TRIAL FOR MURDER

London, Sept. 22.

A jury decided hore tonight that Guenther Fritz Podola was sane and fit to stand trial on a charge of murdering o London detective and the judge ordered that the trial would take place at noon tomorrow..

Thus ended at the Old Bailey the dramatic nine-day "trial within a trial” to decide whether Podola, 30-year-old German-born photographer, was suffering from loss of memory and therefore unable to plead to a charge of murdering Detective-Sergeant Raymond Purdy, 48, in West London on July 13.

Tension had mounted in the packed court all day and grew io a climax os the jury, after an absence of nearly three and a bolf hours, filed slowly back to announces their verdict.

Podola had pleaded that lie had no recolivetlan

of events preceding his arrest.

If he had been found unft to plead the trial could not have inken place.

During the nine-day hearing paychiatrist after psychiatrist appeared in the witness vox to express their opinions on Podola's "amnesia."

Up To Defence

But the judge today made it clear to the jury that it was up to the defence to prove that its ellent was actually suffering from loss of memory and not up to the Crown to disprave this assertion.
