S. E. Bibby testified as fol-
lows: At the time of the
trouble Rigley was in his opin
ion an insane man and he had
so stated to Rigley's friends.
was called in to attend him
and found that he was suffer
ing from a gun.shot wound;
he was delirious, incoherent
and irresponsible. He was in
a state of acute alcoholic in
sanity induced by over indul.
gence in drink. His brain
functions were for the time be.
ing paralyzed. He had mania
a potu. An abnormal man"
is one born of parent addict
ed to the over indulgence in
liquor, which was accumulated
in the offspring, and these de.
cendants are apt to show this
insanity in a more exaggerat,
ed form than the parent. He
described the degrees of alco-
holic insanity; Rigley was in
the third state; one more
meant death; a wound from a
pistol would have the tenden-
cy to bring him ont of a state
Of drunkenness.
Cross.examination by State:
Witness explained the differ
ent degrees of alcoholic insan.
ity and acute alcoholism, and
their effects as to memory;
habitual drunkards leave an
impression on the offspring.
R!igley had called upon him
four or FIVE times prior to De-
cember 6, for professional
treatment; had also treated
McKenna and Robbins for al.
coholism. Rigley's tempera.
ment is nervous and hysteri-
cal. Rigley was under his
care about ten days.
IN answer to a question by
Judge Steele witness said: A
person with mania.a potu is
not capable of distinguishing
between right and wrong and
is entirely irresponsible.
DR.. ]. A. Payzant followed
DR.. Bibby, with whom he
agreed entirely.
Cross.examination by the
State: In mania.a-potu the
motor nerves are more active,
Ind one of the effects of this
lementia is to abolish volition
Ind memory. One suffering
rom this trouble would recol-
eet faces, but not names. He
Uttered from DR.. Bibby in that
person afflicted with mania
l'potu would be liable to take
'p new subjects in lieu of old
mes for their mania.
Vic Bierbower made the
'pening address to the jury,
