Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. A federal judge ruled Jim Bakker competent to stand trial on fraud charges Wednesday after a government psychiatrist testified the PTL founder was not going crazy when he broke down last week. Bakker's trial resumed nearly a week after he was found hiding under a couch and hallucinating in his lawyer's office last Thursday. He was sent to a federal prison in Burner for psychiatric evaluation. "For the first time in three years, the whole situation came home to him and he began to cry," Sally Johnson, chief of psychiatric services at the prison, told U.S.

District Judge Robert Potter. "He is not going crazy," Ms. Johnson testified with jurors absent. "He has no hidden mental illness. The stress that he's feeling is normal.

I can't rule it out that it won't happen again, but I can't rule it in either." Potter ordered Bakker released from federal marshals' custody and asked Bakker, who was brought to court in leg irons and handcuffs, to stand and answer questions. "Do you understand what you are on trial here for?" the judge asked Bakker, who is accused of fleecing followers of his PTL ministry. "Yes sir," Bakker responded quietly. Asked if he was able to assist his lawyers, Bakker said, "I'm very tired, but I believe I can." Bakker, 49, showed little emotion, sometimes hanging his head and staring at the floor. He wore a suit his wife, Tammy Faye, had brought him.

Mrs. Bakker, who attended the hearing with other family members, has protested her husband's treatment at the federal prison hospital. "This should not be allowed in the United States of America," was her only comment as she left the courthouse. Potter, after meeting with attor- Former PTL leader Jim Bakker, left, arrives at the Federal Courthouse in Charlotte, N.C., Wednesday. neys in chambers, also denied defense lawyers' motions for a mistrial, for a continuance and for dismissal of the indictment against Bakker.

Bakker, who resigned from the PTL ministry in 1987 during a sex- and-money scandal, went on trial Aug. 28 on conspiracy and fraud charges. Prosecutors said he used nearly $4 million in ministry funds to live in high style. If convicted on all 24 counts against him, he could could receive 120 years in prison and more than $5 million in fines. After Wednesday's lunch break, former PTL Vice President Steve Nelson, who collapsed under defense cross-examination last Wednesday, resumed testifying for the prosecution.

Questioned by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jerry Miller, Nelson said he went to Bakker and Richard Dortch, another ex-PTL vice president, to express his concern over the number of "lifetime partnerships" sold at Heritage USA, the Christian retreat and amusement park created by Bakker.
