THE KILLING OF MRS. BURRoUoHs
Another Murder Trial In which Insanity IL
Made the Defence.

All day yesterday In the Oyer and Ter
miner court ROOM In Brooklyn, JOSH burroughs,
who shot and killed his young wife In fifteenth
street, last November sat in the peculiar position
he assumed on the day before-his body droop-
ing forward, his hands closed together, aud his
ewes fixed on the ceiling over the jury box. lie
did not move from this position, except when
In the hustle of the succession Of witnesses lie
changed the tobacco In his mouth.
Christopher Bell testified that before Mrs. Bur
roughs was killed, Burrouihs tried to buy
knife in Smiths hardware store. lie was under
the influence Of liquor, and for some time was
unable to ind knife large enough to suit him.
When he did, he hadn't the money to pay for II.
Other witnesses testified to Burroughss re-
poated threats to beat his wifes brains out, aud
TO their quarrels. Arthur Hcany testified that
on Nov. 10, Burroughs bought the pistol from
him with which he KILLED his wife.
MIR. John A. Iavlor, in opening Tor the pris-
oner, developed the dcfcnse's theory of insanity.
He quoted from Justice onaws opini n that IL
was tho durv Of the Jury In an Insanity case N
after the fun consideration Of the evidence they
did not fee an abiding conviction Of the truth
Of the charge, to give The prisoner he benefit Of
n doubt. lie quote Recorder llacketts saying
I'm the Mcfarland case. that the line between
sanity and insanity Is as difficult ~ measure as
the meridian line In geo rrauhv.
burroughs. he SAID. ~ to II wears fage, was n
promising hoy. lie received at that age by acct

TO learn TO read and write. At 20 wears Of ace
he married one Maggie Kant. Three months
after her death. the woman Le shot hustled the
prisoner, half fool. half crazy on In n carriage ~
night and married him. IL WIS the counsel's
duty to make known the fact that this woman
before her marriage had given birth to child
which no man fathcred, and this awful discov-
ery that burroughs made "a the secret Of tho
turning Of his mind. On the sunday before her
death he attempted to cut his throat In his
mothers house. and he yet bears the mark Of
the knife ON Monday he called In uious
nd a. 81 hpr n IN ifU
that his wife was the only obstacle between him
and salvation. ON "Wednesday night he was
found In position which seemed To Indicate
that he expected to begin his tragic career with
the murder VI his mother.

LIFE ms GRANGE LITIGATION.
Eight Years at Law amer the Suicide Of
James VI. Benedict.

Eight Years at Law amer the Suicide Of
James VI. Benedict.
James NJ. Benedict, while afflicted with
severe headache and threatened congestion OF
the brain, shot himself in the head aud died in
stantly. This was on the 25th OF November,
1867. He had assigned policy OF life insurance
In the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance once for
$4,000 to ]. N. Weed, aud Mr.. Weed sued the
company for 10000. The defense was that the
company was not liable ungera clause IN the
policy that IL should be forfeited n the person
assured should die by his own hand, On the
first trial verdict was given for the plantn for
tl2.JG, but the judgment was reversed on appeal
because JudRe Freeman had enormously charged
the Jury that the fact OF suicide was n clrcum-
stance to be considered 10y the Jury in deter
mining whether Benedict was or was not In
sane when ne CON mitted the act, the Court OF
Appeals holding that sanity WAS the normal
condition and that insanity must be Iroved
afiirnatlyely. On the second trial Yesterday
Judge Mcneil dismissed the complaint on the
ground that the facts proved that Benedict was
am cted with severe neuralgic headaches, some
times producing Observation-Disclosures, and that
boodshot eyes and a flushed face were not
enough to 90 to the jury Oh the question Of in
sanity, as they were equally consistent with the
ideN - sanity, striking out the fact VI seif-Ie-
RLructiuu.
