1t is now stated in certain circles
that insanity will be the defense in the
wifemurder case against Amos ID.
Palmer, now in Cranston Jail. This
course has been definitely decided upon,
ii is alleged. by the counsel for the ac-
cused. IL was found TO be the only
reasonable plea i'm view of the testi-
mony of the killing taken before Cor
oner Hawkins.
1t is also said that some of the evil
dence which the government will in
troduce will tend TO establish the claim
that Palmer was mentally irresponsible
when he shot his wife and for some
little while after.The defense will large
ly rely upon coaching John Devine to
show the condition OF his employer just
before and directly after the murder.
The case will probably come before the
grand jury some time next week.
