Judge Upholds Doctor's Right Not to Testify Murder Case Summed Up Before Going -To Jurors LONDON 11 The judge Mon day told a jury trying Dr. John Bodkin Adams for murder that Adams was within his rights in not testifying but admitted it was "unusual." The 58-ycar-old society doctor looked through his horn-rimmed glasses straight at the justice, Sir Patrick . Arthur Devlin, as he summed : up the case before the jury retires. Dr. Adams is charged with drugging to death a rich patient to gain under her will. Bringing to a climax the 16-day trial, the judge reminded the jury of 10 men and 2 women in Old Bailey: "It would be utterly wrong if you were to regard Dr. Adams' silence as contributing in any way towards proof of guilt. It does not, and it cannot.' - Chief defense counsel Geoffrey Lawrence explained earlier that he did not want to subject Dr, Adams to the ordeal of trying to remember details of a case six years old and did not think it was "necessary" to call him to counter the prosecution case. ' The judge's summation followed a final statement to the jury by Atty. Gen. Sir Reginald Mannlng-ham-Buller declaring there was no indication that death was ap proaching for Mrs. Edith Alice Morrcll, the 81-year-old woman Dr. Adams is accused of murder ing. Buller said none of the nurses who cared for Mrs. Morrcll "spoke of her suffering terrible agony." Polio Patients Become Brownie Scouts " Sips 51 - PAWTUCKET, It. I.
