Puerto Ricun
Appeal Fails

The U. s. Court Of Appeals
today upheld the conviction Of
-four Puerto Rican terrorists who
had been sentenced to Jail for
the wounding Of five Congress-
men in the House on March
/. 1854.
The ringleader, Lolita Lebron,
had been sentenced to serve 16
years and 8 months to SO years
on charges Of assault with a
dangerous weapon. Her three
male companions were sentenced
to rs to rs years on charges OF
assault with a dangerous weapon
and assault with intent to kill.
On appeal. the defense con-
tended that Federal Judge Alex
Iander Holtzoff erred in refusing
to order a psychiatric examina-
ton to determine the defendants
mental competency to stand trial.
But the appellate court brushed
this contention aside. The tri-
|bunal stated "the ground for the
motion (for mental examina-
tion) was slight indeed and
of little weight or Importance,
and SO was frivolous. 1t set forth
no particulars and can be char
acterized as o statement Of vague
impressions. ="

she had been visiting since Labor
Day, had written a note to the
girl about three weeks ago. It
was turned over to the police at
the time.
Spoke to Girl in Street
Each evening since then the
man had crossed over from his
home, almost directly across the
street. and looked up at the
windows of the home Of the
grandmother. Mrs. j. J. Hale, and
several times spoke to the girl
on the street, police were teld.
At 1918 last night Miss zeh-

young Funk. Detective Chap

this account Of what followed:

young Funk from behind in q

"What did you say about me
last Saturday." the yoker asked.
The youth replied he had said
nothing.
Il heard you said something
about me-" the man insisted.
There was q scufiie as young
Funk tried to defend himself.
The attacker told the youth to
"let go Of my arm"
Then there was the flash of
q pocket knife. An 8-inch cash,
about 11a inches deep, appeared
on the back and left side Of the
youths neck. The knife flashed
again. infiicting q. wound in the
abdomen.

The witness was Robert M
