REBUTTAL EVIDENCE
OF Insanity Experts in the Hill Murder
-. Trial.


OAKLAND, CAL, March 1S.-the trial
OF Benjamin L. Hill did not reach the jury
because of the failure Of Miss Hannah
Mahoney of 1924 Willow street to respond
to subpenas from the defense. Judge
Ogden issued a bench warrant, which the
Deputy Sheriff served, but on her promise
TO be on hand did not enforce. When
wanted the witness was absent and the
court sharply criticized the Sheriff for his
failure to enforce the orders of the court
The defauting witness put in an appear
ance after the court had adjourned until
l 80 this afternoon. She was locked up
until time to appear in court. When she
attempted to explain her absence the mat
ter was continued until the close of the
trial and meanwhile the witness was re-
manded to the custody of the Sheriff.
Miss Mahoney testified that she had
been the landlady of the Hills, and after
Hill went to Portland Mrs. Hill remained
at the house for three months, when she
was erected.
The defendant took the stand, and his
attorney read several letters written by
Hill to his wife. In one of these Hill told
his wife that he had left her, and she
should look elsewhere for care and sup
port, as he could not'do it.
This closed the case for the defense, and
DR.. J. w. Robinson of Livermore was
placed on the stand as an expert on in
sanity by the prosecution in rebuttal. 1t
is expected the arguments will be short
and that the case will go to the jury to-
morrow
