Mr. William +. Howe, the counsel for Jack Rey-
nolds, the murderer or Mr.. Townsend, of Hudson
street, is making the most strenuous efforts to
prove that his unfortunate client was insane
when he committed the deed for which he
has been condemned to suffer death, ana that
he Is still insane. In circular which the
counsel has prepared and addressed TO the
various newspapers lie goes into an elaborate
review OF the evidence OF the physicians examined
during the trial, ana to consider that IN
justice was done his client by the prosecution
having called as witnesses physicians who have
practical knowledge OF the conduct OF insane people
In The insane asy ylums. He crltlclses the testimony
OF Drs. Nealis and Vance in way that is by no
means complimentary 10 the medical know

the subject OF insanity Is concerned. For instance,
in speaxing Of DR.. Nealis he says-"The Doctor tes-
