Man Cleared
In Auto Theft

A Federal Court jury acquit-
ted a man of an auto theft
charge yesterday after the Gov
ernment's trial prosecutor gave
support to the defendants in
sanity plea.
The jury. after only a few
minutes elaboration, handed
down a verdict in the case of
James w. Almond, who has
been a patient at st. Elizabeths
Hospital off and on since the
fall of 1855.
Almond was admitted to
the hospital originally as the
result of a civil commitment.
In April, 1856. the hospital
granted him a conditional re-
lease when his condition inn
proved. He was required to
report back for periodic ex-
aminations and continue to
take tranquilizing drugs.
Failed to Return
However. Almond didn't re-
turn. Hospital authorities get
ting no bad reports about him,
issued an order discharging
him as a social recovery" in
June. 1856.
A month later. Almond took
q car without permission from
Shreves Brothers Garage in the
1900 block Of Twelfth street
NV. He was arrested and sent
back to st. Elizabeths after a
mental examination.
Last month he asked for a
habeas corpus hearing. con-
tending he was competent to
stand trial.
At the hearing. DR.. j. T.
Cody, st. Elizabeths psychia-
trist. told Judge Alexander
Holtzoff that Almond still was
mentally i'll.
However. the Judge decided
Almond should stand trial,
since he seemed to understand
the charges against him and
to be able to assist a lawyer
In his defense.
Called Mentally iii
In the trial, which ended yes
terday. Assistant United States
Attorney Joseph Harmon told
the jury Almond committed the
crime because he was mentally
III at that time. DR.. Cody, called
as a Government witness.
backed up this assertion by the
prosecutor
Roy Garvin. Almonds attor-
ney offered no testimony. But
he did ask Judge Edward M.
Curran to direct the jury TO
bring in a verdict Of not guilty
by reason Of insanity.
The Judge refused this re-
quest on grounds Almond had
offered two defenses: That he
did not take the car. or--if the
jury felt he did take 1.-THE was
not guilty by reason Of insanity.

dent Eisenhower said he want
ed.
These include reducing the
number of scholarships from
$4,000 to 10000 a year and
STIMULATING they shall be based
wholly on need. The bill now
provides that the first $500 Of
each scholarship will be an
award, with UP to $500 more
given on the basis Of need. Rep.

has said he will offer an amend
ment to prohibit discrimination

Foreign Medal
Display
By House Group


The House Foreign Affairs
Committee has voted to allow
Harry S. Truman, a colonel on
the Army's retired list, to wear
a medal from Liberia.
The committee acted by ap-
proving a Senate-paSsed bill au-
thorizing scores of retired
United States Government per-
sonnet to accept and wear dec
orations awarded them by for
eign countries.
This would make the former
President eligible to wear Lii
beria's Centennial Medal
awarded after Mr.. Humans re-
tirement in 1858.
In the medal-collecting de-
partment, the former COM
mander-in-chief ran second to
his former military aide. Harry
H. Vaughan.
Retired as a major general
at the same time as Mr.. Tru-
man. Gen. Vaughan was listed
in the bill for eight medals
from countries ranging from
Argentina to Holland.
The House committee swelled
the list a bit by adding two
medals for its former chair
man, James P. Richards, Demo-
crat Of South Carolina. Mr..
Richards was offered the hon
ors from Spain and Greece
after he left Congress to be-
come President Eisenhower's
special Middle East Ambassa-
dor.
