NJ. Bolts said that % receiving the above

BY the father 10 cay that in his fathers fsnily
there has never been any insanity % Al; On bis
mothers side there have been repeated instan-
ces al it. He adds, Els FIRST wife showed symp-
toms OF L., which was also evident 10 biz fret
and second son BY that wife. Some portions Of
the statement in the dispatch Ne Knows to be
correct Of other portions be ID ianoeAnt. He
does not know whether his mothers sister died
In the Lunatic Asylum; but he does believe .
daughter Of that sister has been two years 10
m asylum, and thinks son and daughter OF his
mother's brother have been coadned in the
Asylum, but be was not aware OF the TACT that

b
does not put in any plea Of insanity, and If be
has ever been At Ill insane he was totally un-
conscious Of it, yet be adds It at those who are
most insane generally suppose that they have
more reason and sanity than those around them.
For himself hs disdains to put In that plea, and
seeks no immunity Of that kind. The move
ment 10 made totally without bic appreciation
or concurrence, and was unknown 70 him until
the receipt Of the above dispatch. Brown here
raised himself up on bis bed and said, will
add, il the Court will allow me, thas look upon
Il as miserable article and pretext Of those
who expect TO take different course in regard
10 me, il they took any At all, and view it
with coQtempt more than otherwise. As Ire
marked TO Mr.. Green, insane persons, so far
- my experience goes, have but very little sbil.

Of course should think knew more than all
he rest of the world, but I do net think 60.
I'm perfectly unconscious Of insanity, and re-
gret. so far as ! am capable, any attempt TO in
IerfeIe in my behalf ON that score.
Mr.. Bolts stated that he was further instruct
ID by Brown. that rejecting this plea entirely,
