Man Is jailed
On 10Th Charge
Of Exposure
Had Been Released
After Commitment
AS Psychoputh

A 34-year-old man, charged
20 times with indecent exposure.
was sent to Jail yesterday for the
second time since his discharge
from a mental hospital where he
spent nearly four years commit
ted as a sexual psychopath.
Julian w. Foreman, of the
800 block of l. street NV, COM
mitted to st. Elizabeth's Hospi-
tai in May. 1949. under the Mil
Ter Act, was sentenced yesterday
by Municipal Court Chief Judge
Leonard p. Walsh to 80 days in
jail plus $500 fine or an addi-
tional 80 days-the maximum
sentence for this misdemeanor.
Foreman pleaded guilty to ex-
posing himself before a woman
in the 1000 block of p street
NV. Sunday morning.
Although the record presented
by Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Albert S. Povich to Judge
Walsh yesterday did not show it,
The Star learned that this is the
second time Foreman has been
jailed since discharge "as suffi-,
GENTLY recovered" by st. Eliza
beth's Hospital.
Sentenced 16 Times.
The record showed that Fore
mans first sentence for indecent
exposure was $25 or Is days in
May, 1912. He was sentenced Is
times afterwards before he was
committed to st. Elizabeths by a
jury in the United States Dis
trict Court for the District of
Columbia in May, 1949.
Foreman was committed UNI
der the Miller Act which pro-
vides for the confinement of
sexual psychopaths.
DR.. Addison Duvall, assistant
superintendent of st. Elizabeths,
said Foreman was treated as
sex psychopath at the hospital
and was released February %,
1853 as sufficiently recovered"
Police and court records show
that Foreman was again arrested
and charged with indecent ex-
posture September 81. 1858. only
seven months later. The Munich
pal Court sent him to the Dis
trict General HOSPITAL for men
tai observation, records show.
However. police reported. Fore
man escaped dressed in white
pajamas from the hospital
shortly afterwards.
Given 80 Days.
Foreman's name next appears
on the police blotters last May
% when he was arrested again
for indecent exposure: The
Municipal Court sentenced him
to 80 days in Jail.
He was released and charged
again Sunday.
Judge Walsh said this morn
ing that Foreman told him his
exhibitionism is caused by alco-
hol. The judge quoted Foreman
as saying he spent only two
months at st. Elizabeths where,
he continued, doctors agreed the
cause of his trouble was alcohol.
Judge Walsh said Foreman
agreed he should not be walking
the streets in his condition.
The jurist. who did not know
Foremen spent four years at st.
Elizabeth's, also added that he
did not know why the defend
ant was not again charged under
the Miller Act.
Mr.. Povich said that there
would have been such a posi-
bility if the records had been
more accurate and complete.
"Not Alcoholic Clinic"
DR.. Duval1 declared that
should Foreman be returned by
jury to the hospital, doctors
would have to re-examine him
to determine whether or not his
condition is such that the symp-
toms are caused only by alcohol
or by sexual pathology of some
sort"
He added, I'VE do not usually
conf1ne patients to keep them
away from alcohol. Our problem
is to treat mental symptoms but
not to act as an alcoholic clinic"
