but he then ruled that this does
not remove the prohibition Of
statements relating to guilt.
The opinion criticized Judge
John j. Siricca. who presided
at Edmond's trial for erron-
eously assuming the 1855
amendment opened the door to
statements about both insanity
and guilt.
Judge Bazelon added:
"ETad he considered that
question, he would have
reached the only conclusion
possible from the record-that
the statement bore on guilt and
not on insanity, and therefore.
was not made admissible by the
amendment"
Discharge Recommended
Other criticism was leveled at
admission Of evidence showing
Edmonds' father was convicted
some Is years ago for the MUIR
der Of the Marines mother in
Georgia. The father had
pleaded insanity, too. The APP
|pelate opinion said this was
purely irrelevant to any issues
In the trial"
Other evidence in the trial
showed that q Navy psychia-
|trist had recommended two
days before the murder Of Mr..
|Lefebvre that Edmonds should
be discharged from the Ma
rine Corps because Of "emo-
tional instability"
The trial prosecutor then
brought out the fact Of the
fathers unsuccessful insanity
plea.
Edmonds. now at Lorton
Reformatory. Is serving an s.
to-25-year sentence for the
murder, running concurrently
with a 2-to-6-year sentence for
the theft Of Mr.. Lefebvre's car
after the crime.
In reversing the murder con-
viction and ordering q new trial
for Edmonds, the appellate
decision also brushed aside the
auto theft conviction, although
this is not mentioned in the
opinion.

jet fighter planes collided to-

the hospital of this Royal
Canadian Air Force base. Five
persons were killed and 10 in

field.
Both planes belonged to the
