Evening a Blank 10 Hin.

In conversation after the bromide had

the evening was a blank, During the
evening he had drank four glasses of
Mt. Vernon whiskey. Ordinarily this
would not have much effect, but he
drank three bottles of beer after it,
Palmer did not seem TO remember the
departure of the guests for he asked
If the guests had gone when the Shoot
ing occurred. Palmer remembered the
dinner. According to the opinion of the
witness Palmer was, during witness
tine at his house, suffering from alco-
holism and nervous shock. DIR. Hersey
remained at the house all night. Dr.
Perkins arrived about o'clock. In an
swer TO a question by Attorney General
Tanner as to whether Palmer tried TO
commit suicide. DIR. Hersey said that
the coachman called him saying doc

Palmer Was Suffering From
Both After the Shooting.
DR.. Perkins Testified He Believed Palmer
Remembered More About Tragedy
Than He Pretended to Do.

The testimony introduced by the state
today i'm the trial of Amos ID. Palmer
20 rthe murder of his wife, Addie NJ.
Palmer, was some OF IL of a very direct
nature. DR.. Hersey and Dr. Perkins
testified that Palmer had told them he
drank Mt. Vernon whiskey on the aft
ernoon and evening before the tragedy,
and that that brand of whiskey had
bad effect on him. The medical wit
nesses examined before the noon recess
gave testimony to the effect that Pal
mer shortly before the noon recess
seemed To be suffering from alcoholism
and a nervous shock.
Rathbone Gardner of counsel for the
defendant made a neat effort 10 have
the witnesses say this state Of alcohol
ism was due TO the habits OF the de-
fendant, but DIR. Hersey OF whom the
question was most directly asked. linn
tied the condition to the day of the
tragedy, and said his idea was that ii
was due 70 the liquor Palmer had
drank that afternoon or evening. The
Importance OF an admission that alco-
holic condition was due TO past habits
would have been great, for while the
law holds drunken man responsible
for crime committed by him yet. where
disease results from the abuse of alco-
hol and the deed is not done as result
pf the intoxication but of the disease.
the law excuses the man who commits

and Medical society. DR.. Hersey said
he went to the Palmer mansion the
night OF February IL i'm response TO a
telephone from DR.. Carr. He first met
Mrs. Swarts and the servants at the
house Of defendant. The latter was
standing on the steps and shook hands
with him. Witness said he had, heard
something had happened and to this
Palmer made no reply, but the COACH
man said Mr.. Palmer had killed his
wife. Palmer was not wild then, but
was fully dressed. The coachman, wit
ness and Palmer went into Mrs. Palm
er's room. There was revolver on the
bed and DR.. Hersey said when he saw
the revolver: wait minute, Mr. Pail
mer," and then told the coachman TO
take the revolver. Mrs. Palmer lay on
the floor on her right side dead. There
was hassock under her head and she
had a flannel robe on. Witness made
an examination OF the body and when
he told Palmer his wife was dead Pal
mer WIS HrurfT excited and wanted to
kill himself. Palmer threatened two or
three times to kill himself. Witness
asked the coachman to sit by him and
quiet him IL possible. According to DR.
Hersey. Palmer showed symptoms OF
nervous shock and seemed TO be very
excited. Witness gave Palmer a dose
of bromide of sodium. but IL did not
have much effect on him. During the
half hour after the doctor pronounced
Mrs. Palmer dead witness frequently
threatened TO kill himself. The first
dose of bromide OF soda given was 30
grains and a few hours later 20-grain
dose was given.

Mass There was more trouble over
the asking of questions from the coron-

claim s that this report consists chiefly
OF affidavits and that there was no op-
portunity to cross-examine witnesses al
