DR.. james Beale, Colonel Mayo's family
physician, next testified that he believed that
Colonel Mayo was at present sane, but of
unsound mind. Not meaning to pass any
opinion' upon the course pursued In dis
charging Colonel Mayo from the asylum, DR..
Beals said he thought It q mistake in sending
him away so soon. He believed that the def.
milton of insanity was the doiDg or saying OF
something contrary to reason and custom,
| and that while Colonel Mayo was sine at
this time, yet he thought, that be was in the
condition to do and say something contrary
to reason and custom at any time. ~ .f.z5.4

badly show his insanity during the converse.
ton on the subject Of his stay In the West.
ern Lunatic -AsyIum and his own case. He
had dwelt particularly upon these points,
and found that he was sane. Colonel Mayo
ltoId witness that it was with great difficulty
he could get his release from the asylum
that he believed DR.. Baldwin never would
be convinced Of bis recovery. AT this point
Colonel Mayo reminded the witness that
/ Hhathe had said to him 10 reference to DR.
| Baidwin's doubts on the subject of bis men.
/ tai condition when discharged from the asy.
lum was in response TO his (CabelPs) direct
Inquiry. He believed that DR.. Baldwin had
yielded something to -the earnest appeals
and arguments which he had urged upor
him and his associates respecting the. unu
sual circumstances of his case aud the diff
culty of effecting complete cure as long as
| heE was confronted with this accusation
Whilst he had no fears himself of not being
able to go through with the ordeal thai
tawaited him, he was feelingly aware that
both his medical adviser and his dearest
friends had grave misgiRings on -thesubjeet
DR.. Cabell also res,a!ed much of the evidence
given in bis first statement.
| at this point the Judge cautioned the jury
not to talk with any one on the subject O
| this trial, and the court was then adjourned
until II O'Clock this morning.
