One of the most conspicuous
faces in photographs and tele-

ceremonies went unidentified.
For those who still are Won

Harold B. Wiley, clerk of the
Supreme Court. whose job it was
to hold the Bibles on which Gen.
Eisenhower took the oath of
Office.
Because he was centrally To-

Hospital psychiatrist whose men,
tai examinations often have
p@ ed the way for accused men
to escape trial. today fatty re-
jected the idea that prisoners
are making a racket of sham
ming insanity.
In the past year, DR.. Gilbert
and his assistant, DR.. Amino
Perretti, have reported findings
Of "unsound mind" in two-thirds
of the cases they have examined.
The same period has been
marked by what DR.. Gilbert
himself refers to as a "tremen-
dous increase" in the number of
mental examinations requested
in criminal cases. DR.. Gilbert
said he had been noticing this
increase for several years.
Where there were only IL lu-
macy hearings in the whole of
the 1947 fiscal year, there were
21 such hearing last December
alone.
Increase in District Court.
He remarked that the increase
has shown up mostly in United
States District Court for the
District Of Columbia, where the
more serious cases are tried.
The procedure which has
aroused police indignation and
admittedly worried some judges
follows this pattern:
Defense attorneys claim their
clients are mentally unfit to
stand trial at this time and the
court orders an examination by
Drs. Gilbert and Perretti. II
these psychiatrists find the pris-
oner has a mental disorder, q
court hearing is held to estab-
lish whether the man is men,
tally competent to assist in his
own defense. If the court finds
he is mentally unfit, the prisoner
goes to st. Elizabeths Hospital
or some other institution until
he is reported fit for trial. AT
that point. he is supposed to
stand trial but the charges
against him are frequently dis
missed because Drs. Gilbert and
Perretti report he was of un-
sound mind when the crime was
committed.
Asked ow he accounted for
the increased number of requests
for mental examinations, DR.
Gilbert replied:
Perhaps defense attorneys
have become more sensitive tc
the fact their clients may have
a mental disorder"
Discounts Racket"
He hastened to add that he
did not believe the requests fol

Ire|an Renews Probe
OF Missing Narcotics
In Wetherbee Case

United States Attorney Charles
S. Irelan said today he is making
another attempt to unravel the
mystery of who. if any one. took
100 pounds of police-confiscated
marijuana.
The prosecutor disclosed he
already has talked to John r.
Wetherbee, 20, reputed owner of
the drug and a key figure in
the case. He said he intends to
talk again with the suspected
dope runner within the next
two days.
Mr.. Irelan refused to COM
ment on his talk with Wether-
bee. He had previously an
nounced, however, that he had
hoped to settle the marijuana
case through questioning of the
New Yorker.
Wetherbee skipped bond here
following his arrest in June,
1851. He was returned from
Richmond, Calf, where he gave
himself up December 81.
Unable to make a $4,000 bail,
Wetherbee is being held in Dis
trict Jail awaiting the setting of
a trial date.
At the time Of Wetherbee's
arrest, suspended Narcotics
Squad Chief 1t. H. H. Carper
announced a record seizure of
1913 pounds of marijuana from
Wetherbee'S auto.
Only 92.4 pounds of the mar
cotic was turned over to the
Federal narcotic disposal room.
Immediately after this became
known, 1t. Carper said he had
not weighed the seized marijuana
but rather had incorrectly esti-
| mated its weight.

al examinations were a

mental examinations were a

"Malingerers would be so rare
that it couldn't become a racket, :"
he said. "A malingerer would
have to be coached. and how
could he be coached? A mailing
erer does bizarre things not re-
lated to any recognized mental
disorder. A malingerer puts his
symptoms on a platter. A men
tai case does not discuss his
symptoms. They have to be
elected. A malingerer's symp-
toms are not consistent"
Asked how he felt about the
fact that the charges against
the prisoners are being dropped,
he said:
I've given it some thought.
but I'm not too concerned about
those considered medically re-
covered. The hospital can't hold
them, and if they were of un-
sound mind at the time of the
offense, they can't be convicted"
Duration Is Important.
In examining a prisoner to
see if he is mentally competent
to stand trial, DR.. Gilbert said.
he tries to establish the length
of the illness because he is fire.
quently asked if the mental ill
ness was present at the time Of
the crime.
1t is this question-and DR..
.Gilbert's affirmative reply-that
defense attorneys have been
using to persuade prosecutors to
drop the charges. Legal author
tiles contend the cases should
go to trial and that a judge and
jury should decide whether the
accused can be held responsible
for his acts at the time the
crime was committed.
Asked how he determines a
mans mental condition at the
time of a crime when he exam
ines him months later. DR.. Gil
bert said he asked the prisoner
how long the symptoms had been
going on. where the prisoner was
and under what circumstances
he heard voices or believed he
was being followed or prosecuted.
The past symptoms. he said,
must be consistent with the de-
fendant's current symptoms for
him to decide the man was suf-
fering from a mental disorder
| when the crime was committed.
