RoIeof Mental
Disease Held
Jury Decision
Verdict Reversal
Clarifies Durhum
Rule TunkIe
By DONALD BACON
Star Staff Writer

The jury, not psychiatrists or
other experts, must ultimately
decide whether a defendant in
a criminal trial is suffering
from mental disease or defect,
the United States Court of APP
peals said today in reversing
the manslaughter conviction of
James Mcdonald.
The ruling clarifies a point
long under contention in cases
involving the so-called Durham
rule where the sanity of the
defendant is questioned.
Under the Durham rule. a
jury must find a defendant not
guilty because of insanity If
evidence is established beyond
a reasonable doubt that the
crime was the product" Of a
mental disorder, ~.,r
The appeals court. sitting as
a full nine Judge panel, also
suggested a definition Of '.men-
tai disease or Defect another
problem that has !. confused
courts, juries, lawyers and
pSychiatrists alike since the
Durham rule was established
eight years ago.
Inform Jury
"A jury should be told.p the
unsigned opinion said, that a
mental disease or defect in
cludes any abnormal condition
of the mind which substan-
tally impairs behavior control
Thus a jury would consider
testimony concerning the de-
velopment, adaptation and
Ifunctioning Of these processes
and controls"
The court conceded that it'
definition is broad and gen.
eral." Chief Judge Wilbur K
Miller disSented from the ma
jority opinion in part.
He praised the majority 70
establishing the jury's responSi
bility to judge mental compe
tency and for setting forth
judicial definition.
Heretofore, the two ele
ments have been sadly lackin
in this courts opinion" Judg
Miller said.
In reversing the Distric
Court, the appellate cour
found the trial Judge in erro
for not instructing the jur
properly as to it's alternative
under the Durham rule.

In Maryland, laws governing
bingo vary. Some counties pro-
hibit it but don't make much
of an effort to enforce the laws.
In most counties where it can
be played legally, it is restricted
to sponsorship by church OF
civic groups.
Bingo as private CONNER
cial enterprise fIourishes only
in Anne Arundel County.
Commercial bingo was legal
lied along with slot machines
in Anne Arundel in the 1940s
The size of the slot machine
and commercial bingo business
| is reflected by the collections
Of the county's gross receipts
tax on the two operations.
Ownership Overlaps
During the past fiscal year
the 2 per cent tax brought ii
$79, 1888 from commercial bingC
and $123,110 from slot ma
chimes. Thus, by the operators
own figures, bingo customers
poured approximately $4 mil
lion into the commercial par
lors. Slot machines brought ir
about $6,l50,00O.
Those leading the anti-gam-
bling drive say this is probably
on the conservative side be-
cause checking the accuracy OF
gross receipts figures turned in
is difficult.
Charles C. Hartman, chair
man of the citizens committee
said his group Jumps slots and
commercial bingo together be-
cause both are legalized
gambling devices in the county
and because there is consider
able overlapping Of ownership
The citizens committee has
been careful not to put charity
bingo into the same category
it has placed the commercial
variety.
