SPF.CIFIC ALL7GiTIC.T: That the aforementioned earission, duly signed and witnessed, constituted evidence vital to petitioner's defense against the crime for which he was later indicted; that according to court-appointed counsel Joseph A. Ce_lania), the Federal Bureau of Investigation denied on his inquiry, before the first trial on the merits, that it was in possession of such evidence or that petitioner bad ever gives its i.,-;Lg agents such evidence; that if counsel's allegation is feet, the F.B.I. kmoerily withheld such evidence before and at the first trial on the merits; that counsel, at petitioner's second trial, having been provided with a copy of the eforem=tioned edo..-Ission or stat=ent per the court's order, refused 4.1-te.A-t-anzy--

-e.vi n. to nske any attempt to have the original introduced into evidence, despite petitioner's insistence he do so; that counsel's refusal amounted to suppression of evidence vital to petitioner's defense,for the court would surely have permitted the truth to be introduced; that had such evidence net been withheld or suppressed at either trial on the merits, but had it been introduced together with other evidence that was withheld or suppressed, it probably would have been so persuasive to reasonable members of the juries as to have Causal them to return a verdict of acquittal; that at the very least, introduction of such evidence at either trial on the merits or on appeal therefrom, would have opened the door for petitioner to t.tify as to the truth in his case, a right then and ever later denied hint.-that--by-the-foregoing-

Petitioner never received an answer to his letter.

• At a hearing held on January 24, 1964, the court, on the goverr_ment's motion, -ordered petitioner co=itted to the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners, Springfield, Miesouri, for a period of psychiatric observation to determine his mental

-c=petency to stand trial. Petitioner cent-ended his military and Veterans Administration records would prove he had no psychosis. •

B'. Ere Rallis, that he had heard Petitioner was a communist and that he despised everythine petitioner stood for, but that he would still represent him if he wanted his aseistaace. Petitioner did not feel he could safely go to trial with such counsel. The court permitted Mr. Perrenot to withdraw from the case and another El Paso laAyer, Mr. Joseph A. Calamia, was eubstithted in his stead.

At a hearing held in the afternoon of the same data, April 20, l964, Mr. Calamia reported tothe court the petitioner was refusing to cooeerate in the matter at obtaining what he termed "complete psychiatric reports." Petitioner denied any mental disability to,the district court judge and said he had already bean foujd mentally competent to stand trial.

-MUTH SPECIFIC ALL That prior to the aforesaid hearigz, counsel, Er. Calamia, had asked petitioner to sign papers authorizing the Veterans Administration , to forward his medical records to the court (through)! the United States Attorney who was prosecuting petitioner's case); that petitioner refused, advising counsel that though he had been ararded a 64% disability rating by the V.A., it W13 not for a mental condition and that neither the Army or the V.A. had ever found him to be afflicted with a nervous disorder; that petitioner did not then or ever later rant to raise the issue of insanity or mental incompetency as a defense against the crime charged, and that he so informed his counsel; that petitioner apprised counsel that the defense of insanity or mental incompetency was contrary to the truth and facts involved in his case; that petitioner apprised counsel, pointedly Ur. Rallis, before Mr. Calamie's appointment,of the reasons why he had wanted himself arrested by federal authorities on September 20, 1963, and why he had subjected himself to arrest in the menner he did; that such.reasons related to a conspiracy to murder the former Chief Executive of the United States, President John F. Kennedy.

At the same hearing, held in the afternoon of April 20, 1964, petitioner stated to the court he would not cooperate with his appointed counsel in so far as any defense denended on mental incompetency, citing that sucti a defense was centrary and' repugnant -to the truth in his case. The upshot of this was that the court allowed both" Ur. Calamia and Mr. Rallis to withdraw as ,counsel, at their request. The presiding judge, the Hanorable Homer T. Thornberry, instructed that petitioner ',will prepare his own defensin and stand trial the following Monday morning.

