| Iowa City, March 16.-The defense in
the trial of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark,
| in the junior law court of the Univer-
sity of Iowa today, introduced witness
who criticised strongly the actions of
King Claudius. in not shutting Hamlet
up in the insane asylum.
E. A. Schhiefelbien, of Hudson, gave

acts and words of the Danish prince.
that he was insane. He further tes-
titled that King Claudius and all the

Claudius was afraid to shut Hamlet
up because he was popular with the
people. He therefore took the course
Of sending him to England and writing
to have him quietly killed there. Ham

possession of his guards letters while
on shipboard and had enough cunning
to extricate himself from the peril
which confronted him by taking pas

After Hamlet had first met the pup

Judge Deemer made a ruling against
the defense, today. holding that it
could not introduce Ophelia's account
of Hamlets running into her room with
clothing and hair much disleveled and
his strange treatment of her. gazing at
her like a mad man, because it was
hearsay testimony.
Schiefelbeln testified that Hamlet,
in an interview with Ophelia,treater her
very roughly and as if he could not re-
member her. He seemed to give evil
dence Of trying to do so, but failed to
recollect that she had ever been the
girl he loved. Ophelia told Hamlet dur

testimony as to her soliloquy about

reason that it was not uttered in the

Polonius was dwelt upon at some length

Claudius was much exercised over the
