sons father. who was horn near
Glasgow, Scotland, had the FORE
sight to move to County Kill

Mr.. Robertson has promised
to honor the traditions of the
picturesque. mountain-ringed
lakes. He said he thought the

pSychiatrist, testified today that
one of the seven Negro soldiers
on trial for the alleged rape OF
a teen-age German schoolgirl
has the mentality of a 71a year
old child.
DR.. James l.. Hedlund, at
tached to the Army's 9th Gen.
eral Hospital in Frankfurt, said
he examined Pvt. Clifton Franks,
81, of Omaha. Nebr., one of the
defendants.
The doctor took the stand
shortly before the prosecution
introduced a statement by
Franks describing the events OF
the night of last July 9.
The 15-year-old girl, whose
name was withheld, testified ear
lier that she was raped five times
by several American soldiers in
a woods near Bamberg where
she had gone for a walk with a
23-year-old student. She said
1t was her first date.
The quiet-mannered blond girl
was taken home in an ambulance
yesterday after breaking down
on the stand for the second time
during the general court-martial
Doctors said she was exhausted
and nervous. She is due to re-
turn to the stand Tuesday
Franks said in his written state
ment that he and some other
soldiers came across the Ger
man couple in the woods and de-
cided to attack the girl. The
statement was introduced over
defense objections.
All seven defendants have
pleaded innocent. They face a
maximum sentence of death if
they are convicted.
