The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1893-05-21

Seems to me that saw Gill on Saturday
and wanted Lewis arrested; read about
it in the papers and think it was true;
think l also saw Mr.. Allison about the
case; do not remember what ] said to
him.
At 1890 O'Clock the court took recess
until O'Clock.
On reassembling after the noon hour
Borel was again called to the stand and
the examination was continued. l
don't remember telling q Mr.. Southwell
that if | didn't get my money | would
kill Lewis; l swear that didn't talk with
anybody about it; l right here defy Mr..
Allison to get those papers. talked
with A. Hemecourt about some papers [
had written, which were written in
French and Latin. / didn't
study Latin in school; know few Latin
phrases; | told Hemecourt he didn't
translate them correctly; could say when
/ wrote the paper; wrote 1t along about
the 9th, 25th or 18th OF February; guess
it must have been on one of those dates; l
think wrote it in the Trust building; ]
wrote it with pencil; dom know what
/ wrote it for; | guess what | wrote l
meant-that is my opinion now; know
it is wrong to lie; / think every honest
man should tell the truth.
Allison thanding paper)-Now | will
ask you if that is the paper?
Mr.. Loar-We object to that because it
is not proper cross examination.
Court-Obiection overruled.
Allison-Did you write that paper?
Witness-That is my writing; / don't
know why wrote that paper; was mad
a. every body because l could not get sat-
isfaction.
Juryman to witness-Did you say that
you did not know why you wrote that
paper?
Witness-I say now that l don't know
why wrote it; l didn't know; l know it
is wrong to kill a person; know my re-
hg1on teaches it is wrong and know the
law prohibits it; | remember all read in
the papers about myself.
Ad Khun was called, but his testimony
was immaterial.
Court then took a ten minutes recess.
AN EXPERTS OPINION.
DR.. Adams was called as an expert. He
said: ] have been practicing since
in the spring of 1861; am a graduate of
Vermont school,; have had experience
with mental disorders; during the time l
was at Warsaw ! went twice week; |
visited the asylum there; / think that
was for three years; | have had experience
with insane patients in my practice; |
know the defendant, Borel; | first saw
him in my Office about the 18th day of
February; | went in and he was sitting
there he told me he had trouble in his
head; he put his hand on the back OF his
head and said it ached; / noticed his eye
was not right; the condition of the eye
indicated that his brain was disordered;
when the pupils of the eye are distended
it shows a disturbed condition of the
brain; | prescribed for him; | next saw
Borel at the jail since he was brought up
for trial; | have been there twice to see
him-olce at night and once in the day
time; | observed in the defendant the
same condition as before; l found also
a condition called oscillation of the
eyes-that is, when one eye is
dilated and the other contracted
and that is an indication of the nerve
center being disturbed. That is one OF
the strong indications laid down by all
specialists in brain diseases, that the
brain is diseased. 1t is true that the eye
is the only window to the brain. The
manner OF man is strong indication of
the stale of mind. a diseased condition
of the brain will produce a change in the
countenance.
The doctor continued a line of descrip-
ton and explanation OF the symptoms of
insanity and the habits OF the insane, as
relating to the postures, temper and
habits, many of the descriptions covering
actions of Borel that had been referred to
by several witnesses. In the opinion of
the witness he stated that it was uni
versal opinion that melancholy will pro-
duce a state of inactivity of the brain.
Judge Rhodes then put a Hypothetical
question to the witness, covering the
chief points of testimonies which had
been given in the trial, taking in the life
of Borel, going to Wyoming; his coming
TO Ogden with big sum OF money; his
being buncoed; his wild goose chase in
California; his return to this city, and
his experience here in all the details
leading up to and following the
tragedy OF the killing of Lewis. The
formation of this hypothetical PROPOSE
ton consumed almost an hour. Judge
Rhodes concluded by asking what in the
opinion of Dr. Adams would be the state of
mind, OF man in condition such as in
dicated by the series of facts stated.
DR.. Adams would say that the state
of mind of man under such circum-
stances, would be that of great frenzy
he would be insane.
Court then adjourned.
THE WORK OF BURGLARS.
Burglars made neat haul at Putnam's
clothing store some time during Friday
night. The men entered the store from
the rear and taking large trunk filled it
with suits of clothes. They then took the
filled trunk to the Union depot and asked
to have it checked to San Francisco G. o.
D. The baggage master refused to ac-
commodate them and referred them to
the express company. Yesterday morn
ing the trunk was found on the depot
ground, burst open and empty.
The Oceanic steamer City of Rio de ia
metro arrived in the port of San Francisco
this afternoon with an overland cargo of
thirty nine tons of silk, 1S3 tons OF tea
and eighty seven tons of Oriental mer-
chandise. The first of the freight will
reach Ogden on Monday, en- route east
over the Union Pacific.
The board of directors of the reform
school viii hold a regular monthly meet
ing on Tuesday afternoon.
Ten cars OF silk from the cargo of the
steamer Oceanic went east over the Union
Pacific this morning, consigned to east
ern points.
