outs since Hamburg took over
their training several weeks
ago.
Hamburg was a fighting
champion himself when he was
competing In the Golden
Gloves. Lew won the light
weight championship in the
1888 tournament and shortly
thereafter turned to the pro-
fessional ranks.
Helped Set Gate Record
Washington boxing fans win
remember the highlight Of his
career. his tempestuous but
brief encounter with Henry
Armstrong at Uline Arena in
1914.
SArmstrong stopped Hamburg
In five rounds but anybody who
went five rounds with Arm
strong in that era was con-
sidered to be near the top Of
the ladder.
While Lew didn't beat Arm
strong. he was responsible for
an indoor box once record here
which still stands. Lew and
Armstrong drew a gross gate
Of slightly in excess Of s27, 900.
Hamburg works hard with his
proteges, even getting into the
ring and boxing with them. His
handiwork is noticeable in meny
instances since many Of his
charges adopt Lewis slam-hang
style.
Other Glovers who will CON-
pete for the Optimists are Glen
Adams. Subnovice welterweight:
Jerry Ramos. novice welter-
weight. and Russell Norman.
subnovtce featherweight.

on throughout many Of the
projects this group sponsors

Without specifically answer

erations bearing upon this

Il am here to register my

through"
The Justice Department has
instructed the United States
Attorneys Office here to for
ward the Pound papers for its
appraisal. Although there has
been no official comment, there
have been indications that the
Government will not oppose the
move to free Pound.
OverhOIser Affidavit
DR.. Overholser made his af-
fidavit more all-inclusive than
any previous such statement
even he can recall.
He stated that he would teS-
tify under oath that Pound is
and has been since he was first
examined here in l945 suffer
ing from paranOid state
which has rendered and now
renders him unfit to advise
properly with counsel or to par
ticipate intelligently and rea-
sonably in his own defense, and
that he was and is, and has
continuously been insane and
mentally unfit for trial"
If called to testify, he went
on, he would also state that
Pounds condition is permanent
and incurable. that it has not
and will not respond to treat
ment and that further atten-
ton under hospital conditions
would be of no avail and pro-
duce no beneficial results.
Ready to Testify
He said he was also ready to
testify that there is no like
lihood and indeed. in my con-
sidered judgment and opinion,
no possibility that the indict-
ment pending against Ezra
Pound can ever be tried be-
cause of the permanent and
incurable condition of insan-
ity of Ezra Pound, and that
Ezra Pound will die insane IN
st. ElizabethS Hospital without
trial Of the charges against
him if the indictment remains
pending"
In the usual psychiatrist's
report on mental fitness for
trial. there is no reference to
the prisoners mental condition
at the time of the alleged
crime. DR.. Overholser's aff1-
davit went into that, too.
He said he would testify I'M
der oath that from examina-
ton of Pound made in 1915.
within two or three years of
the crimes charged. there is
a strong probability that the
commission Of the crimes
charged was the result of in
sanity. and would therefore Sc
riously doubt that prosecution
could show criminal RESPONSE
bility even if it were hypotheti-
cally assumed that Ezra Pound
could regain sufficient sanity TO
be tried"
Would Favor Release
Stating he would recommend
Pounds release from the hospi-
tai If the indictment were
dropped. DR.. Overholser con-
cluded:
