fort to get the Court of Appeals
to render a decision on such re-

Mr.. Conliff said that if what
ever judge gets the Stephenson

the Government will dismiss the

The Government will then ask
the court to deal expressly with
the question of whether the Fed

Jury trials.

COPENHA GEN, Dec. II
(NANA) .-Europe's most un-
usual train hasn't moved an
inch in three years. Its seven
cars have no wheels. Its paSsen-
gers are invariably penniless, des-
titute or drunken men.
Danes call it "the Heaven Ex-
press"
This train" parked neal
Copenhagen's main railway sta
ton, is a social service organiza-
ton devoted to helping men
who have no homes, no money
no nothing" according to its
founder, Pastor Niels Stampe OF
the Apostle Church here.
Like the Salvation Army OF
church skid-row missions in the
United States. the purpose OF
the Heaven Express is to set men
on their feet. But like most
things Danish, the job here is
with an unusual flair.
For financing, the Heaven Ex-
press depends mainly on semi
benefit performances by
Scandinavian movie stars in a
Copenhagen theater. There the
nations most glamorouS work for
the nations least glamorous.

! Motion Kept Open
! Judge Laws added that he was
keeping her habeaS corpus mo-
ton open so her lawyers or the
Government may move at any
time to make the release uncon-
ditional.
She was committed to the hos
pital october 80 under the Dis
trict's insanity detention law.
Since the jury acquitted her on
grounds Of insanity. the law re-
CURED her to be kept in custody
until it was determined she was
of sound mind. This would be by
doctors, prosecutor and the court.
Mrs. Haynes Is the first per-
son to be released under the Dis
.trict's mandatory commitment
law for those found not guilty
by reason of insanity.
The law provides two forms OF
release-unconditional release OF
conditional release with the
terms set by the judge. In the
Haynes case, Judge Laws fol-
lowed the recommendation OF
Dr.. Winfred S. Overholser, SUI
perintendent of St. Elizabeths
for a conditional release de-
pendent on Mrs. Haynes treat
ment by a psychiatrist.
Lawyers told Judge Laws to-
day that both her own and the
hospitals mental experts agreed
she is not insane and not a
threat to society.
Cooperation Praised
/ Judge Laws complimented the
beaming woman and her lawyers
Harry Ahern and Hugh MCGEE
because she has co-operatec

trial. Dr.. Albert Marland. re-

No testimony was taken from the
stand today.
Mrs. Haynes today told re-
porters a story different from
her lawyers earlier claims that
she spent sleepless nights sur

women.

it was a little trying talking tc
patients you couldn't under

! She said she is eager to hear
whether she will get her job
back at the Arlington Post
Office. She filed a petition Friday
for reinstatement there.
Brief misunderstanding
There was a brief misunder-
standing concerning whether she
was free Immediately or had tc
lgo through dismissal procedure
at st. Elizabeths. One of hel
women hospital guards thought
she was still in custody. Mr.
Conliff assured the guard Mrs
Haynes was free to go anywhere
she pleased.
! Mrs. Haynes said she would
return to st. Elizabeths only
long enough to collect her cloth
ing and other personal posses
sions. then would head home
to her children for a private
celebration.
/ Mrs. Haynes case came under
the insanity commitment law
because she claimed she was
out of her mind when she killed
