DISTRICT COURT.
Defense of Insanity Put Upon the Case
of Sheriff..

- SAo"'S VI upon inc SaSe
of Sheriff..
Hamilton, Sept. 1.-THE whole time
of the district court yesterday was ia
Ken up with the trial of Willard f.
cBunch'o Sheriff. for killing a steer
belonging to Marcus Daily. The states
witnesses were all examined and the
evidence was all to the effect that Sher-
rill killed the animal and afterwards
freely admitted it. When the defense
opened it's case it was at once evident
that its main hope was to prove that
Sheriff. was victim of dipsomania and
that he was not mentally responsible
for his acts. Drs. Howard, Coughonour
and Hunter testified in the case, and
professional evidence went to show that
Sherrill's brain was in such a condi-
ton that very small amount of liquor
tended to make him irresponsible. Other
testimony was to the effect that he was
not right in his mentality, and after
one witness swore positively that he
believed the prisoner to be crazy the
court called halt, stating that he did
not propose to have a jury try and
convict an INSANE man. and announced
that the question of Sherrill's sanity
would have to be determined before
proceeding any further in the criminal
matter. He ordered jury of Il to be
drawn to determine as to the sanity
of the man. ard the trial jury on the
criminal charge was dismissed until
this morning. when the insanity matter
viii be taken up. If Sheriff. is found
insane he will be sent TO the asylum;
If found sane, the criminal trial will
go on, with the probabilities against
the defendant. As it looks now. Sher-
rill will go to Warm Springs or Deer
Lodge one Or the other.
