APPEAL

Continued From First Page
directed verdict Judge Nc
Laughlin had stated:
Unless the employer is put
upon notice by some fact which
would cause him to make an
inquiry as to the mentality,
mental health or habits of the
proposed employee then. in the
courts opinion no burden rests
upon a proposed employer to
make an examination as to such
phases of the proposed en-
playe'e life, habits and acti-
vitieS. :"
OF this. the appellate opinion
stated:
g. it was not simply a mat
ter of whether or not Porter was
insane.
Supervision Lack Cited
1T was a matter of whether
or not, in the absence of any in
veStigation whatever, any man,
Porter or anyone else. sane or in
sane, should have been employed
as here, or without any super
vision whatever, or the attempt
ed exercise of any control over
his conduct. should have been
permitted by the landlord to
have access to the apartment
of this woman tenant, living
alone and unprotected"
1t had been testified that two
weeks before the murder, Mr..
Hickey saw Porter outside an
Air Force building near National
Airport cleaning paint brushes.
Although Hickey did not
know Porter and knew nothing
about him, he asked Porter if
he would like to make some
extra money" the opinion re-
cited. 1t continued to describe
how Porter and Nh. Hickey SUBJ
sequently agreed on a price and
Porter was put to work.
Two Others Hired
The court told how Mr.. Hickey
had hired, through Porter two
other men without any investi-
CATION and went on to say:
"On the day Miss Whitman
met her death there had been
employed at the apartment a hall
man, one Reyes who some six
months to IL months earlier had
been engaged by Hickey. MI
Hickey had made an investiga-
ton of Keyes before hiring him,

discovered he had been convicted
of a robbery and had recently
been released from the peniten-
tiary and was on parols."
Later in its opinion, the court
stated that while a landlord
does not become "a guarantor
Iof the safety of his tenant. i.
If he knows, or in the exercise
of ordinary care ought to know,
of possibly dangerous situation
and fails to take such steps as
an ordinarily prudent person, in
view Of existing circumstances.
would have exercised to avoid
INJURY to his tenant, he may be
liable"
The court suggested that at a
new trial the defendants might
wish to offer evidence explain
ing what steps they took Ito
select a trustworthy servant or,
having selected Porter, what fac
tors they relied upon to obviate
the need for supervision over
him.
The defendants previously had
argued they did not have to
take such steps until they had
been put on notice that Porter
was insance.

provided for cleaning this his
toric waterway.
After hearing debate from
the House Gallery. Assistant
Surgeon General Mark D. Hollis
of the Public Health Service,
who is one of the two United
States Commissioners on the
Interstate Commission on the
Potomac River. predicted the
measure would be helpful here.
There is real need to take
positive action on the very Seri-
Gus Potomac pollution problem
in the Washington Metropolitan
Area" he said. THE commission
expects to pursue this vigorous
Ily."
Serious Consideration
Regarding the colloquy on the
House floor between Mr.. Blat-
nick and the two nearby legisla-
tors. DR.. Hollis said there is no
question but what the commits
sion will give serious considera-
ton to the suggestions of Mr.
Hyde, Mr.. Broyhill and Others"
In response to Mr.. Broyhill's
question during debate, Mr.
Blatnik said there was authority
in the bill for the Public Health
Service to cooperate in a survey
of the Potomac River problem
by investigations and research.
Mr.. Broyhill had introduced a
| bill authorizing such study.
Mr.. Hyde inquired whether
States operating under a COM
pact could amend such compactS
to take advantage of any pro-
visions of the bill.
Mr.. Blatnik said 81 know of
mo reason why they cannot
amend or improve them. A pro-
vision in the bill is to encourage
them to enter into those things. F."
Compact Cited
Mr.. Hyde referred further to
"a tri-State compact between
New York, New Jersey and Con-
necticut. which have an enforce
ment provision to compel anti
pollution action.
When Mr.. Blatnik agreed such
enforcement was effective and
there was an enforcement pro-
vision in the House bill, Mr..
Hyde later expressed gratif1ca-
ton on the point.
! He urged that the Interstate
Commission on the Potomac
should mo longer be timid about
increasing its powers" Under
present law, the commission has
no enforcement power.

In making his one-hour charge

United States of the faithful and
unbiased judgment of Connolly

He told the jury to disregard

that Connellyand Caudle con-
spired to commit bribery. perjury,

II have eliminated these
charges from your considera-
