UNITED STATES v. YATES

No. 5668.

279 A.2d 516 (1971)

UNITED STATES, Appellant, v. Dorothy E. YATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided June 29, 1971.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William H. Schweitzer, Asst. U. S. Atty., with whom Thomas A. Flannery, U. S. Atty., John A. Terry and Leonard W. Belter, Asst. U. S. Attys., were on the brief, for appellant.

Stephen S. Millstein, Washington, D. C., for appellee.

Before KERN, NEBEKER, and PAIR, Associate Judges.

NEBEKER, Associate Judge:

This appeal is from the grant of a pretrial motion to suppress evidence1 — a loaded pistol. We reverse. A further word appears warranted in light of the manner in which the judge conducted the hearing. This is not the first case in which this problem has presented itself,2 so our ordinary reluctance to comment on the manner in which a hearing was conducted must give way.
