Doctor Takes Stand in Eidinoff Case Amid Pressure Claim
Rusk Texas state witness Dr. James A. Hunter testified that there may have been attempted political pressure to keep Dr. Harold Eidinoff in the Rusk State Mental Hospital but he said such pressure would not alter his professional judgment that Eidinoff is not mentally ill and should remain hospitalized. Hunter, a resident psychiatrist, examined Eidinoff and treated 320 to 500 patients at the hospital. Evidence included letters from the superintendent stating Eidinoff would never be released except by court order, though the attorney noted such action was not standard practice at the time.
