is that condition of the mind where
there is an uncomfortable impulse ofemo-
tons and is produced by disease. Inean
cerebral disease of insanity does not al

cause for this enmity and then should

Should a man lay in wait for another
man and kill him if he had a grudge
against him also growing out OF a
wrong?
Do Won mean a real wrong!

Much debate arose out of this ques-
ton. Court allowed it.
WitneSs-I would not consider him
insane.
Have YOU read the evidence in the
case and what is your opinion as to the
sanity of the prisoner?
Graham objected on the ground that
newspaper accounts were incomplete.
Witness-There should be some evil
dence of the grandparents of man

hereditary. Insanity generally shows
itself on several members of the family.

The Brooklyn Eagle gets off the fol.
lowing on Vice President Colfax, whose
wife presented him with 4 nine ponnd
baby the other day;
"The first man that Mcfarland be
came jealous ofwas not Albert D. Rich
ardson. Richardson was, undoubtedly,
an after apprehension to him. The first
was one who became an object of suspi-
cion to the husband in this wise: Mrs.
Sinclair playfully told Mcfarland one
spring evening in 1866 that Abby had
run around to her house and bid long
good-by at the door to a gentleman, and
and that Abby had told her that she
wouldn't have Dan know it for the
world, because that gentleman was very
fond Of her. Mrs SINCLAIR told Mr.
Mcfarland to look out-told him so in
play. He did look out in earnest, and
found that gentleman to be Speaker
Colfax, now Vice President of the
United States, in whose Indiana home
last year Mrs. Mcfarland remained
while she was prosecuting her wildcat
divorce" o, Schuyler, Schuyler Is