After the hearing ended, petitioner was returned to the El Faso County Jail, while then former counsel deposited all of petitioner's defense naterial'(inoluding 'emitten statements and adviZements.petitioner had given qpunsel, and photostats of documents petioner had paid for at prior Counsel's 454r) with the U.S. Deputy nerehel, whose office was in the Federal Building. Petitioner was told he could not take this material with him to his.tank in the jaile

THIRTEENTH SFICIFIC ALLEGATIOUT That as a result of the court's instructions, aforesaid, netitioner was coerced by the sentencing court to accept, cooperate in, and abide b7e the defense cf insanity or mental incompetency as his defense at the fire: trial on the merits, in that he was not given sufficient time to preaare a prcper defense after abrupt notification he was to stand trial without counsel; tnat, all other factors set aside, under the conditions of petitioner's confinement it was virtealle impoeeible for him to adequately prepare a defense in the short time allotted; that the the defense of insanity or mental incompetency was contrary to the truth: ih e caeieet ee with, and opposed to the facts responsible for petitioner's conduc-tin the bane en September 20, 1963; that such defense was inadequate and ineffeetiea when and ever let= and resulted in petiticner's conviction at both trials on the merits.

in the defense of insanity or mental incompetency for the,reasone already stated. Br. Calm .aand Mr. Bailie were reappointed by the court as petitioner's counsel.

At a hearing held on April 23, 1964, a continuance was granted counsel in which to prepare for trisl.,

On Vey 4, 1954, the case went to trial. = -e:eete).F. ereFer6eefal)

Briefly, by prosecution testimony, the record alleges that late in the afternoon-of September 20, 1963, petitioner went into the State National Bane, El Pain, Texas. He approached a lady teller and asked weere traveler checks =an be obtained. Ha was directed to another cage. Upon reaching the proper case he asked that lady teller fat one hundred dollars worth of travelers cheek.; in ten dollar denceiraticne. Allegedly the teller moved to get thee, whereupon petitioner was alleged to have zeid, "Lady this is a real gun." She immediately ran,.alleeedly, and petitioner took several steps away from the cage, fired two shots into the wall at a height of about seven feet, not aiming at the teller, and allegedly ran out of the hank. Ha was falcwed be a uniformed police officer who was acting as a guard inside the bank (guarding a display of currency, mostly counterfeit). Petitioner was, without gliga difficulty, arrested at a time when he.allegedly was about to leave in an autemobile he was alleged to have left parked near the bank.

Petitioner testified in his own behalf. He denied he had really intended e. attempted to rob the bank. He denied hs had said, "Lady, this is a real gen," or that he had run out of the bank. One witness, the vice-presider.t of the tank, sebstantisted his latter denial. Petitioner alleges this witness wee ateet to state, "I thought it was joke," when the prosecution, having been informed of meat ha was going to state, Jumped up Imeedietely and objected. Petitioner was asked hy his on counsel if he adhered to the coemunist philosophy, to communist teachings, but he declined to aeseer on the grounds that it might incriminate him. He contended that he did what he did in the bank not for robbery but .41mwe in order that he might be arrested by federal authorities. He refused to elaborate on why he wanted to e arrested kother then to say ha thought it would provide a solution, however teeperery or immediate, to a problem he considered at the time to be an unbearable problem, with which he was confronted. He said that before he went to the bank he was in the process of leaving the United States permanently, by way of VOX/X !lexico City. He insisted that if acquitted he planned to leave, because he had had weary basic constitutional right violated. , •

Mr. bite was present at the prosecutor's table, tut did not testify. Coereel refeeed to put Mr. White en the stand, despite petitionerts insistence he do so. As a meteer of fact, no agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation testified at either trial on the merits.

