A Miscarriage Of Justice.

TOPEKA, Kan, April 12.-1n an In
terview Chief Justice Horton of the

the general acceptation that the court
had recognized hypnotism as defen-
sive plea in murder case. The facts in
the case are these: A man named Gray
procured gun and melted a man
named Nc Donald to kill one Patton.
Gray made Mcdonald believe that Pat
ton was traducing the character OF
Mrs. Mcdonald. Mcdonald, who did
the killing, was acquitted. Gray was
convicted IN the. lower court and
the supreme court affirmed the de-
cision. Judge Horton sa Us: 1T he Nc
Donald case was not presented to the
supreme court. If it had been and the
same evidence presented to us the SUI
preme court, had it the power, would
have ruled for Mcdonald conviction.
The acquittal Of Mcdonald seems to
have been . miscarriage Of justice. :"
