Sanity Rulings
70 Be Studied
By Bar Group
Problems Arising
From Recent Court
Edicts to Be Probed

The District Bar Associations
mental health committee has de-
cided to make a thorough in
vestigation Of the obvious prob
lens" created by recent court
decisions on lunacy. COMMITTEES
Chairman Hugh McGee said to-
day.
The committee. he said, will
study the cases affecting mental
illness decided during the sum-
mer by the United States Court
of Appeals for the District Of
Columbia.
The decisions change the de-
fense of insanity and make it
possible for a defendant to get
a mental examination any time
he asks for it, as long as the re-
quest is made in good faith.
Rover Backs Study.
United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover has announced that he
will urge the Districts Council
on Law Enforcement to study
the effects of the decisions from
the point of view of whether
new legislation is needed.
Mr.. MCGEE said the bar as
sociation is as interested as the
prosecutors Office in protecting
society. His committee, he said.
believes that pleas of insanity
will be made more frequently
than in the past and the deci-
sions could well result in many
more persons being found not
guilty by reason of insanity
His committee. he said, is in
tereSted in the suggestion made
by DR.. Winfred Overholser,
superintendent of st. Elizabeths
Hospital, for law here to insure
that any person accused of mur-
der and found not guilty by
reason of insanity is committed
to mental hospital for his
natural life. This suggestion is
similar to a law in Massachusetts,
where a person so committed
can be released only by the Gov
ernor after the director of men,
tai health finds the patient is
no longer a danger to the COM
munity.
Proposes Psychiatric Clinic.
Mr.. Rover has proposed q
psychiatric clinic in the courts
similar to the one in Baltimore.
/ The committee heard a re-
port yesterday from Assistant
United States Attorney John
Conliff on the problems already
encountered under the decisions
and the ones anticipated.
Mr.. MCGEE said the committee
expects to hear from Mr.. Rover
and DR.. Overholser at its next
session. He added that, if the
Council on Law Enforcement
does decide to make a study,
his committee will work closely
with it.

Beard Defense

0fU.S Witness
WrungIe HiehIiehts
Closing Arguments
OF Tux Trial
By Riehord Rodgers
Sicr Stoff conespcndert

BALTIMORE. Oct. il. - A
wrangle over a Government wit
ness veracity highlighted clos
ing arguments today in gambler
Sam Boards income tax evasion
trial.
The jury is expected to get the
case this afternoon.
Beard is accused of owing $1.4
million for money he failed to
report in 1914, 1916 and 1947.
Last Friday. the Government
produced a surprise witness,
Bernard Nimro, Fairhaven, Md.
He carried two ledgers he said
showed Boards huge profits from
a single horse book and numbers
operation in Washington.
Nimro Called Liar.
Thomas K. Kenney, Boards
top lawyer. today declared Nimro
sis just a plain unmitigated liar"
II don't think a dog ought to
be convicted on any story out
of that mans mouth" the de-
fense lawyer said.
George Cochran Doub, the
prosecutor. cried: How bold,
how braZen, how ruthless can
defense be?"
He said he felt physically sick
earlier this week when the de-
fenSe accused Mr.. Nimro of doc
toring the ledger in a shakedown
attempt against Mr.. Beard.
There wasn't one bit of testi-
mony to support such an out
rageous accusation" Mr.. Doub
said.
Mr.. Kenney, who began his
closing argument yesterday in
Federal Court here. says Gov
ernment prosecutors have moth
ing to go on-that their case is
based on phony figures.
Challenges Figures. d.
The lawyer says the Govern
ment has merely produced a
mass of checks, cash transactions
and bank figures, that do not
take into account the money
Beard had to fork over in bets
he lost. -
Testimony has brought out
that Beard handled hundreds of
thousands of dollars in the
three-year period now under
scrutiny. The defense says
those figures do not include
what Beard had to pay out when
he backed the wrong horse, or
when a customer hit the right
number.
Mr.. Doub, said in his summa-
ton that Boards lawyers paid
the prosecution a splendid
tribute because they did not at
tempt to dispute F"99 and
99/100th per cent of the evidence
we have submitted"
Claim Losses. T..
But Boards lawyers cling to
the claim that the roly-poly
Washingtonian's losses are not
shown in the impressive charts
the Government has drawn.
Mr.. Kenney keeps pounding
away that a 100000 deal in
cashed checks does not mean
any real income at all. Beard
just cashed a lot of checks for
friends, says MIR. kenney. And
even if he eashed them for gam
blers who. were paying him off,
Beard lost the money III other
bets. the lawyer argues.
The main defense argument is
that the Government has not
proved its case-that the Internal
Revenue Service has come up
with figures that don't mean any
thing. except that Beard handled
q lot of money.
Protects Winners.
Mr.. Kenney said Beard has
not turned over his own records
because revenue agents would be
able to read them, learn who won
money from Beard and hunt out
the winners and harasS them for
income tax payments.
The lawyer said the prosecu-
tion has been running around In
circles, changing it's case right
up to the end of the trial. He
said the Government overlooked
$4,000 in checks when it re-