10. rightful defense, he was convicted at said trial; that counsel, by such intiaidaticn, denied petitioner adequate and effective legal assistance since the purpose of a jury trial is to bring out the whole truth in order that the jury itself, and only the jury, may accept it or reject it, and render a just verdict accordingly,

FIFTEENTH SPECIFIC ALLEGATION: That counsel, by asking petitioner during his testimony if he adhered to the communist philosophy, to cemmuniet teacanes, without ascortaining beforehand what his answer would be, so abused standard prcceeere and so conceivably Prejudiced petitioner's cause, as to influence the jury to re ere a verdict of guilty; that counsel, both during the first trial on the merits and in preparation thereof, well demonstrated his intent to raise only the issue of in=sanity or aentai incompetency as the 400 primary avenue of defense, when there eeested in fact and to his knouledge a different and accurate gowi primary avenue cf defense, that of the truth; that counsel advised petitioner before the first trial on the merits that he did not expect to win accuittal for petitioner at said trial, but that he would win a reversal on appeal.

On May 6, 1964, petitioner was convicted by the jury on both counts of the indictment.

.On May 8, 1964, petitioner was interviewed by both counsel at the it Faso County Jail. Mr. Calamia stated, "I told you, Richard, I was going to have to win this case on appeal," or words similar and to that effect. Petitioner made reference to a letter ha had maned to the court prior to the trial, in April 1964 (e=at data unknown), which later was 44e.t/A? read into the record by the judge, and rhich requeseed that he ea- examined by a Veterans Administraticn psychiatrist and given an electroencephalogram (EEG) teat. Petitioner also referred to Dr. Edwin A. Zeinstein, a consultant in neurology and psychiatry, who conducted awaninateoes of petitioner in 1955 when he was a patient at lealter Reed Army Hospital recovering frcn injuries sustained in the crash of a military aircraft.' Petitioner/ had, en or about April 23, 1964, provided counsel with Dr. Weinstein's name and address and the information that petitioner had —aufferred a negligible anaant of organic brain damage as the result of a head injary received in the plane crash,"Plus the information that wails :env medical authorities had determined such brain damage to be negligeble, Er. Teeinsteir. thecrized it to be'nore serious.

Petitioner asked counsel Why, if he was so bent on showing the 4ery-that petitioner was insane, had he not arranged for the EEG test petitioner had reeeestee, . and why had he not contacted Dr. Weinstein?

Counsel answered that he thought petitioner had, at the time, been treeing to prove there was "nothing mane with him.

. Be that as it way, petitioner alleges the foregoing to be significant mi=en, as will be eeen, the element of organic brain damage was not raised mntil petit±cne:0,7 hearing on a notion for a new trial (at which Dr. Feinstein was subpoenaed and t.est!!;ia.:1) which in turn, thcegh the motion was denied, provided substantial grounds for eWe:ea;e: petitioner's first appeal.

Petitioner alleges the foregoing to be more significant when it is ccesedeeee that the element of brain damage (alleged by counsel .on appeal, and through ceeeeee; perjured testimony of petitioner and perjured testimony of Ur. Rallis, to have been concealed by petitioner from counsel until after the first trial) materialieed iet: the so-called ecrucial evidemee newly discovered," which became the sole ere ?a. for the reversal of petitioner's first conviction.

£L. PetitionereeSsealleges the foregoing to be even =ore significant where it is considered that later, prior to the second trial on the merits, as will be seen, intensive psychological testing and electrcencephalciraphic examination. of petitioner at the U.S.- Medical Center for Federal Prisoner, failed to shear any evidence ef brain da=age. . _

