the Cole-H iscock case, lately tried at Albany,
and the extraordinary verdict ofathe jury,
the Philadelphia Inquirer says: 1.-THE jury
in the case of Cole, tried at Albany, for the
murder Of Hiscock, has capped the climax Of
absurdity in relation 70 the doctrine Of insan-
ity, by declaring that Cole was Sane the mo-
ment before he killed his man and the mo-
ment afterwards, but that their minds were
in sore agitation and aifliction to determine
whether he was insane at the moment when
he fired the fatal bullet. The judge, instead
ofendeavoring to repel the consequences. Of
such paltering with principles which arc plain
10 every person having common sense, told
them that If they had a doubt, the prisoner
should have the benefit Of it.. Encouraged
by such q remarkable judicial expression as
this, which, in fact, was oil the excuse that
they needed, they broughtin verdict of not
guilty. 1t therefore seems by this remarka,
BILE opinion that Cole was sane the moment
befor he fired tho pistol, he was raying crazy
when he fired it, not knowing what he was
about. and recovered his senses the moment
his victim fell. This remarkable discovery
ofmomcntary insanity, preceded and follow
ed by sanity, is really the most extraordinary
