A man convicted in March,
1858, of taking part in the hold
ups and robberies of three taxi
cab drivers was acquitted yes
terday by jury, upon retrial,
on grounds that he was of un-
sound mind at the time of the
crimes.
He is Michael Contee. jr., 26,
colored. Both trials were in the
u. s. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Each time
the three robbery cases were
consolidated for trial. Contee was
accused of committing one of
the robberies on December 81.
1851. and the others on jan
uary ! and 2, 1852.
His first conviction was set
aside last July by the U. S. Court
of Appeals for the District of
Columbia on the ground that a
Navy jacket and other objects
were illegally seized by police
in Contee's home and, therefore,
should have been excluded as
trial evidence. The appellate
court had also ruled that in any
event there should have been a
judicial determination of Con-
tees sanity before the first trial.
as the defendant had earlier
been adjudged to be of unsound
mind.
Psychiatrists Banned
At the retrial just ended, the
Government was prevented from
having two psychiatrists testify
as prosecution witnesses because
of a recent ruling by the ap-
pellate court in another case.
The appeals court ruling in the
other case held that psychiatrists
who have treated person ac-
cused of a crime cannot testify
at that persons trial without his
consent. To do so would vio-
late the confidential relation
ship between patient and ply
sician, the appellate court held.
The one psychiatrist who tes-
titled at the trial just ended was
DR.. Joseph L. Gilbert Of st.
Elizabeths Hospital, who was
called as witness by the de-
fense. DR.. Gilbert, who first
examined Contee more than O.
month after the crimes, testi-
fed he believed the defendant
was of unsound mind at the
time Of the crimes.
One of the two pSychiatristS
the Government could not have
testify at the retrial testified at
Contee's first trial that he could
not form any opinion as to the
defendants mental condition at
the time of the crimes. The
second psychiatrist the Govern
nnent wanted to introduce did not
testify at the first trial.
Victims Testify
Robbery victims identified
Contee and testified he acted
as If sane at the time of the
robberies. Police who had ques-
toned him shortly after the rob-