- SISTEENTH SFECIFIC.ALLWATION: That eforenenticned court-appointed counsel, Isy.bie own design and for his own purpose, neglected to initiate action which could have raised the so—called newly discovered evidence at petitioner's first trial; that if such evidence could convince the appelata court to reverse petitioner's first conviction, it also could haire, conceivably, teen persuasive encush to cause the first trial jury to render a verdict of acquittal (rerardless of the final outcome of the brain dprege theory); that counsel deliberately lied in the notion for a new trial and in his brief submitted on the first apeeel, when he stated cr indicated that it was petitioner who had poncealed the facts leading to the "discovery" of the "new evidtaiTT-Uit as a result of counsel's uneruthe with reseect thereto, nr. Paliisr perjured testimony at the hearing on the notion for a new trial, and petiticeer's cwn coerced, peejured testimony at such hearing (supported 'cy Dr. Weinstein's testimony, though in good faith), the appelate court erred in finding that the newly discovered evidence was concealed by petitioner; that if the element of brain damage had been Introduced as evidence at petitioner's first trial; and -had ha been acquitted as a result, later on, at the hearing on the moticn for a new trial, petitioner would not have been =aneuvered into the position where he was coerced to perjure himself, nor would he have found it necessary before the second trial to submit to medical examination (as will be seen, through intimidation) which finally dissipated the so—called newly discovered evidence completely; that had any of the foregoing not occurred, petitioner.would not new be a convicted and sentenced prisoner.

Prior to the hearing on the motion for a new trial, counsel, !ir. Caltmia, inferred that if petitioner would testify that he had not menticeed Dr. Weinsteiefs tame, the aforesaid plane crash, or the possible eeisteece of brain danage to hi= until after the trial on the merits, that there would he good grounds for's. reversal. of petitioner's conviction on appeal. Counsel did not oeenly state this, bet his inferrence was nevertheless obvious to any person of average intelligence. Ceunsel also inferred that such testimony would help block aey attempts by the goverreeet .o claim lack of diligence on the part of petitioner or counsel.

Vith, this in mind, petitioner took the stand at his hearing on_ the motion. -for a new.trials held on June 7, 1964. In short, petitioner testified t•eet he had not disclosed the "existence" of organic brain &nage or an;; thing relating thereto to counsel before his trial on the merits. Petitioner perjured hieself on this sceeeet and on other matters, including an "admission" he had shot hi=self through the chest in a suicide attempt and that he had destroyed certain Army medical records, to indicate he was and•had been miintally ill. Petitioner-alleses that such testi=oey was in every sense of the word coerced testimony and wholly untrue.

• - SEVENTEENTW SPECIFIC ALLEGATION: That petitioner did, at hii hearing on, the motion for a . new trial subsequent to conviction at the first trAil on the merits, give false and-perjured testimony; that such testimony was thee, before, and ever later known by both court—appointed counsel to he false; that petitioner gave such eerjured testimony only after coercion and the series of events already described convinced him he would not be able to obtain justice by enseerins counsel's questions truthfully in oeen court; that petitioner was unlawfully ecerced into pi {s cemeitting suer: perjury; that by counsel's aforementioned actions and tactics, they coeeucted themselves impcnperly as officers Of the court and in violation of the•cae.!oe of ateice.

12. The notion for a new trial was denied ca June 8, 1964, and on the same date petitioner was sentenced to the maxieum penalty of ten years on each count of the indictment, both terms ordered to be served ccncurrently, in the custody of the United States Attreney General. Thereupon, petitioner signed papers electing not to begin serving his sentence pending outcome of appeal from conviction. He was remanded to the custody of the United States.11rshal and returned to the 11 Paso County Jail. On or about June 14, 1964, petitioner was taken to the hospital ward of the United States Correctional Institution, La Tema, New Mexico, by ambulance. Petitioner desires to discuss this event in sees detail if and when he is granted a hearing on this petition.

• A day or so later, while still confined at Ia Tuna, counsel (Mr. Calemia) - g

visited petitioner, and, in the presence of Er. Jack Graves, Deputy U.S. Marshal of El Paso,•adrised him ha would be transferred to St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Washington, D.C., if he would sign papers electing to begin serving his sentence; that if he • did so, he would not be returned to the El Paso County Jail nor would he be sent to a penitentiary or any prison until gv and unless his conviction was affirmed on appeal. Petitioner then signed the aforementioned papers. The following day counsel revisited petitioner, and, again, in the presence of Mr. Graves, stated that the arrangenents to have him transferred to St. Elizaeeth's Hospital had "fallen through," but that if petitioner would sign another set of papers electing to beein.serving his sentence pending outcome•of appeal, he would be transferred to tha U.S. Public Health Service Hospital at Fort Werth, Texas. Counsel repeated, upon query by petitioner, that if he did so, he would not be sent to a penitentiary or any prison until and unless his conviction was affirmed on appeal. Petitioner thereupon signed the aforementioned papers.

