with three other board
members, he submitted a report
declaring that Burgman was suf-
fering from "schizophrenic reac-
ton, chronic. mild" DR.. Dyde re-
called.
Good at Following Orders.
Asked if Burgman at that time
could distinguish between right
and wrong, the witness replied,
my feeling in retrospect is that
this man could determine right
from wrong" He added. however.
that although "Burgman could
make a moral judgment. he was
unable to act on it"
DR.. Dyde described the defend
ant as completely unable to make
decisions for himself, but good at
following orders. Asked by Judge
Alexander Holtzof whether Burg
man could have refused to carry
out orders, the witness replied:
mo, he would follow them to the
last degree and with great COM
petency." 6
Like earlier testimony on Burg
mans mental condition in 1916.
DR.. Dyde said the examining
board had been unable to form
an opinion as to the defendants
mental condition during the war
years because Of a lack of medical
history covering that period.
However, Defense Attorney
James j. Laughlin asked the wit
ness a long hypothetical question
containing much of the evidence
as to Burgman's previous mental
condition brought out by the de-
fense in the course Of the trial.
Mental Illnesses Reviewed.
He reviewed Burgman's various
mental illnesses during the 1930s.
his record Of disqualification for
mental disorder. his alleged de
sertion" by the American Em-.
bassy and his subsequent mis-
treatment at the hands of the
Gestapo.
What would be your opinion
as to the mental condition of q
person in these circumstances"
the witness was asked. Judge
Holtzoff. however, on, the objec-
ton of Chief Prosecutor William
A. Paisley. refused to allow the
witness to- answer the question.
DR.. Dyde testified that he grad
uated from Colorado Medical
School in 1914 and is now doing
postgraduate work. In psychoan-
alysis at Columbia University. He
admitted under cross-examination
that in the diagnosis of mental
illness psychiatrists "often dis
agree"
Burgman has been pronounced
sane by an examining board since
his return to this country last
spring. DR.. Dyde testified that
mild schizophrenia is considered
durable.

peas in earthen jars that were
buried for 81 centuries in the ruins
Of Troy.
While dried ripe peas and cooked
Whole-pods were the piece de re.
Bistance on ancestral bills Of fare,
almost all peas sold in the modern

II is a fact that canned peas on
the average have greater nutritive
value than home-cooked fresh peas.
Moreover. the average cost Of the
fresh peas is more than twice az
great according to university tests.
Peas Of old doubtless were eaten
