trouble and expense saved. There was a
motive for his committing the crime charged
DO you find any motive or act of his previous
to the crime, that the man did not like his
children, especially the one who died at his
hands. All goes to prove that the mans
mind was in an unsOund state at the time.
In order to be responsible a man must have q
sound mind, and know the difference between
right and wrong at the time of committing
the act The burden of proof has been con-
elusive by defence, that the prisoner acted
from an insane mind. He was not naturally
an ugly man. These evidences are conclu-
sive that he was not in his right mind. No.
tice the change in his conduct upon various
occasions. The love he manifested towards
his family, the little child he murdered.
These acts show that the mans mind was in
an unnatural state, and he did not know what
he was doing. Now we submit this case to
your own judgment.
Mr.. Webb then made the following argu-
ment on the side of the government: am
glad that this trial is so fast drawing to q
close. The last act rests upon the jury.
The more interest you see taken in this case
must rest upon your mind the importance OF
your decision. l do not urge the
conviction Of the prisoner. l do moi
want verdict of guilty against the person il
he Is really insane. want your careful at
tention npon all the evidence. This 10 the
first case Of the kind brought before the courts
in this county, and therefore the more need
Of your candid judgment. The nice point
that you are to consider IL the extent Of the
insanity of the prisoner at the time he com
mitted the act. 1t is well THAT the jury
should understand all the points in question
As the law now stands IL you find q man in
sane that day, the presiding Judge may com
NIT him to the insane asylum upon your Ger
tificate, when it is believed he can be lei
out with safety he may be released
You can't conflne sane man in the walls o.
an insane hospital or the prison. He mus
be let out. In trial of case of this kind,
