The New York World, in explaining
why Judge Porter did not object to tes-
timony as to hereditary insanity in the
Guiteau case, says:
Probably Mr.. Porter believes that
such testimony must be unavailing as
against evidence of the sanity of Cult
eau at the time when he fred Judge
Porter was on the bench of the court of
appeals during the trial at Albany of
George w. Cole, brother of Senator Cole,
of California, for killing l. Harris His
cock, a brother of Mr.. Hiscock, of New
York. On that trial the question of in
sanity was allowed to be raised only in
the strictest relation TO the exact time of
the shooting. The late Judge Hogc-
boom, who presided at the Cole trial, in
charging the jury as to this point of
time, said of the accused: "Was his rea-
son then dethroned or was it then oper-
alive? Was he then able to comprehend
the nature of his conduct or not? So
long as reason preserves her dominion
over his intellectual powers, he is
held accountable for his acts and must
abide the fate of other criminals"
