DR.. MAYS'S
MIND FIXED.
Is Satisfied That
E. N. Jones Is
Insane.

The examination of DR.. w. H. Mays
as an expert on the question of the
sanity of z. NJ. Jones, on trial for the
murder of Mrs. Sarah Parmenter &C.
cupied the greater portion of yester-
days session of Judge Gears court.
After the long hypothetical question
put to him the previous day was re-
peated, as amended under argument
by both sides, the witness unhesitat-
ingly pronounced that the defendant
was insane.
Cross-examination of DR.. Mays by
the prosecution in effect put to the
jury for decision the question as to the
degree of insanity that existed when
a supposedly insane person had to
prime himself with liquor before GO
ing forth to shoot down people. An
other point raised was the reloading
of his pistol by Jones, which the wit
ness regarded as but an evidence of the
cunning often manifested by insane
subjects. DIR. Mays indicated that his
mind was made up on the question,
saying even that nothing could have
induced him to testify on the other
side.
With the evidence Of DIR. Mays the
defense rested, when the prosecution
started with rebuttal Of the insanity
defense. Before adjournment Mr.. and
Mrs. Marcus Parmenter Deputy Sher-
if Chillingworth, Police Captain Rob-
'ert Parker and c. w. Ashford were
called. There was the usual wrang-
ling over technical questions of evil
dence. considerable time being taken
in research by the stenographer
amongst notes taken far back in the
long trial.
Drs. Miner. Hodgeon and wayson
will be called as experts in the rebuff
tai.
