Assume IL TO be a fact that there was a strong
hereditary taint OF insanity I'm the blood of the

or thrty-1ve years his own mind was so much
deranged that he was nj subject 10 be sent 20 an
insane asylum; also that at different times from
that date, during the next succeeding five years.
ne manifested such decided symptoms OF Insanity
without stimulation, that many different PERSONS
oelleved him to be insane: also that during the
month OF June, 1881. at about the expiration OF
SAD Sa term OF Ive years, he honestly became
Iomlnated by the idea that he was inspired of
God TO remove by death the President OF the nited
states; also, that he acted upon what he believed
TO be such inspiration. and what n believed 10 ne
In accordance with the Divine will I'm nr plratton
Tor, and In the accomplishment OF such purpose:
Also. that he committed the act of shooting the
PRESIDENT under what he believed to be a Divine
command, which he was not at liberty TO dso,,ey
ana which belief amounted To conviction that
Will as 10 that act that he could not resist the
mental pressure upon him; aiso that immediately
after the shooting he appeared calm, and az one
there was no other adequate motive for the act
than the conviction that he was executing the DE
vine will for the good or his country. Assuming
all these propositions to be true state whether ia
your opinion the prisoner was sane or insane at
ne ume OF shooting President Garfeld?"
