CHARGE, LAYAWAY MOVE TO QUASH HOAR MAKES MOTION IN WHEELER CASE Charging that the autopsy on the victim was performed by a man not admitted to practice medicine in the state of California, motion to set aside and quash a grand jury murder indictment of Willie Wheeler, accused of the "$4" pocketknife slaying of a 19-year-old girl on street, November 18, was made today by Defense Counsel Frederick Hoar on ground that the indictment was not filed as prescribed by law and that there was no evidence before the grand Jury to support the murder charge. The motion was presented to Presiding Judge W. L.

Bradshaw in Superior Court, Department 2. A ruling will be made by the judge Tuesday, at 9:30 a. m. In support of his charges, Mr. Hoar asserted that Dr.

Wilbert Otho Brown, pathologist on the staff of Kern General Hospital for the past year, was not licensed to practice medicine in California at the time he performed an autopsy on Irma Mae Ivory, victim of the fatal stabbing. County Clerk R. J. Veon testified in court this morning that no license for Doctor Brown to practice medicine had been filed in the county clerk's office at the time of the autopsy, and that to date no such license has been filed. Sacramento Report Mr.

Hoar stated that he had checked with the Board of Medical Examiners in Sacramento, and that officials of the board stated that no application for a license to practice medicine had ever been received by them from Doctor Brown. Mr. Hoar said that Doctor Brown testified before the grand jury that his license to practice in California was pending, and that he was licensed to practice medicine in two other states. In further support of his motion for quashing of the grand jury murder Indictment, Mr. Hoar alleged that the "hand of the district attorney's office was too obvious in grand jury proceedings." and that the only function of the district attorney was to advise and testify before the grand jury.

"A prepared statement by the district attorney was read the grand jury in initiating proceedings, and the grand jury was not told that it might call additional witnesses to establish a possible justifiable motive," Mr. Hoar told the court this morning. Assistant District Attorney Joseph Wooldrldge, answering the charges, admitted that Doctor Brown was not licensed to practice medicine in Call fornia, but maintained that the doctor was qualified to testify before the grand jury because his tsetl mony. was both competent and revel- ant.