EISHTEENTH SPECIFIC ALLEGATION: That petitioner, after conviction at his first trial on tne merits, finally signed papers electing to begin serving his sentence pending outccme of appeal, only because ha had been advised by counsel that if he did so he would not be sent to a penitentiary or any prison until and unless his conviction was affirmed on appeal; that counsel gave such advice knowing it g to be misleading, ueworthe, and false; that such action by ccensel constituted a usurpaticn and encroachment on petitioner's rights under tie law existing at that tiee. On June 19, 1964, petitioner was transported by automobile to the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital, Fort Worth, Texas, a hospital and place of confinement reserved primarily for narectice-law offenders, where ha was incarcerated for thirty- three days. -e • • 0-

NINETEENTH SPECIFIC IIIE3ATION: That while confined at -the aforesaid institution, petitioner was eubjeCoted to questioning, involuntarily, about the offense -for.which he stood convicted, the defense raised at his trial, his true defense against the crime charged,. and matters relating -to his appeal from conviction then being prepared; that when petitioner refused to answer some of the questions put to him, he was subjected to duress in that he was told if he did not cooperate in answering 'all questions he would most likely be sant to a penitentiary. Cn July 22, 1964, petitioner was transported by automobile to the United States Penittntiaey, Leavenworth, Kansas, where he remained incarcerated entil February 15, 1966.

• TWENTIETH SPECI.FIC ALLEGATION: That while confined at the aforesaid institution, petitioner, a federal prisoner then awaiting outcome of appeal from conviction, was subjected to questicning in the prison hospital during the eonthe of July and August 1964 and Noveaber and December 1964 about theecrime for Which he stocd convicted, the defense raised at his trial, his true defense against the crime cheegel,. and matters relating to his appeal from conviction, military service and political views; that he was subjected to such queatiening involuntarily and against his will; that when petitioner refused to answer any aid all of the questions aforesaid, he was subjected to coercion, duress and cruel and unusual punishments; that on one occasion be was stripped naked and eade to lie and sleep on a tile floor for ten days, without just cause; that during such period he was purposefully exposed to view of prison homosexuals and subjected to their ridicule; that during such period he was never' • permitted to warn any part of his body or perform other neceseities of personal hye4ene; at during such period his toiletries flushed once a day and he was never provided with any toilet paper; that, during such period hp was asked every day if he was ready to talk; that during such period he was not furnished an adequate supply of water to drink; that subseauent to the aforedescrihed tan day period, he was removed frcn the prison hospital and placed in solitary confinement in Building v 63 at the penitentiary; that later, in December 1964, petitioner was asked the same questions again, and again he refused to answer them- that as a result he was forcibly administered a dangerous drug, without nedcal elaeinaticn beforehand; that such drug was adminiatered until his physical condition commanded it be stopped; that as a direct result of the administration of such drug, petitioner's life, mental health, and physical rell-teing was placed in jeopardy; that petitioner's letters to his counsel and a physician—consultant to the Walter Reed Army Institute of Researdle complaining in the afcresaid regard, were destroyed in petitioner's presence by air. Charles S. Farris, an associate warded of the penitentiary; that as a result of. the punishments referenced, and soley because of such punishments, petitioner "coOperatei' in answering sore of the questions put to him; that as a consequence of answering certain questions pertaining to his mental status, petitioner revealed evidence which was later used against him at his second trial on the merits; that by the foregoing, in part and as a whole, petitioner was compelled to be a witness against h.-lc:self at such trial-

7 Petitioner's appeal from his first conviction was filed on Novemher 2, 1964 in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, New Orleans. It was heard at Houston, Texas, on tecenber 2; 1965, and, by the appelate court's opinion dated ' January 4, 1966;- -petitioner's first` conviction was reversed with instructions that a new trial be granted. e.

