Rev. G. III. "A. lhlkIey, clergyman, was
asked whether he knew the liability Of Sic
4 les to intense and sudden excitemeni.--
The District Attorney objected, unless the
excitability went 10 the extent Of insanity.
Argument resumed, during which Mr..
Brady said he proposed, in addressing the
Jury, 10 speak 10 them about insanity in all
~ various forms. Some men are lunaiics
tor few days. some Tor years,and some nro
incurably insane, and he believed that any
man n intelligence can express bis opinion
Oh the different phases Of insani'v.
Brady wanted to prove that Mr.. Sickles,
on an occasion greatly lacera'ing 20 his
feelings, had become positively insane, and
had to be placed under restraint.
Carlisle Withdrew his objection.
