Basis of DIR. FIetcher's Opinion.

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
In your relation of the O'keefe case
yesterday you purpose to give the hypo-
thetical question propounded to me by the
defense, and TO which l answered that l
believed the man insane Now, as I abhor
the professional medical expert, who, as
a rule. appears before juries as expert
upon any and everything l wish to state
that you left out the principal part of the
hypothetical case upon which my answer
was based.
First-It was averred that OKeefe's
mother was insane two years before her
death.
Second-He had one brother insane fif-

teen years, and another died insane at the
age OF forty, a sister now living insane in a
Pennsylvania hospital. and another who
died insane.
Third-The hypothetical question shows
that O'Keefe himself has been for four
years a subject of melancholia-
Ny opinion that he was insane was not
based upon the fact that he shot his wife 8
paramour and his daughters seducer, but
rather that he did not shoot him years
ago. The poor man had the seeds of in
sanity as an inheritance from his concep-
ton, which it required but time and cir
cUmstances TO develop.