• • Seven grounds were raised in support of reversal by court-appointed counsel. Six of them were "Confidently fejected." The seventh ground, contending that a new

trial should have bean granted on account of crucial evidence nearly discovered (that of ' "serious organic brain damage"), was -sustained. •

The court's opinion held that such evidence "-eras unknown to the trial judge -or defense attorneys until after the trial." It held that such evidence was concealed by petitioner "as the result of a dee:teed brain and diseased mind." The cpinion also stated: "The former valiant soldier who had sustained wounds on three occasions in defense of his County had become se ccmpletely altered that he annoeneed himEelf in open court to be a Ccemmnist. He had made one serious effort to kill himself be a shot in the left chest."

14. 1WE1'!TreTIEST S?ECIFIC ALLEGATION: That despite petitioner's continuous and repeated requests to counsel and offers to pay costs for the Same, he was never before Or after filing of the appeal, furnished or permitted to see a copy of the appeal brief submitted in his behalf; that the appelate court's opinion vividly indicates such brief was pervaded with a conglomeration of truths, half-truths and outright falsities;that they were known to be such by counsel; that petitioner's cup coerced, perjured testimony at the hearing on the motion for a new trial, and Mr. Rallis' perjured testimony at such hearing, was heavily relied upon by the appelate court in formulating its opinion; that. had other evidence crucial to petitioner's rightful defense not been withheld or suppressed at his trial or at the hearing on the motion for a new trial, it would have been rade available to the appelate court via the sentencing court's record; that had the truth been raised even after petitioner's first conviction, the apmelate court nay very well have reversed his conviction without remanding him for another trial; that by the foregoing the appelata court's reversal pf his first conviction merely paved the way for petitioner's second conviction' and ki,/ present detention.

On February 15, 1966, petitioner was r8leased from Leavenworth Penitentiary and returned to the El Paso County Jail.

On February 25, 1966, petitioner mailed a letter to the court requesting relief of court-appointed counsel and permission to act as his can counsel at all future legal proceedings, until he could make arrangements to retain qealified counsel to represent him. .He received no answer from the court.

On February 28, 1966, counsel ('Mr. Calamia) visited petitioner at the jail and stated he lee making arrangements to have petitioner ccmmitted to a_ Veterans Hospital, that if petitioner would agree to a voluntary commitment the government would dismiss the charges pending against him. Petitioner replied he would agree to this if he could receive assurance the charges would be dropped after the commitment.

' On March 1, 1966, Mr. Calamia, accompanied by a Ur. Escbbar, another El Paso Attorney, who identified himself verbally as being a representative of the Veterans Administration in El Paso, visited petitioner. The substance of this interview was that Wsie coUrael and Mr. Escobar attempted to persuade petitioner to agree to a voluntary commitment to a V.A. hospital ir. lieu of standing trial again. Petitioner advised he would subedit to no commitment 'with charges hanging cver.my head." •

On March 2, 1966, petitioner, as a precaution, wrote and nailed another letter to the court requesting reliet: of counsel and permission to act in his own behalf at any future legal pi-oceedini, until he could make pilga arrangements to retain counsel of his cram choosing. He received no answer from the court.

- On March 7, March 8, and March 14, 1906, counsel visited petitioner, attempting to persuade him to sub it to a commitment to a V.A. hospital. Mr. Calamia stated that the government would not dismiss the, charges against petitioner until after he was . ccmmitted, and petitioner refused to agree to a commitment unless he received some assurance "besides your word" that the charges A.51/ would indeed be dismissed after he did so.

On Karch 16,- 1956, petitioner wrote and nailed a rather lengthy letter to the court which pertained to his situatLon and complaints and what can best be described as a "deal" offered to him tiff the government via court-appointed counsel, and petitioner's response thereto.

