gest deals of his life; the only
evidence of his insanity was
that George X. Reed said he
was a nuisance, and others had
testified, as did Rigley him
self, that he sold a one sixteenth
interest in the Big Buffalo to
Dell Butterworth for $4,000.
out this was in his opinion the
action of a sane man, for he
had got a better price for it
than he had ever been able to
get since. He was not insane.
tor as a matter Of fact he was
engineering big deal and had
signed a deed for $500, 900 for
his mine. If a man was to be
excused from crime on ac-
count of drunkenness it would
DC henceforth posted up SO that
other criminals might take ad.
vantage of it. The defense
had proved that Rigley was a
brute of the lowest type, be.
cause he was degenerate, and
he believed that he was not
worthy of belief and should be
confined to a penitentiary.
The gentleman concluded with
a splendid burst of oratory.
]. w. Reid made the clos
ing argument for the defense.
He defined the word "degen-
erate;;" the appetite for drink
with the defendant was inner
ent and hereditary and the
''sin of the father had been Wis
tied on the child Rigley
should not be blamed; he was
a subject for pity and made a
powerful plea for mercy for
his client. He denied that
they were trying to use drunk
eness as a defense, and stated
that alcoholism was response,
BILE for over so per cent of the
insanity Of the world, and
showed how great factor
drunkenness was in criminal
law. When the prosecution
hooted about drunkenness not
being recognized in law they
were not up to the times. Our
plea is mental unsoundness, or
alcoholic insanity. The ply
sicians' testimony proved con.
clusively that Rigley was in
sane, irresponsible and not ac-
countable; that he had mania
a-potu and that he was at the
time of the alleged commits
sion of the crime insane from
drink, hence he was under the
statute guilty of absolutely no
crime. He criticised Arnold's
testimony and supported his
position by the testimony of
McKenna. "Why was Rice
not put on the stand to corrob-
crate Arnold? They did not
dare to do this The prose.
cntion was abortive and had
been unable to show a motive
on the part of Rigley for the
commission of the crime al.
eyed. His defense was per-
5ect, with many pathetic por.
lions. He spoke for two
hours and ten minutes.
The Court announced a
hight session for 7 p. M.
!. F. Ailshie made the clos.
ng address for the State. He
justice done and criti-
,ised Rigley for bringing his
lead fathers name into i'll re-
,ute; this degenerate, as his
own attorneys have called
lin, had purposcly become in
oxicated and committed a
rhine and if this jury said he
vas not guilty any criminal
night plead intoXication as an
.xcuse. He defined crimes
W drunkenness as accepted by
aw and how it was ineXcus.
bic. He showed with what
the defense had been
abricated. Rigley was an.
,ered because he had not sue
eeded in robbing Rice of his
interest in the Big Buffalo and
othing save the strength OF
Rice and Almighty Provi-
ence had saved him from
cath.
