Hepburn declared that he, found no evidence of prewious unsoundness of mind when he examined Kelly at the county jail about three weeks ago. The doctor is a psychiatrist and neurologist, associated with Norway's sanitarium here. Dr, Philip Reed, first alienist to testify, also ig associated with the sanitarium. A defense witness, Dr. Reed asserted he considered the defendant of “unsound mind.” Defense Attorney Floyd Christian questioned Dr. Hepburn intently regarding the possibility that Kelly was a victim of traumatic epilepsy (caused by an injury).

No hreakdown of cause for prisonment was available, but it was reported that a great’ number are held for going absent without leave as they were ready to ship overseas.

day. Chinese military spokesmen said the Japanese already have lost

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC — A Dutch spokesman said 200,000 Dutch troops and the Dutch navy will be sent to the Far East to fight the Japanese, presumably in the: Dutch East Indies area. In southern Okinawa, the 96th infantry division completed the destruction of the enemy's .Naha-Shuri-Yonabaru line and the encirclement of its last 1000 defenders by linking up with the first marine division 800 yards southwest of Shuri castle. Resistance Weakens The encircled enemy. pocket on Wana ridge just north of Shuri was under attack from all sides and a front dispatch said resistance had begun to weaken. . Two other American ‘divisions were fashioning a second encirclement farther south. The expected junction-of the 6th marine and 7th army. divisions might encircle another 1000 or more Japanese.
Radio Tokyo said the newly-ar-and 7th marine divisions had been put into line at the new the coast of Okinawa, where the Americans already were within two miles of the South coast and have