On March 18, 1965, Mr. Jack Graves, Leputy U.S. Marshal, visited petitioner and attempted to persuade him to submit to a commitment to a V.A. hospital in lieu of standing trial. Petitioner, not receiving any valid assurance that the charges would be dismissed after such commitment, refuoed to agree to do so.

On March 28, 1966, 2r:r. Tony Enriques, reputy U.S. Marshal, attempted for over one hour to persuade petitioner to submit to a voluntary commitment to a V.A. hospital in lieu of standing trial. Petitioner, not receiving any valid assurance that the charges would be dismissed after such commitment, refused to agree to do so.

On April 4,- 1966, petitioner wrote and mailed a letter to Yr. Harry L. Hudspeth, Assistant United States Attorney at Zl Paso, advising him that counsel's further representation of him (petitioner) was without his authorization, and also mentioning that his reply to the government's proposal relayed by counsel ras contained in his letter to the court dated March 16, 1966.

The following day petitioner received answer from Mr. Hudspeth, dated also on April 4, 1966, which advised that relief of counsel was a mattar for the court to decide upon.

- On April 7, 1966, three months after the appelate court's reversal of petitioner's conviction, a hearing was held in which the court again ordered petitioner committed to the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners for a period of psychiatric observatiOn to determine his mental competency to stand trial. At this hearing petitioner brought up the subject of his three letters to the court requesting relief of appointed counsel. When the presiding judge stated he had not received petitioner's letters dated February 25, 1966 and March 2, 1966, petitioner produced carbon copies of these letters and gave them to the court. Petitioner stated that his sister was in the process of making arrangements for him to be represented by qualified counsel, retained at her yo expense; that she had already talked to an attorney concerning such representation.

Thereupon, the judge, the Honorable Dorwin Suttle, instructed that any attorneys retained- by petitioner- or his sister would have to act under the supervision of court—appointed counsel.

It was after these instructions that the court ordered petitioner's . afprementicned commitment. Both counsel were present. When asked by the court if he had any comment to make,,Mr. Calacia replied that under the circumstances he had no comment to make. 713... Rallis also.itated he had no comment to make. The Assistant U.S. Attorney, either Lir. Jaime Boyd or Mr. Harry L. Hudspeth, also stated he had no comment to make when queried by the court. Petitioner then aske3 the court if he could say something in his own behalf.

- 16, the foregoing was a usurpation of petiticner's right # to question and protest action which would continue his deteaticn and bar him from a speedy trial, in that petitioner was not earlier, then, or ever later found to be mentally incompetent or incapable of acting or assisting in his cen defense; that the foregoing constitute! an abolition of petitioner's right to seek relief fr.= the very court rhich resconeibility of protecting that right; that the court's cceeitment, on ite aey-- •other motion, was effected in the 10X face of then recent dceueentary evidence furnished the court be competent medical authority that petitioner was mentally competent to stand trial; that by all of the fcregoing, and by evidence which will be produced at any hearing on this petition, yetiticeer's safeguards under the law were flagrantly abused and he was, as a result, denied a speedy trial.

Dobbs, in the presents of Deputy U.S. .Marshal Jim Johnsen, stated-substantially thee-fence-in to petitioner: That he had just finished talking to Judge Suttle, who.he said was a longtime friend of his, and the ledge hai told him to tall petitioner the if he would cooperate with the doctors at Springfiell, and subnit to all of the' examinations they requested cf hie, and that if it was determined by them tha2t- petitioner was not mentally Compateet at the time of the - alleged offense, either he would not be oughtto trial, or, if the evidence dictated he should stand trial, he would not be convicted. tr. Dobbs inferred that the judge -would direct a verdict of acquittal under these circumstances. He added that if. petitioner was found to be mentally competent at the time of the alleged c"e-.e, and if he Was convicted, that petitioner would not he sent to prison, be =a, as , Kr.
