INSANITY And DEPRAVITY.

Ii was remarked at the beginning OF the Gut
teau trial that one good result at least would
come from it in the valuable contributions to
the literature of medical Jurisprudence which
the testimony would afford. Even if no further
expert testimony should he offered, the antici-
patton has been realized already TO a consider
able extent in the very clear and satisfactory
definitions given on the stand by Dr. FOrdyce
Barker, Of this city, with the distinctions TO be
drawn between the irresponsbility of genuine
insanity and the perfect responsibility of the
madness that acts upon a wicked and dcprayed
impulse. 1t is worthy OF note that this intelli-
gent discrimination comes from gentleman
WHO is not a specialist in this particular depart
ment Of practice, consequently not Of the class
ordinarily summoned as experts in such cases ;
and that Notwithstanding that fact, nothing has
been said or written on the subject of hOmicidal
mania heretofore that has called out such a uni
versa expression Of approval from members Of
both the medical and legal professions us well
as the laity. His testimony is everywhere
commended for the clearness and concseness of
its statement and the plain common sense
which made it Ineligible to the simplest COM
prchensiOn.
And it perhaps suggests that, after all, the
practice of summOning as experts in cases of
this character physicians who have been in
charge of lunatc asylums, have had long expe-
rience and wide observation of the different
forms and expressions of insanity and are what
may be called specialists, is not entirely free
from objection. 1t is no new notion that con-
slant contact and association with the insane,
while it may sharpen the faculties and bcget n
certain keenness at detecting the symptoms of
mental arrangement, is also liable to engender
in the physician himself al intellectual bias by
which his Judgment may be clsuded. There is
a tendency to suspect insanity where it does not
exist to confuse, as in this case, mental de-
rangemcnt with deyilish depravity and to ac-
count every man unbalanced who INDUCES i'm
eccentrcities. DR.. Spltzba, the only expert ex-
amined for the defence, illustrated this ten
dency the other day when he expressed his be-
lief with great franlness that as a rule about
one man in five is insane. CnquestiOnably the
experience and training of these gentlemen
have furnished them with unusual qualifica-
tioYs for detecting eases of shamming and it is
noteworthy feature of the Guiteau trial that
the physicians summoned as eXpcrts-sOme of
whom were called by the defence-are pract-
cally agreed in the opinion that the prisoner is
feigning.
The plea of insanity is VIGOROUSLY the last
resort Of desperate criminals. No dodge is 50
often or so successfully worked. The III tanccs
