| Mr.. DAyID6E's ARGUMENT
| Mr.. Davidge thought the defence had made
grave error In confusing malice, as the term is
used In law, with Ill viii or gruige as the word is
popularity. He said the only quest on was whether

cuSsed specifically so that they could be brought

| reviewed again the propositions submitted by the
prosecution.

MI. Davidge having used the expression moral

| 'Iransitory mania, is the word, Judge"

"He wouldn't have died If the Lord hadn't
wanted him to 60"
MI. Davidge, having spoken of the 4th prayer or
the deIence as an Ola D0drida, mixing up moral
insanity and legal insanity, the prisoner said: Il

eri OF the defence AT length.
