|HoItzoff Showed Bias
In Peckham Trial,
Defense Declares

! A defense motion yesterday
charged District Court Judge
Alexander Holtzoff with bias in
favor of the Government in the
abortion trial of DR.. Henry L.
Peckham, jr.. A.
DR.. Peckham was convicted last
Monday night by a jury of per-
forming an abortion on a 26-year-
old former Woman Marine in
May. 1851.
The charge Of bias on the part
of the trial judge was contained in
Ia motion seeking Judgment OF
acquittal for DR.. Peckham or, in
the alternative. a new trial.
The motion was filed on behalf
Of DR.. Peckham by Attorney David
F. Smith, who was not the trial
lawyer.
Judge Cites Attorney.
The trial counsel, Attorney Dor
Isey K. Offutt, was sentenced by
Judge Holtzoff to 10 days in Jail
for contempt of court, and is free
on bond pending appeal. Judge
Holtzoff, in finding Attorney Of
futt in contempt, declared that he
had been guilty throughout the
trial of "contumacious, contempt
uous and unethical conduct"
Yesterdays defense motion de-
clared:
"The entire trial was conducted
in such an atmosphere of hostility
and bias by the trial Judge in
favor of the Government that
the defendant was denied a fair
and impartial trial"
Verdict Challenged.
The motion contended that the
trial judge had "unduly restricted"
examination of witnesses. It also
contended the guilty verdict
against DR.. Peckham was con-
trary to evidence.
The motion also claimed that
the indictment was faulty in fail
ing to make any allegation that
an abortion was not necessary to
preserve life or health" A ply
sician has a right to perform an
abortion for either of those rea-
sons, the motion declared.
A second motion asked that DR..
Peckham be permitted freedom
on bail pending an appeal and
declared that an appeal will be
taken Immediately after any SEN
tence is imposed. No sentence date
for DR.. Peckham has been set.
Court attaches thought, how
ever, that the physician probably
would be sentenced Friday.

VIENNA. June 25.-The Aus

Hatcheries suddenly found busi-

Vienna's University Clinic tested
the claims. One doctor and IS
patients took the nine-day-old
eggs every day for month, first
thing in the morning.
The patients claimed they felt
"fresher" than before.
The clinics official verdict
"They don't appear to do any
good, and they don't appear to dc
any harm"
But the Ministry Of Social Wei

Military Court Studies Plea
I0f Six WACs in BrawI
BY the Associated Press

The Nations highest military
court today considered whether
questions of homosexuality should
have been barred from the court
martial of six WAC sergeants.
A ruling is expected in about
three weeks.
The six were given prison terms
and dishonorable discharges after
being convicted of beating up
another WAC following a beer
drinking spree last, October near
Camp Breckenridge, KY.
The women's attorney, William
j. Hughes, jr., told the United
States Military Appeals Court
yesterday he wanted to ask ques-
tions about homosexuality to de-
termine the credibility as a wit
ness of Pfc. Carol Kierce. victim
of the beating. The legal officer
of the court-martial ruled out
such questions.
1t. Bernard P. Feuerstein, Army
representative, told the court the
only question involved was
whether the six conspired to beat
up Miss Kierce because she had
been a witness in a summary
court-martial of another WAC.
He said the evidence supported
this.

Gen. Brink Dies of Wounds
Inflicted in Pentogon Office
Officials Believe
He Took Own Life:
Probe Continues

The fatal shooting of Brig. Gen.
Francis G. Brink at the Pentagon
last night was under investigation
today, but officials said it ap-
parently was suicide.
Three bullet wounds were
found in the chest of the general,
who had been assigned to Indo-
China. A pistol lay beside him.
District Coroner A. Magruder
Macdonald said the general ap-
parently shot himself late yes
terday afternoon. but he would
not issue an official verdict until
his investigation is completed.
Gen. Brink. So. who arrived
from the Far East for conferences
about two weeks ago, was found
in a third-floor Office not far
from the Office Of Gen. j. Lawton
Collins, Army chief of staff. Pen
tagon medical officers examined
Gen. Brink. He died en- route to
Walter Reed Army Hospital. Since
his death occurred in the District,
Metropolitan police took charge
of the inquiry.
Three Shots Are Fired.
The coroner said a single shot
was heard by officers in an ad-
joining Office. AS they rushed into
the generals Office, he said, two
more shots were fired in rapid
succession.
Friends said Gen. Brink had
been depressed but that the Indo-
China situation had nothing to
do with it. Secretary of State
Acheson said last week the Reds
had been checked in Indo- China
and that the United States would
soon increase its aid to that
country.
On a previous visit to Wash
ington last September, the general
spoke optimistically of the sue
cesses achieved by the French-led
forces in Indo-C China.

Drinks death.
Gen. Brink took his duties very
seriously and worked long hours
daily without regard to his
health" Gen. Collins said. "He
was devoted to duty and served
his country with distinction"
