grocer, began his defense this morning Nc
AFaine's mother and sister were his first wit
nesses They related several curious stories

mentally deranged. Mrs McIlvaine ascribed
his insanity to the fright she experienced in a
shipwreck three months before his birth. She
also thought that bean, which got into his ear
in babyhood, and q hairpin which she ya]nly
attempted to extract it with, had affected his
brain. She was quite confident that he still
had the bean in his head when he committed
the murder, because she had never seen it drop
out. Young Mc'Ilvains's married sister cor
roborated her mothers bean story, and told
how she frequently had seen her brother rave
and smash furniture without cause. One time
he cut up her plush sacque into small bits, with
the intention Of subsequently hocus-pocusing
them into sealskin sacque. He also put his
foot through her accordion, and often imagined
the family wished to poison him. The defense
