THE STOKES TRIAL
New York, Oct 20
The judges charge terminated at 4 :45
p, NJ, having lasted exactly three hours.
Mr. Tremaine then took special exception
to his honor's condemnation OF what is
called emotional insanity. Judge Davis
said ho used ths very language of the
court of appeals. Mr.. Tremaine said he
specially objected to the expression that
the evidence Of insanity was very meagre,
and asked to have the question submitted
to the jury. Judge Davis said he had
submitted it to them within the law. Mr..
Tremainc also took exception to the re-
mark that insanity, as rule, involves
delusiOn, and that the prisoners ideas
seemed to have been based upon reality,
and to his honor saying the other holes
in the cloak, besides the four in the
breast, were not particularly material, as
it was not claimed that tho fatal wound
was made through any Of these.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Tremaine's
explanations, the case was given to the
Jury, who retired, and at 1925 sent for
Judge Davis, to repeat his definitions Of
the various degrees of crime in taking
human life, after receiving which they
again retired.
The jury have returned verdict Of
slaughter in the third degree, and
