THE PRINCE TRIAL.

A plea OF uncomfortable emotional
insanity was the defense set up by the
counsel for ex-Assislant Clief of Police
Michael H. Prince, ia the United States
District Court, in Norfolk. yesterday.
Former Congressman Thorp, in his
opening argument on the instructions,
at the morning session Of the court,
clearly intimated tn the defense would
ask the court to instruct the jury that
where a man defends his domestic hon.
or, the deed, If proven to be for that
purpose, is in effect, justifi bile homi.
eide. The instructions submitted by
the defense provide only for absolute
acquitted. Should Prince be convicted,
the defense will appeal either on tht
ground of insanity or lack OF jurisdlc-
ton, as the argument OF counsel yes
terday showed clearly that the question
Of whether the crime was committed 10
the State or on federal property has not
been settled 10 their satisfaction.
Judge Wilcox, OF counsel for the de-
| Tense, said that the burden OF proof was
on the government TO show that Prince
6as perfectly sane at the time the crime
Was committed, aud that the point had
not been proven.
The district attorney stoutly resisted
The attempt OF the defense to Introduce
O lestcD OF insanity into the case, and
NJ contended that there is no hing
whatever 10 any Of the testimony to
show that Piince was not perfectly sane
at he time the crime was commltted.
He asserted that had Prince known he
was shooting Cannon on government
property, the federal court would never
have been burdened with the case.
Judge Waddill's charge TO the jury
was forcible and comprehensive. IL
defioing the various degrees of murder,
he said:
ut you should believe from the
evidence that at the time of such kill
ing the accused was acting under
sudden impulse, which in his then
condition of mind be could not control,
from provocation Immediately arising
before the commission OF the act, 10
that event you may fnd the prisoner
guilty of manslaughtcr.n
The argument Of counsel was heard
by tremendous audience, General
Allen opened for the government, and
be took the ground that the prisoner
may have determined, after realizing
the enormity OF his GRIM, that the
only way to save his life was TO besmirch
the reputation OF bis wife, and make
up the story of catching her with the
letter to Cannon to relate the alleged
confession, tru ting that after the trial
was over and jeopardy Of his life had
been removed be could declare he had
lied. He had never made statement
from the time OF his arrest until his trial.
Judge Thomas II. Wilcox, who re-
pied for the defense, said that this view
of the case was based OF suppositioD.
He severely arraigned Mrs. Cannon,
whose voice, he declared. was the first
raised 10 investigate the tragedy. Cap.
tain Prince sobbed while his counsel
was arguing.
Judge Wilcox speech concluded the
days sessij ID. The argument will be
concluded and the case will go to the
Jury today.
