Makel to Be Given Sanity Examination
Associate Judge signed an order directing a sanity examination by the State Department of Mental Hygiene for John Francis Makel a 15 year old colored youth who stabbed and seriously wounded City Policeman Paul Mossburg. The exam is to determine sanity and report back to the court with Makel to be transported to the department at 2218 North Charles street Baltimore for testing. The action postpones the trial on multiple indictments including assault with intent to murder and arrest related charges. Mossburg was knifed while investigating a note threat and has since recovered.
