A washington attorney last
night renewed q plea for two

the backlog Of 1900 cases now
pending in the Districts Juve-
nile Court"
The attorney. Mrs. Dovey
Roundtree. made the appeal
during q panel discussion OF

District subcommittee rejected
a Senate bill calling for the
appointment of the two addi-
tional judges. Instead. the COM
mittee will propose its operation

pointment of another Municipal
Court Judge to handle over
crowded dockets, and the reduc-
ton from 10 to Is Of the age

Fails to Bar Guilty Plea

Police can use an accom-
plice's inadmissible confession
to get a guilty plea from a de-
fendant. the United States
Court of Appeals here ruled
yesterday.
The unanimous decision up
held the conviction of George
A. Watts, who had been SEN
fenced to serve 7 to 81 years
in prison for housebreaking.
Watts had contended that he
was improperly persuaded to
confess and subsequently
pleaded guilty when confronted
with a confession by co-defend-
ant John Trilling. Trilling's s
confession later was ruled in
admissible in court because it
was obtained by police in vio-
lation of the Supreme Courts
Mallory decision.
The appellate court ignored
defense arguments that Watts
had been illegally detained by
police for 81 hours before his
arraignment. The defense had
argued that the Mallory rule
requires arraignment as quickly
as possible.
Watts was arrested at l pm.
